was bad wreck. Some of the
wrecked cars were badly splinter

the firemen and engineers jump,

Lewis Moody, brakeman on the

are not considered dangerous.
His home isin Iuka. That there
was not more damage is miracu-

After about three years spent
in this little city. Mr.. Ieo. It. Kay
left last Saturday for other fields,
going directly to Cincinnati. lust

advised at this writing.
Mr.. Kay had been associated
with us about five years-at Col
lierville, Tenn, and in Iuka-and
our relations had ever been of a
most pleasant character and it was
like giving up one of our own fam
lily to have him go away. We
found him always a competent,
valuable and valued employee and
in all our long newspaper career
we never had anyone who looked
to our personal interest and paid
as much attention to our business
interests as he. In fact he took
as much interest in tue business
as if it were his own, and we com
mend him to the publishing and
printerial fraternity with pleasure.
Mr.. Kay is gentleman of pleas.

lenient to his foes, as true to his
friends as the needle to the pole, =
and honest to a fault" He made
scores of friends in Iuka, who like
us, regret his departure-and moi
an enemy that we have heard Of.
Our very best wishes go with
you, George. where er your lot
may be cast. May the winds Of
adversely or trouble, if they Should
strike you, do SO very gently, and
may the breezes of prosperity con-
tinually watt you to successful,
peaceful and prosperous goal. I'M
