marble base, which weighed
about five hundred pounds,
when it slipped off the skid
and fell on his right leg, badly
bruising it, but fortunately, no
bones were broken. The slab
fell about three feet, and it is

ivho lives in the neighborhood,

caught them at it.
Another report is that a spi
der caught a young chicken at
M. S. Lane's and the chicken
could not get away. Lane
heard it hollowing, and went to
its rescue. The spider or. what
ever it was .measured nearly
six 1
re
Improrements on the Brushies.

the Brusfiy Mountain Iron and
Lithia Springs, and he will do
his work well.
It is further understood that
arrangements are' about per
fected for the building of a
nice hotel there, and that work
will begin soon.
h The merits of its waters, its
accessibility, being about five
miles from the Wilkesboros and
the railroad; its beautiful seen

lightful breezes, destine this
