THIBLAUK8HIAR HORROR.
Details Difficult Obtain and Cause
Really Uakuewn.
Blacksheak, Ga., ilar. 21.—The
great tragedy on the Savannah, Fior
ida and Western raiiroad, last Sat
urday, in which a passenger train
fell through a thirty seveu feet tres
tie over the Hurricane river, near
here, still engrosses geuerai atten
tiou. Details are difficult to ob
tain and accounts conflicting.
It is a singular coincidence that
President Wilbur's car, which was
damaged to the amount of about
$6,000 iu this wreck, wits derailed
nuar this pluce vie year ago with
almost the party on board,
and it is ms-/ a striking fact that
not one passenger has ever been
killed on the S., F. k W. hitherto
since the building of the road,
i he trestle has bttn replaced and
regular schedules lesuruod.
The exact cause of the accident
will ever be known. A tborongl
inspection of the trucks under each
car reveals no defects, and not oue
of them was not good for use after
the accident.
There are twenty nine injured per
sons at Waycross, some only slight
ly wounded, some more severely, but
not one of them is considered in
any way critically hurt.
At. Blackshear there are four of
the injured, three ladies and one
man, and while they are each pain
fully hurt, they are in a fair way to
recover.
The following is a list of tbo
dead:

Beautify four Towu.
The citizens of a town not far from
Washington think they can attract
summer visitors to it by planting
trees along the streets and -around
the houses, and in this way adding
to its beauty. They are no doubt,
right. The people of this country
do not, as a rule, pay enough atten¬
tion to beautifying their towns, and
when a really pretty one ii found, if
its surroundings are healthful, it will
be very apt to attract persons in
search of quiet and rest from the
cares of city life.
The Savannah News says that a
trip through Georgia would prob
ably reveal the fact that comparative
ly few small towns receive much at¬
tention in tbo way ol adornment.
Their beauty i* generally that af
forded by nature, and frequently
this is detracted from by decaying
houses and poorly kept premises.
One trouble with nus ui ihem is
that the people r r don’t feel able te ex
pend , their , money on improvements,
while the authorities, who, as a rule,
serve without pay, are not sufficient¬
ly interested to do their whole duty.
Then thrre are the croakers, who are
found in every locality— men whose
chief occupation seems to be to sit
on the street corners and discour¬
age every laudable enterprise that is
proposed. A half dozen croakers
can often kill the efforts of a consid
erable number of enterprising men.
The adornment of a town is a pay¬
ing investment, in Whatever light it
may be considere I. It pays in the
the pleasure afforded by a pretty
home. It pays in the enhancement
of property. It pays by attracting
citizens, visitors and investors.
A person in search of temporary
or permanent abode would not te
greatly attracted to the town whose
houses have a delapidated appear¬
ance, whose street* in rainy weather

are a mud puddle, whose sidewalks
arc lined at long intervals with trees,
whose premises are made ugly by
falling fences, and whose people
roam about in a listless, half hearted
sort of way. Yet tbeis are probably
a number of such towns in Georgia.
On the other band, if the citizens
were to turn iu and paint their
houses, plant shade treoB, keep the
fences in order, or, what would be
better, take tbem away, and plant
flowers iu .lie front yards; and if tbe
officials wete to realize that by giv
mg attentions to public improvmeuts
theyoDuU ifter all make their posi
tions pay them something in the iu
creased atti c Ion and value 0
their property—if these things , were
done the towns would contain more
contented and inoio prosperous
people.
It is a question if it would r.ot
be well to have salaried officials in
every towu. In that way, probably,
a better set of men would be so
Kcted. and mere public spirit shown
J them. It would cost sometbn g,
but in all like hood it wwuld be mousy
well spent.
