HIS INJURIES PROVED FATAL
Negro Who Fell from Train Died
Yesterday Afternoon.

The injuries sustained by George
Cole Monday night in falling from q
Katy train between Waxahachie and
Lancaster proved fatal. After lin
gering in an unconscious condition
for two or three days the injured
man expired yesterday afternoon
about five o'clock. His remains
were inferred this morning.
No additional details outside of
what appeared in this paper have
been obtained. The injured man
was never able to make an accurate
statement that would throw any
light on the matter. How he came
to fall from the train will probably
never be known.
He had been in the employ of
Capt. Getzendaner for more than
seventeen years, most of the time
as his house and personal servant.
He was faithful, honest and prompt
in the discharge of his duties and
would have risked his life at any
time to save his employer or any of
his family from harm.

An unknown writer offers the fol-
lowing good advice: "If your neigh
Dor is prosperous, let him prosper
Don't grunt, growl or grumble. Say
a good word to him and let him go
at that. Don't be a knocker. Your
time will come. If you see the town
is moving along nicely, feel good
about it. Help things along shove
a little-push. Try to get some of
the benefit yourself. Don't stand
around like a chilly old cadaver.
Don't waste your time feeling sore
because some fellow has little
more sense than you have. Do a
little more hustling yourself"
