Mr.. GUS. R1cHEY came home last Friday.
He has been absent from AbbeVllle 1or some
three years. He first had q place In Birming-
ham, but for about year he has been run m
ming on some of the railroad trains In Ala
bama and Mississippi. A short time ago he
was promoted from fireman to engineer, and
everything went we'll with him and his train
until he ran into the rear end OF Train IN
front of his train. Not much damage was
dohe, but he and his associates in consequence
received q furlough, or leave OF absence tor
thirty-ffve days. The accident was caused by
O fast watch, which was sixteen minutes
ahead Of time. Mr.. Richey Is little thin In
flesh, but we hope q rest from his laborious
situation will restore him 10 his usual weight.
