BOY HAD MARROW ESCAPE

Reyburn Perkins, a colored boy, agec
18 years, had a narrow escape from
death early Monday morning. A fast
freight train collided with horse and
carriage in which he was riding on the
Kirkwood railroad crossing.
Perkins makes his home in Summit
Bridge. Early Sunday evening he drove
his horse a few miles above Kirkwood.
At about l o'clock he started to return
and just a short distance above Kirk
wood he fell asleep. The horse con-
tinued leisurely on its way home. At
that instant the engine, which was bear
ing down on man, horse and carriage at
a rate of fifty miles an hour, struck the
carriage. The horse was killed instantly
and the carriage was demolished. Per-
kins was tossed into the air, landing on
the station platform, in an unconscious
condition. A telephone call was sent in
for Dr.. Dorsey W. Lewis of this town
and he hurried to the scene of the acci-
dent. He found that Perkins was more
scared than hurt. No bones were broken
and he is not injured internally. DR..
Lewis took him to his home where he is
almost as we'll as ever.

New Series Of Coins

After "a years of the use of the
present type of dimes, quarters and
half dollars, new series of these coins
in a new design will soon be placed in
circulation. Within the next two
weeks the mints at Philadelphia, Dem
yer and San Francisco will begin to
stamp dimes of the new design, 10000
of which will be issued. The law pro-
vides that the design of coins can be
changed only once in every 25 years,
but no adulteration in these coins has
been made since 1882. The last new
coin to be introduced was the buffalo"
nickle, issued in 1918.
