OBrTUARY.-We give in another column
the particulars of the terrible Railroad acci-
cent which occurred near Green Springs on
Saturday last, Mrs. Mary z. Demoss was the
daughter of-Mr. T. Wilcox, well known
throughout the county as one Of the most
prominent aud highly respected citizens Of
Townsend, and her shocking death is felt as
a heavy affection by very large circle Of
friends and acquaintances.
We have gathered the following particu-
lars in regard to her life and death.
Mrs. Danors was the eldest daughter Of T.
and II WILCOX, and was born in Townsend
July 81, 1912. She has been almost con-
stantly engaged in teaching since she was
eighteen years Of age. In February 1864
when the 49th o. Y. V. J., was at home on
furlough Miss WILCOX was married to Ser
geant MIRoN SwEfr Of Co. F. Nr. SwEEr
returned TO the front with his regiment Hhar-
ing its tolls and dangers, and helping to
make its record until he was taken prisoner
at Stone River, May 10 1864, and Died at
Andersonville Dec. 4th 1884, Ga the 23d
of December 1866 Mrs. Sweet was married
to T. P. DEMoss of Pulaski County Indiana,
and after spending the holidays with their
friends Mr. and Mrs. DENoss started for
their western home accompanied by Miss
Albiua Wilcox, sister Of the bride. The
party took the l0-40 A. N. train at York Sta
ton, and when about two miles above Green
Springs the rear car was thrown from the
track, and turned upon its side while the train
was yet in motion. Mrs. Demoss was drawn
partially through the window, her feet
caught in the timbers of the track and her
limbs were mangled and crushed before the
train could be stopped and while her hus'
band was trying to extricate her. When the
men first commenced to break up the ceiling
and tear away the supports Of the window
which held her fast she encouraged them by
saying that they did not hurt her, but soon
asked them to stop, saying it was of no use
and she had little time 10 talk 10 her hus-
band. Seeing his grief she said sOothingly
with raress of her hand Don't; DON'T" and
after few words relative 10 her keepsakes
she said. ''Tske me home to my mother
and bury me with my brothers and sisters"
and the nachiuery of life stopped and her
carressing hands ceasedto move. The deso-
late husband and sister returned uuipjured
to their friends with the remains Of Mrs.
Demoss The funeral services, conducted by
Rsv. Mr.. Brosdwell of Clyde, were held at
the Methodist Church at 3 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Mr. Demoss served for three years in the
46 Indiana Vet. v, and was dischargen in
consequence of wounds received in Banks

The Fancy Dress Party.-In spite Of
many drawbacks in the shape Of other do

success financially, Es well as a delightful
social entertainment. There was good dis
play of elegant cnstuues, especially on the

Skating.-The past two or three weeks Of
cold weather have not been allowed to run
to waste by the skaters of our community.
The river has offered fair facilities for the
sport, and the numerous ponds in the vicin-
ity do away the necessity for artificial parks.
The ladies are pro6cieDts as a rule and
yourg uen who can't skate are nowhere.
With the general growth Of out door sports
in this country skating has become almost a
nltional amusement for the Winter season
Winter used to bring visions of sleighrides,
dances and love making, blue noses, nipped
ears and frosted feet. That day has gone
by. The unbroken crystal creates stir
among ads and lasses that compel grand
fathers to dream Of the s!eighing oflong, long
ago, and lament the degeneracy Of youth
who substitute the skats for the runner, the
robe and the bells. Sieighing is expensive
in these latter days and besides the skating
season comes earlier and stays longer than
the snow. Good sleighing hasn't come yet
this winter while the skating season opened
long ago and VIII continue long after the last
drift has melted. So bring out yonr
skates, pat them in running trim and prepare
for gay season.
