trying to keep back some people who
were intent on crossing. He was stand
ing on the L. & N. track, and the con-
fusion and noise of the freight train

approach Of the incoming train, and as
he turned around to re-cross the track,
the engine Of the L. b N. struck him on
che head, knocking him from the track,
crushing his skull, breaking his back,
neck and leg, and killing him instantly
Mr.. Barrett was about 70 years Of age
an old Confederate soldier, a man oil
sobriety and correct habits, and as.
teemed by our people. His tragic death
is deeply regretted by all who knew
him.
He leaves wife and eight grown
children.
The funeral Of Mr.. Barrett took place
at the family residence on Monday
morning at 10 o'clock, conducted BY
Rev. w. L. Pierce of the Methods
