potatoes in the morning and as the spade was very dull when he went home to
dinner he sharpened it and started out to the garden with the spade and a heavy
iron bar thrown across his shoulder. The bar was heavy and hurt his arm so he
shifted it from one shoulder to the other, but in so doing the spade fell, and
severed the little toe completely from the foot. The Doctors Farrish treated and
cared for the injured foot. -Sherburn Advance-Standard.
