Funeral.
The funeral services of the late
Mrs. C. A. Perkinson took place this
morning at 10 o'clock, from the First
Presbyterian church, Revs. Dr. Hall
and Watkins officiating. There was
a large crowd in attendance and
the floral offerings were beautiful

C. B. Edwards, F. Redford, E. H.
Holleman, Geo. Thompson, Walter
Parker, T. W. Blake, Herbert Jack
son and W. W. Upchurch.
This is indeed a uot lamentable
affair and has cast a deep gloom over,
not only the relations of the deceased
but upon the community. "Will"
was a most promising young man
and an especial favorite of all
who knew him. The remains ar
rived in this city at 11:30 o'clock this
morning.
At this writing we are not iu pos
ses.-ion of fu'l particular. of the accident.
FURTHKR PARTICULARS.
The remains were accompanied to
this city this morning by Mr. John
G. Williams, a brother of the de
ceased, and Mr. Don Woodell. They
were met at the depot by the follow
ing young gentlemen who had been
selected as pall bearers: Messrs. W.
R. Tucker, J. F. Brown, J. Turner, J.
M. Marshall, Edgar Haywood and W
B. Grimes.
The procession was formed and the
body was taken to the First Baptist
church from whence the funeral took
place this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
To Mr. Don Woodell we are in
debted for the following particulars
of the sad accident: It happened
about 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon at a place called Sandy river,
on the G , C. & N. Railroad. The
afternoon was very hot and young
Williams sought refuge from the sun
by going under one of the coaches of
a train standing on the track, where
he laid down and fell asleep. His
presence there was not known to
the .engineer, and soon after the
train was backed, running over the
young man. His left lung was badly
crushed and two of his ribs and the
right leg broken. He was taken in
charge and every effort made to save
his life, but in vain, as he died after
two hours suffering.
Mr. Williams, we learn, was undergo
ing a complete routine to fit him for
the position of an engineer, and was
acting as firemen. It is said that he
had exhibited such proficiency that
he would soon have been put in
charge of a locomotive.
As we go to press the funeral is in
progress at the First Baptist church
attended by a large crowd of relatives
and friends. Loving bands bestowed
garlands of beautiful flowers to deck
his casket and sympathetic hearts
bore testimony of ihe high esteem in
which he was held.
To the stricken mother brother and
sisters of the lamented young man,
the Visitor tender its sincere sym
pathy. On account of the rain we will con
tinue the sale of those misses black
ribbed hose, the regular 25 cent gools
at 10 cents all day tomorrow as many
people were prevented today by the
rain from getting them, and t-B this
sale is purely au advertisement, we
want all !o have an opportunity of
getting some of them.
On Monday we -v ill offer the great
est special sale we have ever had. A
lot of 600 dozen of the very nicest oil
window shades, worth from 75 cents
to $2 00 each. On Monday we will
sell these goods at 50 cents each, com

Fourth of July.
There was another meeting of the
4th of July committee at the Mayor's
office yesterday afternoon at which it
was decided to request the Board of
Aldermen to appoint a committee of
three from the Board to act in con
junction with the citizens committee
and proposed that Mayor Badger be
the chairman of the joint committee.
It was also decided to ask the Board
to contribute $150, and that the com
mi t tee raise a like amount or more
It is hardly necessary we presume
to urge upon the Board of Aldermen
the necessity of acting upon the re
quest made, as no doubt they will
see it for themselves. The people
want a glorious old fashioned celebra
tion of our National Independence
day, and no one we presume would
object to the small outlay asked for.
Let the board attend promptly toth
matter at their meeting tonight.
