A sad and horrible accident Oc-
Cured Wednesday evening at 7:30
o'clock when Lester Earle Estes, the
two year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jim Estes was run over and killed
by street car in front of the Estes
home on North Eighteenth street
just off College street.
Both trucks of the street car pass.
ed over the body of the little fellow
and death was instant. His body was
horribly mangled a,nd crushed by the
heavy wheels grinding over the ten
der little form.
The car was in charge Of Motorman
Burley McManus, who is held blame
less for the horrible accident. The
little boy, it is said, ran from the
front gate of the yard on to the
tracks so close to the moving car that
is was impossible to stop it in time
to save him.
Mrs. Estes was seriously i'll at the
time the accident occurred. The little
boy had had supper and was going
to neighbor's to play Before leav-
ing the house he went to his mothers
bedside and kissed her and ran out
Of the house to play, and in an in
stant he was under the grinding
wheels of the street car and life was
gone.
The accident was witnessed by Mr..
John Northcut, an uncle Of the IN
fortunate little fellow. When he saw
the impending danger he yelled to
the motorman to stop his car, but it
was too late.
The little body was carried to the
undertaking parlors IF Gunter Bros,
on College street where it was pre-
pared for burial
The father of the unfortunate child
is an employee of the Southern Rail
way and is well known and highly es-
teemed, and the sympathy of the com
munity is extended to him and his
wife in their sad bereavement
The funeral which was conducted
by Rev. r. S. GAVIN, pastor Of the
First Baptist church, was held at
, o'clock Thursday afternoon. Inter
ment occurred at Beersheba cemetery
in the eastern section Of the county.

MAY GET NEW
PHONE SERVICE
Postal May Install Long Distance
Service Here.-Big Saving In
Rates

Columbus may soon have a COM
pethg long distance telephone ser
vice. Through the entrprise of Mr.. h.
NJ. Yerby, local manager for the Pos
tai Telegraph Company, a move
ment has been launched here for the
installation of the Postal long dis
tance telephone service in this city.
Installation of the service means
saving of from 40 to go per cent
an toll rates as the Postal service is
this much cheaper than the Cumber-
land company's rates, it is said.
While the Postal service is not
universal and is limited in its scope.
it meets most of the long distance re-
quirements in the way of service,
especially for business firms. If a
sufficient number of subscribers can
be secured here the service will be
installed.
The Postal service is gradually be-
ing extended all over the South. In
Memphis the service has direct con
nection with the lines of the Mem
phis Telephone Co., thereby enabling
firms having large amount of long
distance business with Memphis tc
save at least 40 per cent Of theil
telephone tolls.
The finest apparatus and equip.
ment is used in the service and the
established telegraph wires of the
Postal company are used as connec
tions.

 At the latest Glazner should join the local team before July 1.
