The Marietta Journal says : “A good
thing for citizens of a town to remera
ber is that the men in it make the town
and not the towu that makes the men.
Some meu imagiue if they only lived
somewhere else they would do great
things. ‘-Try it where you are.”
Henry county’s exact population as
put down by the census returns is 16,-
602, and as this is over a thousand
short of what our citizens had beeu led
to expect, while a number of other
counties exceeded us, we do not get
the extra representative. Hence our
exploded hopes

Mr. Vera Harper is with us, and would be glad to have
his friends give him a call.
Will Walker ftliot.
While out bird hunting last Mon
day afternoon, Will Walker came near
lousing bis life by a load of shot from
the guu of Postmaster Cliff Tye, out
near Mr. Hamilton’s. They were
close together when a bird was ‘ flush
ed” and in the excitement Cliff, un
knowingly, fired directly in line with
Will’s head. As he did so Will for
tunately threw up his hand and dodged
down, which was all that saved him.
One shot entered the end of a finger,
lodging above the knuckle, and another
the forehead, ranging just under the
skiu to the top of the head, knocking
him flat on his back. Just an inch or
two lower and he would have received
the whole load full in the head. The
bird was shot into fragments, falling iu
Will’s face, and he says when he felt
it he thought it was his brains oozing
out. Mr. Henry Foster was at work
near by and turned away to keep from
seeing, as he thought, the fatal shot.
Both Will and Cliff were thorough
ly “skeered up”—and indeed it was a
close call. Will says Cliff said ho felt
liae getting down and praying, after
finding he wasn’t killed, but was
ashamed to.
This is Will’s second escape. Some
years ago he accidentally discharged
his gun while hunting with his father,
and the entire charge passed between
his arm and body, tearing a hole through
his coat and shirt without entering the
flesh.
Iticnnial Sessions.
Two bills have been introduced in
the legislature providing for biennial
sessiou of that body.
The movement for curtailing expen
ses on that line is a good one, and we
hope it will crystalize into a law.
We have never been able to see the
necessity for annual sessions of the
legislature. We have ample laws to
carry us along two years. We have
too much legislation.
Biennial sessions of 40 days each,
are amply sufficient to enact all the
laws we need for a long time, and we
hope the bill will become a law.—Cov
ington Star.

■>r. Aor Hi Hurt.
Dr. A, G. North, who was to haves
beeuMn McDonough this week to beght
his residence here, failed to arrive o»
account of a painful accident, in whieki
he had a miraculous escape Irom death. .
From a private letter we learn that
he was run over by a Central ro«t
train at the Sanitarium last Friday
night, being thrown head first under
the car, but in some way succeeded m
getting out with the exception of hav
ing oue foot caught. This was badly
mashed and be lost one toe, and
though he is getting along well so fa***
it is not known yet what the final r&-
sclt will be.
His friends here sympatb : ze with him
in his misfortune, and trust he may
soou be able to get here, but the doc
tor says it will be some time yet be
fore he can walk.
