On last Monday, two little sons of Green STOKER were playing
in the yard and one of them remarked that he wanted some water,
and went to the well to get it. The well is twenty-three feet
deep in water. By some means one of the little boys fell in the
well; but in falling carried a piece of plank with him. His
brother raised the alarm, which brought their mother to the
well. When she arrived at the well, she let down the bucket and
the little boy caught hold of the rope and she drew him up, but
when he had neared the top of the well his hold gave way and he
fell back into the well. His mother then procured another rope
the fastened it and went down in the well some ten feet, when
her baby who was near the top of the well began to cry, she got
out to quiet it, and she sent her oldest son to Mr. Jett�s, who
lives near by; there being no one at home at Mr. JETT�s but his
son Fayette, who is about 17 years old, he went to assist them.
Arriving at the well, he fastened the bucket to the rope and
Mrs. STOKER let him down to the water, and he caught hold of the
little boy and brought him out. Fortunately for the little boy,
the piece of plank that fell with him was large enough to float
him, thus saving him from a watery grave. The little boy was not

Obituary
Frances CASHON, wife of A. J. CASHON, died
at the residence of
her husband, on the 8th inst. For near half
a century she had
been the wife of Mr. A. J. CASHON, and was
the mother of Drs.
P.A. and J. F. CASHON, of this county. She
had long been a
consistent and devoted member of the C. P.
Church. She was a
christian lady in every sense of the word,
and was for many
years a shining light among her aquaintances,
setting many
pious examples of christian fortitude and
charity before those
who knew her. She was ever ready to lend a
helping hand to the
afflicted and needy. She reared a family of
dutiful sons and
daughters who were very devoted to her, and
by her christian
examples and motherly kindness, she learned
them in early life
to love and respect her, and they were more
than ordinarily
devoted to her. Surrounded by her aged husband
and her children,
she passed away. She paid the debt that all
must sooner or later
pay. In early life she turned to her Maker
and she and trusted
in him, and he has carried her safely over
that dark river to
join friends who had left her in the sweet
long ago to praises
to Him in whom she trusted, through ages to
come. To her aged
husband who has lost his all, we can offer
but one consolation
that his loss will be her gain, and after
he has finished his
sojourn here he will join her in that clime
where sickness and
death are no more, and where sorrow and despair
do not enter.
