A deplorable accident - On last Thursday evening near Gladis, on the Kentwood and Eastern Railroad, occurred a most deplorable accident. While the mail train was rounding a bend and running down an incline, Mrs. J.R. Hinson who was walking on the track was run over and killed.

As the train was descending an incline, the engineer is reported as saying that it was utterly impossible for him to slow up or stop after he saw the lady. She was knocked off the track and died after five minutes.
This is certainly the saddest happening in the history of this road, and the many friends of Mr. J.R. Hinson deeply sympathize with him in this greatest trial. Also with the son and daughter who are so grieved over this terrible accident. The funeral services were conducted Friday and interment took place the same day in the family graveyard.

Besides a husband, she leaves two children, a father, mother, several brothers and sisters, also a wide circle of friends who regretted to give her up. The funeral services were conducted by Rev.

The remains were laid to rest, Thursday in the family graveyard near Thomas Brumfield's. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G.P. White, pastor of the Kentwood charge.
Lula was in full bloom of beautiful womanhood, being about 22 years of age, and the very picture of health before she was taken sick. She was surrounded by a happy home and loved ones with a large circle of friends who loved her very dearly and will miss her sadly. She was the sunshine of the home and member of the Methodist church.
In rendering up of life she displayed a beautiful and wonderful degree of Christian faith in the dispensation of Providence. She expressed herself as willing to go, while, as she said, she had a happy home and kind and indulgent parents, brothers, and sisters, and friends whom she loved and for whose sake she would like to live, yet she was not afraid to die as she was assured of eternal rest in heaven. Sunday night before she died she called her parents, brothers, sisters, and the friends who were nursing her and kissed them all good bye, admonishing them to be good, and leave message to her brother in New York and other friends to show that she remembered them in the last hours of her life. The death of this beautiful girl whose brief life of joy and sunshine made her a favorite with her friends has cast a gloom over the community which will long be felt.
We sympathize deeply with the bereaved ones and bid them to live so that when they are called to go they will meet her in that bright beautiful home of the blest. Uncle Walt, Mt. Hermon, La. 1-28-1906

Saturday night killing. Last Saturday night, while several Negroes were engaged in crap game in the woods near Mr. Brant Bateman's place, about four miles west of Franklinton, a difficulty arose between Ned Brock and Jerouf Barnes, two of the crowd, which resulted in the killing of Barnes by Brock. It seems that the trouble grew out of an old grudge that the two held against each other, the results of a difficulty that occurred between the two about a year back. Brock used a 41-Colts revolver, hitting
Barnes five times. It is said that Barnes stated before his death that another of the crowd, Lee Brock, shot at time, but he (Barnes) did not think that Brock hit him. Ned Brock and the others of the crowd were brought here and placed in jail by Sheriff Magee Sunday. Bullet holes in the clothes of Brock after his arrest, however, proves that others were shooting besides himself.

A sad accident happened in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Pierson at Pinecliff on last Thursday when a bottle of poison tablets were mistaken by little Eleanor, age 2, and eaten for candy.
The child became violently ill immediately after eating the tablets, but rallied several times after the physician reached the bed-side and applied the prescribed remedies, at one time she being considered entirely out of danger.
The little on was relieved of her sufferings by death during the night and on Friday the body was brought to the home of her grandparents Mr. and Mrs. H.W. Magee, where it was watched over by loving family friends, and after a sweet comforting ceremony by pastor Kimberlin in the Baptist church on Saturday morning, was laid to rest in the Ellis Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Pierson and the entire Magee family have the deep sympathy of this community, little Eleanor being a great favorite in her grandfather's
home where most of life was spent.
