and three children, Of Korea. arrived
in Walhalla Monday and will spend
this week here visiting at the home
of the formers parents, DR.. and Mrs.
j. l.. Stokes. Rev. NJ. b. Stokes has
been for a number of years engaged
in foreign missionary work Of the

his wife left America seven years
ago as bride and groom, going direct

first visit to America since they took

Last Saturday morning, Just as
the Blue Ridge passenger train was
leaving Walhalla, what might have
been fatal accident occurred, when
the train ran into a horse belonging
to Jas. S. Rutledge at the crossing on
Ann street. This crossing is three
blocks from the Blue Ridge depot.
and how the accident happened is
mystery, as the track is clear and
straight from the depot to the corpo-
rate limits or town, and trains are in
plain view all the way for a quarter
of mile. Mr.. Rutledge's horse was
killed outright, the wagon smashed
to pieces, but Mr. Rutledge escaped
serious injury. We are informed that
he suffered a broken rib in the
smash-up, and the injury was, pain-g
ful, but he was game to the core,
walking from the scene to his home
after he was hurt. His friends sym
pathize with him in his loss and in
sury, but rejoice with him over his
almost miraculous escape with his
life
News reached Walhalla yester-
day afternoon Of the death OF Miles
O'Eelley, who resided at the home Of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Benz. f.
O'Kelley, about two miles from West
Union. Death came during Tuesday
afternoon, following an illness which
had lasted during all OF this year,
though he managed all along to be
up at times to assist his aged par
ents, both of whom have been i'll for
months. Mr.. O'Kelley was about SO
years of age and had never married.
He was the youngest living child.
He is survived by his aged parents,
one brother, John O'Kelley, and
three sisters, Mrs. p. G. Allen, Of
| Walhalla, and Mrs. Semanthe Gibson
and Mrs. Alethia Watkins, of the
county. Mr.. O'Kelley was a hard
working, energetic man. and highly
respected and Christian citizen. The
bereaved ones have the sympathy Of
many in their sorrow. The funeral
ard intcrment will take place this
afternoon, we are informed, but the
hour has not been decided upon. 1t
is a peculiarly sad circumstance that
both parents of the deceased are now
| almost totally helpless. Mrs. O'Kel-
ley late last year sustained injuries
from fall, from which she has never
recovered, and MI O'Kelley was
stricken with paralysis only few
days ago, both being now helpless.
They are about 80 and SS years OF
age. They have the deepest sympa-
thy OF many friends in their sorrow
and afIliction.
There are many friends here
and elsewhere who will feel a deep
interest in the marriage, which oc-
Cured yesterday (Tuesday) after
noon at $50 o'clock at the home of
