TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

About II O'Clock, on Tuesday,
Mary Samuels Williams, the bright
and attractive three year old
daughter of Judge Ben. G.. Will
liams, of this city, accidentally set
fire to her clothing while playing
with matches in the bathroom of
Judge Williams residence. on Muir
ray street, and was fatally burned.
1t seems that the little one had
gone to the bathroom and by some
means got hold of some matches
and struck one, thus starting the
blaze.
Her screams attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. j. l.. Wasson, who was
passing, and who ran TO the child's
assistance, followed by the colored
cook.
The clothing of the little one was
torn off. but not until the damage
was done. The cook was pretty
badly burned also.
Drs. n. NJ. Garrett and John G..
South were summoned and did all
that was POSSIBLE to alleviate the
little darling's sufferings, but she
was too badly burned to survive,
and passed away at o'clock Tues
day night.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. c. r. Hudson at =
o. clock on Wednesday from the

remains were tenderly laid to rest
in our cemetery.

munity is extended to the stricken
family in their terrible sorrow.

Mr.. Webster defines this term to
mean an Opiate inducing sleep.
An opiate is medicine containing
opium, causing sleep. Opium is
the inspissated juice of the poppy,
and the poppy is soporific plant.

evidence is as pronounced and posi-

me, of an acquaintance, the nurse
deliberately gave morphine on her
own recognizance, because, for
sooth, the patient could not sleep,
and she was tired with waiting for
him to grow quiet! No wonder, it
is, with these evidences at hand,
that whisky drinking by men has
become a lost art-and the women,

NICE was for the most part highly
creditable one and showed some good
talent. The minstrel, or first part, of

were pronounced the best ever seen on

interlocutor. Others taking part were

Possibly no town in the state with a
population not greater than is claimed
here, can boast of as many good horses
as are owned by our local horsemen.
Great as has been the future predicted
for the automobile, man has manifested
no great desire to forsake his old friend,
the horse, and today fine roadsters are
in greater demand than ever before.
Not only are good roadsters eagerly
sought, but those standard bred and Of
acknowledged speed are also coming in
for their share of the honors.
