A Sad Accident.

On Monday, Jan. -, Charles
Redward, while following his daily
pursuit of cutting timber, was struck
by a Ii nb from a falling tree, and
died in a few minutes after the ar
rival OF a physician. He was never
conscious after being struck.
This young man was twenty-five
years old and lived at Vernon, Ala.
He was at the time working at Tay-
ior's saw mill. None of his rela-
tives reached him before the end
came.
His was a sunny temperament,
always cheerful, kind and optimis-
tic, rendering him a most delight
ful companion and greatly endear-
ing him to all with whom he came
in contact His good nature and
joviality were an inspiration to all
who knew him. He was known,
loved and revered by everybody,
young and Old, and his hearty and
ever cheerful greetings will be sadly
missed.
Quite a number of friends and
acquaintances assembled to render
every possible assistance.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather and the unusually bad con-
ditiOn of the roads, despite the high
esteem and love in which the de-
ceased was universally held, only a
few accompanied the remains which
were taken to his native state and
home for interment.
We extend to the loved ones and
friends of the deceased our heartfelt
sympathy. All are reminded that
ever in life we are in the midst OF
death and that the deceased has
only paid debt which we, too,
shall some day, sooner or later, be
called upon to pay.
His MANY FRIENDS.
