his many tried and true friends in this county.

--John A. BAIAR is confined at home with measles.
--Mrs. T.C. WATKINS has been quite sick this week with fever, but is improving
at present.
--Mrs. Elizabeth SINKS is quite low with some disease of the throat.
--A serious accident resulted in the death of Marion MAXEY which occurred near
here a few days ago. Mr. MAXEY while cutting his clover with a mowing machine
slipped and got his foot caught in the gearing of the machine which crushed
his heel, making what doctors considered a painful but not dangerous wound. On
Saturday night erysipelas set in and rapidly extended up his leg and into the
body, producing death in  about 20 hours. The loss of Mr. MAXEY will be deeply
felt by the community in which he lived, as he was one of the leading farmers,
a man of enterprise and ability and possessed a great spirit of improvement
and go ahead.
--Mr. John POWELL is confined to his home with bilious attack.
