The Glorious Fourth was spent Satur

would have been spent. * Mine Host
Stuart served the town with an anvil
chorus early in the morning, and at ir
regular intervals throughout the day
spasmodic rallies of patriotism would
vent themselves in artificial noise of
some kind. As a general rule, though,
people celebrated only in their minds.
Weather regulator, Thomas, could not
decide what sort of conditions would
please the most people, and so used the
day as an excuse to fly a neutral flag on
his serpent pole. If Satnrday was a
sample of star spangled weather, then
its not a bad sort for summer in general.'
Mr. L. Steyerman decorated his win
dow with nationafbnnting in honor of
the occasion, and in addition to this,sus
pended an immense United States flag
over the sidewalk at his comer. Smaller
emblems were displayed at intervals all
the way down Broad street.
As the light grew old the usual crowds
of the colored brother were in evidence
at their usual Satnrday night haunts.
The salutation of the day was, “how’d
you like to be the bank man,” or

that the storm was merely a warning of
what might be. The disturbance seems

One of the most sensational runaways
that Thomasville has been subjected to
in many days occurred about seven
a,’clock Satnrday evening.
Mr.R.C.Dickinson,with his niece,Miss
Fredonia Dickinson of Madison, Fla.,
was out. driving in a-light buggy behind
Mr. Dickinson’s blooded horse.
The couple had stopped in front of
Dr. McIntosh’s office on Broad street,
and Mr. Dickinson had lain down his
lines and gotten out of the buggy for a
few moments’ conversation with Dr.
McIntosh. •
Mr. Dickinson was holding the horse
by:the bridle when, for some unaccount
able reason, it became frightened' and
started up the street. Mr..Dickinson re
tained his grasp of the bridle in a vain
endeavor to-stop the animal, until it
shook him off and knocked him down,
cutting a severe gash in his scalp. In
stead of staying in the street, the horse
chose the sidewalk and started up in
front of Dr. Dekle’s office at breakneck
peed.
At this point, Mr. A. W. Palin, who
was walking past Dr. Dekle's with his
back to the scene of action, was
into without a moment’s warning. He
suffered severe braises on his hip and
shoulder, bnt the injuries were at
tended by the doctor and were found
not to be serious.
No one seems to know just what in
duced* the horse to pirefer the street
again, but just in front of T. D. Winn’s
store, where the curbing is good two
feet high it jumped off, still tearing up
Broad street; missing baggies and .pe
destrians by hair's breadths.
All this time Miss Dickinson had
kept her seat, and finally when cross
ing Jackson street managed to pick up
the reins from the bottom of the buggy.
It required on a block’s management of
these very necessary articles for
nervy young lady to stop
the whole affair. Instead of being
overcome by her narrow escape she
calmly got out of the buggy and walked
back down the street to inquire after ner
uncle. ’
Altogether, it was one of the most
brilliant examples of feminine nerve
ever seen even by “the oldest inhabi
tants.” Miss Dickinson is the guest of
her cousin, Mrs. Heeth Vamedoe.
