when her heart gave away under the
strain and she PASSED away unexpect-
edly. Her heart was not very strong

ate cause of death was IT'S weak con-
dition.

moved to this county. where she has
lived ever since. She was a faithful

A SMALL WASH.OUT.

The passenger trains were all off
time this morning on account of a
wash-out which occurred near Rich
burg on the Northeastern road some
time at an early hour this morning.
The train which should have arrived
here at 10 O'Clock did not arrive be-
fore l and the other train which
should have arrived at II was late.
The wash-out was repaired tempo
rarily and the trains are passing over
the place on schedule time
The rains are reported to have been
quite heavy down IN that section and
did considerable damage to the cot
ton crop besides the railroad. So far
there has been no report of damage
along the Gulf and Ship Island of
any serions nature, though the water
at some places was quite high.

WRECK ON THE ALABAMA AND VICKS'
BURG ROAD.

It is learned that the wreck on the
Alabama and Vicksburg road yester-
day morning is not so bad as first re-
ported. The negro fireman is
supposed to be dead under the
engine, but even this is not confirm
ed. 1t may be possible that he was
thrown out of the cab and ran off,
being so badly frightened. Johnny
Jones, the engineer, is not very
badly hurt, there being no bones
broken, and will recover in a few
weeks. Every coach except one was
thrown from the track, but none of
the passengers or the train crew
hurt seriously.
Speaking of the fireman being
thrown from the cab and running off
reminds the writer that this same
Johnny Jones, while he was firing
on passenger train on the same
road and just before reaching Jack
son, was in wreck, the engine leaV-
ing the track. At the time the
1
engine was running as fast as it
could turn a wheel. Jones was
thrown from the cab and ran fifty
yards out into an old field, going
ahead of the engine which had
knocked down the fence. And yet
to this day he cannot account for
the way he got out of the cab or has
any recollection of running. Still
the writer went around the engine
and found him out In the field,
escaping without injury except hav-
ing piece of glass stuck into his
body. Hence it may be possible
that the negro fireman in yester-
days wreck is safe.

Was a Guard in Coach on Which
He Was Riding.
HE WAS STRUCK FROM THE REAR
And Stayed Where He Fell All
Night.

D. F. Weeks, of Moorhead, Miss, and
a member of the Itta Bena Rifles, was
knocked off the train last night near the
Gulf and Ship Island depotdepot
The train bearing the soldiers from
the encampment at Biloxi arrived here
at 10 p. m. Mr.. Weeks was a guard on
the coach in which the Itta Bena Rifles
were riding. His duty was to guard the
door. In the same coach, the End Mis-
sissippi regimental band came as fal as
Hattiesburg, changing here for Meri
dian. When the train pulled out, going
north on the Gulf and Ship Island,
Weeks was standing on the platform.
Suddenly he was struck from the rear
across the head, and landed on the
ground. He says he was rendered I'M
concious and did not "come to" until
about o'clock this morning, when he
got up and went to a lunch stand.
Around the place he had fallen was a
considerable quantity of blood. From
VIC AC was SAOWu W luc
South Mississippi Inirmnry where his
wound was examined and dressed.
Weeks is confident that he was struck
across the head with gun in the hands
of some of the soldiers, but says he has
no idea who did it or for what purpose it
was done.
He says that many of the soldiers were
drinking and somem of the drunk. He
admits that he drank some, but denies
that he was at all intoxicated, which is
not likely or he would not have been
allowed to do guard duty. He thinks
he will be able to go home in day or
two if he can raise the wherewith. He
says most of Ihe soldiers were STRAP

BADSIDEWALKS.
Something Should be Done Before
Winter Sets in.

Early this morning there was a
tremendous downpour of rain and
people who came TO town almost had
to wade or swim along the so-called
sidewalks" of the city. From the
public school building to Husband
street the sidewalks were equal to a
lake. All along there are sunken
places and the water fills in the cen
ter of the sidewalks and it is iInpossi-
BILE to walk there without water going
over the shoe-tops. This particular
sidewalk is IN terrible shape and no
doubt "there are others"
The truth is the sidewalks of Hat
tiesburg are a disgrace to our city.
In bad weather they are almost inn
passable. Nothing is being done to
improve them and it is just possible
that people may have to take to the
center of the street for that has been
thrown high IN the center and slopes
| toward the cutters so the water can
run off. Something ought to be done
and done at once about the sidewalks
before winter comes. There is not a
country village in the state that
would have contended with such
walks. They would raise them in
the center and put gravel, cinders,
planks or something on them. 1t is
said that the city has money in the
treasury-if so, some of it at least
could be used to make the sidewalks
passable. This is a matter that
ought to have immediate attention,
for winter Will soon be here and little
or nothing can be done.

THAT FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

For the accommodation OF the
people and for their immediate relief
the free mail delivery should be es-
tablished at once. It is shame the
way the people of this city receive
their mail at present. The mail is
SO heavy that the force in the office
is inadequate to do the work and
some times it is late in the day
before all the mail can be distribut-
ed. This is not only one objection,
but when the mail is open it is
almost impossible to get mail from
the general delivery WINDOW, there
being such crowd of negroes who
elbow their way up to the window
and stand around all over the build
ing that no white man cares to mix
with them in order to get his mail
even if he was successful in doing so.
IT we had the free delivery all this
would be remedied. The mail would
be delivered at his house and the
carriers, being employed by the
government, would help to dis
tribute the mail, thus facilitating
matters.
1t appears to the Progress that the
city fathers have been at work long
enough on this matter to have ac-
complished the purpose before now.
If they ever expect to complete the
work it is about time they were
doing so. the people are becoming
impatient and they are making their
Impotence known.
The names of all the streets and
avenues have been finished long ago
and the most of the houses have been
numbered. If the work of making
the posts has not been completed the
city fathers should see that the work
is done forthwith and the free mail
delivery system established at once.
It makes the Progress feel bad for
people to come to it and say if this
opportunity had been given Laurel
or some other competing town the
free delivery would have been es-
tablished long ago. But that is
what they are saying to the Progress
every day.
1t is hoped the mayor and board of
aldermen will take up this matter at
the next meeting and push it
through at once.

Weighs rs Pounds.

Earl Dobbins, who so far as known,
is the champion fat boy of the world,

on the street was the occasion for
wonderment which bordered on sem
sation. People attracted by the ire
mendous avoirdupolse OF the child
stood gasplng after him, and few
had the temerity to follow behind
and question the living wonder.
Earl Dobbins Is ten years old and

etor of the New Southern hotel at
