The two-year-old daughter of and Mrs. Jdhn Akers, who reside on the C. P. Moody farm, was seriously injured Monday forenoon as a result of playing with matches. The child was sitting on the floor and handling the matches, which became ignited and the little one's clothing caught fire. Before the flames could be extinguished the face, arms and body were badly burned. Dr. Gwin, the attending physician, believes the little one will live. .
