The train was running at sixty-five miles an hour when the accident occurred. En gineer J. F. Emer-on had charge of the big locomotive No. 1,604.

II is | body was thrown a distance of fifty feet, and when the man fell, life was extinct. North’s skuil was fractured and several bones in his body broken. The flyer was stopped as soon l as possible and backed to the | place where the physician’s body lay. The dead man was taken in hand by friends and sent to his home. Dr. North was about 47 years old and is survived by a wife and two children.

We were in error in regard to several of the particulars in re gard to Capt. Murphey’s record which we published last week and we cheerfully reproduce the article corrected as it should be: “Capt. E. J. Murphey, of Barnesville, was last Wednesday retired from active service in the Georgia state troops and his name ordered to the list of retired of ficers with the rank of lieutenant colonel. The following constitutes his military career: First sergeant company E Third Georgia battalion, C. S. army, JBOI ; first lieutenant and regimental adjutant, 87th Geor gia regiment, C. 8.

Well, are you afraid to ride on the cars, just because there have been wrecks on the rail-road ? Are you afraid to buy something to eat, just because someone has occasionally been cheated in groceries ? ? Are you afraid to bathe, just because a man was once drowned in a bath tub ? ? ? Are you afraid to breathe, just because there are a few poisonous microbes in the air ? ? ? ? We trust you will see the point, if not, call to Bee us and we will point it out.
