NOTES EROM GUM SPRING.,

Not seeing anything reported from
this section, I will endeavor to send
you q few items. The past few days
have been very wet--in fact the heavi-
! est rains of the season fell ON Monday.
The land is washed at terrible rate
some planters who have planted OH
bottom land losing corn and, land too.
We could very we'll have spared Peru
fcw showers and then had plenty
left The farmers are very we'll ad-
vanced in farm operations-a good
quantity of corn being already planted.
The fruit prospect just now promises
well, aud if no more. frost comes we
will have plenty this summer.
The health of this section is gem
orally good, but we have had tho
usual amount of coins, etc., but not
many serious cases.
On the Esd ult. most shocking
accident occurred at Simpsons Turn
out. AS the north. bound passenger
train was nearing the station Lucy
Moore, in company with two other
colored persons, was coming from a
funeral and walking OH the railroad,
tho Wild being very high at the time,
the train ran up very near before they
discovered it. All three Of the COL
ored persons at onco got off the track
and Lucy Moore ran some forty or
fifty yards to crossing and attempted
to cross the track when she struck her
foot on the rail and fell, just before
tho engine, wi ioh was now in thirty
feet of her, and although the engineer
was slowing up to stop at the station,
he could not stop in time to save the
unfortunate woman. The engine
struck her and literally crushed her to
pieces, carrying her about twenty-five
feet, leaving her III the middle OF the
track with scarcely whole bone in
her body. Her head was completely
crushed and her brains were scattered
around for several feet-a most shock
ing sight There could be no blame
attached to the engineer as he could
by no means stop bis train, and he
could not have known that the woman
would have gone on the track after
getting off. Coroner Hinnant was
promptly on the spot and held an in
quest. The jury found q verdict in
accordance with the facts and exopeff,
ating the railroad fro" ALI Blame.
There are many AND conflicting state
ments CONCERNING this accident, but
the above'~iS correct one, as the
writer|5f this was in thirty feet Of the
Woman when she was killed, and saw
the whole horrible affair.
