Jonas Jehmn
Killed By Train
Mr. Jonas Johnson, who was
stiuck by the A. B, &
through freight Wednesday after
noon, died early yesterday morn
ing at his home on west Oconee
street. Death came to the aged
man before he recovered from the
influence of ether, which was ad
ministered in order that the at
physicians might amputate
m ? which was frightfully
^|^Fj.ted. Mr. Johnson was T4
years of age, and the shock from
the blow dealt him by the train
was too great for his weak system.
The manner in which Mr. John
son was struck, as best we could
get it, was in this way. He was
in front of the A. B. & A. passen
ger depot walking on the concrete
pavement between the two tracks,
when the through freight ap
proached on one track, while an
other train was standing on the
other track. There is some dis
tance between the two tracks and
under ordinary conditions Mr.
Johnson would have been in per
fect safety, but it happened that
the door of one of the freight cars
had worked loose and in passing,
struck him such a terrific blow
that he was knocked several feet
over against the train on the other
track. The door struck his head.
The deceased was a member of
the G. A. R. and had many friends
among the old soldiers of the city,
who are deeply grieved at his
death. He is survived by a wife
and six children.
The funeral service will be held
tomorrow morning, 10 o’clock at
his late home.

Underwood Club Being
Organized in Crisp
Cordele. March 2G.—Through
the influence of Colonel J. Gordin
Jones, of Cordele, an Underwood
club is being organized in this city.
A petition is being freely circulat
ed and already over 200 signature s
have been secured. It is expect
ed that within the next few days a
list of ovw 1,000 names will be at
tached to the petition, when an
organization will be perfected and
officers elected.
There can lie no doubt but th t
the Underwood influence is very
strong throughout this county
section, and that lie will carry
Crisp is conceded by practically
everyone. There are a few Wil
s >n men, hut there seems to be no
attempt to oryaivz u as it is gen
erally recognized livitthe Under
wood followers are far in the mu
and that the brilliant Aia
barman is the favorite.
Reports received from adjoining
counties indicate that the sentiment
for Underwood is growing and
that most of the south Georgia
counties will roll up a handsome
majority for the candidate from
our neighboring southern state.
