was taken out. When my owners name was called, he

me greatly When his teacher corrected him he said
that he did not see mo use in grammar, no how At
this the teacher shivered. I felt much sympathy for her

George Deane, a young man
employed at the sugar factory,
fell from the fifth to the third
floor of the main factory building
on Saturday evening and escaped
with only a few cuts and bruises
and severe shaking up. The
fall of forty feet was broken mid
way by a board which lessened
the force of his decent, and to
this fact the young man probably
owes his life. Deane was uncon-
scious when picked up, and was
at once taken to his room on
south Sixth street, where he was
attended DR.. Packard, the COM
pany surgeon. 1t was found
that no bones were broken,
though his head, face and should
er where he struck the floor were
severely cut and bruised. He
will be able to resume work in a
short time unless internal injur-
les develop. Lamar Sparks.
Mr.. Deane is well known here
and all hope for his speedy recov-
cry.
