DEATH OF N. M. WILLIAMSON
Called Last Week After a Long Illness From Cancer of the Face.

N. M. Williamson, after a long illness from cancer of the face, died at his
fine county home on the old Benedict farm, northwest of the village, last
Thursday. Deceased was in the 57th year of his age and was a good
citizen. He
leaves his widow and several children. He was the father of Harry Wiliamson,
who is employed as a clerk in Rathurn's store: Barbara who married Homer
Stansbury a year or so ago, and Blanche, who teaches school at Grass Run. The
other children at home. Winnie, Effie, Alice and Gertrude. The burial took
place Saturday afternoon from the home. The Miles cemetery.

UNDRESSED PARADE
Mrs. Ida Moore, a denizen of Rowdy Row, was before police judge Watson
Monday on the charge of drunkenness disorderly conduct and using
obscene language.
One of the charges against her was that she paraded up and down the street
in fewer cloths than Mother Eve wore away back in the days when clothes did
not count for much. This accusation the accused denied with great vehemence.
She stoutly adhered to the claim that she had on a corset and neck ribbon.

The judge, who is somewhat inclined to be worldly and has seen considerable
of life, thought she should even wear more clothing than that when out on the
streets in this climate, at any rate, and fined her five dollars on one
charge, ten on another, the costs in both cases, and sent her to the
county jail,
where they heat the premises by a furnace.

DOG POISONER ACTIVE
The mad dog scare over in Bedford township has alarmed some one here and he
has set out to exterminate the dog race here. They go by the poison route.
Within the past few day L. J. Heiner lost two dogs, David Reese one and John
McFarland had his fine Collie poisoned, but rushed it to the Lasher hospital
in time to save it. Austin Barton reached his with first-aid-to the poisoned
in time to save it.

MINERS LEASE MINE
A bunch of miners have leased the old No. 1 Maynard Mine and will get out
what coal is left there, some five acres. It is said that the Maynard company
will accept the coal when loaded on flats and market it for the leasees. It
will take several weeks to clean up the mine ready to get out coal. They
began work Monday. Among those leasing the works we are furnished
the following
names; Alex Smith, Alex Steele, Alpha Plummer, Della and Ella Luckadoo,
Andy Wright, Watt Hysell, Sam and Munce Pond and George Church.

AN AUTO SPILL
There was a pretty lively auto spill down on the pike Sunday. Eli Hysell
was driving Dayton Russell's car when it went over whip-whop and landed bottom
side up against a hedge fence. The damage was limited to a broken
windshield. The driver came out with a slightly scratched face.
That was all.
