welded couple left for the home
of the groom at Kyger.
The wedding was a great sur
prise to the many friends of the
bride, who was one of the most
popular young ladies of our COM
munity and the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Oles. The groom
is a prominent Roane county farm

George W., Allen, Sr., and Je-

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Al Hopkins, of Creston, was to-
tally destroyed by fire Monday
night, and in the flames their
little seven year old son perish
ed. The house was not discov-
cred to be on fire until the inter-
Tor was almost a mass of flames,
and although Mrs. Hopkins and
two little girls made their
way to the outside, the little boy
was not missed until it was too
late to rescue him from the burn
ing building. 1t was thought by
the mother that he had passed
out to safety before her, and
when his absence was noted
there was not a possible chance
to save him. Mrs. Hopkins, in
her efforts to save herself and
children, was severely though
not dangerously burned. Mr..
Hopkins was not at home when
the fire was discovered.
1t is not known just how the
fire originated, but as gas fire
was left burning when the fam
lily retired, it is supposed that
it caught fire from the stove,
and when discovered it had gain.
ed such Roadway as to make it
impossible to save anything, and
almost impossible for the mother
and two little girls to make good
their escape. Every effort was
put forth to save the little boy,
but without avail.
Mr.. Hopkins is a riverman, and
is well known at this place.
Clarence Bowser, a young OF
field worker of Big Spring, was
caught by a wire cable and
wound around a wheel shaft las
Saturday evening. The injuries
received by him, though severe
are not necessarily fatal, though
by bare chance escaped instant
death.
Mr.. Bowser, in company with
others, were at work cleaning
out an oil well, and when the
string of tools were being pulled
out he began measuring the
depth as the wire cable wound or
the shaft, when in some manner
his hand caught under the lap Of
the cable and passed over it, the
second round passed over hi!
arm between the wrist and ell
bow, and the third time it caught
him across the shoulder, slanrinl
down his back. The engine was
stopped as quick as possible. but
