Struck hy q Train.

The section men picked up a colored
man near Miller's sidetrack just west
of the city Tuesday morning as they
went to work and brought him to town.
He was in an unconscious condition,
and had evidently been struck by
a train.
He seemed to be stranger in these
parts, as none of the colored people
here knew him. A letter was found in
his pocket addressed to a Miss Harris,
but no postofices were marked on it,
The unfortunate man was seen Tues
day evening about dark at the depot
He told some one that he was going to
Jonesboro. He was we'll supplied with
whiskey. About all that is known OF
him is that he came here with a drove
of horses, belonging to John Roller at
Kingsport, and he probably lives in
that section or at Bristol, He is about
35 years old and strongly built. He
was taken to the house of George Mari
and a doctor sent for. 1t was found
that his skull was fractured and his
right arm broken. He has been uncon
scious ever since the accident and vii
probably die.
The supposition is that he attempted
to swing the train, leaving here abou
Z o'clock, and was so drunk that hi
failure resulted as above stated. 4
broken bottle was found in his poke
and he must have laid out in the col,
wind all night, which was enough t
kill an ordinary man

To Lucille.

Oh queenly dead ,-Lucle's sweet form.
Pallid and rigid and lifeless it be,
Beneath a lone and Stoid stone,
In corrosive slumber-I adore thee!
Aye (but not now under each brow
Rare roses bloomed and blushed alternately
modest red beneath each brow,
Brown and lovely ebbed and flowed so sanity
! And-yet, yet unsevered the golded vow
| That win bind us ultimately.
On, sanity dead-ny own Lucille,
Wrapt in obscured dank tomb afar from me
| Beneath dim skies, dreamless, she lies
| Silently Wondering think Of thee!
We AYE, lately dreamed sedately
! Meath the shallow face of the saffroned moon
That smiled as she reigned sedately,
But dreamed not the Conqueror Worm so soon
With its Selling fangs would her form destroy
Under the samie yellow-tinged moon
| Oh, sacred dead-my sweet Lucille,
Now, now an angel in Eternity
Beyond these skies Of endless signs,
Happy, divinely happy-I love thee
But, ali, Sorrow and stern Morrow,
| Gaunt and pallid have oppressed me lately
journey long with Earths sad throng
Aspiring to that city so stately,
Andalways answered the golden vow
That will bind us ultimately IF. D. L.

1t is "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyppeptics?-
that takes the flesh off their bones, t1e
vitality from their blood, and makes
them feeble, emaciated and inefficient?
No. It is bad cooking, oyereating OF
indigestible stuff, and other health
destroying habits.
The remedy is an artifciallv digest

Cordial. Instead of irritating the al

gives it a chance to rest by nourishing
