/ Hard upon the heels of the an

comes the report that this Inc may
be extended from Columbia to Cent? g.

ty capital to Columbia which will con.
meet with the Nashville & Columbia

ed when the new Columbia & Nash

but Meade Frierson, general manager
of the Nashville & Franklin interur-
ban, upon his recent visit to Columbia
to look over the situation declared
that the trucks and busses for the Co
lumbia and Franklin run have been or
dered and should be here before much

Passenger busses which have been
plying all the way between Columbia
and Nashville during the state fair
have carried good loads despite the re

OF course 1925 corn is not Il record
since there are plenty of farmers and
business men here who have a vivid
recollection of it's having sold at as
low as 81 in the late eighties and early

About the time the world war ended

LITTLE ONES ALONE Al TIME;
No One Else In Room When Aeeident
Took Place But LITTLE Brother and
Sister and Details Probably Never
Be Known. .r

One Of the saddest accidents that ev,
er occurred in that section resulted In
the death on wednesday afternoon of
Louis Ingram, the three year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Ingram, near
Mooresville, just over the Marshall
county line The little fellows head
was blown off by charge from Il
double barrel shot gun with whichrha
is supposed to have been playing. No
one was in the room at the time the
tragedy occurred except the dead boy,
his seven year old brother, Dan, and
a little sister four. The little brother
and sister could give no coherent ac-
count of how the killing took place.
The little boy Dan was SO badly fright;
ened by what occurred that he imme-
diately ran away and hid himself and
was not found for nearly half an hour
after the accident, adding still further,
to the"anguish Of his crazed parents.
On the night before Mr.. ingram had
heard a disturbance amonk his fowls
at the barn and had loaded his shot
gun and gone down to investigate. He
did not use the gun and on his return
to the house did not take out the load.
In cleaning up the room next morning
Mrs. Ingram simply placed the gun In
the corner where 1t was accustomed
to stay, not knowing that it was still
loaded shf@ h
1t is assumed that the little children
were playing with the gun and wether
or not one Of them accidentally pulled
the trigger or whether 1t was knocked
over in way to discharge the load
will probably never been known.
The dead boy was bright little fell
low and his parents, who until a year
or two a go lived in the Cufleoka sec.
tion, have the sympathy Of scores of
relatives and hundreds of friends The
funeral services were held at Moores-
vile this afternoon at o'clock and
were conducted by Rev. W. o. Largen,
