The hay shipped here was con signed to the Orr-Smith Grocery Company, and is the prettiest lot of hay ever seen here. Mr. Mc- Ree is proud of tho excellent quality of tho hay raised, and took pride in showing the hay to some of his friends.

Last Monday morning while M. Newman’s porter was deliver ing groceries on Harris street, the horse became frightened and pro ceeded to run. When the horse started it pitch ed the negro down between the front axle and tho cross piece of the shaft where he was held sus pended with the horse going at a rapid rate. Several bystanders thought that he would surely be killed but by a streak of “nigger- luck” he escaped without a scratch. No damage was done to the team.
