An accident occurred here last night
which luckllya resulted In not being the
cause Of the death Of one Of Longview's
many excellent ladies'. Mr.. G M. Dotson,
visiting the family OF his cousin, Rev. w
III. Dodson, drove ont In the afternoon
with Miss Fannie Dodson. Approaching
tho railway crossing near the G, Y.
church, the approach to the track being
over deep gully, train was iusl
approaching around the curve. The
horses Immediately stopped and began
bucking, throwing the carriage aud It's oc-
cupants, together with the horse, twenty
feet into the gully. The horse leaped
sldewlse, aud, becoming loose, failed to
fall immediately, with the occupants,
which alone saved them from n terrible
death. As 10 was, they were thoroughly
bruised, and have not yet recovered. Al
this same place, the week before, MIR.
Junlus Flewellen, with his wife and Il tic
children, were thrown into the
gully at tho same place from a
Ike cause. The approaches to the track
ON both sides cross deep gulleys over
bridges which, together with the earth
work, are no more than twelve feet wide.
In this general makeup in regard 10
Longview's advancement II Is thought to
be u good idea TO have this particular
place made safe.
Rev. A, b. Vaughn, former resident
as pastor OF the Baptist church here,
has been spending couple OF weeks
with his many friends and preaching
nightly to houses packed to OVERLOOKING.
"No more powerful, deep and arguments
tive speaker has ever addressed our peo-
plein Is the general comment. He left
for his home in Georgia on Monday.
Rev George A, LeClere, the Methodist
pastor here, who has been sick for some
time, was able TO be out yesterday aud
took charge OF the funeral services of
Miss Kate Isham, Que OF Longyiew's
Flowed and lost,n whose death, though
expected, was sad. "Cousumptlon's vic.
TINS are always lovahle."
