The Patton Water company is mak- ing arrangements to put in a pamping station to supply the demand for the increasing population of Patten A "crew of men have been testing the supply on the east and west side of Chest creek and have decided to place. the station aboht a quarter of a mile south of town on the east side, seventy feet from the ever Sowing stream, opposite the Beech Creek repair shops. The machinery has been shipped and is expected to arrive at any time when it will be placed and be put in operation before many weeks.

The suddenness of the stop threw both the engineer and firemen from the engine and they escaped injury. The con. ductor and brakeman were bruised and cut about the face. Several passengers’ who were on the train were badly shaken up. It is said the switch was left open on purpose, and that railroad detectives are on the lookoui for the i Will Lianch Their Boat. - Benjamin Franklin Wise and Lincoln Sheridan Bell, two of Patton's promi- nent citizens have been very busy of late looking after the construction of a beautiful boat which they expect to lagnch in Chest creek in a few days The ‘“‘yacht”- will be christened after a very impressive ceremony at the Lo sh Fourth zvenue wharf.
