BURY TREES BY ERROR.
Mourners Sing and Pray All Night
Over Box of Pear Strplings.

Macon, Ga.-A crowd of griefstricF
en- colored people consigned an assign.
ment OF fine pear trees to grave at
Bowlingbroke. thinking they were the
remains of Tooger Adams, a negro
woman, who was stabbed by another
negro woman in Tybee.
The police, finding the dead woman
formerly lived in Bowlingbroke, mott.
fled the mourners that the remains
would be sent on an afternoon train.
When the box arrived containing the
pear trees it had so much the appear
ance OF a coffin case that the party
took charge. The negroes carried the
box to the home of relatives and sat
up, sang and prayed all night.
The word was out that the body was
terribly slashed by the woman's as.
sailant and for that reason the box
was not opened. At the hour for the
funeral the colored pastor had his
text: by their fruits We shall know
them Pallbearers, mourners and at
tendants, after the usual custom,
buried the pear trees.
When the next passenger train came
bearing the corpse and the funeral at
tendants were notified there was
amazement and surprise. Winship
Cabaniss, farmer found the mistake
when he made search for the pear
trees.
