While welding an adj on the
construction of the addition to the
Clark Baldwin hub factory last
Friday Andrew Farmhouse rather
severely cut himself on the leg.
His injuries we're such that he had
to quit work and go home, and
Newman Farmer undertook to
complete the job. He had worked
but a little while until he cut him
self just as Andy had, and was
compelled to seek a surgeon.
Newman is able to get about, but
not without crutches.
G. Brassel of Middlebrook re-
Gently purchased the old Pilot
Knob Hotel property for $3.50.
Time works wondrous changes.
Al one time that was quite a valu-
able piece of property and when
the Knob mines were in their glory
was many, many times the scene
of gayety and revelry. But for
years the property has not been
occupied and the structure has
been going into decay. The build
ing is now being torn down and
the timber hauled to Ironton to put
UP some small houses here. a..
Mrs. H. M. Reese, who had been
apparently convalescing from
typhoid fever, suffered a relapse
last week, and it was deemed
necessary by her family and rela-
tives here to remove her to Kansas
City, where she could have the care
and attention of her brother, DR..
B. H. Zwart, one of the best physi-
clans in that city. Accordingly the
Journey was undertaken last Thurs
day, Mrs. Reese travelling on a cot.
By eason of a wreck on the Burl-
ington the party were detained
several hours, but Mrs. Reese
reached Kansas City without i'll
effect. Her host of friends in
Pennington pray for her speedy
recovery to health. - Pennington
