Oct. 2G. Miss Lackey, lady principal
at the Southern Seminary, who
suffered slight fracture Of the right
wrist, is at present at Johns Hopkins
Fl os pital in Baltimore for treatment.
At first the fracture was not thought
to be serious, but it failed to improve
and caused great pain, and grave
fears are felt lest it might result in
the permanent loss OF the use OF the
hand.

at the Seminary. Her daughter, Mrs.

interest about Lexington. They have

from eating the refuse from the
tomato canning factory. The one lost
by Mr.. Dawson was a most beautiful
animal. She would have weighed
Thousand pounds. This may be the
development of q new chapter OF

amounts to criminal carelessness, and
the guilty ought TO be made to pay
for the COWS.

cause.
