A Runaway Team.
The drivers of a couple of teams,
the wagons of which were loaded with
lumber, left them in front of L. Ba
ker’s lumber yard Mond. y. Some
tm- s shot off a firecracker and the
mules began to run away. When they
reached Limestone street they turned
toward the court house. The lead
mules of the second team did not
want to run so they turned is if to
go back to the lumber yard. The re
sult was a general mixup of mules on
the ground, three of them being down
at one time. Fortunately no serious
damage was done, although it looked
for a time as if one of the mules
could not escape without a broken
leg. as be got mixed up in the front
wheel of the wagon.
Tiie team was the property of H. I).

features of the holidays. A very able,
instructive and entertaining address
was made by Dr. R. T. Liston, Rev. S.
B Harper offered the petition. The ex

ing match, in which Lizzie Gaffney
carried off the honors, and songs am 1
recitations. The chi dren acquitted
themselves with credit, which reflect
ed the earnest attention given them
by their teacher. Rev. W. E. Crocn-er

Herman Corry spent Christmas in
Ive,! and will probably spend New
1 Y ;u\s there. He runs <>n the South
j ern. as a liagman. Saturday night
he' came home for Christmas. He
j not on a freight train that was stand
it.g in the yard, and being tired from
overwork and loss of sleep, dropped
off to sle p. The train started off
and Herman awoke, finding himself
being borne toward Blacksburg.
When he got opposite the Gaffney
Manufacturing Company he jumped
off. In some unexplainable manner
his left foot was caught and so badly
mashed that it was necessary to
amputate two toes. When he was in
formed that tlie toes were taken off
he replied: “Well, I don t care. They
have been hurting me for two years
with ingrowing nails, so I guess they
won't bother me any more.”
