A serious wreck occurred d<5wn
at Ross on the Atlantic and Bir
mingham last Friday afternoon
about 4 o’clock with engine No. 1
which was coming towards Vienna.
Just how the accident happened
1) one seems to know. A suppo
[pion is, that the engine which
3is running backwards at a rate
of about twenty miles an hour,
vhen the engineer applied the air
Brakes, causing the tender to jump
up knocking them about and al
lowing the wood to fall on the
negro fireman and a brakeman,
and slightly brusing up Mr. Jones,
a telegraph lineman, who was on
the engine. The engineer never
received a scratch, but the fire
man had his legs broken in three
places and one was smashed to
such an extent below the knee
that amputation was - necessary,
which was performed here Satur
day afternoon by Drs. Bivins and
Mobley, the local surgeons of the
road. He is in a critical condition
and may not recover.
The negro brakeman had one
hand smashed and one knee cap
sprained. He was also treated by
the physicians.
The injured were brought to
this city Friday night. The wreck
caused the delay of all trains until
Sunday morning.
The Crump Park Stock Compa
ny opened a three nights engage
ment in this city Monday night to
excellent patronage. The perform
ance was way above the average
and thoroughly in variance to
numerous barnstorming attrac
tions that have visited our city.

tured artist and pleasing in speech

The specialties are the best and
most enjoyable ever witnessed upon
our stage. Especial mention is
due the Keeley sisters, two youug
and pretty girls possessing catchy
voices and nimble feet, and sang
and danced themselves into popu
lar favor. It was real danoing and
received vociferous applause' and
encores. Mr. Conquer and Miss
Keeley rendered a convulsing
sketch and brought down the
house. Other specialties were also
good.
As a whole the play Tracy, the
outlaw and the fine specialties
constituted ’ an unexpected and
exceptionally excellent evening
entertainment and the aggregatioh
should be rewarded with good
patronage.

The following dispatch from
Brunswick to the Atlanta News,
dated October 0th says: “The
Brunswick & Birmingham rail
road has purchased the Hawkins
ville & Florida Southern, and
General Manager Berry will leave
tonight to take charge of the
property tomorrow.
“It is the belief here that the
roads will be connected with a
three-mile extension between Ir-
winville aud Isaac,in Irwin county.
This purchase gives the system
105 miles of road.
“The Hawkinsville and Florida
Southern is 44 miles long is opera
ted between Hawkinsville and
Worth. An extension wn3 con
templated to Albany. The road
made connection at Worth with
the Georgia Southern & Florida,
at Pitts with the Seaboard Air
Line, and at Hawkinsville with
the Southern rail way, Wrightsville
& Tennille railway and the Ocmul-
gee river steamboats.
“J. W. Pope and A. B. Steele,
both of Atlanta, were president
and vice-president and general
manager, respectively, of the road.
“It has been known for some
weeks that the B. & B. people were
figuring on this road and only
last week their officials made two
trips over the H. & F. S. Ry.
Passengers from Pitts this morn

road at that point confirm the
report of the deal, and the avowed
purchasers of the property are to

name implies, via Grovania or

THE YALUE OF
EDUCATED PEOPLE
Connections are Made With Bell System.
President E. C. Branson, of the
State Normal School at Athens,
the teacher’s friend and the great
est educator in (Georgia, will' de
liver his lecture—“Robert- E. Lee
—Gentleman,” here at the operA
house next. Friday night, Oct. 10.
No man who has ever lived in
the stato lias done more for the
teachers of the state than Mr
Branson. His life is devoted to
education through the common
| schools and common school teach
ers ol Georgia, and the senso and
energy with which he is striving
to solve the pjobletn of rural edu
cation in this state are character
istic of no other than the life of a
great man.
The results of Mr. Branson’s
work are in evidence in all parts
of the country, and the time will
soon come when the people must
realize that the kind of education
for which he is giving his whole
life is the only right kind of
education.
And so a manifestation of inter
est in Mr. Branson’s lecture by the
people of Vienna and community
will show a renl interest in the
right kind of training for our boys
and girls. This will be a rare
opportunity for the people to
hear a great Georgian spehk of the
life of our grent hero and bring
before them the example of the
greatest Christian gentleman nnd
warrior of history. C. H. H.
A LITTLE CHILD BADLY
BURNED NEAR JERRY.
There are thousands of people
who are living in highly civilized
countries that do not fttlly appre
ciate the real influence and power
the educated men and women exert
on civilization and Christianity.
Some are so unwise and predju-
dicod against higher education as
to stoutly and persistently oppose
it for the masses of the people.
The world owes a debt of grati
tude to the learnod classes of each
successive generation. Anappenl
to the history of the past and
present will confirm the claim we
are contending for. The people
of Egypt in the remote past
exerted a wonderful influence on
the nations of the earth; not
only because she possessed the
grnneries and bread supplies of the
often famine-stricken countries of
the Eastern Continent, within the
never failing valley of the Nile,
but largely because of the large
number of students that studied i
Little Miss Leila Taylor, the
four year old daughter of Rev. G.
T. Taylor, of near Jerry, was se
verely burned Thursday night of
last week while playing around
the fire. t The back part of its '
clothing was entirely burned off
and the back of its head was badly
burned.
The-father had just returned
from Vienna, nnd while eating
supper heard the cries of his little •
son, Carl, that sister was on fire.
Ho rushed to the room and while
trying to extinguish the angry
blaze, his own hands were very
badly burned.
Friday morning the child .was
getting along very well and it is
hoped that she will soon recover.
The managers qf the Vienna
Telephone Co., informs the News
that they have just completed o
metalic line to Cordele, connect
ing there with the Bell system,
thus giving our people communi
cation with the outside world.
This is-quite a convenience and
the managers, Messrs L. R. Hobbs
and W. Turton, are making con
tinual improvements in the system
bore and are determined, so they
say, to give our people a system
second to none. The News wishes
for them an increasing business .

iors of that great Empire.

The above clipping from the
Hawkinsville Dispatch and News
will be of interest to our readers,
inasmuch as there is a strong be-
liof in the building of a line from
Hawkinsville in the near future to
somo point in this county.
Our business men should not
get so wrapped up in their busi
ness affairs that they will lose
sight of this strong probability in
the securing of a new road for
Vienna. We must keep our eyes
open nnd lie ready to net nt

Vienna should' have a railroad
from that point.
