great grand children. Such an oc
currence happened at the residence
of J. W. Crow on Sunday Aug. 12,
when ubout 90 or 100 of Grandma
Crow's relatives and neighbors
came to help her celebrate her
birthday. Propped up in her bed
which she. has been unable to leave
for several months, she smiled
and talked with her friends and
seemed to enjoy herself nicely.
Especially did she enjoy the sing
ing, with Mrs. Folsotn of Junction
and Mrs. Banibridge of Klkhead
presiding at the organ. After a
Very pleasant afternoon refresh
ments were served and the guests
departed for their several homes
each one wishing that grandma
may see tunny such hoppy birth
days. NJ5ARI.Y A RUNAWAV.
Wednesday morning there came
near being n serious runaway ac
cident at the bridge at the mill dam.
A lady was driving a horse hitched
to a hack, just in the rear of a team
driven by u man. As her horse
came upon the bridge it became
frightened and almost backed the
buggy off the bridge which is with
out railings. The man seeing the
trouble jumped out of his con
veyance to the assistance of the
woman, and 'his team, becoming
frightened, almost plunged into
the race at the other end of the
bridge. - Fortunately, the teams
Were controlled before any serious
damage was done. Several farmers
have spoken nbout that bridge and
the one at the mill being without
ratlings, and the county or city,
which ever is responsible, should
ee to it at once.

S. C. Mills and Enoch, one of
the celebrated Siwash characters
who has ornamented this thriving
little city for many years got into a
dispute "over money matters"
ast Saturday nioriiinir and a scran
was the result. Enoch claimed
Mr. Mills owed him is cents and
Mr. Mills claimed he had paid the
bill to Enoch's illustrious father.
Enoch became abusive and Mills
tried to look pleasant and avoid
him. Finally Enoch said some
awful swear wouls to Mills and the I
little fellow periled away at the
"Injun" but missed. After a
warm mix-up and any ouantity of
wild swings during which Mills
landed on the Indian's mug a hot
right, Marshal McFnrlnnd made
his appearance and put an end to
an affair which would undoubtedly,
if allowed to goon, ended 111 the
red man being pounded into an un
recognizable black and blue pulp.
It will be gratifying to Mr. Mills'
friends to know that he was not
brow beaten into paying that 15
cents over again.

Geo. Lea, of this city, who was
awarded the contract for the grad

pointed in his effort to secure one
of the county's rock crushers, went
to I'ottland last week and purchased
one outright. Mr. Lea is an enter
prising, progressive and up-to-date
business man and he don't propose
to let a little thing like the pur
chase of a $600.00 rock crusher
stand in the way of fulfilling his
contract. The crustier is now set
up and ready for business.
