Fine Work.-Mr. P. o. MicWold
has just completed a lady's work
box which we venture to say is the
finest piece of woodwork ever ex-
ecuted in Sank Centre. 1t is We
neered with curly black walnut,
and is finished with a magnificent
polish. Although no varnish was
used in shines like a mirror. Mr..
-'MicWold is skilled in veneering
having spent years at that kind of
work in Europe; and has made this
box for the purpose of letting peo-
pie here know that he can fill Or
ders for fine work for those who
desire it. This box is valued at
SIG, and he is disposing of it by
lot-32 chances at so cents each.
Two Terrible Events. A Mans
Throat Cut from Ear to Ear,-sA
Minister'S Son Goes on a Bender
while his Father is in the Pulpit
Last Sunday morning, while rtolau
appearance everything was quiet
as a Sabbath morning should be,
two remarkable occurrences took
place, both of which have been
kept so quiet that few, persons in
this community are aware that any
thing unusual has occurred.
The first of these terrible af-
fairs occurred at the Sank Valley
Drug Store, where a man named
Eric Erickson had his throat cut
from ear to ear-on the inside
by Doctors Palmer & McMasters
The man had been suffering with
enlarged tonsils, and the doctors
cut them out, and after staying in.
doors about an hour after the per.
Torrance of the operation Mr.
Erickson started for his home {
distant some forty miles in
northerly direction.
While the surgeons were con.
templating their work just com.
pleted, and before the extracted
tonsils, which had been laid in the
east window, were yet wilted by
the morning sun the disciples OF
Esculapius were summoned tt
the Episcopal parsonage, where
they found the eldest son of oul
respected Episcopal minister need
ing surgical aid. While his faith
er and mother were performing
service in the church, which is un-
der the same roof with the parson-
age, the little fellow had fallen
from the woodbox and bent the ul'
ira of his arm, i. e., the bone be-
tween the elbow and wrist. The
above unusual occurrences will &C.
count for what might otherwise
seem strange-the absence of both
of our physicians from divine ser.
vice last Sunday morning. 1t will
readily be seen that they had then
hands full.
For the second time within two
weeks Mr.. j. M. Thomason's
house had a narrow escape from
destruction by fire on Saturday
last. About noon of that day the
roof of the house was discovered
to be on fire about twelve fee1
from the stove pipe. The fire was
mastered after having burned {
hole about three feet square in the
roof.
Senator Capser's bill amending
the statutes relating to the assess
ment and collection of taxes, wa!
passed in the Senate on Tuesday
Under this act the delinquent ta1
list is allowed to be published il
any paper in the county, instead
of combining such paper to thu
county seat. 1t is just measure
and we trust that the House will
also pass it.
