Notary Public Albert Reynolds and yu editor wore In UrooKvlilo re- I'l'cnily and culled at the Memorial Home to sea Oliver Smith, an old com rade who enlisted at Koynoldsvllln and was a mombel- In the snmo company with Albert during tho civil war, hut whom Ab. had not seen . since Mr. Smith was discharged some thirty-six or thirty-seven years ago. When the war began Ab. was long and lank and yet In his teens. Ho Is now ubout Ci feet tall, 2i feet broad across shoulders and weighs somelhlng less than 300 pounds, and Is a fine looking spi-elinen of humanity. It Is not surprUIng that Coinrndo Smith did not recognize the giant for such Albert appeared to tin I 111 who stood before him In the parlor. Mr. Smith frequently referred to Ab.'s Immense size In tho few min utes conversation. By the time we were leaving tho parlor a number of the old ludles of the home hud assembled In the room adjoining parlor und us Ab. stood at door saying u few parting words to Comrade Smith wo heard the old ladies comment thusly: "What a large man," "He's a noble-looking man," "My, but he Is handsome." Ab. wus as Interesting as a side show to tho old people. in tno issue oi mo vtn lust, wo sum that Albert Reynolds had received bis seventh commission as Notary Public, which was a mistake. Ab. suld It was the 7th commission at a guess, but he has since counted up and finds that this was his thirteenth commission. Incldontully we might remark here that Albert Reynolds hus grown up with Reynoldsvllle. When Ab. was a barefooted urchin the alto this flourish ing town now occupies was a vast wil derness whoro wild bousts roamed at will and the red man's tracks had barely lost the scent. At one time Ab's father, Woodward Roynolds, owned all the land now occupied by tho business portion of town. Later on Ab. and his brother David, full heir to this same land. Ab. owned the side that the First National bank is on and David owned the other side. About twenty-five yoars ago Ab. sold two acres to Charles H. Gor- dou, In whloh was Included tbo land from First National bunk to Syndicate building at corner of alloy, for the big sum at that time of 1200.00. Ab. could not buy two fuet of that same land on Main street now for 9200.00. How ever, Ab's father only paid 11.00 an acre for the land. Republican Primary.

Rt-ed Had Thrilling lisp rrlence and Have Broken Legs. John llutson, who moved from Royn oldsvlllo to Fuller lut week, and J nines Hood, of Eust Brady, hud experiences last Thursday forenoon that they will not soon forget. Reed had both legs broken at ankle, anil Iliitson's left ankle was broken. It Is almost, a miracle that both in 'ii wo-e not killed. Striiitwell, Kibburd & Co. are open ing n largo coal mine near Fuller, six mill s west of ReyuohUvllle, and they have built a railroad ono tnllo and u hiilf long fiora mine to tlpplo at P. R. 11., noar the Fuller Station, and have pt.t. a stnull ciiiglnu on tho road to haul the mine cars to tlpplo and buek to mine. There Is a very heavy grade from tipple to mi no and It was on this little narrow gauge road that these two ntli inen had a wild rie'e and received broken limits. The mine Is not ready for shipping cn .1 yet and Butson, who bud just gone to work for the company Thursday morning, wus helping to haul ballast to get tho roud bed In shapo for shipping coal. About ten o'clock Butson, Martin Straltwell and another man decided to drop three cars of ballast down to where they wanted them without the engine. It was not hard to get tho cars started down the grade, but getting them stopped was dlirerent. The cars were soon speeding along nt a fast rate and when the brukes were applied they proved to bo no good. Butsou was on first car, Straltwell on second, the other passenger on rerr car. When be discovered they bad lost control of the cars he dropped off. The brake that Straltwell was using all force on broke and he fell off the cars head first, and Butson was left alone on the wild train, On account of tho condition of the ground on each side of the track Butson had to stay on the cars until they wore almost flying down the grade when be jumped and broke his leg. The runa way oars crashed Into a string of emp ties at the tipple. About an hour after tbo first accldnnt Engineer Reed was coming down the grade with his engine and two or three cars and on account of bad rail and no sand, the engine became uncontrollable and started rushing down the bill, but It soon jumped tbe track and ploughed the ground up for some distance. En' glnorr Rood was thrown off his engine before It jumped tbe traok and only saved himself from being ground to pieces by taking a death grip on band- bold of engine He was dragged short distance and It was wnlle be was being dragged that bis legs were broken. Martin Straltwell, a member of the coal oompany, who foil off the cars, was badly bruised, but not seriously Injured Kaffir Boy Choir. J. H.

It Is claimed that this is more than an enter tainment it Is a revelation. Not only do you get scene and story, but such singing as It Is Impossible to describe There is nothing like it before the pub lic to-day. For pure English, delicate harmony quaint humor, weird African song tbey are Incomparable. Every Item on the program is given with a spirit that at once catches tbe audience. The boys sing soprano, contralto and tenor. With Mr. Balmer's bass voice, a complete quartette is formed.
