Thomasville – Thomas, the younger son of Mr. Frank KINDLEY, of Holly Grove, was seriously burned with gunpowder last week. When he went home from school at dinner to attend the stock, he attempted to fire his gun, but falling to make it go off, he drew the load and threw the powder into the fire. It at once flashed and burned him severely.
