Urandma Winston met with a seri ous accident Monday evening, which perhaps is the oddest and most singu lar ever heard of in the state. She stooped to get Some eggs from a nest in the chicken yard when a huge I'lymoth ltock rooster viciously at tacked her, tearing several frightful gushes, one on her left temple half an inch deep and another on top of her head with his long sharp spurs. The blow knocked her down, and she almost fainted, but luckily the rooster did not continue" the attack or she surely would have been killed. As it was she nearly bled to death before crawling to the house and a doctor arrived. Dr. Mount says ho never saw wounds of that size bleed so terribly. Joseph Personals.
