Young Carl Timberlake fired at the birds without taking any special notice as to where his cousin was standing, with the re sult that he put the entire load in the head of Guy. The boys are both about fifteen years old, and the city CQusin had gone" out for a days hunt. Dr, Coleman was speedily summoned and looked after the wounded boy. He was carried to the Watt's hospital, where we learn he is doing as as could be expected, Congress Formally Convene i .

There was a family row near Lyndover on Monday which may prove serious, From the news we got of the affair it seems that the Gates children -got into a fight and the matter was reported to the father of one of the factions; Mr. Thos. Gates, when he went to investigate, with the result that he shot his newDhew, El more Gates. Dr. Gentry, of Helena, was called and managed to pick quite a number of the shot out of the face and body of the young man. The shot being small it is hoped the wound will not prove serious.

Mrs. Burch will, vith the aid of her two charming daugh ters Misses Ila and Ruth; no doubt make tnis a good business success. ; I undersiand that Mr. Scl O'Briant was an all day visitor at Mr. James Burch's last Sunday. Don't know what his business success was, but Mrs. Burch boards a school marm and I sup pose that school teachers, like all other proffessionals, like each others company. So guess that accounts for his being there. Mr. O'Briant could learn lots of these little girl teachers how to improve their schools; as he is no doubt one of the best teachers in the County, Our one time neighbor and friend, Mrs. Jennie May Hughers who moved to Asheville last Spring on account of bad health has" been back on a visit, she says she feels a whole lot better. We something that will From Alle nope she may fail regain her health. Miss Myrtle Pooi heads the list on raising turkeys, having sold YarbrQugh & Sen, at Aliens-1 ville, 31 turkeys for Thanksgiv ing for $3545, Miss Myrtle is a most beauti ful girl and her success in the turkey business goes to show that she will succeed at any thing she-may undertake, so boys keep your eyes on Miss Myrtle.
