A sad accident occurred last We'd
nesday on the farm of Mr.. B. D.
Kitchings. A negro, who was
working for him, was riding a mule
from the field to the barn when the
mule became frightened, throwing
the negro off. As he fell, his foot
became entangled in the gear, and
the mule ran until the negro was so
terribly bruised and mangled that
he died soon after.
