Phil Wheat died at his home in
Cookeville Tuesday of last week as the
result of a paralytlc stroke sustained
some months ago. The remains were
buried at Algood. The deceased was
we'll known to many IN this county and
was respected by all who knew MIN.
Charles Deatherage, Jr., who has
been working with L. G. brldgde
gang for year or two, met with a
serious accident Friday. While assist
ing with work on bridge near Ozone
he fell 26 feet and broke his right leg
near the ankle. He was taken to Nash
vile for treatment and the doctors
have hope that he will fully recover and
escape the affection of stiff ankle.
This is the third time Mr.. Deatherage
has met with serious ACCIDENTS. Once
before he fell IS feet and by the good
fortune of striking on his shoulders he
was slightly injured, being rendered
unconscious for a short time and hav
ing a dislocated thumb. When he fell
Friday he had dedcided to quit the
bridge work and go to farming this
year That was to have been his last
day for the railroad. His in jury will
now doubtless prevent him from doing
any work for several weeks and COM
pletely upset his family plans.
j. T. Weaver and family moved last
week to Pomona to house owned
there by Mrs. q. M. Martin. Mr..
Weaver will continue his work as dray-
man and go back and forth daily
horseback.
Mrs. H E. Kelso, of Norton, Va,
arrived last week for a visit with home
folks, the J. E Burnett family. Mrs.
vile, where she will visit for short
time before returning home.
Sampson DeRossett moved his sto
of dry goods and shoes here from
Hartman the first of the week and is
occupy ing the room in the new Potter
building next to the postoffice. The
family will not come at present as they
have house rented in Hartman until
fall. They may make some deal soon,
however, that will cause them to move
here, in the event they can secure a
satisfactory house. This move on the
part of Mr.. DeRossett Is no surprise to
his friends here as it was thought con-
ditions were so unfavorable IN Harri- |
man, owing to the large number of
stores in the same line he carries, that
he would not be able to succeed there. |
Mr.. DeRossett has been in the goods
business for many years and is well
EeEseeed- ~ the needs of this section,
which will doubtless enable him to be-
come a strong competitor in this field. |,
He has a wide acq ualntance In TINS
county, which will prove very helpful
to him. Our people will be much
pleased to have the family as citizens
again after an absence of about five
years.
Saturday Cashier J. s. Reed moved
to the property vacated by j. L.
Weaver and family.
Milton Baisley was over from Po-
mona Monday to have DR.. V. l.. Lewis
look after an injury he received little I
over two weeks ago. He fell from his /
horse ana broke his collar bone. Mr.. s
BaisIey is quiet and INDUSTRIOUS
CITIZENS and his many friends will hope
for his early recovery. !
We will pay $50 reward tor the arres &
and conviction of the person who set
fire in the Baisley old place, Sundayt ,
