Wreck at KentWOOd.

The railroad wreck which oc,
CURED Saturday night at Kent
wood, a small town IN Tanglpahoa
Parish, was in every respect
shocking affair.
Briefly told, the facts are these
The fast Illinois Central mail train,
q through tram, making only TWO
regular stops between New Orleans
and McComb City, MISS, while
running at a high rate of speed,
crashed into the rear end OF an ac.
commodation train standing on the
main line of the railroad At Kent
wood station, completely destroy
ing the two rear coaches of the
latter train. killing more than
thirty persons and woundlng many
more. After the collision, fire
completed the destruction and add
ed to the horror OF the affair.
All but two of the unfortunales
killed were negroes. who had been
paid off on Saturday and were on
their way to McComb to spend
Sunday. Had the rear coach, as is
usually the case, been occupied BY
white people, they would have been
killed, just rs the negroes were, as
the engine of the mail train crashed
through the entire length of the
coach, crushing into shapeleas
masses all the passengers in the
coach.

Tupelo Gum Lumber


N. Cousin, Of st. Tammsny
Parish. who was at the Denechaud
last night, speaks Interestingly Of
the growth OF the Tupelo gun lum.
Der industry, in which the Lacombe
Land and Lumber Company, with
winch he Is connected. has been
operating extensively. Mr.. Cousin
said that experiments with this
wood, which had previously been
declared as unfit for any CONNER
cial use. had demonstrated that it
possessed great strength and durabili-
ty. Mr.. Cousin saws that with the de.
crease in the amount OF ash, and
kindred woods. that he believes that
tue Tupelo gum will come into
greater demand in the future. One
circumstance in the handling
Of THE tree. he added, was the fact
that it reproduced very rapidly, and
t.,at where the timber men were
cutting, the swanps we're coon again
thick with the new growths Of tue
timber. = Picayune.

OBITUARY.

Fell asleep In Jesus, Nov. 7,
1908, Mrs. Chas. F. MoMahon, nee
Katie Sadler.
Like the passing away Of summer
breeze
Her soul was waited to Heaven;
Like the noiseless fall OF the autumn
leaves,
No struggle Of pain was given.
After two weeks of sickness and
pain, death came: quietly and
claimed from our midst wife, q
mother, and friend to many, for
few are the families in Slidell but
can remember'some kindness shown
to one of their members at the
hands of Mrs. Mcmahon. How
often has she knelt at the bedside
of those who were sick unto death
and repeated the lltany Of the dy.
ing. Deceased was a member of
the Catholic Church. and died for.
tilted by the last beautiful rites of
her beloved church. Rev. Father
Dorbin oficiatcd at the funeral,
which took place Sunday, Nov. 8.
and was one of the largest funerals
ever witnessed in our town Mrs.
Mcmahon was the mother of twelve
nine of whom survive
her. AS q wife, she was all one
could desire; as a mother, she was
ever watchfnl and self-sacri6cing;
ne a friend, to know her was TO
love her.
Mr.. McM1hon and bis children
have the sympathy of their mauy
friends. May her soul rest in peace.
