LOUISA HOSPITALITY.

Louisa people extended a very
graceful and abundant hospitality to
the Rev. Mr.. Miller while he was
within their gates. He was warmly
received by the church and made to
feel "at home" by his entertainers,
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams Adams and
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Bromley. and pos
sibly others of his church. And 9TH
ers were not backward in their at
tentions. On Tuesday Mr.. Miller.
with Rev. Critics, of the NJ. e..
Church. South, Hamilton, OF the
Baptist church, and Summers, of the
Christian church, were guests of Mr..
and Mrs. M. s. Burns for dinner,
and on Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Summons entertained the
same clerical gentlemen with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Summers, with high
noon feast of the fat things Of the
land. Mrs. Hamilton graced this oc-
casion with her presence. These
hosts are hospitable to a degree,
and their guests have a graceful
and appreciative sense of the enjoy
ment afforded on these notale oc-
casions.

HAD CLOSE CALL.

Charley Williams, G. and o.
brakeman, had a close call for his
life on Saturday morning last. He
was attending to his duties near
the freight depot in this city. In
order to get to the end Of switch
near the old canning factory he
made a jump at one of the cars
in west bound freight train as
1t passed him. He caught the hand
hold and had his feet in the stir
rup, but his hands slipped and the
moving train, going at lively rate,
threw him into a cattle guard near
ly fifteen feet distant. He was much
stunned and bruised. and it requir-
ed half dozen stitches to close a
lacerated wound in the top OF his
head. Williams was attended by G.
and o. surgeon Wroten and the in
jured man was sent to his home in
Huntington. When Charley came
to" after his head-on collision with
the ties he expressed great surprise
and satisfaction when he found him
self able to walk.

BOY loses AN arm.
Little Son Of a Blind Man Has Arm
Cut OF By Train.


Frank Blankenship, aged twelve
who lives near the Crabtree gap,
about a mile and half below this
city. L. on bed In the hospital mi
nus his left arm. This very unfortu-
nate condition at this early period
in the lads life was caused by his
attempting to get on a moving
Q. and o freight train short
distance below the Fulkerson
place last Sunday afternoon. The
boys own story, which is corr0borat-
ed by several eye witnesses, Is that
as the train passed along he ran
for some distance by the side of
1t, trying to jump on. He finally
succeeded IN grasping the hand hold
when the train jerked him from his
fett. and when he let go he fell
SO close to the rails that one wheel
caught his arm, completely strip
ping the skin and some of the It's
sues from near the shoulder to the
hand. He was carried to the hospi-
tai. where DIR. York found 1t nee
essary to amputate the arm at a
point near the shoulder. At last
account from the unfortunate boy
be was resting easy and doing well.
This serious accident, which might
have been fatal one, Is but one
OF many object lessons In the Grim
inal folly of trying to board NOV
Ing train. Such actions ARE to be
seen nearly every day right here in
Louisa, and the wonder Is that more
accidents do not result from such
attempts.

PULPIT AND PEW.

The protracted meeting at ~
Baptis- church closed Wednesday
night, after successful series a.
ten days. Services were held daily,
often twice day. The result was
gratifying. there having been sew
eral conversions and additions 20
the church. The minister in charge
of the revival was the Rev. Mr. Nil
Ter, of Marion, this State, a preach-
er of much more than ordinary abil-
ity. His preaching was of high
order, being eloquent, earnest and
scriptural. and entirely devoid OF the
clap trap and rant which sometimes
characterizes special efforts. The
meeting just closed, while held in
q Baptist church and conducted b.
minister of that faith, was IN a
general sense, a union service, min
listers of other denominations being
present and taking active part In
nearly all the meetings. The pews.
were filled nightly by attentive au--
diences.
Mr.. Plummer, of the M. g. Church ),
expects to begin his meeting on the
23rd.

SCHOOL SUPERVISORS ELECTED.

At the last meeting OF the Coun-
ty Board OF Education Miss Eliza
beth Lester and Mr.. Don Belcher
were elected supervisors of public
schools for Lawrence county at a
salary of $50 per month. They will
take special course in this work
at the State Normal this spring
Miss Lester holds life State certi-
ficate. She is a daughter Of Lind
say Lester, of this place. Mr.. Belch-
or Is successful teacher, of Gal
lup.
1t was agreed to build four new
school houses If proper sites can be
secured on satisfactory terms.
Further payment was made on old
debts that the board found against
various school districts when it
came into office. This board has
now settled nearly $4,000 of such
debts.
500 was appropriated for pre-
miums In the corn growing and
good roads contests.

Many people. judging from rii-
mors and gossip. have an entirely
erroneous idea as to the closing OF
the contest and are under the I'M
preston that It is possible for some
persons to have q little inside knowl
edge which will enable thenf to turn
In enough money to win out on the
last day or night of the contest.
To insure absolute fairness, the
management has adopted the follow
ing precautions to govern the last
three days OF the contest. The con-
test Manager will make his final
count on Wednesday. March 18th
and all votes clipped from the pa
per and store votes must be de-
posted In the ballot box before 8
o'clock that night. Immediately af-
ter he makes his final count, the
ballot box will be sealed and the
key turned over to the judges who
will be selected from prominent men
from this city, The final three days
voting will be entirely in their
charge. So you can rest assured that
any votes you place In the ballot
box after March 18th will not be
seen by anyone until the judges
break open the box and begin to
count the votes after the contest
closes.
It Is absolutely impossible for any.
one to find out how many votes and
subscriptions has for no one knows

APPOINTMENT FOR mayo.
Can Go to South America as United
States Minister.

Washington, March 6.-It Ii sta1-
ID on good authority that John c.
c. Mayo, of Kentucky, millionaino
coal man and prominent in Demo
cratic national politics, has been
rendered the position of Minister -
one Of the largest Southern reDub
lies, and that he has the offer M
der consideration.
When 1t first became known that
Mr.. Mayo had been offered for
eign post there were many express
ions that he would not consider le1y'
ing Kentucky under any conditions
but later the talk is that he has nOo
turned down the proffer.
Mr.. Mayo Is we'll known in Wash
ington, where he has made many
friends by his charming personality
nd his ability. His rise from 4
country school teacher to domi-
nant figure In the coal business and
financial genius have made the Wis
ones sit up and take notice Of him,
and the offer of the Southern pot
is a well-merited recognition Of ~
ability.

BARREN OF TRUTH.

Our former townsman. Jno. Els
wick. now of Glenwood. was in Lou
lisa Monday. He brands as untrue
the statement of "Deadwood Dick
that Fred Elswick had been bitten
by mad dog and would be sent to
a Pasteur institute for treatment.
Mr. Elswick says that nothing of the
sort ever occurred. The NEWS is
not to blame for publishing the let
ter, 1t having had the signature of
the writer. but 1t will be very much
to blame If 1t publishes another
from the same source.
