A very sad occurrence trans
pired at The -second rarlro&d

this (Saturday) morning in which
Mrs. Wm. N "Reaver was in
stantly killed by the train.
. The unfortunate lady w.as
standfng in the road talking with
some parties when No. 33, south
bound, dashed. plong. Tne hus
band was near the home somei
75 yards away at the time and
told the writer that he believed
that Mrs. Beaver suddenly lost
her nerve and in an instant tooki
the wrong direction to get out J
of the way of the train.
Mrs. Beaver was. a stout lady,
weighing probably more than
240 pounds.
The body lay about 70 yards
from the crossing. It was not
run over, but the momentum of
the train fractured the skull and
dashed the vital organs out and

. Her love for us was beyond
measure and seemed even
greater that . she cherished
for her grandchildren.. Mammy
settled most of our 'difficulties,
always taking the part of the
oppressed turning on theoppres-
sor with terrible threats, no J
matter which of us it happened!
to be. Her threats, however,
were never carried into execu
tion. . My propensity for eating
up the bird's share of the curd
she made daily for my
brother's mocking bird troubled
her greatly, for she always
divided it with me but when my
brother held me to account for
my offense and. when things
were getting pretty serious for
me, she immediately espoused

children of today knowjiothing
about the joys attending a
befo' de war hog killing." so it
would have been a
matter to determine which was
happiest mammy, .Auijt Becky,
the colored babies or I.
I can never forget how
tenderly mammy tried to sooth
my childish grief whefn my nurse
was married to one of the plan
tation men and became a plantat
ion darky horself. I wept and
refused to bo comfortod. I was 800 different cftloas in Jap Fans, real

ankle was broken more than half
off without apparent bruise or
cut but just as a break. There
were many other bones broken
in q body and it was almost
severed at the waist.
The body and all fell to the
right of the train. t . She was
crossing from the west side and
arms would gather me in and
say: "Go long dare now, boy,
I jiss dassent you to tech my
chile."
It was mammy who tied up all
our little stumped toes with
soot and turpentine and . who
respectfully but bravely pleaded
evidently had not gotten half 1KJ1 ua ss jr
ay across. .well-merited punishment from
A negro woman, who was with & xh mamui..,
her, just barely escaped before raa ""

her.
There being eye "witnesses the
body was removed by tender
hands and put on a temporized
bier and carried to the home
without holding an inquest.
Every particle of the body was
gathered up with sacred care
and placed under trje spread that
hid the mangled form from pub
lic gaze. Superintendent D'Brion
quickly had cloths spread along
to.cover he traces of the terri
ble tragedy before removing and
body was removed,
whfin the
triends quickly gathered clay
from the bank and 'buried out of
sigiit the blood stained -path of
the horrid tagedy.

was Miss Mary Alice liost,
daughter of the late Daniel Bost
.and sister of our townsmen,
Messrs. AG and D L Bost.
She was the mother of eleven
children, six sons and five
daughters, several of whom are
grown.
Mrs. Beaver was a consistent
scolded lustily when " "Miss
Ltzzie" would keep giving
provisions to "dem po'. white
trash," a class all repectable
slaVes held in profound con
tempt. "Po' wtfite trash" and
"free niggers" wer mammy's
pet abominations.
, Loifg ago " 'lection day" was
a long holliday Jor all the blacks,
not that they voted in those
days, of course, but .it was a
holiday they all enjoyed. It was
a great day for mammy and for
me. All the plantation darkies
came to. tcfvvn in wagons and
carts and brought every blessed
Lpicftaninny along. Mammy
the
lurbaned guardian of the plan
tation children, would have a
long day together.
While the others were taking
in the town, these old women,
with happy faces and holiday
growns. stayed at home to mind
the babies and talk, while
When her little boy was born
I bid to name him as soon as I
heard the news, and mammy
said ot course 1 should, and as
Caroline was more than pleased
to give me this pleasure,
unhesitatingly named him
'Jmes Beauregard," for the two
greatest heroes (in my eyes) of
the confederate army mv big
"bubby," who was .a major, and
General Beauregard.-
It' was during those stormy
scenes that mammy showed her
strength.
I do not know what my mother
would have done without this
faithful friend, my father being
away in Jthe confederate
congress, and after the news of
a battle, oh! the long weary
days and interminable nights of
anxiety for her three boys in
the front.
