FRANKLIN MILLS.
Edward Golden Seriously Injured by an
Explosion in a Limestone Quarry
Last Saturday.
Edward Golden and his broth
er Ellsworth, of Bethel township,
were quarrying limestone at tho
former's h me last Saturday.
Tliev drilled a hole, loaded it,
lighted the fuse, "lighted out"
themselves to a place of safety,
and waited for the explosion.
After waiting a reasonable length
of time, they went cautiously up
to the place and found that when
they had gone out of the quarry,
the fuse had goue out, too. Doing
what quarrymen usually do un
der like circumstances, they pro
ceeded to remove the tamping,
and as they were doing so, the
fuse that seemed so dead, began
to sizz and spit, warning the boys
that there would be somethin'
doin' in about a minute. They
took the hint and left Ellsworth
going clear out of theq.iarry, but
Edward, who was more venture
some, did not go so far. In a mo
ment there was a puff of smoke
and dust, a loud roar, and the
stones played around like a show
er of big hailstones. One of these
stones struck Edward violently
in the left side, pretty nearly put
ting him out of business. Dr.
Remsburg was called and found
one rib broken and one lung in
jured. At present he is not able
to he in bed, but has to spei;d his
nights in a chair.
Mrs. Bundy Crist and Miss
Jessie E. Lewis spent last Thurs
day very pleasantly with Mrs. J.
P. I'isher, near Warfordsburg.
Frank Lewis and Ellsworth
Golden are busy hauling lime
stone for a lime kiln.
Lemuel Kirk is moving his saw
mill from near Franklin Mills to
Job Hess's to saw out a barn bill.
Bundy Crist has a contract o!
logging for Ed Ritzon A. J. Rems
burg s home place.
There will be a flag raising at
Gordon's schooihouse in Pigeon
Cove on Lincoln's birthday. They
are expecting a good time.
There will be a debate at Frank
hn Mills schoolhouse Friday
night, the 19th. All are invited.

MIDWINTER
Clearance Sale
John S. Wilson's Store,
Three Springs.
While there is practically three months of winter weather
to be expected yet, the wide-awake merchant begins early to clear
his stock to make room for Spring purchases.
The old way of merchandising was to carry over from one
season to another all unsold goods, and never parting with an ar
ticle, unless tho full retail prices was received. That day is gone
by. Goods bought for tho winter trade must go in the winter, and
it is much better in the end that the ttock should be closed out at
prolit or no profit, than to be at the trouble of storing it away
and beginning next winter's business with old out-of-date stuff.
During the Month of February
we shall sell at way-down prices,
Men's, Women's and
Children's Clothing
Blankets, Arctics, Rubbers, Carpets, and
with these goods will go at Special Prices.
Dry Goods, Groceries, Hardware and
Housefurnishing Goods.
We want it distinctly understood that when it
comes to quality of goods we will not be under
sold by anybody.
