Alford - Claude Titus, of Alford, had a narrow escape yesterday. He was getting out ice at the ice house just this side of the L&M trestle, when the slipping of the ice tongs from a large cake of ice, precipitated him backward and he fell from the platform and struck directly upon the track about 15 ft. beneath. Almost at the same instant he heard the engine whistle for Alford station and barely had time to roll from the track when the train whizzed past him. By the fall one ankle was considerably injured.

Thompson - At about this time last year Mrs. Will Tucker made a four gallon jar full of green tomato pickles and left them standing at the head of the outside cellar stairs for her husband to carry down. Some time after going down cellar to get some of them for the table, she found them gone, jar and all. Mrs. Tucker never found a trace of them until one morning last week, upon going out of doors, she found the empty jar sitting on the walk, ready to be again filled. Now Mrs. Tucker, being a kind and accommodating neighbor, and wishing to have everything just right, wishes to be informed through the columns of this paper if the pickles were all right, if the one that took them and so kindly returned the jar, will tell her if they were seasoned and spiced just to suit their taste, she will fill them another jar.
