Youthful Runaways.

Last Monday a small son of
G. B. Snow and a small son of
ex-Sheriff G. H. Matheny of
Maxville, aged II and II years,
took a notion to see some Of the
world. Leaving the school which
they were attending at Maxville,
the boys struck out on foot for
Batesville, which place they
reached early in the night. The
Matheny boy had relatives at
Batesville, who recognized the
runaways, and telephoned their
parents. Mr.. Matheny and Mr..
Snow left for Batesville Monday
night at 8 o'clock, and the boys
were brought back home. The
boys, when questioned as to their
destination, said they
were "going to the bottoms to
pick cotton"

Narrow Escape From Death.

Ed F. Smith of Melbourne, who
is we'll known in this section,
having lived for years in Even :
ing Shade, came very near be-
ing burned to death in his mill a
few days age. The Melbourne
Times says: "The mill is run by
a gasoline engine and Mr.. Smith
was replenishing the tank, and
in doing so spilled some Of the
gasoline, which came in contact
with the jet beneath the tank and
ignited. Mr.. Smiths clothing
and beard caught fire and he
would have been burned to death
in a very few minutes had it not
been for his great presence OF
mind. With the flames rapidly
enveloping him he made a rush
for the creek near by, and sue
ceeded in putting out the flames,
but not until he had been SER
iously burned about the face,
neck and hands. 1t will be sew
eral weeks before he is entirely
recovered"
