We hear that the report which was Cit
culated here last week to the effect that
there was such large number OF cases
of small pox at Graham WAS not correct.
We are now told that there were very few
cases there.
We have received the annual seed cata-

the seeds sold by this firm are constantly
growing in favor in this section.
We are requested to announce that Rev.
R. E. EImore will preach in the Christian
church next Sunday morning.at II O'Clock.
He has been sick for the past two weeks,
but will be able to fill his appointment

Yesterday was the worst day of the
Winter, so far, and we hope we will have
none worse. The sleet was so sharp that
it pierced ones face like needles, and the
ground was so slick that animals and per-
sons could hardly walk on it. The sun
spot and ground hog are playing the wild
with weather conditions.
On Monday, Anthony Vandike was very
badly injured while cutting a tree in
Thompson Valley. When the tree started
to fall the top struck another tree, causing
the one that was falling to bounce back
1t caught Mr.. Vandike and crushed his
right leg from point above the knee to
the ankle. His left leg was also seriously |
injured MIR. Vandike is a poor man,
with wife and six dependent children.
His home is on Mr.. @. r. Browns farm,
just northeast of town. DR.. G. 7. st.
Clair went to Thompson Valley and gave
him the necessary surgical attention.
What came very near being fatal
accident occurred on Mechanics
Avenue last Monday morning. A young
man named John Taylor, about twenty
two years old, and several companions
we're coasting on toboggan slide. They
were coasting on the sidewalk, and under
took to turn the sled off the sidewalk into
the street and lost control of it. They ran
INTO a telephone pole, and Taylor was
thrown with such force against the pole as
to make him unconscious for time. He
was unable to walk and had to be carried
On a stretcher to the home of NJ. Robert
Webb, where he still remains confined
rom the injury. At first it was thought
hat he had received internal injuries that
night prove serious, but he is now getting
llong very well.
