Perry county, about o'clock on Non
day morning, by a fast passenger train
going west. He had been living
west and came to his native county to
visit friends. He was q son of Eli
Grubb. who used to live in Perry
county. On Sunday George hired a
horse and buggy at Newport to go to
Evansville, about seven miles west of
Newport, 10 see his girl, and it was
while he was coming back that he en-
lcountered the train at the station cross
ing The buggy was broken into small
pieces and with the horse lay on the
north side of the track. The body of
/ the unfortunate young man was on the
south side of the track. Those who
saw the wreck of the buggy, the dead
horse and the dead man shuddered at
the awful sight.
The chicken pox-sina!i poX, scare,
in Bedford, if it has set the doctors to
pulling each others hair, on the sub
ject of which is which, has also become
source of profit to them in these
healthful days of winter time, for now
everyone wants to be vaccinated, and
that means money for the doctors
purse. Be vacinated if you have not
two or three vaccine scars on your arm,
and if your babies are old enough to be
vaccinate have them vaccinated. If
you don't and they get chicken pOx
some one might call it small poX. If
they are vaccinated and get chicken
poX you'll know it isn't small pox and
you'll not be scared almost TO death.
To be scared almost to death is nearly
as bad as actual dying, so have the
vaccination done aud save the scare,
and other discomforts attending such
unpleasant circumstances.
