Mr. Moses D. Lewis of Durham announces for assessor. He is an old citizen and one of the best men in the county. He is extensively known in his section and where known he is esteemed second to none. We commend him to those who have not the pleasure of his acquaintance as an upright man, a man who never betrayed a trust or violated an obligation. He would make a conscientious, faithful and efficient assessor.

Moses Lewis, an old citizen of Washington County, was severely injured Saturday when coming to town in his wagon. On approaching the trestle which crosses the Farmington road he urged his team forward for fear that a train might pass and scare them. The wagon wheel caught on one of the piers and one of the animals became frightened overturning the wagon and throwing Mr. Lewis to the ground. When he got up he complained of being hurt but thought it was nothing serious. He came to town and incidentally mentioned his injuries to a doctor, who discovered on examination that he had sustained a fracture of the hip bone above the hip joint. This kind of fracture is seldom known to get well and often makes the patient an invalid for life. We are glad to learn that Mr. Lewis is doing very nicely at the present date.
