PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Col. Talbert Gave Delightful
Barbecue, Hon. T, G. Tai
bert and Mrs. Blackwell
Injured.

Ialbert gave nice little barbecue
Ito his friends, which was heartily
enjoyed by all present, the meats
being prepared by Judge John
r. Blackwell, an expert in that
line. But for the accident, that be-
fell his daughter, Mrs. DIR. w. G.
Blackwell, the day would have been
delightful one, which occurred as
Mrs. Blackwell was returning from
the cue in her buggy. When she got
nearly home, driving rapidly the
horse made quick turn, throwing
her and her little boy out, dislocat-
ing her knee, and otherwise severely
and painfully bruising her. ! am
glad to say, however, that although
Mrs. Blackwell has sufferd excru-
ciating pains, she is doing nicely at
this writing.
A few days before, Hon. Z. Gar
rett Talbert, drove a wire nail into
the knee joint, making a dangerous
wound, which is remarkable, that
the only remaining children of the
Colonel should be both SO painfully
hurt SO near together in the knee.
Mr.. Garrett is also doing we'll.
At this writing the little girl,
Cornelia, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. N. Edmunds, who has been sick
so long is thought to be dying. Our
prayers and sympathies go out to
our afflicted friends. Little Corne-
liza will be better off, and will be
saved the many trials and tempta-
tions, the common lot of all, who
reach maturity and will no doubt
from the portals of her heavenly
mansion beckon her loved ones to
follow her to the mansions where
there shall be no more crying, no
more tears or sorrow. God help
them to hear it.
We are told by a friend and
neighbor that Mr.. Trav Dorm, of
Falfa, has some very remarkable
and peculiar corn. We don't know
whether Mr.. Trav is trying the
Williamson plan or not, his neigh
Dor didn't say, but said, that he
planted the l4th and 10Th day Of
February. The corn is Eow about
knee high witha peculiar yellow
or golden color, which makes it
beautiful to behold. The friend said
he passed his farm a few days ago,
and Mr.. Dorm was planting peas in
this corn, three in a hill, and when
ever Mr.. Dorm by mistake dropped
four, he stopped down and picked
up the extra one, as-he only wanted
three in hill. He said Mr.. Dorm
had bow-basket on his arm, out
of which he had already dropped
10 acres, and had 25 more to plant.
We hope Mr.. Dorm will report the
results Of his experiments to the
Edgefeld Fair Association.
Our annual series of meetings will
begin here in the Baptisl church
the lst Sunday in August. We have
not learned whom Mr.. White has
secured to help him.
The delegates are all aglow in
contemplation of their visit to
Trenton this week to the Sunday
school convention. .;Miss Addie
Bell leaves Tuesday afternoon.
Miss Emily Beall leaves this p.
m. for visit to Rehoboth relatives.
We trust she will find John Hugh
ey's broken rib better. Say, does a
broken rib stop man from writ
ing?
The picnic by Parksville's -four
hundred last week at Parks mill
was a decided success. Some fshed,
some courted, and all had fine
dinner and a good time. These out
ings are delightful to Parksville
younger set.
Mr.. w. w. Fowler made pic,
ture of the young people which is
now on exhibition at the post Office
and it would do you good to feast
