The Railroad AecIden..

Matters were put to rights in the
railroad accident at Strawberry Plains
about s O'Clock yesterday morning.
The accident happened Tuesday to the
eastern bound freight train. She
broke loose about the center at this
end of the bridge, in fact one of the
cars had been off, running on the ties
for some distance. The track just at
the bridge was badly torn up, and
three of the loaded cars were ditched
down the river bank. One of the new
{" Moguls " was pulling the train, and
she was SO powerful that the engineer
did not know of the accident Till be
had crossed the bridge with part OF the
train.
IL was not ! disastrous accident,
though il was narrow escape. IL
was lust in a place that rendered ii
very unhandy to work at, and a. no
track could be laid around the wreck,
there could be no passing. The pass
engers on the noon train Tuesday
were transferred and brought to Knox
Vile. The eastern bound passenger
train Tuesday night and yesterday
mornings train, we've each delayed on
either side the wreck till the track was
made passable, and the o'clock train
| did not arrive here till about half past
nine. Six sections were sent out or
yesterday mornings freight schedule,
East, accumulated freight, and five
were brought in from above. Every
thing will work all right now.

Obituary.

death is swallowed up in victory, o
death, where is thy sting? o grave where
is tbv victory? Thanks be to God, which
siyeth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ" These words were i'm
pressed upon our mind on seeing good
woman die. Mary A. Nichols, wife OF
James Nichols, of Marshall, North Caro-
lima. and daughter of II. A. Barnard, was
born April 18th. 1926: was married Sep
TENDER 10Th, 1916 and died of dropsy of
the chest, without a struggle, December
9Th. 1873, aged 81 years, months and 20
DAYS She made a profession of religion
when quite young, and attached herself to
the Methodist Episcopal church. She was
never known to dishOnor her profession,
neglect her duties, or forget her obligations
m her church. Her house has been home
for all ministers of the gospel, from her
marriage to her death-none were ever
turned away, but all were made to feel at
home when there. No ordinary sacrifice
was considered too great tor her 10 MAKE,
to accommodate them, and in every way
minister to their wants She loved the
church and her ministers. She was Klho,
loving, and confding wife; an lnduIgens
and faithful mother, an obliging and good
neighbor, very sympathetic in her nature,
so that all who knew her loved her. The
writer has known her Intimately most OF
her married life, and never heard her at
any time, speak hard of any one: but
seemed ever ready to cover their faults
rather than magnify them She had been
greatly afflicted for several years, yet she
never murmured or seemed to complain,
but calmly and quietly bore it all, and by
her actions said, the will of the Lord be
done. So lived, and so passed away good
woman. All mourn her loss, yet they feel
that their loss is her eternal gain.
