few wears ago after these trees were \
placed in the Court Yard the members
of the Macon Baptist Church at much |
less cost caused number Of trees to
be set out in their Church yard, aud |
to-day no member of that Church |
would agree to cut down those trees
for msney. The shade trees in the
streets Of Tuscaloosa, Ala, have added
materially to the comfort aud appear
ance of that city. How refreshing it
is to drive along those streets hot
summer day.-Noxubee Democrat.
An accident which has since resulted
fatally occurred at the l. 4 N. depot
this Thursday evening about o'clock.
Walter Herrin, aged about twelve
years, son Of our townsman, Mr.. Lott
Herrin, attempted to jump on the step
of the cabosse of q freight train while
ii was Ia motion, and missing his foot
ing fell beneath the cars aud the wheels
passed over bis left leg and hip, and
literally msshing ii into mince-meat.
Ills right leg was also broken in two
places. The little fellow was immedi-
ately carried to his home, where he
was attended by Drs. r. j. Turner and
Roger DeMontluzin, who did all in
their power to alleviate his suffering,
but TO Lo avail, and at 9:45 o'clock he
died. His remains will be inferred at
the old cemetery tomorrow, Friday,
evening at 5 o'clock. Mr.. Herrin and
family have the sympathy of oil our
people in their deep aflliction.-Gulf
Coast Progress.
of the many who worked nobly for
the success of the ticket in this county
at the late election, none are entitled to
greater praise than Judge Cassidy.
Called, without expectation or solicita-
tion on his part, to the craftsmanship of
the County Democratic Executive
Committee and the responsibility
placed upon him of organizing and
directing the canvass, he set about dis
charging the trust with an alacrity,
zeal and ability that conquered every
