/. Val Parham, president OF the Fir-
ginia Feed and Grain company, was
the victim of a serious accident, at
the company's warehouse in Old
street, about $50 o'clock tins morn
ing.
1t appears that large hominy
machine, which the company operates,
became ohokei and Mr.. Parham had
gone to the floor on which the ma
chine is located to learn the trouble.
He found the miller spreading the
grain upon a table from which ii
enters the rollers. While aiding the
miller the young mans right hand
was caught in the rollers and severe
ly crushed. But for presence OF mind
of the miller in cutting off the cleo
trio current Parhams injuries might
have been much worse. 1t Is said
that it required twenty minutes to
extricate the hand.
The young man showed remarkable
nerve. and with his left hand held
the arteries of the injured wrist until
handage could be applied. The
ambulance was summoned and Mr..
Parham was taken to the Petersburg
hospital. where the hand was am
putated by DR.. Rennie just above the
wrist. The young man is univer-
sally popular In both business and
social circles.
Bright Tobacco Market.
That Petersburg will soon be a
bright tobacco market ranking with
the best, is strongly indicated by the
interest being manifested by ware
housemen and business men In the
great premium sale to be held In this
city on October 5th. The large COM
panies using the, bright leaf have
promised to place buyers on the Pc
tersburg market, which is a guarantee
that If the weed is offered here IL Will
bring as good prices as is paid for
IL in other markets.
Nearly every merchant in the city
has offered a prize OF some descrip-
ton for the farmer raising the best
quality and the largest quantity. The
unfortunate fellow who offers the
poorest lot will be given two gal
Ions Of SO whiskey as a consolation
prize.
