Flagman George Long Killed.
One of those distressing accidents
peculiar to railroading occurred on the
C. F. & Y. V. near Summertield Sun-day
morning, resulting in the death of
one of the company's most efficient and
trustworthy men, Mr. George Long,
whose home was near the scene of the
deplorable occurrence.
Mr. Long was a flagman on the
! freight which runs between this city
and Mt. Airy. Sunday morning about
live o'clock, as his train was ascending
a grade near Summertield a coupling
broke and he went forward to renew
it. The task was all the more difficult
because of the heavy grade,and he was
compelled to walk along between the
cars, which were constantly in motion.
Making a misstep he fell, his right leg
resting on the rail, and before the train
could be stopped the cruel wheels had
almost severed the limb near the hip,
leaving it hanging to his body connect-ed
by only a narrow strip of flesh. He
was at once brought to the city, and as
soon as he could be moved from the
station was taken to the Astley Cooper
hospital, where Drs. Michaux, Wilson
and Brooks made the utmost endeavor
to save bis life, but without avail.
Without regaining consciousness the
young man lingered until about one
o'clock, when the feeble spark of life
flickered for the last time and was gone.
Mr. Long's mother and brother and
Dr. Davis came to the city with him
and were by his side when the end
came. His remains were prepared for
interment and sent to Summertield,
where the funeral occurred Monday.
He enjoyed tbe esteem of his friends
and associates and his death is a source
of bitter sorrow to his family. His
age was about twenty-six years.
— We desire to c*ll your attention to
the Washington excursion, the adver-tisement
of which appears in this issue.
It is a delightful trip at a very low
price and gives two days and three
nights in Washington. The scenery
through the Shenandoah Valley is
beautiful at this season and Washing-ton
cannot be seen at a better time.
It goes June 1st and returns June 4th.
For schedule see the ad in this paper.
Mr. Conrad, who ran tbe excursion
from here last year over this route laal
fall which gave such entire satiafaction,
is at the head of this with bis nephew,
Dr. W. J. Conrad, In Winston. Those
who go will no doubt receive every
courtesy and needed attention.
Take Notice.
The Tax Listers for Gilmer and
Morehead townships will be found at
the office of \v. R. Land, in rear of the
Savings Bank, from June 1st to June
15th, and at the grand jury room from
June loth to June 30th next.
