Mr. F. M. LITTRELL�s 3,000 pounds of cotton stored in a house
        in the yard was being loaded into a wagon by his two
        little boys. The boys did not want to work in the dark
        and procured a lamp. A dispute arose over who would work
        while the other held the lamp. A scuffle ensued and the
        lamp was dropped in the cotton. The top of the cotton
        was charred very badly but with the aid of water and
        neighbors, only about 50 pounds of  cotton were burned.
Harrold, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. James KENNEDY met a
        tragic death last Friday morning. The little fellow was
        near Mr. Sam WAGGONER�s engaged in play with other
        little boy�s on the road side. A log had been placed
        along the edge of the ditch to stop the wash and was
        pushed by one of the boys and it rolled over Harrold.
        Mr. WAGGONER�s boy ran to get help. Mr. and Mrs. KENNEDY
        were notified of the accident and soon arrived. The
        child was not quite dead but died before they reached
        home with him. A physician found that his neck had been
        broken. The family are almost wild with grief over this
        affair. The remains were laid to rest Saturday morning
        at Amyers graveyard.
