--MR. J. D. CROW ACCIDENTLY KILLED LAST SATURDAY--

This community was shocked last Saturday afternoon when it was announced that Mr. J. D. CROW had been knocked down and killed, by the passenger train on the B. & N. W. railroad. The accident occurred about 4:30 p. m., two miles east of Bells. Mr. CROW was on his way home from Bells on the track and being practically deaf, did not hear the train as it approached. He was on the side near the rail, and it is a little singular that there was no bruise that he was hit with any force. Evidently fright, shock of the engine and the fall caused his death. Mr. CROW was a good true citizen and leaves many loved ones who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their loss.
