Mrs. George Hammond was" quite siok a few days last week with neuralgia of the stomach. vtf&i '-.t Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lord visited a nnrnber of days last week with the latter's parents Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, at Brian Hill. The K. O. T. M. are papering and painting over their hall at Whittaker's Corners, with the assistance of the L. O. T. M. The severe wind storm of Sept. 16 did considerable damage to trees and corn. The corn is in a very bad condition to harvest, nearly all of it lying on the gronnd. Jack Frost visited us in earnest last Monday night. It's a little too soon for some. But very few have corn out of the way. Late potatoes took a sudden ripening. On Saturday of last week Milo Hammond, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hammond, went to Ypsilanti to have some teeth extracted, which was aocomplished. One was an eye tooth and the otber a doublé tooth next to it. It commenoed bleeding when he lefc Ypsilanti about 2 o'olock and bied all the way home, a distanoe of seven miles. Everything was done te stop the flow of blood withuot suocess. Medicine was procured from Dr. Post whioh he snpposed would be efficacious, bnt it was not snccessfnl. About 2 o'olock Sunday morning Dr. Post arrived and sooceeded in stopping and closing the artery, whioh would spurt the blood into tbs ruonth at every palsation of the heart. Milo is able to be out again now. Mr. and Mrs. Emery Stowell, of Dnndee, were called Saturday to the death bed of a Mr. Warren near New Boston. They stayed with him until he died Sunday and after taking tea at Geo. N. Hammond's, of Willis, left for home. Half a mile from Mr. Hammond's house the horses took fright at a bicycle ridden by a young fellow and one horse tried to go forward while the other tried to go baokward. The result was the leather etraps whioh held the tongue of the oarriage up were broken and the tongue dropped under a plank in the bridge at the point where the accident happened and was broken short off, a long sliver from it flying backward and grazing Mr. StowelPs leg after passing through the dashboard and eight thickoesses of a woolen blanket,so great was its force. The team soou cleared themselves of the carriage and it was landed on top of Mbi and Mrs. Stowell in a very deep dilch. Both were badly bruised and out up, partioularly Mrs. Stowell, who is a woman of 240 pounds weight. The bioyoler who oaused the acoideut did not stay arouud to see what damage he had done.
