DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.



(Unknown) In Which A Precious Life Is Lost.



"In the midst of life we are in death," is an old maxim, yet a true one,
which was clearly demonstrated in our quiet little village last Saturday
evening, by the death of Mrs. Nannie Noel, one whom to know was to love.
Her everyday walk was such as to clearly define her many Christian
virtues.



Last Saturday morning, after her household duties had been attended to,
she, in company of Miss Dora Brown, set out for a day of recreation, by
attending the Paris fair. Securing, as they thought, the gentlest and
trustiest horse they knew of, they drove overland a distance of twelve
miles. After taking in all the sights and enjoying the company of her
host of Paris friends, she started homeward, full of life, full of hop,
full of anxiety. Anxious to meet the one she had promised, a short
while before, to share his lot, for better or worse, and bear the glad
tidings to him, of how many, many pretty things she had seen. On her
way home, little did she dream of the approaching danger, and another
maxim was written in the drama:



"So near and yet so far."



Almost at the day's journey's end, yes, almost home! Just outside of
the corporate limits of Madison stood a mover's wagon, at the sight of
which, the animal they were driving, became frightened and wheeling
suddenly around, one wheel, on the side of the driver, Miss Brown, was,
on (dropped) in a hollow and caused her (unknown) her balance, and
suddenly (unknown) (her) headlong." (rest of article missing).
