Miss Eva
Renfro Paralyzed.
This morning,
Miss Eva Renfro, who resides at the home of her father, some three or
four miles Southeast of this city, in the Greenwood neighborhood, was
suddenly stricken with paralysis. For a year past the young lady has been
suffering with heart disease, of a sever type, and her paralysis was not
looked for. She has completely lost the use of her muscles. A physician
was called in and all the aid medical attention could give was bestowed.
We trust she may recover, though the chances are decidedly against hone.
Hand Badly Mashed.
While Miss
Maggie Kister, of this city, was engaged in running one of the looms at
the woolen mill a day or two since, she had the misfortune to have her
right hand caught in the loom and badly mashed. The wound was dressed,
and she now, we are glad to say, suffers less pain than she did shortly
after the accident.

son of Wm. H. Digges, formerly a resident of bowling Green: "About
5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as little Robert Digges, the sone of
Wm. H. Digges, of the firm of Gathright & Co., was riding out Thirteenth
street on a Texas pony the animal become frightened at one of the floats
that had been used in the procession and started at a terrific pace in
the direction of Chestnut. Just as he reached the corner of Chestnut and
Thirteenth he "bucked" and hurled his young rider against the
curbstone. The boy was picked up in an unconscious state and carried into
Dr. Wiley Rogers' drug store. He lay there fully fifteen minutes "before
he showed signs of returning to consciousness. His face was horribly cut
and bruised, and it was found that he had sustained a contused wound above
the right ear. Dr. Rogers dressed the little sufferer's wounds and sent
him home on the corner of Tenth and Jefferson Streets. He was much improved
this morning."

Mr. A.S. Baker, who resides on Bear Creek, some four miles from here,
got his dwelling house and almost all of its contents burned to the ground,

his loss at $3,000. The fire was accidental.
Mr. I.M. Quisenberry's stock sale came off last Tuesday at his residence

and he could not let his stock sell at such trivial prices. Mr. S. H.
Hill, of your city, cried the sale and every person was well pleased with
him, while J.W. Duff handled the pencil as clerk, and the day was pleasantly
spent, notwithstanding such low prices for his stock.
A Dastardly
Deed.
Jackson
Cox, who lives some five miles out from Rockfield on the Clear Fork, was
the victim of a piece of meanness that is unparalleled almost, one night
last week. Mr. Cox is cropping for Mrs. James Marshal. On the night in
question he took his wife and went away to spend the night. When he returned
home next day he found that some one had entered the house during his
absence and had taken away absolutely everything of value that could be
carried off. Having done this the remaining articles in the house were
destroyed or rendered unfit for use. Cooking utensils were broken to pieces
and clothes were cut to pieces with knives. The loss is a severe one and
Mr. Cox is ill able to afford it. The depth of depravity shown is worthy
of summary, punishment. Few punishments are too sever for the miscreants
who would be guilty of the action. We hope the guilty ones will be apprehended.
