CAB JUMPED THE TRACK.
SeabOard Caboose Turned Over Near
Dawson. Conductor and Flag
man Escaped Unhurt.

A Seaboard Air Line freight train
which left Richland for Albany We'd
nesday morning met with an unusual
accident. About two miles above
Dawson the car next to the cab Jump
ed the track and turned over carrying
the cab with it. Before turning, how
ever, the wheels bumped along over
the ties for hundred yards or more,
tearing up the track as they went,
Conductor Allen and the hagman were
in the cab at the time, and strange to
say were not hurt in the least, al
though the cab was turned completely
over and dragged for some distance.
The regular passenger train, which
was due in Dawson at 1886, was forced
to stop at this point and return to Co
lumbus, being unable to get by. This
freight engine, with two box cars
took the passengers and brought then
on.
The accident is supposed to have
been caused by the dropping of thu
brake to one of the cars.

You cannot have good health unless
your kidneys are sound, for the kid

which otherwise act as irritating
poisons and break down the delicate

IN MEMORY OF SrRs. b, F, SCOTT
A Friend Pays Loving Tribute to Her
Life and Character,

In this fearful moment 1t becomes
the sad duty OF friend to pay tribute
to the memory of this beloved woman.
She was about thirty-fve years Of age,
and lived a most devout Christian
life. She was i'll just one week with
pneumonia. Everything was done
that physicians and loved ones could
do to restore her, but the extended
hand of God in His almighty wisdom
saw fit to claim her. She leaves
husband, three children, father and
many friends and relatives to mourn
her death. Although we mourn for
her we have not lost her entirely, for
when God calls our loved ones home
they live on earth in thought and
deed as truly as in Heaven.
Shewas one OfGOd' S brightest earth
stars, that was continually shedding
it's light. She was always cheerful,
and had a kind and inspiring word
for every one who came in contact
with her. She had a most gentle
heart, and was ever ready to do little
deeds of kindness and love within her
reach. She was always willing and
anxious to lend helping hand to the
suffering. The example of her pa
thence, her love and her cheerful
ness should be taken up at once.
Although she has left US, may the
memory of her many deeds of kind
ness ever be green.
In her home she was a constant
light, guiding in the right way the
willing feel of her loved ones. She
was devoted wife, tender mother
and a most loving daughter She
was kind and hospitable to every one
who breathed the sweet atmosphere of
her home.
One less at home!
The charmed circle is broken;
A dear face missed day by day from its accus-
toned place.
But cleaned and saved and perfected by grace,
One more in heaven
One more at home!
That home where separation cannot be;
That home whence none is missed eternally'
Lord Jesus grant us all place with Thee,
At home in heaven A FRIEND.
