Freight and Passenger Collide
on Flint River Bridge.
A frightful accident with heavy
loss of life was narrowly averted
short’y before noon Tuesday
when the north-bound passenger
train No 72 on the Albany and
Thomasville division of the At¬
lantic Coast nine, dashed into a
Central of Georgia freight, which
was moving over the Coast Line
bridge over Flint river. There
is something of a mystery con¬
nected with the cause of the col¬
lision, but the two engines met at
a point where the trestlo is fully
50 feet above the ground. For
tunatoly the engines telescoped,
neither being thrown from
the trestle end the passenger
coaches were not pulled off the
track. There was a momentary
panic on the part of the passen¬
gers, a curve in the trestle mak¬
ing it an easy matter to witness
the collision from the coach win¬
dows.

In Memory of Sister Sallie J.
Hail.
God has seen tit in his provi¬
dence and power to call from
earth’s toils and cares to heaven’s
wide domain, Sister Sallie J. Hall.
Sister Hall professed faith in
Christ attheeaily age of about
12 years, and from then con
tinued to grow in his grace and
hope, until the end came on
Christmas night of 1903 of 24
years spent in her master’s ser¬
vice, Sister Hall joined the Mis¬
sionary Baptist Church as her
first choice, and remained a Bap¬
tist in deed and in truth during
her life and was a consistent
member of Mt. Zion church at tho
time of her death. Her afflictions
in the flesh were great as she
suffered many deaths before the
end came, but during her afflic¬
tions on earth her faith in God
grew steadily brighter and brigbt
er and before death’s dark man¬
tle passed over her, she professed
a readiness to cross over the river v
to join hands with the saints of
God. where sorrow is not known
and sufferings never come. Sis¬
ter Hall leaves a husband, “Rev.
C. M. Hall,” and two children to
mourn her death.
Therefore be it resolved, that
in the death of sister Hall the
church has lost one of its most
spiritual minded members.
Resolved 2nd. That we, the
church, deeplv sympathize and
pray for the bereaved husband
and children.
Resolved 3rd- That a copy of
these resolutions be spread on
our church book; a copy be sent
to the home of the deceased and
a copy sent to Pelham Journal
and Camilla Enterprise for pub¬
lication.
