Death of Col. Yonng.
On Iasi Monday morning, Colonel
John M Young, a pioneer resident of
this community passed away into the
great beyond. Col. Young was probably
better known in this section ot the
country than any other of the old resi
dents, and his illness,which has been ot
several years’ duration, has made in
terest in him doubly intensilied, and his
passing away has caused regret in
many hearts as his was a nature that
made hosts of friends and a comrade
ship among his acquaintances lasting
and strong. The funeral oecured from
the Baptist church on Tuesday, Rev.
Wold delivering the address, the church
being crowded with friends and school
children, with whom he was a great
favorite, attending in a body, after
which the he was lam to rest in Ever
green cemetery. Mrs. Young and fam
ily request us to extend their heartfelt
thanks to those who so kindly helped to
make his last days more pleasant and
who gave their assistance and kindly
offices to the list.

Nearly Fatal Accident.
L ist Saturday afternoon, little Harriet
infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. dim
Gallo wav, got hold of a bottle of tur
pentine, in the abscence of her mother
from the room, and swallowed a quan
tity of thestuff. In a tnco, her screams
brought her mother, who could tell bv
tne smell what the babv had taken, and
antidotes were administered and in n
few hours she had tullv recovered,
though for a lime her life wras despair
ed of by thegrief-striken parents. The
baby bad secured the bottle by climb
ing on a chair and reaching up into
the cupboard where she had seen her
mother plrce medicine vials, and as
she had been taking medicine for a
cold, which had a pleasant rinvor, it is
thought she concluded to help herself
and had secured the wrong bottle.
