of his knowledge. "Uncle J'immie"
as he was familiarly called had a
proud spirit and lofty ambition
and he felt keenly the bars of his

affliction. He felt that "iron bars
do. not a prison make" and he was
still "captain of his soul".

An Amusing Incident."
There happened in amusing ac- ;y
cident a few miles East of town on.;
last Thursday night. , Mrl T. J.
Hatchett, with two of his friends :
and a colored man, had been to yi;,,
Oxford and in returning home Mr.
Hatchett 's machine got away .rom" V"
him, ruuning down the hill just'. :,V
this side of Mr. Hugh W6ods' ,Vj ;r
home All who have ever traveled "Vv
this road will not be surprised at'
his losing control of the machine -for
this is a very steep hill. The;;V.V
brakes on the machine - refused ta '--ly
work and the car defied all speed 4 V: .;.
laws and shot down the hill at a
tremendous speed, and in attempt- ,. -
ing to take the curve in the hill C ,
went over against an embankment,
throwing the occupants all to the .
ground. Now the amusing . part: ,:!".
Mr. Hatchett was soon on his feet ;
and hearing the groans of one of , 'L?
the gentlemen went to him and in-:' -quired
what was the trouble, and ;. '
was informed by the party - from ?
whom the groans eminated that
he was almost killed, that his back , . .
was broken, etc. He was persnad- , "
ed to make an effort to stand-up, . ' , .
and after getting him 'On his feet : '
it was round tnat his back was.
not broken, and he was able to . ;l j
walk home, a distance of about ; ;
two miles.
The other gentlemen 3Hva$r' then ;
looked after, and he too; ywas do- f ;
ing his part of the groanmg stat-
ing.that he was dying, that he
could feel the blood trickling down
his back from a wound in the-: . ;
head, but upon investigation, it
was found that there was notven";
a wound. ? . . 4
Mr. Hatchett says tbemost S;J "
amusing iraing of' it all was when, ? :
the negro called him to come $nd : - '
get the car off of him, and upon
investigation it was found that he -" j
was safely fastened down witlrone . ; ' ,
of the automobile cushions. If you .':
want to enjoy a real treat just get
Mr. Hatchett to tell you about this - .
wreck. A
Notice I will give $3 cash
