Sunday a week ago at the reei - de nee of Mr John MeCoinick Mr Thomas Newberry and Miss Julia Knight were united in bonds of holy wedlock, we hope the young ccuple a voyage of happiness over the sea oi life. The little village of Lucile is shrouded in mourning owing to fire originsting in the store of Roberts & Roberts on last Wed nesday night, consuming that store and also the store of Houston Bros. Dr Chas. Bueb kept hia drugs in the store of Ruberts & Robeits and they were a total hies. Roberts & Roberts were partially insured. Houston Bros, carried no in surance butth&y laved most ofj thr.r goods. , —,,.-4 store of Houston Bros aud they were all saved. We regret very much the futnre prospects of this prosperous litiie village alter .AND TORN OFF tiuturday morning about 10 o’ekck ou Spring Creek several miles be low V\ bite’s Bridge Mr Marion Grimes, more familiarly known as j “Buddie” Grimes had bis right band torn away. After the painful accident the yonug gentleman bad a suspender cut from bis shouldtr split open and bis arm tightly bandaged. He had bis fathers mule and buggy at the creek, and be pro cured the services of aoolojedman • to drive him here, to the home of bis parents. Air and Mrs W. J. Grimes- Tbe vehicle containing the Miffer <r wis driven up to t' fi bun e ot A r Grimes al>ou* 2 o’clock P. M. about fotr Lours after the accident. Ptiysicaus, Drs Cook Hays and Dr. 0. B Bush dressed the wound. The young gentleman we hear refuses to tt 11 the particulars of the painful accident, but it is inferred by bis being so reticent that an ex- 1 plosion of dynamite tore off the i member. The loss of his right baud is deeply deplored by all wrio know yoang Mr Grimes. Men who have recklifc*ly and almost openly violated theiiw in killing fish with dynamite are charged by thoughtful men with being partly responsible for young Mr Grimes having to go through life without the use of his right hand. The young man never had the ! example set by bis father for Mr. Jeff Grimes’ acquaintances an well aware that he has always op posed the use of dynamite in kill | ing fish. b ving been blighted thus. At t e completion ts the Blakely tS juthern the future was looking bright. It lies been nipped in the bud of its infancy. Opnions differ a■ to the origen of the fire, some t link that it was set on fire by r its with tnatches between the wall and ceiling, while some think it is the work of an incendiary.
