GIRL JUMPS
DOWN WELL.
Fifteen Year Old Mary HOOsieT
Discovers Her Clothing On
Fire Jumps Into Well.

With rare presence of mind Mary
Hoosier saved herself from a horrible
death at the home Of her parents about
six miles from Snow Hill. in Colbourn's
District, on Wednesday Of last week.
The little girl, who is about fifteen years
of age, was getting supper for the
family when she discovered that her
dress had caught on fire from a spark.
With a scream she ran from the house
and jumped into well IA feet deep.
There was about four feet of water in
the we'll and she landed on the bottom
with her head above the water. Her
dress was forced up around her head
and face and she was badly burned, but
grasping the garments she submerg-
ed them and with fingers badly burned
caught hold of the curbing within her
reach and pulled herself up to the next
section and on to the top of the well,
FASTENED in her efforts by the screaming
of her little sister, whom she feared
had also caught aiire. Finally she reach
ed the top of the well. pulled herself
out, and went to quiet the little one.
BY this time the people on the farm
were drawn to the house by the commo-
ton incident to Mary's plunge into the
well, and they cared for her burns as
best they could. A messenger was
dispatched, for DIR. Paul Jones. who
rendered medical aid and she is now
getting along nicely although terribly
burned.
When Mrs. Kelley was fatally burned
in the same neighborhood several months
ago, Mr.. Hoosier told his family if such
an accident should befall any one of
them that the best thing to do would be
to jump down the well. Mary remem-
bered this just as soon as she discovered
her dress was ablaze and she flew to
the old well and jumped in.

The MESSENGER is in receipt Of
an invitation from the Board Of Mana
gers of the Maryland State tuberculosis
Sanitorium to be present at the dedica-
ton of the Sanitorium and to luncheon
to-day Saturday. Hon. John Walter
Smith is president of the Board of
Managers of this most worthy institu-
ton, and Hon. Samuel X. Dennis is the
secretary and treasurer. Mr.. Dennis
is one of the rising young men of the
State. Whatever he has to do he does
thoroughly. He visits the State SAM
forum regularly every week and takes
interest in its well-doing. II is a god
send for those threatened with con-
sumption and those who are in the first
stages of that devastating disease.
From the latest advices that have
been received from the large truck
growers and the shipping agents along
the line of the New York, Philadelphia
& Norfork Railroad there will not be
more than third of a crop of white
potatoes in Accomac and Northampton
Counties in Virginia. The crop of early
peas, the first shipments of which were
made from the lower section of North
ampton County the early part of last
week, also is failure, and it is feared
that the shortage in these crops will
very seriously embarrass number of
truckers who planted heavily of peas
and potatoes this year. No section Of
country of like area produces as great
quantities of marketable vegetables as
the counties of Accomac and North
ampton. The farmers and truckers are
everything to the people there and
when they receive a setback other
industries must necessarily suffer.
