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