IN MEMORIAM.

When the heart is sick with
sorrow, the tongue is powerless
to speak its sentiments and the
pen also refuses to transmit our
thoughts and feelings.
Human sorrow and suffering is
as old as the human race itself,
but it is only when we ourselves
or our loved ones suffer that we
truly realize the full meaning of
affection and distress.
On the evening of August 9th,
1897, the Death Angel entered
she happy home of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. B Outlaw, i'll G~oldsboro, and
claimed their little son"Jefferson
Davis HILL"
This dear little fellow was born
September 2nd, 1894, and
throughout his short innocent
l;fe furnished much sunshine and
gladness to his fond parents and
to many others who loved and
petted him.
Naturally Of a bright mind and
sweet disposition be drew forth
the love and tenderness of others.
When stricken with disease he
received all the kindly care
that loving hearts and tender
ministering hands could bestow
and all the skill that medical aid
could give; but all in vain! Our
Savior had called this little lamb
% His bosom, and while the little
mortal body rests quietly in its
narrow bed of earth, his immor-
tai spirit has flown to realms
elisian and enjoys the raptu~ous
ecstacy OF bliss in the paradise
O. God.
Weep not dear parents for your dar-
ling boy;
He now is free from every harm and
pain,
And soon for you the night of sorrow
ends
In a bright, happy and eternal day
That God shall usher In to bless
His saints III glory everlasting.

Railroad Wreck i'm Arkansas.

Fort Smith, Ark, Sept. IL
A wreck occurred last night at
10 o'clock on the Kansas and
Arkansas Valley Railroad, twenty
miles west of the city, in which
seven men were killed and six
badly injured. The wrecked train
was the. local freight between
Coffeyville, Kan, and Van Buren,,
Ark, with twenty freight cars
and a passenger coach. Thirteen
cars were completely demolished
and piled upon either side of the
track. There we're fourteen
young men, mostly residents of
Vial, Cherokee Nation, who were
stealing a ride to Van Buren,,
some OIL log airs and some in a
box ar: These cars were in the
midst of the wreck, and seven of
the young men were killed.
The killed are Bowse Henderson
Charles Fame, William Fame,
cO1Ih cOIlISOu, dllQ hOf0ly AL
derson of Wan; Frank Hamilton
of Mckay, and III. A. Waltons
residence unknown.
The injury IT Robert Enbanks,
Charles Panders, and Jim Phillip,
of Wan, Jack Jones, colored, and
George Kaufman. Phillips is
the only one dangerously hurt.
Charles Fame lived three hours
pinned down between two saw
logs and a box a on top. Every
effort was made to release him,
but it was utterly impossible with
the means at hand. He and his
brother died about fifteen min
utes apart. The boys were all
out on a lark and were going to
Van Buren, to get some whiskey.
Both ends of the train remained
on the track, and consequently
none of the train crew or regular
passengers was injured.
