B, Leonard had a young horse that he raised to become very peculiarly affected last week. His wagoner, Floyd Johnson, was driving this young horse with an other to a two-horse wagon.

From the fetlock joints down the leaders or muscles of his legs wereas*perfect- ly useless as is they were paralized or entirely broken.

Our brother, J. N. Adkins, an other land mark in Dooly has pass ed to the golden shore on the other side of the river of death. Born July 17th 1830, he died March 20th 1893. Brother Adkins lived 4J miles south of Vienna for 16 years. He was a member of Bethel Mission ary Baptist church since 1887 and had been Clerk of the same for 4 years. His life and work was that of a conscientious christain gen tleman, a good neighbor and a strong allianceinan. There has been a regular weekly prayermeeting in his neighborhood for the past year, upon which he was a regular and prompt atten dant, always requesting the prayers of Christian people for himself and family. This prayermeeting sustains the loss of one of its most active members, he having led the first meeting, but our loss is his eternal gain. We tender our sympathy and prayers in behalf of the bereaved wife and children who have lost a loving father and a tender hus band. He can come to them no more but may the Father of all love tenderly lead them to him. “The Lord giveth and the Lord talketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” The Vienna Progress will please print this and send a copy to _the bereaved family.

I have bought a very complete line of every thing usually kept in a first class Drugstore and feel sure I can make it to the advantage of every one needing Drugs to trade with me.

We believe all of our citizens will concede the point thatwe need better water and a good system o~l waterworks to distribute^ it ovej town and make a good tire prot tion. Waterworks with sufficie pressure brought to bear by meal of a tower and a few hundred f<T of hose would give us all the til protection we need. At the time the bonds were ed on there was some question to where to sink the well—whetl| down town in the park or the hill. J It seen^ to us that It* woluc entirely immateral where the is placed. It certainly makes difference whatever with Place it where you will, to get thd required amount of pressure for fire protection a tower will have to be built and the water forced in it with a pump. Therefore it seems to us that it would be a better plan 1 to place it all down on the side of I swamp where it will be out of the ( way and then build fountains andj^Jj hydrants whereverjnecessary. But before these bonds are sold and this work can commence a bill must be passed by the legislat ure allowing our town authorities to levy* a tax for this specific pur pose. The Progress mentions the myt^ ter now thut our citizens iWf* 6 — think and talk over the matter'. If they are not satisfied that the election held some months ago voices the minds of the people now, then, have another election this summer and if the people say is sue the bonds, then, have a bill to- that effect put through the Octo ber session of the legislature, levy the tax, sell the bonds and go to work. We confidently believe all this should, can and will be done. What say you? LOOK OUT! For the Racket Sign. Fonr States In One Day. New Millinery connected, cheapest Hats in town.
