NARROW ESCAPE
OF BARNETTE Child
Little Girl Accidentally Shot
With Pistol, Supposed to
Have Been Empty.

The three year old girl of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown Barnett was painfully
but not fatally shot on M Monday
morning by the accidental discharge
of pistol in the hands of Lee Bar.
nett, the oldest son, about 1S years
OF age. The ball entered the child's
face, below her nose. ranged down
and passed out at the side of and
back of the mouth. and then passed
through the point of the child's shoul-
der, inhicting only slight flesh
wounds, which are expected to heal
soon. Drs. Johnston and Gillespie
the physicians. think the child's face
will show the powder marks and
burns through life. as the gun was
discharged at close range. 1t is not
clear just what caused the gun to ex-
plode the cartridge Young Barnett
says he was taking the pistol out of
pocket of coat which was in n
drawer when the accident occurred.
The gun did not belong to him. but
was left there by one of the Burcham
boys, or belonged to one of them.
Lee Barnett is one of the quietest
and best boys in town. and that he
should have been the cause of such an
accident is distressing. 1t was a close
call for the child, and that the case
is no worse is n cause for thankful
ness.

community, the only church in the
county, L believe, seated with chairs.
John Brown, Davidson. Conley, Press
Peery and others are the leaders
there and love their little church.
Mr.. Conley is superintendent of the
Sunday School, which he has not
opened yet-a little late getting at
it, but he will blow the trumpet
about next Sunday, and call the peo.
pie from winter quarters. Prof. LID.
Bowen, l believe, is the teacher OF
the public school nearby. l made ga
few feeble remarks on the great
question of Sunday Schools, which
were heard with kind attention, and
then wended my way home over some
of the toughest, worst roads in the
world. The people are hopeful now
that the roads will be improved. With
such roads, no wonder there is poor
attendance at church and Sunday
Schools, and in many parts of the
county. none at all. The people just
can't get over these roads in the
winter time.
The two greatest needs of this sec
ion is good roads and Sunday Schools.
If there is community on earth
needing better roads and better
church and school facilities, it is this
section around and on Dry Fork. The
country is full of good people, bright
boys and girls. who are absolutely
without religious teaching. There is
once-a-month preaching sometimes, in
many places no Sunday Schools at all.
Perhaps there are people in Tazewell
who won't believe it, but it is true,
nevertheless, that there are hundreds
and hundreds of children in the coun-
ty who have no Sunday School advan-
tages, and hundreds still who are not
taking advantage of the schools they
have. Any one wanting to do mission
work need not go across the sea to
find it. "You can find them at YOUR
door j. A. l.
