FRAZIER AND UMBERGER.

Frazier, of the firm of Elicit G. Fra
zier, of Pocahontas, was here as a wit
ness in court this week. He is a good
fellow to meet and talk with-optimis-
tic, prosperous and "feeling good'
generally. Along about Thanksgiv-
ing here was a reunion of the Fraz-
ier family at the home of their father
in Smyth county, and a great time,
and joyful, was had. The firm of Ell
lett & Frazier, is now one of the old
est and largest grocery firms in this
section. Elicit is Mayor of the CITY
of Pocahontas.
Another Pocahontas "boy" here at
urt was Umberger, assistant cash
ier of long service in the Bank of
Pocahontas. When one thinks of the
Bank of Pocahontas he thinks first of
Galway, and his soft voice and be-
witching smile and when one thinks of
Galway up pops the handsome face of
Umberger. These two have pulled
together at the same load for a long
time. Neither the bank nor the town
would seem just natural without
them.

THREE MEN INJURED
At A RAISING"
Horscpen People, While Assist
ing Neighbor in Erecting Shell
ter for Stock, Are Caught
Under Falling Timbers.

A barn-raising in Horsepen Cove
last Saturday came near resulting
seriously to u number of the men
engaged. The injured are:
Rev. Mr.. Meadows, injured about
the face, not seriously.
Robert Gillespie, leg broken.
William Murray, head injured by
being struck by flying piece of tim
ber.
Mr.. Meadows, Robert Gillespie, Will
Graham, and Willie Reese Murray
had volunteered to assist Steve Muir
ray to raise his barn, which he needed
to shelter his stock. The work had
progressed nicely all day Saturday,
and as night approached they got an
extra move on to finish before dark.
About o'clock large log was being
hoisted to the roof as support, and
in some way the men lost their holds
on it, and men and logs all went
to the ground, with the log on top.
After an inventory was taken it was
found that the services of n doctor
was needed and doctor p. d. Johnston
was sent for post haste. He was car
ried over the mountain to Horspen
in short order in his Hupp. He was
accompanied by DIR. Henry T. Haley,
who assisted in setting the broken
bones and otherwise making the men
comfortable.
From last reports the men are all
getting well, and are waiting for an
opportunity to assist in another barn
raising.
Our Shrader's correspondent gives
the following account of the "barn
raising" accident:
Last week five men were painfully
injured by falling barn roof. Mr..
Robert Gillespie and four carpenters
fell under the roof and falling timbers.
Mr.. Gillespie sustained two broken
limbs, skull wound and other minor
injuries. The other workmen receiv-
ed painful, though not serious, inju-
ries. This accident occurred on Mr..
Robert Gillespie's farm in Horsepen
Cove"
