1T HAS A HEART.
Rock Island Railway Sends COloredl
Widow n Big Check

The Alma Enterprise publishes the fol-
lowing story about the kindness of rail-
road company to an old coiored woman:
You hear 1t said frequently and you
read it more often. that 4 railroad cor
poration has no heart or soul, but some
thing occurs once in q while to prove diff
ferently. Here is an instance right close
at home that shows how untrue the
statement is.
Joe Simpson. the old colored man
whom everybody here knew so well. was
killed by an engine on the railroad track
here December S. He was buried on
December-6 and on December S. the Rock
Island sent his widow a check for $3.50.
THE company was under no legal or
other obligation to pay this They were
in nowise to blame for the accident or
his death. Yet they freely and generous
ly contributed this amount to an old COL
ored woman to help her in her sorrow and
misfortune. There could be no mercenary
motive behind the act. for she has neithe-
influence nor business to give them in &c
turn. 1t was free will Offering on their
part and utterly refutes the statement
that corporation has no heart or SOUL
