Luther Hemphill Suffers Slight Stroke of Paralysis.

Luther Hemphill, for many years engaged in the blacksmithing business and the inventor and manufacturer of the well-known horse stocks bearing.’his name, suffered a light stroke of paralysis this Wednesday morning at his home at the east edge of town. When he fivst got up he was feeling badly and could not dress himself. He had been feeling about in his usual health except for a- cold, which had bothered him for two or three days. He had been up only a short time when the stroke came, affecting the right side of his body and the left side of his head, including his tongue, and leaving him practically speechless. The stroke does not seem very severe and his physician has hopes that he will improve a great deal. He is about 64 years of age.
