The most distressing and shocking

lteemed citizens of his neighborhood.
He lived about six miles from the town

Tuesday afternoon when he met death
Instantly and in a shocking manner.
Mr.. Kornegay had been to the town
TO do some trading and was leisurely
driving toward home. about three miles
from town when it is supposed his horse
became frightened. There were no eye
witnesses to the lamentable affair. The
first to learn of h fate h a had be-
fallen Mr.. Kornegay were some country
lpeople who had also been to town and
were On their way home. They found
his lifeless body on the roadside with
his neck broken, lying it is thought
where he fell from his buggy.
The horse after freeing himself from
the vehicle ran home.
On seeing the horse in such condition
the family knew that something had
gone wrong and put out to find the
trouble n met the remains, which had
been picked up by passing friends.
The deceased was about 40 years Of
lage n leaves a wife and an adopted
daughter to mourn his loss. In their
sudden he~art-rending affection they
have the sympathy OF the whole
community.

To Winter Here.

A prominent lover of harness horses stopped The Advertiser reporter this morning and asked him if he had heard anything of any of the grand circuit race horses coming to Selma to winter here during the coming winter and spring. When told by the reporter that he had heard nothing positive on the subject. the gentleman said that he had heard that an unusually large number of stables would bring their racers here to spend the winter out at the Selma Driving Park.
 The gentleman also said that he knew of several efforts by citizens to get stables here. and that he thought that their ef- forts would meet with success. This gentleman also said that he thought that Ed Geers with Hamlins great string of standardbreds would be one of the stables that would beyond doubt spehd ens winter here.
 Geers has not wintered In Selma In two years. but he has always been loud in uraising the Selma track as wintaring resort and says that the climate here is not equalled anywhere. Last winter Geers spent in Memphis training Ham Iin's string. but when he left that city for the North on his summer campaign he made the assertion that the Memphis track was one of the best in the South,
