Mrs. Ella EdveS--Other News.

JoNEsvILLE, Nov. 9th.
weather continues favorable for all
kinds OF work and our people are
making good use Of the fine fall to
gather crops, build houses and all
other out door work.
Last Saturday evening Mr.. +. III.
Jetcr was driving into town with
Mr.. Bob Cook in the phacton with
him. Mr.. Jetcr was driving two
mules and where Church street
crosses the railway near the oil
mill and calaboosc there was Il
freight train passing which cut Mr..
Jetcr of, but the mules bucked and
plunged forward, and the phaeton
struck the moving train which
snapped the pole of the vehicle and
the mules turned aside into the
ditch and Mcssrs. Jcter and Cook
jumped out and the phacton went
on against the train which knocked
it against freight car that was
standing on the side track, and it
was reduced to kindling wood.
The men and mules were not hurt,
but moro or less frightened, and
well they might have been, for it
was narrow escape with their lives.
BY the way, this is dangerous
crossing.
Miss Bell Free gave nice Hal
lowo'cn party last week. More

age and observation brought back
the horrid looks of the Kn Klux
Klan. After the disguises were
dumped refreshments were served,
but not until q good round of laugh
ter was indulged ili at the mistaken
ideas the party had as to who was
who before the masks fell.

The deep well at our hotel has
been completed at last. 1t is a Al
inch well, lG9 feet deep, with a
head OF water 129 feet deep. The
water is pure, good, free stone
water, all surface water being cut
entirely off. The pump used is a
Rumscy and it brings water at
about the second stroke. Jonesville
ought to have at least a half dozen
such wells as this. The cost of this
well is two dollars per foot.
