One of the most exciting runa-
ways ever Witnessed here occurred
Monday just after the tain ar
rived. A negro was driving and
had several occupants in the We
hicle, Rev. J. F. Kirk, Hon. J. G.
Pritchard and A. T. Grant, Jr,,
when the horses became frighten-
ed at the train and started to run
getting a start on the negro who
could not hold them. They fin
ally tore loose from the vehicle
and came tearing up the street
but we're stopped by some one in
the road. The horses were still
harnessed together when Percy
Brown took charge and proceeded
to drive them back after the ve-
hicle when they became frighten-
ed again and came up through
town at break-neck rate, Mr..
Brown lost complete control of
them and was hurled to the ground
in front of court house. There was
an immense crowd of people as
sembled on the court house square
square and it is a miracle that
some of these people were not
trampled to death by these mad
horses. They ran across the
square and into an elm tree one
son each side and breaking the
breast-tree which separated them
and then into a crowd who
were eating dinner but they man
aged to get out of the way except
a few who were knocked down
but not seriously hurt. The
horses then came near running
into the glass front of F. T, San
ford's ice cream parlor but we're
here stopped and driven back to
the stable of M. D. Brown, the
owner of the horses.
Ccoleemee Journal, April 25
From all accounts the speech
of Col. Bismarck Capps, delivered
IN the hall last Saturday night
the 28th inst, in the interest of
prohibition has done a whole lot
of good. We hope that every
thing that works in the mill that
can vote will vote for prohibition
Let us all cast solid vote for pro
hibition in this little town of ours
