Considerable excitement was caused at the F. M. Rollins home last
Friday. On entering the house Mr. Rollins smelled smoke and burning
cloth and opening the door of a bedroom it was found to be all ablaze.
Only quick work saved the whole house. The fire was started by one of
the members of the family, by lighting a match to find something in the
clothes room. The room was damaged considerable.

What might have proved a serious accident happened while Mr. and Mrs.
Frank March were going to Leeds last Thursday morning. The horse they
were driving stumbled and fell breaking the harness and becoming
frightened started to run, throwing out Mr. March but leaving Mrs. March
helpless in the buggy. With the lines dragging the horse ran about a
mile on the Floyd road until it came to a wagon where men were working
on the road and crashed into the wagon, throwing Mrs. March to the
ground and bruising her considerably. They were lucky to escape as they
did.

Some time ago a young married woman of our town whose name we omit, made
a curious blunder. She put some eggs on to boil soon after breakfast one
morning. They were still on when her husband came home at dinner time.
Upon his asking what was in the saucepan she answered. Eggs for your
dinner. They have been on since soon after breakfast. I have tried them
with a fork and they are not boiled yet. His astonishment may rather be
better imagined than described. And the mere mention of eggs now brings
a rosy blush to her face.

admiration and esteem. Her death is a severe shock to her relatives.
