They ran around the square two or three times, the horse at times coming very near the pony. Fred sat gallantly in his saddle the whole time, hollowing to the crowd to save his colt. GEORGE NOWLIN finally succeeded in catching the pony and took Fred off, who was by time considerably frightened. Quite a crowd had gathered before the scene ended.

A Thrilling Incident
Several days ago, MRS. T. R. GODDARD of near Idlewild, a small station six miles north of here on the I. C. Railroad, missed her two little children, saw them playing on the track, at the same time, she heard the rumbling of a coming train. She started on a run for the children, but at the whistle of the engine, she became almost paralyzed with fear, and through the fright and exhaustion, dropped in a faint beside the truck. In the meantime, one of the children had left the track, while the other one kept on. The engineer saw the danger, but he was powerless to stop the train. The train dashed on the fainting mother, on to the little fellow. The train ran about 50 yards after it struck the child before it stopped. Instead of finding the child all mangled and torn, he was found with his arm wedged in between the bars of the cowcatcher, safe and sound, with the exception of having one arm dislocated. It was a very remarkable escape. Printed in the Milam Exchange.

Our community has once more been visited by the death angel. It came May 7 and claimed for its victim, one of our best, loved flowers--MRS. BETTIE JONES--a good wife and loving mother. Mrs. Jones was about 44 years of age. She professed faith in Christ about 10 years ago, and from which time, she has lived a good and Christian life.

She leaves behind a husband, 12 children and a host of friends and relatives who will greatly mourn her death, but we have the assurance that she was called from this world of sin and woe to a brighter world above, where Christ and the angels sing songs of everlasting praise. Funeral services were held by REV. J. A. KEATON after which her remains were quietly laid to rest in Pisgah cemetery.

Grand Jury Report
To W. H. SWIGGART, Judge of the Honorable Circuit Court of Carroll County
We, the undersigned grand jurors of the May term of said court, 1891 beg leave to submit the following report to wit� We have visited and examined the county jail and find the same splendidly kept and in good condition, except one cell, which is without lock and key, and we hereby recommend that a lock be placed on said door. The prisoners are, to all appearance, well cared and satisfied with their treatment. We have also visited the county asylum and find it contains 26 inmates, who seem to be well cared for, receiving all the attention possible under the circumstances. We found 5 good cows, plenty of corn, meat and other provisions necessary to supply all demands. We believe that the county has an efficient and conscientious officer in the person of PRICE BARNETT, the superintendent, who with his assistants, does all in his power to give the inmates that treatment and attention due them from the county�

She was a devoted mother, a kind friend to those in need, and her acts of kindness to the unfortunates with whom she was thrown--her husband being superintendent of the county poor house--will ever be treasured to her memory. Her death is a sad bereavement to her husband and little children, one of whom is only about 10 days old, but they have the sympathy of a large circle of friends and relatives. Her burial took place last Wednesday afternoon at the NEELY burying ground. The Democrat extends its sympathy and condolences to the bereaved family.

A Sad Death
One of the saddest deaths it has been our lot to chronicle for some time is that of DUDLEY H. PRITCHARD, who breathed his last Thursday night of last week at the home of his uncle, JOSIAH ANDERSON.

The pistol failing to fire, he picked up a stick and knocked Calaham down, who then started to run. In the scuffle Hawks' pistol was accidentally discharged but no one was hurt. As both parties are good citizens, it is to be hoped their differences may be settled without further trouble.

D. L. HARRIS of Flintsville brought to our office last Thursday which, he thinks, contains some gold, says the Fayetteville Sun. It is charged with a glittering substance which much resembles gold. He had it tested and it proved to be the precious metal. He says there is an abundance of it on his farm.

The Crossville Sentinel, it is known, it is not given to lying and the following may be regarded as a Cumberland mountain truth. Says the Sentinel: ROWE HYDER killed five wild turkeys at one shot with a Winchester rifle Sunday. The turkeys were standing in a line and the ball took effect in the head or neck of each and not one was left to tell the tale.

An old Negro man brought to Clarksville Wednesday from the Dover road country a basket of well matured figs. They were as fine as those grown in Florida and there quickly disposed of at a good price. This is the second basket the old man has gathered from one tree, and he says that next year he will have four trees bearing figs. He covers them up in cold weather to prevent from being killed.

A little daughter of CLARENCE BROWN in Grassy Cove had a miraculous escape from death a few days ago says the Crossville Sentinel. She was barefooted and her foot slipped through a crack in the portico when a copperhead snake grabbed her toe and attempted to swallow it. The child drew the foot from the crack, pulling snake out, still hanging to her toe. The reptile's head was cut off, when it was found the child was uninjured.

Last Monday says the Fayetteville Observer, W. L. KILPATRIC (KILPATRICK) was in to see us and related a bee story that he vouches for the truth. Last week he was at the house and knows it to be true. SHOOK HANDLEY, who lives near Bevedere in Franklin County, has a large two story frame house. It was built many years ago and the timbers in it are much larger than those used now. The stud are two feet apart so there is considerable space between the weatherboarding and ceiling. Several years ago a swarm of these bees found a crack at the side of the chimney and went in and stayed. They have never swarmed but the young have remained until the colony consists of countless thousands. Last week, they were robbed for the first time, 130 pounds of honey taken out, and it thought that much more than that quantity yet remains. From the humming of the bees that is now heard through the ceiling, it is concluded that the honey extends from the floor to a height of eight feet

Obituary
INEZ (THOMAS) BERRYHILLD was born near McKenzie, Tennessee October 18, 1868. She professed religion and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Weatherford, Texas while attending school there. She was then about 14 years old. When she returned home, she joined the C. P. church at McKenzie. On Feb. 23, 1887, she was married to J. WALTER BERRYHILLD. After her marriage, she joined the Presbyterian church with her husband. In which communion, she lived a consistent member until death called her away which was June 11, 1891.

Inez was a good girl from her childhood. She was quiet and gentle in disposition and in deportment.

While she never intruded herself on anyone, yet she was a loving and true friend.

She left in this world, her husband, two children (one having gone before), her father and mother, and several brothers and sisters. She was called away from a large circle of relatives, highly respected in the communities where they lived.

Sister Inez was taken away young still she filled her station well in life while on earth. She was a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and a good Christian.

May God watch over all her loved ones, husband, parents, brothers and sisters, but in a special way, her little children. And may all meet her in Heaven. Written by a friend.

A Notable Event

Yesterday evening at 7:00 at the M. E. Church South, the rites of matrimony were
solemnized between CAPT. W. H. EASON and MISS JOELLA NEWTON. The marital vows
were taken in the presence of a large number of friends, the ceremony being
performed by the pastor, REV. MEADOWS. The affair was a quiet nature, there
being no effort at display, and after the vows had been taken, the contracting
parties and a few special friends repaired to the Eason house where a pleasant
evening was spent.

The groom and bride are well known to the readers of the Democrat. Capt. Eason
is the genial and accommodating proprietor of the Eason House, a gentleman of
high standing among our people and who numbers his friends by the hundreds. He
is worthy of the confidence and love of the one, who by this union, has
intrusted her hand and heart to his protection. Miss Joella is a young lady of
sweet disposition and possesses so many admirable qualities that to know her is
to admire her. She possesses many of those beautiful traits of character which
adorn a home, and makes all who come under influence happier and better. It is a
splendid union and the Democrat takes great pleasure in extending its most
hearty congratulations, and wishes for them a happy and prosperous life.
