Next Year
(Special to The Sun)
ELLENBORO, Sept. 9. Ellen
lioro closed the baseball season to
day, by taking a double-header from
Waco by a large score. We have
had a fast team this season and most
every player has starred in some spe

Wilson, F. Byers, home runs; H.
Edwards, two base hits and fast
stealing; C. Wilson and C. Callahan
in 1 base hits and base stealing; G.
.Hamrick has been on short for two
reasons, and told the pitcher "To
stay in there," and by his witty talk
to the other players has been of con
siderable help towards keeping up
the moral of the team. With our
efficient battery, L. Green and Ed
wards, and with the assistance of L.
Jones, we have won 31 games out of
39, and have played every club in
"the county with the exception of one
or two, that have asked for games,
and have been very successful over
most of the clubs in the county,
taking one out of two games, and
-with others winning two out of thre
araes played.
We hope to see the team come
back early next season stronger than
-ever with the competent and skilful
management of the present manager.
We wish to thank our loyal sup
porters for their help in making this
-our most successful year in the
jgreat national game , of baseball.

LADY KILLED BY
SOUTHERN TRAIN
Miss Jennie Bell Keeter Steps
In Front Southern Train
Sunday Morning Funeral
Monday At Gilboa Church.
Miss Jennie Bell Keeter, white
lady of near Gilkey, age 49 was kill
ed by South bound Southern Train
No. 114 Sunday morning early, be
tween here and Gilkey. It seems
that her mind was not normal Sat
urday night. She did not sleep any.
She walked through the house and
yard all night and was very nervous.
She disappeared Sunday morning a
bout daylight. The engineer on the
Southern says he saw her 400 or
50 Oyards away and that she was
walking beside the track. He blew
his whistle twice. As the train got
near her, she stepped in front of it
and threw up her hands. It was im
possible to stop the train before she.
was hit.
She was knocked off the track but
her body was not mangled. Her left
arm and shoulder were broken. The
train stopped and brought her to the
depot here. The undertaker was
called and the Southern guaranteed
most of her burial expenses. She
died soon after reaching the depot.
Her people agree that the railroad
was not in fault' but that she was al
together to blame for the horrible
affair. As to just why she did so
peculiar will likely never be known.
She seemed to be normal until Sat
urday. She made her home with her sis,
ter, Miss Delia Keeter and nephew,
Mr. Thad Keeter. She leaves a sis
tr and brother, Mr. Geo. W. Keeter
(Bud) who lives on the place, and a
large number of friends and rel
atives. She was a faithful member
of Gilboa Methodist church. She
knew ber. ; Funeral services wer$ l
conducted Monday afternoon, two
o'clock by her . pastor, Rev. E. -N.
Crowder. A large crowd of sorrow
ing friends attended.
The six sons of Mr. W. M. Spratt,
closest neighbor of the deceased act
ed as pall bearers. This was unu
sual for six brothers to be pall
bearers at a neighbor's funeral.
