of hands at work the firm expect

The children are now in the full
enjoyment of holiday but the
schools will be opened at the earl

BADLY BURNED-On Sunday
last Mrs. William McKnott, resid:
ing on the Raymond's Neck road,
three miles from this town, was
very bodily burned about her back,
arms, and shoulders from her
clothes taking fire while working
about the stove, and her condition
is very critical. AS soon as she
| found she was on fire she ran out
doris which tended more to spread
the flames. Her husband who was
two or three hundred yards distant
from the house heard her screams
and fastened to her relief as fast
as he could over the soft ground,
extinguished the flames and went
for DR.. Clifton, who pronounced it
a very bad burn, but considering
the extent of the injuries, thinks
the patient doing well.
Another of our young men who
went West less than two years ago
has not been entangled in the mat
rimonial meshes, if we may be-
lieve the Indianapolis Sunday
Times, because of excessive mod
esty, Leap-year item in that
paper appearing as follows: Colt,
W.F.C.-Is another bashful young
man who will not reveal his age.
He is connected with the Indianap-
oils National Bank. He reads,
writes and ciphers with precision,
keeps good hours and attends Mer-
idian Street Church. He is from
the good old state of Delaware and
has come West to grow up. He is
growing and we can recommend
him as a proper person for the at
tertion of matrimonially inclined
ladies, but he is fast falling into
the habits of bachelors, including
smoking in bed and sleeping late
Sunday mornings to get an excuse
for not attending church. Dam
sells who desire to embrace so
tempting an opportunity as is here
presented, will do well to investi-
gate Mr.. Colts advantages.

NEW PHOSPHATE FACTORY
Plans that have been in contem-
plation for some weeks for the
establishment of another phos-
phate factory near this town were
put into an initial state of execu-
ton, last week, by the purchase Of
property at Smyrna Landing,
near the Lime Kiln, of Mrs. Ellen
Cummins, containing about two
acres of ground and having a
frontage of 500 feet on the creek.
A stock company was thought and
talked of, but we think is abandon
ed for the present and the business
will be conducted in the name of
William M. Lewis & Company.
Mr.. Lewis has been for the past
five or six years the superintend-
ent of the mills of j. e. Tygert &
Company and thus enters on the
business with an accurate knowl-
edge of its manufacture. John B.
Lewis, the father of William NJ, is
now looking up lumber for the
erection of the mill which they ex-
pect to have constructed for par
tial spring trade. There are other
properties at the Landing desirable
for manufacturing purposes, that
if thus occupied and developed,
