first it could hardly be realized. Be

Monday eveing when we heard that
Frank Baxter was killed in railroad
wreck we couldn't believe it. Very
few of those who had seen him that
morning knew that he had gone Oh
the train This one death would have
been bad enough. but when the force
of the fact that others from Newberry
had shared the same fate brought the
realization home the contemplation
was saddening and depressing. no.
alone to the families bereaved but to
the community at large, and the city
was bathed in grief and gloom. AS
the local correspondent Of the State
says: There is widespread sorrow
over the death of Alderman Frank
Baxter; a jovial generous man, al
ways ready to lend a hand in a pro
gressive movement and to help thu
unfortunate and needy There are
many tears shed to his memory.
In connection with this notice we
cannot do better than TO quote the
