CETS HI8 NECK BROKEN
BY BEING -THROWN FROM
WAGON.
Mules Gat Soared of Automo
bile and Buns oft? Mr. J.
West Sutton the Victim.
one of the saddest Incidents that has
happened ia our vicinity in many years
was that on last Friday evening when
Mr. J. West Suttoa, of Mash county,
was throws front h<s wagon in front of
the Ballard place about th'ee miles east
of town, by his males runn'ng away
after becoming frigntened at a paii.ui
automobile. In falling M-. Sutton fell
on Ins head and broke his neck- dying
almost instantly. Y.r. Sutton's home is
on the Louisburg a->d Nashville road
betweeu;Sp ing Hepe and Castslis and
he wis rettr aing home after having
sold a load of lobacce on the local mar
ket. He occupied th?' wagon alone,
however his son, Charlie, was driving a
wagon just ahead of him, also a friead
occupied still another wagon. He was
71 years 0/ age and leaves a wi'e and
six children. We understand the party
in the automobile was from Wilson's
Mills and were retura'jig from the f??
etal of Dr. J. H. U*zall wno ? as enter
ed at Mupleville that duy, b it th.it the
SOB aHribatM ao responsibility to the
part r as it is stated the mule became
frightened after the machine hail pass
ed and the ps,tv seeing thee was trou
ble stopped and went b?ck rendering
all the service it was possible for t'iem
to do.
TV? body was brought back to Loeis
burg and taken to the under' aking es
tahlishment of the W. E. White Furni
ture Co., where it was prepared for bur
ial and was taxen to the home that
rrglit, where the interment was made
on Siitu'day.
.V r. Su.Lon was in truth a good man
and h'?hl / respected by all who knew
him at) J in iiis death the community
loses much. The entire community to
geihtr with the citizenship of Louisburg
are ?ad on account ot nis untimely
death u nd extend to his bereaved fami
ly the deepest sympathy.

ful prayer hi which he made many beau
tiful reference* to the deceaaed. Alter
the prayer Rev. W. B. Morton, of
Louisburg read a selection from the
bible and the service* here were con
cluded by the singing of "Abide with
Me" bv the choir. At the crave the
usual Masonic service was useu and "Je
sus Lover of My Soul" and "Shall we
gather at the River" were sung by the
choir.
The extreme popularity of the de

the la*ge nurobet of friends and rela
tives present, which waa possibly the
largest ever present at such an occasion
at Mapleville, and the many beautiful
and expensive floral designs, which
pictured to those present a more strid
ing and devoted popular friendship than

they can aincerely extend the deepest
aympath" to the bereaved parents.

Siuce that time I have been freu
I from kidney coicplamt and backache
1 and during the past year I have had
no aeed of a kidney medisine what
ever. The seoretions from my kid
neys rausad me great annoyance and
I suffered from dull baokaohes and
pains through my loins. I sow'd not
sleep soundly and in the morning
when I got up, my back was Very
lame and sore. I read about Doan'g
Kidney Pills and as I knew several
parties who had used them with
benefit, I finally began their use.
This remedy was tar more effective
than any other I had eTsr used and
it was not long before I felt like a
different person." I>.i
