/ On Tueday, while driving team of
horses belonging to Mr.. Jos. Mathis,
hitched to wagon fitted with loose
floor boards for hauling dirt for the
new Grange hall, one of the boards
tilted in front of the hall and frighten
ed the horses which started to run
away. Mr. Mathis son Hills, who
was seated on the rear of the wagon,
jumped off and escaped injury The
driver fell. just back of the horses
and in some manner his feet became
caught in the swingletrees so that for
more than a square he was carried
suspended head downward, sometimes
scraping the ground, but fortunately
being able to hold himself from being
run over by keeping hold on the lines
He subsequently was released by a
side buck of the wagon. In the mean
time Mr.. Mathis, who had started TO
walk home, in an attempt to stop the
horses, sprang in front of them and
caught one by the bride, but lost his
hold and was struck on the side by a
wheel and had his right leg broken
below the knee, and also sustained a
bruise on his left leg. The driver es-
capped with lacerated finger and nu-
merous bruises. DR.. Joseph Hurff
was Immediately summoned and at
tended to the victims. The horses
attempted to turn into the driveway
at Mr.. Mathis house, but ran into the
bank and stopped.
This accident will in no way inter-
fere with Mr.. Mathis business, as he
has engaged Chas. J. Firth, his former
assistant.

OVERLOOKED BY THE READER
Books by Donald G. Mitchell Seem Un
appreciated by the Present
Generation.

Probably majority Of those who
knew of Donald G.. Mitchell as the
author of two or three volumes of
charming essays had supposed him
dead long ago, and were surprised
at the announcement of his death.
For many years he has lived re-
tired life at his home in New Ha-
ven, and if he has occupied his time
in writing it has been by way of pas
time and not for publication. His
books that won him popularity, how
ever, 'Reveries of Bachelor" and
''Dream Life" could only have been
written by one still young and to
whom life yet offered much-one
with imagination and hope and ex-
pectation. 1t was CO. years ago or
thereabouts that he wrote these two
books. Does any one in this genera
ton read them? One seldom hears
them spoken Of. If not read, then
why? Their poetic 6 race and charm
are not of an efferve scent sort, but
have a lasting qua lily. Many a
much-lauded book Of these days falls
far short Of them in merit.

SAMARITAN OF HER RACE.


Z DR.. Matilda Evans is a colored
woman Of Columbia, S. c., who has
established and conducts hospital
in that city. She was graduated sew
eral years ago at the Women's Medi-
cal college of Philadelphia, and, re-
turning to her old home, found the
negroes with no hospital, and the
first money she earned was used to
establish such facilities. She took
an abandoned house and had cots for
four patients. The hospital has
grown, and the wealthy whites, in
f1uenced by her self-sacrifice; have
begun to help her in the work.
