BRISTOL, Jan. 14-Mrs. .Gatha
Hickman, Of the east end Of Salem.
is in very critical condition at this
time from infiammatory rheumatism.
She has been i'll for several days.
George W. Williams, a stockman and
farmer, Of Grass run, was very pain
fully, though not seriously injured q
/ few days ago when his horse which he
was mounting slipped and fell and
threw him with considerable force on
the frozen ground. His face struck a
stone and was bruised and lacerated,
and one toe was disclocated. This was
perhaps the most painful injury Of
the accident. However, various sec
endary injuries were received. But
because Of the, acute pain, Mr.. Will
liams would not remain quiet for the
dislocated toe to be pulled back into
its socket, and cut up like everything
at each attempt. After time, though,
the toe was restored to its normal po-
sition. He is getting along quite nicely
at this time. however.

week. '
John R. Dennison, of Upper Indian
run, has lost three fine two-year-old
heifers during the last ten days. 1t
was thought at first that the cattle had
eaten, laurel. Then the, cause was
placed at eating frozen acorns. When
Harvey Williams, M. v. S., Of Wilson,
burg, was called, 1t was found that
lung fever was the cause Of the. cat
ties death. One of Mr.. Denntson's
500 steers is also sick from some
battling ailment-not lung fever. The
frequent changes of the temperature
and the unsettled, rainy weather are
causes of this epidemic Of lung
fever among Mr.. Dennison's cattle.
Such weather conditions are also
creative of colds, lagrippe and pneu-
monia.

Quoted at the, local Methodist Bpis-
copal church by the Rev. Cyrus Polling,

successful as those held at the other
churches on this circuit.

fortunately sprained his ankle while at

at Little Baltimore-on-Indian run
