What came near being fatal ac-
cident occurred at the home of Ben
Bledsoe, who lives on the old Dennis
Daughton farm about ten miles south
east Of Leon last Friday afternoon
The little two year old son of Mr.. Bledsoe
was playing in the yard near where
IN old gentle horse was tethered, and
it is supposed the little fellow struck
the horse with switch, and the animal
kicked him on the head, sinficting a
frightful wound, it's hoof cut cash
over Eve inches in length in the scalp
and also fracturing the skull. 1t is a
wonder the little fellow was not killed
outright, but DR.. Greenman Of Leon waa
summoned and carefully dressed the
wound, seraping the skull whore il waa
fractured and sewing up the cash, and
he is getting along nicely with every
prospect of a rapid and complete re-
oovery.

Barre the South Barre work was again
taken up, this time under the auspices
Of The Barre society, and John Gates, a
local preacher in the Barre church, was
designated by Mr.. Atwater as the reg
ular supply. A report BY Mrs. w. II.
PetTie, the treasurer Of the work there,
which was given March i, 1901, shows
that the sum Of S2is.S7 had been rails
ed and the sum of $2O6.59 expended dur

also donated to the society a small lot

Atwater came j. r. George made a gift
to the church of two lots on Prospect
Hill thinking that their ultimate sale
might bring into the society at least a
part of the amount which he had been
accustomed to pay to its treasury each
year
