(PROM OCIl BEGVLAR COR HI .VONf 1.] "Crutu Able is dead. tie was struck by tlie ft o'clock train ami killed.' This news was >; cad over town liki nil electric fl.isli. Never be tore In tin history of Leesville did the town oxjierier.ee audi u severe shock. Every b? art throbbed with a pang for every man, woman and child in town loved Cruin Able. It in no exaggeration t? ?ay that he was the nt >st popular man in town ntul the surronding country lie was a familiar figure on the st-eot* mini nt every gathering What I.msville will he without him it is hard tc imagine. The effect of his death will be very serious. He bad ? large and Hourislitng busi ess nod was in hts usual good henltli and jolly spirits. It would be entirely useless to give nit) account of the man's life to the readerof The Adv? cite for everybody knev* loved him. He went ? ut .to Sunday School an vautiiug at the Baptist church, li< church, Sunday evening and taiigi iiis elas< as usual After preaching lie walked home with his frieuels in more expecting that his end was nearer than anyone else, lie walked out about dark to see one of his tenant* Upturning he was walking in the middle of the railroad trunk just lielow l>r. Crosson's. '1 he engineer 01 tin six o'clock train says he saw mm inn fully expected liitn to step oft". ll?blew the signal but Mr. Able panl tin attention whatever. When lie saw that he was in great danger In-attempted to stop his train but too late. .Vr Able was struck in the hack and kiilctl instantly. He was knocked out in tin ditch dead. Nobody saw the tragedy except tin engineer. A negro was very nea? but behind by spot, "e ran to tin ? woo directly in front of his (prrxrosson's] gate. He found him dead, and says that death was instantaneous. He was terribly bruised and broken. Tin whole town was on the spot in fifteen minutes, si rapidly did the news fly. Mr. Abie's body was tenderly carried to his home rear h\ . The outside world tnav conclude thai it is a plain case of suicide, hut titer* is not a shadow of suspicion in the miud|of Mr. Ab'e's friends here in town who knew ami saw him every day and thoroughly i nderstaiul all the surrounding circumslafu e> th.it it Wat suicide. It is one of tlm.-e mysteries that will nevet he understood. It would be useless to speculate in theories. He must have been > ? absorbed in thought thai he either did n?t rtalize that lie was on the I rack or that the train was so near. A euro urn inquest uiet Monday and lotind the facts as stated above. Mr. Able was buried Tuesday at 11 o'clock from the Haptist church in llie Lutheran Cemetery. 11m funeral was preached by bis pa-tor, 1 ?r. A. C.
