FOOT CUT OFF One of Harvey KELLY’s sons had the misfortune to cut his foot off yesterday while chopping on a log. By some means his foot slipped as he was standing on the log, and the axe struck it with a heavy blow, severing it. The boy is almost grown, and has been an excellent farm hand on his father’s farm. Osborne FARMER and William STONES daughter eloped from her father’s the other night, the “old man” being adverse to the match. They soon found it impossible to procure marriage license here without permission from the girl’s parents. It is thought they will probably go to Bristol or to some other point in Tennessee. The girl is about “sweet sixteen”, as pretty as a picture, and is worth all the trouble she is likely to cost.
