Chas. Peace, aged 40 was instantly
killed by the explosion of a boiler at
a saw mill in Flatwoods, eight miles
southeast of Ironton last Friday after
noon at 4 O'Clock. Peace and his
brother, Harrison, and two boys
were at work at the mill. Harrison
and the boys were in the mill and
Chas. was alone by the boiler. The
explosion came without any warning
and the unfortunate nan was blown
nearly two hundred feet. The de-
ceased was a widower, the son of John
M. Peace, and leaves five small chill
dren. The funeral occurred the fol-
following day and interment was
made in the family cemetery in the
Flatwoods.
There will be three eclipses of the
sun and moon during the months of
August and September, says an ex-
change. On August 81 there will be a
partial eclipse of the sun; however, it
will be of such short duration at this
point thatit will attract little atten-
ton. On September 18th there will
be a total eclipse of tire moon, visible
in all parts of the United States, and
will be a sight seldom witnessed in a
century. On September 20 there will
be a partial eclipse of the sun, visible
in this locality. This gives us two
eclipses of the sun within Que month,
or at two consecutive new moons, and
an eclipse of the moon at the full
moon which intervenes between the
two eclipses of the sun.
Last weeks Centerville Outlook
says that the report that old man
Smith shot and killed young Parker at
Greedy Reynolds county, August 9th,
is not true. The Outlook further
states that so far as it has been able
to ascertain there has been no such
killing at all, anyway, nowhere in
Reynolds county. That paper also
says that the report may have origi-
mated from a story extant that Smith
was following young Parker with a
gun through the north western part
of Reynolds county. We only told
the story as it was told to us by a man
whom we have always regarded as re-
liable. We are satisfied that he
thought he was telling us the truth.
But we all know that a tale like
this becomes very much elaborated
after having been repeated by one
or two persons.
