His horse became fright- ^ ^ ened and bolted, and in trying to hold him, one of the stirrup leathers broke and he fell from his horse against a post and . broke his leg between the knee and ankle, h Rev. 8. P. Chisolm and Mr. Joe Beard h were near, and took Mr. Kearse in their buggy and carried him to Dr. Kirkland's, d where the leg was set and he was able to i E hp rpmnrfirt to his home the next day. | c The doctor found only one of the bones c broken, and while painful it is not as seri- v ous as was at first supposed. a The little child of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kinard, that was burned last week, is v doing as well as it did at first, and unless I , there is a speedy change little hoJ>e is en- C tertained of its recovery. The family has I our deepest sympathy in their trouble. I We were very sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Preston McMillan, of the t< Colston section. She was buried near the L< old McMillan home, where her husband a was bom and raised. She leaves a devoted v husband and several children to mourn her loss. We extend to them our sincere j "* and heartfelt sympathy in their severe 1 bereavement. Mr. Walter S. Eaves, brother of Mrs. v F. E. and D. C. Copeland and Mrs. J. R. " Carter, came very near being burned to il death at his home in Lee county last S week. He did not wake np nntil the whole house was in flames, and only had ^ time to escape in his night clothes. Mr. J. W. Barnes, of Cope, was here n y one day last week, horse trading with n Fv Capt. J. M. Dannelly. Come again, Mr. 0 >-Al - Barnes. Crops are doing fine. While they are c a little small, the prospect never seemed f, > brighter before than it does now, and if g we don't have some serious drawback n * later, there will be plenty of money in the p fall. i, The school closed last Thursday, after a a successful session of nine months. Prof. ^ k Folk has done some good work here, and a it is hoped that he will teach another ti term. What we need now is a school ^ building; the present structure is a disgrace to the town. There is plenty of > money here, and if some of the trustees * will only agitate the matter we feel sure that there will be no trouble in raising * funds to build a house that will meet the g requirements of the school district. n There is some talk of the railroad put- n ting on a Sunday train fron this place to ^ i Charleston and Savannah. k .
