Accidentally Shot.

Mr.. VIM. Coleman who lives at Nash
vile, Tenn, a son-in-law of Mr.. j. R.
Johnson, this place, met with quite a
serious accident a few days ago. He
had been shooting at birds; a friend
came up and they engaged in CONVEX
sation. Mr.. Coleman had his gun in
his hand and carelessly lowered it, the
muzzle resting on the toes of one of his
feet. Being interested in the CONVEX
sation he forgot about the gun being
loaded, and pulled the trigger. The
gun fired and Mr.. Coleman lost two
toes. 1t is thought that he will be abb.
to get about in a short time. The
Nashville Banner writes as follows:
BILLY" Coleman. the former we'll
known bookmaker, but now a prosper
Gus farmer living several miles from
the city on the Nolensville turnpike,
accidentally shot himself yesterday
while out hunting, and as a result he is
to-day minus two toes. While resting
the muzzle of his gun on his foot, the
weapon in some way was discharged,
resulting in wound which necessitat-
ed the amputation of two toes.
Mr.. Coleman was attended of DIR
Russell and the physician does not
anticipate any serious complications I'M
less blood poisoning follows, which is
only remotely possible.

A Most Beautiful Display.

Last Saturday morning we were in
vited to visit the millinery parlor of S.
Field & Co where we beheld sight of
exquisite beauty, displaying delicate
and artistic taste. In viewing the many
handsome hats, trimmed in the latest
style, we felt like we were walking
through flower garden in the month
of May. The arrangement of the par
lor was an evidence that ladies of re-
fined taste had been at work and had
made no mistake in displaying their
judgment. During the whole of Sat-
urday ladies visited the parlor, express
ing delight in seeing so many handsome
attractions. This store is conducted by
Miss Sallie Field. Mrs. j. o. Russell,
assisted by Miss Fannie Jones.

The Columbia Steam Laundry has
now been running for more than a year
by its present owners, Mr. and Mrs. ].
B. Rasner. They have been close stu
dents of the business all the while and
have acquired, by experience, a knowl-
edge of the work that turns out first
class laundary, as good as you will get
in any other place. They have under
gone many hard struggles to equip
themselves for this work and since the
people of this town and part of the
State have no other laundry in close
touch, it seems but fair and right that
that the work should be turned into the
one at home. The mistakes, the inabil-
ity to do good work, at first, may have
been sufficient to justify many in send
ing their laundary to others, but that
has been relegated to the past through
painstaking effort for almost day and
night for more than year and differ
ent proposition now confronts those
who pride in the building and maintain
ing home industries. We trust that the
people of Columbia and adjacent towns
and communities will not overlook their
duty to The Columbia Steam Laundry,
for its work will meet the requirements,
and its owners and operators are de-
serving, honest people. Send your laun-
dry and give them a trial and don't put
it off till Christmas to do it.

We are informed that some one has

No word of censure is too severe for
such vandalism, and no legal punish

guilty party be found. 1t is bad enough
to destroy beauty outside the sacred en-
closure of cemetery, but when one be-
comes so Indifferent and so mean as to
mar the beauty around the resting place
OF the dead, it reaches the lowest depth
OF human depravity. Mrs. Butler. the
widow, has taken much pains to keep
the grave of her departed husband in a
neat and attractive form and to accom-.
plish this she had some of the choicest
flowers growing. Last week on her
visit to the grave she found all Of them

the guilty party will be caught and the
severest legal punishment speedily in
ficted.

Mr.. H. M. Harris, of Morganfeld,

Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn.
was called to this city last week to adj
just the less sustained by Mr.. B. G.
Redman, in the burning of his store
and stock of goods some two or three
weeks ago. Mr.. Redman presented
the. amount of his loss which was in
vestigated and promptly paid without a
single contention which speaks well for
both the insured and the Company and
its special agent, Mr.. Harris. Coffey
and Cravens are the local agents and
their transactions with the Company
have been highly satisfactory. Mr..
Harris spent couple of days with
them which resulted in securing con-
siderable new business. That the loss
was Immediately reported and that the
adjustment and prompt paying were
satisfactory to all interested is an in
PRODUCTION most favorable to any one
who desires insurance and pleasant and
honest dealings should loss occur.
The E. L. Sinclair Co. have recently
added to its business equipments for
broom factory and the making of
handles and singletree of every descrip-
tion. At present the plant will only
make handles as there is no broom corn
in this country, but it is hoped that
some of our thrifty farmers will launch
out in the production of this crop which
will be profitable one. The machinery
has been tested and does a high grade
of work. Beech, sugarrrees, hickory,
sycamore, sweetgum and oak will be
used and for which the company will
pay good price.
The new firm of Order, Morrison &
Goodman have fully installed their
plant and are in position to give the
public any thing in their line on short
notice. They occupy the building at
the Columbia Roller Mill which has
been used for saw mill and planning
mill purposes for several years. The
same saw rig, which is good one, is
doing it's work while the planer and
other machinery are all new and of the
latest patent. All three men are ex-
perienced in this work and doubtless
will enjoy splendid trade.
