Sad Accident.

Our language furnishes no means Of
expressing the sadness, sorruH, anc
gloom into which our little town was
thrown, last Thursday, by one of the
saddest accidents that ever befell any
family or community. John S. Dunn,
father OF Ex- Collector, w. A Dunn of the
hrm of Taylor&Dunn, was at the home
OF his son and intended to go back to his
home near Buchanan, that morning,
but being very much attached to the
family and especially Linyille, his only
grandson, could not resist their entreat-
les to stay longer, having naught in
mind but the pleasure and happiness of
those he loved so dearly, and who were
80 thoughtful and anxious about his
comfort and happiness. When he con-
sented to stay their Joy was unbounded
and all went well until about one o'clock,
Linville stepped out in the yard to where
his mother was attending to some duty
and tried to express to her his Joy over
having prevailed on his grand pa to
spend the day with them and some of
the nice expressions of love and praise,
his grandpa had given him, he went back
into the house and it appears that when
ne stepped into the room that, Mr.. Dunn
had taken an old pistol from the top of
the book case where it had lain number
OF years, and was looking at #, when
Linville remarked that it vas not loaded
and requested that he let him see it,
which he did. After brushing the dust
off of it and swapping it two or three
umes. Mr.. Dunn reached for it and told
him to let him put it away, it was handed
to him and in taking it, in some way, it
hired, the ball entering Linville's head
Just over the right eye. Hearing the
shot Mrs Dunn was in the room in
moment the father, was at the store, and
DIR. G. A. Sander, were Immediately
summoned but the wound was pronounce
ed fatal, and about p. m. the spirit of
this bright, manly, well-bred, courteous,
affectionate little boy, who was favor
lite of all who knew him returned to the
God who gave it, tender of years, but
ripe for eternity. This sad unfortunate
bereavement is one of those which come
occasionlly, to the best and most careful, |
Had he been called upon to make the
sacrifice, no doubt Mr.. Dunn would have
given his life for his little grandson,
but it was not so ordered. The funeral
was preached Friday afternoon by Rev.
j. a Russell in the Presbyterian church
to a,large congregational sorrowing sym
patising friends after which the remains
Of Roger Linville Dunn aged II years
months and "a days, were laid to rest
