Passenger Train on Central
Wrecked Near Buchanan.
A common iron railroad spike
placed between the joints of two
rails, presumably by train wreckers,
caused the wrecking of the south
bound Central of Georgia passenger
train 3 miles south of Buchanan
Sunday morning, resulting in the
death of Engineer Samuel Ayers,
and the injuring of Conductor Little
ton and William Solomon, negro
fireman.
The bravery of Engineer Ayers
undoubtedly saved the lives of
scores of passengers. When the en-
gineman felt his engine jump the
track, he applied his brakes and
stuck bravely to duty’s post till his
engine turned turtle, burying him
and liis fireman beneath tons of
twisted steel and iron, with steam
spurting about tiieir mangled forms
in volume. Those who rtished to
the aid of the brave engineman
could offer no aid. The fireman
was extricated with great difficulty,
and was barely alive.
Wrecking trains were dispatched
from Cedartow.i, Bremen and Buch
anan, carrying doctors and nurses.
The engineer’s body was removed
with difficulty, after hours of work.
The spike which caused the
wreck was placed on the rail on a
sharp curve. There was no chance
tor the engineer to see the small
object, and a wreck at that point
could not prove otherwise than dis
astrous. The train was running at
a speed of 30 miles an hour, when
the engine left the rail. The mail
and express car followed and were
smashed into kindling wood. The
coaches, with a heavy passenger
list, were piled alongside the track,
passengers receiving a severe shak
ing and pounding. A score or more
received injuries, more or less se
rious; but none was fatally injured.
W. J. Vance Commits Suicide
W. J. Vance, employed as driver
of the City Fire Wagon, committed
suicide early Saturday morning in
the sleeping apartment of the Fire
House by shooting himself in the
breast with a pistol.
He had been married less than a
week when he committed the awful
deed.
Two notes were found on a chair
near the body, one directing what
disposition to make of his body and
the other to his wife, bidding her
farewell.
Despondency is supposed to have
been the cause of his suicide.
Funeral exercises and interment
were at this place on last Sunday
morning.
LOST—Leather bag pocket-book,
containing 2 notes, one for $4,900.00
payable to A. A. Ogletree and signed
by J. R. and B. C. Borders; and one
for $109.00 signed by Obe Cook, and
other papers, and $3.68 in money,
Lost on public square. Finder
please notify A. A. Ogletree,

For Sale
THREE REASONS
1. Depositing money in a bank makeg it absolutely safe
f om loss by robbery, fire or accident.
2. With a bank account you can pay your bills by check.
The cancelled check is a legal reciept for payment and you cannot
be made to pay the bill twice.
3. Nearly every man needs to borrow money sometime. If
you are well known at this bank through your bank account it is
easy for you to get accommodations.
The bright standard this bank has set for itself in the conduct
of its business is a protection to its depositors in every emergency
and under all circumstances. It insures them against reckless
speculation and the get rich-quick-fever, and it is a guarantee that
what ever the profits may be they have been earned by pa'udent,
conservative business management in which there is not a single
element of danger. We like to have prospective patrons examine
us regarding these claims to strength and stability.

Card of Thanks
To the dear good people of Car
rollton who have been so good, kind
and thoughtful of us in our sore
affliction, from the depths of our
hearts we thank you.
Our dear son’s and brother’s lim
ited existence in your town hqs
been very sad and reached its cli
max Saturday.
While we are yet clothed in a
mystery, we must wait for the Light
round which we circle, knowing that
Solomon said, “The Lord said he
would dwell in the thick darkness.”
The concrete self, the bloom, is
always too confined, and the soul
must needs long for its true sphere.
When the deep waters reach the
shore lines there are always
breakers.
For the many expressions of your
sympathy and goodness to him in
every way, and to us in our great
sorrow, we are all profoundly grate
ful.
No where has the milk of human
kindness and sympathy flown more
freely than in your town.
With hearts full of gratitude,
Sorrowfully yours,
Mrs. Rebecca Strong Vance,
Lucian M. Vance,
Rosa M. Vance,
Geo. Z. Vance,
Chas. F. Jones,
Dr. I. N. Jones.
