A STRANGE PHENOMENON.

Last week Mrs. Reneau, who,
with her husband, lived on COryell
Creek, some FIVE miles from Tur.
nersville, died very suddenly. At
the time of her death several neigh.
bOrs were present, together with the
attending physicians, DR.. J. D.
Galway, Of Turnersville, and
DIR. Toland, of Jonesboro.
When the spirit had de.
parted from the body and wended
its way to the home above, a sight
was seen which, to the faithful ones
who were watching by the couch,
was as startling as it was real. The
spectacle presented itself just above
the house, and was ffightful in the
extreme. Six collins of different
sizes were seen to come and hover
Immediately above the house. The
night was dark, and ordinary OBJ
Jects at any distance were
invisible, but the coffins were
as plainly to be seen "a they
would have been in broad daylight.
When the gaunt and ghastly collins
had been visible for some time they
disappeared, and as they seemed to
glide gently upward sounds OF the
sweetest and most melodious music
were heard, and seemed to accom-
pany the dark omens in the r journey
toward the skies. We did not see
any of the parties who ssw the
strange phenomenon. but no douoI
can be entained of their veracltY, or
the facts regarding the strange slgnS
as herein stated. The phenomenon
was indeed q curious one, and NE
do not remember to have ever
chronicled such a rare occurrence
before Gainesville (Texss) AdO0f'ce'
