The mock trial Saturday night was a suc cess in every respect. It is said there were more people in attendance than have ever gathered More at any meeting in Damas cus. The school house was filled to its ut most capacity, yet probably one-thirl of the crowd were unable to gain admittance. We are sorry to report a sad accident from our vicinity. Ella, the four-year old daughter of H. Wade, died Wednesday, having been burned very severely the pre Tious day. She was sitting by the fire place when in some manner her clothes ignited, burning entirely from her, despite the ef forts of her mother to extinguish the Hames. Her mother was not in the house at the time, the srresms of the child twine her first notice of the mishap. She hastened to the j house but the clothes were all ablate when I she reached the child. It is thought the child inhaled the flames, thus hastening ber death. She was buried Thursday in the Damascus g.-aveyard. irrr ove fkom iast wef.k.J Pamasits, Dec. II. J. R.

The first snow of the1 season fell the 61 h inst, and it has snowed j some since, but it melted about as fast as it j fell.

In some way he fell down against his brother who had a hay knife in his hand by which he cut an ugly gash across bis knee which may make the limb still'. J. H. Weaver has closed bis mill down for the winter. While so much is talked about road mat ters I will say, as a correspondent, a few words regarding the road question. But there is no use to tell the peonle the horrible condition of our county roads as everybody knows that well enough. Well then what is the use to growl and tell the people how to do it? why don't they go at it and fix the road instead of talking about it? or other wise send men to the legislature who will jnake better road laws.
