killed by train No. 88 ae it came
into the yard this morning. Mr.
Dunaway was going from thenfTio*

track with bis head down, and
when in a few step* of tbe engine,
stepped on the trauk, seemingly
not knowing the train was ap
liroaohing. The engineer reversed
bis engine and did all he could to
«top the train, bat the diets nee
wee tow short. With the* excep
tion of tbe left srm being broken
sud a bruise on the side of the
head there were no extern*! in

knocked the man to on*- side sod
off the track and hu never railed
from the shock, dying iii CO min

Mr. Outline ia too well known to
require tuiy commendation* from
us. Mr. T. T. Lucas, though a
comparative atrmugar here, ia a
gentleman who will need no in
troduction after yon know biiu.
We have known hint from a boy.
He came from noble parentage,
and ia a firai-claaa man. These
gentlemen deevrve a good patron
age—they respectfully uak for it,
atul they will get it.
Now the question ia, who will
offer the beat inducement* for the
scattering shekel* left over from
the last crop? Judicious, liberal
adwrtisers will get thuw. Of
euurse, those who have no induce
ment* to offer, and arw too inde
pendent to seek custom, will not
be expected to advertise, and will
be allowed to ait back in the oool
while bustler* will ruap the har
vest. Go reader, to our advert ia
era, if youwaut fair dealing and
good money value.
