SHOCKING TRAGEDY
NEAR CENTRAL CHURCH.
M.
LITTLE LULA PARKELL ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT FATALLY By Her BROTHER.

A shocking and heart-rending
accident occurred Tuesday
morning eight miles east of town
j near Central church, causing
the death of Lula Parnell, the
five-year-old daughter of Mr W
III Parnell, of that section.
{ The cause of the accident
seems to have been that most
deadly weapon of destruction,
the s'unloaded" gun.
Mr. and Mrs Parnell had lie t
home early in the morning TO
come to Kingstree, leaving the
children at home. Between s and
9 O'Clock. Brantford Parnell,
aged nine years,got his single bar
relied gun and started out bird
shooting. While he was in the
yard his sister, little Lula,
climbed upon the grape arbor
and with childish artiessness
called out, "Shoot me, Brant-
ford" An older brother, Hoyt.
who was in the piazza, heard the
child and cried out to Brantford
that the gun was loaded, but
the latter thought he said it
was not loaded, and aiming at
the little girl, pulled the trig-
ger. The whole load of shot
penetrated the left side OF the
abdomen, tearing a hole through
which the lntestines protruded,
and causing the child's death
in about ten minutes.
The older boy, Hoyt, with all
y ossible haste, saddte6 a horse
ode to Kingstree to bring
- terrible news to the afflicted
parents and to secure a physi-
clan. But before the doctor
could get there the, little ones
spirit had passed beyond the
portals of earth. Mr Parnell
and his family have the sympa-
thy of every one in their be-
reayement.
The funeral services will take
place at Cedar Swamp Metho-
tdist church this morning.
