Layng, Main street, west, where it was found that a most lamentable accident had occurred. Mrs. Layng was alone in the house and Was engaged in quilting in an upper chamber when by some mishap the lamp was overturned. The escap- ing oil ignited, threatening the destruc- tion of the, building, and in her bravo efforts to extinguish the blaze the clothing of the unfortunate woman took lire. Her screams brought the assistance of a neighbor and she was speedily rescued from her perilous con« dition, but not before she was fright- hilly burned about her body and arms. . As the house was full of smoke. Mrs. Layng was home to the home of a neighbor, and later, when all danger from fire was passed, was conveyed back to her own home where she now lies in a very precarious condition. Deep sympathy is felt throughout the village. for the unfortunate woman, and all that medical skill and willing hearts and hands can do is being done to relic": her terrible sufferings. lam Concert.

It will be. ton years on the 22nd of May next since the first number of the Reporter was issued from a little. office on the corner of Mill and Church sis. of this village. In coming to the. vil- lago of Athens and investing in the plant necessary to run the business and cessfully, the present editor and propri- etor im'estod what little of this world's goods he possesed. It is said by old newspaper men that the. first ten years 1 the life of a country newspaper are the most. critical ones, and almost. daily during that time the query is liable to present itself to the proprietor as to whether it will live and flourish like a green bay tree, or die. for want of pro per nourishment. Our experience has not varied much from others similarly situated. We have had our ups and downs, our bright days and our blue. days. We have worked hard and do nied ourselves many hours of pleasure and recreation that we might give our patron“ a STUd’ nuwxydmlmr’ iind {rum 0/ It’IIL‘I’I'I/IN (I711 I'fJ'lnur-ll'lm‘rs' for (In the many kind cxpresuons received, are ' led to believe that we have. not failed entirely in that respect Outsiders my Vâ€"l that. Athens has a newapaper of which l many a larger town may well feel proud. And right here. we wish to acknowledge the kindly assistance we. have rcccivwl from the CiblZMll-l of Athens and Sill” rounding towns, villages, and country places, who have. so liberally patronized the Reporter and assisted us in making the paper as good as it is. And now to touch another phase of the subject Newspaper men. as a rule are not rich, and most emphatically we would say that we me no exception to the rule. Every dollar receivnd for the Reporter during those ten years has been absorb ed by the business. On the first. of Jan. last, we took stock of our sass-ta and liabilities and among other things found that. there was nearly 81,200 our due on subscriptionii alone, which amount we shall endeavor to Collect. during the next month or tsvo. Very much of the amount due. as is from par ties who have merely neglected the. matter, and who, if they stop to mu sider, will rinlize that (nu: or two dol- lars from each means considerable in the aggregate. where the number of (lelili quests is so large.
