0 WRAPPED IN A BUNDLE
Was Thrown From a Moving Train
Near Vienna Last Week.
POUND BY SECTION FOREMAN,
Who Was Horrified When He Discovered
it in the Weeds Beside the Track.
The Same Old, Old Story.
The following is told by the
Cordele Herald of last week:
Section Foreman J. B. Cimning
ham and his crew made a ghastly
discovery at about 2:80 o’clock
la-t Thursday afternoon while en¬
gaged in repairing the G. S. & F.
road bed about two miles north of
Vienna.
When the southbound train
from Macon, due at Cordele at
two o’clock, was passing the men,
Mr. Cunningham and his crew
saw a bundle thrown from a win
dow of one of the fast-moving
cars. The apparent size and
weight of the bundle impelled
Mr. Cunningham to go to the spot
where it was seen to fall, To his
horror he found a new-born male
child in the weeds beside the
track. Further ahead was the
wrapping, which the wind had
blown from abo.ut the tiny body.
It was a tastily made woman’s
underskirt, of best material.
Mr. Cunningham examined the
infant carefully, and he states to
the Herald that it was a well
formed white child seven inches
long.
The mystery surrounding its
birth and parentage will probably
remain unsolved, but there is a
time to come when a righteous
judge who knows will punish this
vilest of crimes.
Mr. Cunningham had his men
inter the body near where it was
found.
Tis but another story of man’s
perfidy and woman’s weakness.
Kansas boasts of a hailstorm in
which the hailstones were as large
as ostrich’s eggs, and it is said
that one enterprising farmer filled
his cellar with the stones, covered
them with sawdust and will sell
them to families that need ice.
In France, if a person dies with
more debts than can be covered by
his estate, the doctor’s bill has
precedence over all other claims.
The man who never says any¬
thing about the weather, is, to that
extent, a charming conversation¬
alist.
A woman doesn’t give a reason
very often, to be sure, but, then,
she seldom asks for one, either.
For sixty-seven years the
United States has raised two
thirds of the world’s cotton.
Texas produces one-third of the
American cotton crop and has hut

There is no wisdom in this world
like knowing how to keep your
mouth shut.
