He had gone in the mine for a ride, and when on the way out, on a loaded trip of coal cars, was knocked off and under the cars,’a num- ber of which passed over his left leg. The doctors in attendance at first examination held out but little hope of saving his leg, but after a more thorough investigation, concluded it was not necessary to amputate. The patient is doing well at this writing. ‘The engine house and the blacksmith shop at Acme Slope colliery, located about four miles from town, were completely destroyed by fire Monday evening at 8:35. The fire evidently caught from sparks from the boiler furnace, which was attended by two night firemen who do the pumping water from the mines at night. When first discovered the roof was aflame, and ready to fall in any moment. The boilers were filled with wa- ter, and consequently were intact. The alarm was telephoned here, firemen were called, and fire engine dispatched to the scene, which arrived at 11 p. m., but too late to save the ‘structures, however, in time to save considerable property near the fire. The mines are owned and operated by the 0. P. Jones estate, managed by W. P. Dun- ¢an. Mr. Duncan was at the fire looking after their interest. The loss will not be so severe if the machinery proves to be all right, which as yet has not been determined. ———————— Pine Grove Mention. Mrs. Mary E. Stover, of Bellwood, is visit- ing at J. G.

Robert is doing a fine hotel business as proprietor of a hotel where he has under his employ nine girls and six men. He is identified with the Democratic party and some day we expect to address him as Hon. R, F.

Dr. Frank Barker expects to give a lecture | on the diseases of horses soon. Everyone had better come, as what he doesn’t know about it isn’t worth asking anyone else. We have met the scribes from Coburn and Georgetown and henceforth must regard them as first class fellows, for both of them can take jokes without getting angry and are as good fellows as you could care to meet.
