YOUNG USSERY
MEETS ACCIDENT
Receives Injury in Head That
Proved Fatal.

A most deplorable accident
befell Mr.. Harry Ussery las.
Friday morning at $50 O'Clock,
from which he died Saturday af-
ternoon at 5 30 O'Clock.
Harry Ussery was the 21-year
old son of Mr.. w. L. Ussery, a
popular conductor of the South
ern Railway, and was flagman
on freight train when he met
his fate. 1t seems that the train
on which he was tagging stopped
in siding at Mathiston to let
passenger train No. 81 going
west have the main line, and as
the passenger was a little long
in passing, Mr.. Ussery layed
down between the side track and
the main line, with his head rest
ing on the ties as a pillow. He,
being tired from loss of sleep,
dozed and was only awakened
by the noise of the approaching
passenger, which by this time
was on him. In a half dazed
condition he raised his head
and was struck on the left aide
directly over the ear by the sand
pipe of the engine, crushing the
skull. Engineer Brown who
was in charge of the engine pull
ing the passenger train, saw Mr..
Ussery close to the track as he
approached, and attempted 10
stop his engine, but having a
good down grade run, only sue
ceeded in doing so after the train
had passed.
The wounded young man
was brought to Columbus on the
1905 p. m. train Friday and
conveyed to the Columbus Hos
pital, where an operation was
found necessary.
The funeral will take place
this afternoon at 4:3O O'Clock
from the First Baptist Church,
Rev. w. A. Hewitt officiating.
Conductor Ussery and family
have the sympathy of the entire
community in this sad accident.

modern Sampson. But while in

we dropped old Hercules and
wanted to die worth half a mil

soling thought played over our
brain as fire would play over an
old field, exterminating all
thoughts of wealth, and then took
the flattering JUNCTION TO our souls
that it was better to live poor and
sleep than to be rich and suffer
insomnia and probably land in
the insane asylum. Moreover
these poor rich people suffer
from somnamlbulism. They are
walking about the streets when
they ought to be at home with
their families when their wives
are ignorant of their where

We have some "somnambu-

there is no excuse for their
