AUBRY RICE KILLED. A Most Exemplary Young Man Cut Dot Tn in His Young Manhood \ Without One Moment's Warning While in the Discharge of His Duties as Railroad Clerk. j A HEAD-ON COLLISION. Our town was shocked when it was learned that Mr. Jacob Rico had just received a tolegram-Monday morningannouncing that his youngest sou, Aubry had been killed in a wreck on the P. O. <fc P. Division of the Seaboard Air lino rail road, at Limerick, a station some twenty five miles below savannah. The remains wore taken to Savannah and there prepared for burial by the Masons and sent to Union where they arrived Tuesday morning. Mr, Rice's remains were in charge of his brother Mr. John Rico, who is also a railway mail clerk and ho and his deceased brother occupies the same home at Jacksonville. The wives of the deceased and his brother were notified, and they arrived in Union Wednesday. As near as wo could gather the particulars of the wreck were as follows : The vestibule, on its way from Jacksonville to Savannah, running about GO miles an hour had received orders to meet, and pass a rock train, hauliDg rock to Jacksonville, at a station named "Burroughs," which is a flag station, at which passanger trains only stop on signal,the engineer and conductor of the rock train had received similar orders, but had made an error in reading, and mistook "Burroughs" for another station further down the lino. This train passed Burroughs and was running to make the station they thought the orders called for when the terrible crash come. The engineer and fireman, it is said, jumpped when they saw a collision was inevitable, the engineer and fireman on the rock*t rain were slightly injured. The two engines came together with a terrible crash, and were both totally wrecked. The rock train, being heavily loaded with rock, offered the greatest resistance, and the passenger train sustained the most damage. The mail car, which was next the engine, was mashed into kindling wood only a small portion of the top remained intact, while the baggage car which was next was badly wrecked. It is said that every Pullman car on the train was more or less damaged. Mr. Rice, all unconscious of the terrible doom just ahead, was in his closed car, working out and arranging his mail, when lie felt the brakes go down hard. He attempted to leach the door, but too late, the fatal crash had come. lie was fiually rescued from under neath the debris, an examination was made but it was found that 110 bones had been broken, and only a slight bruise was discovered on his cheek, but the tenible jar, and pressure 01 the broken timbers lyiug upon him caused internal bemorhage, from which he died in one hour ami eight miuutes after being taken out of the wreck, he was perfectly consicious f/\ tlto dml ariH aoirl Ka folt n/\ mdn 'PI... tv VIIU vuu uuu I1U &VIU L'U ^aill, JL tin wreck occurred before daylight Mouday morning. A special train was at once sent out from Savannah carrying Physicians, to render all possible assistance Mr. Rice was in his 20th year. He would have been 30 years old had he lived untii next September. He was a most exenplary and worthy young man, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of his employers. He was married about six years ago, and leaves a wife and an infant child three months old. He has been in the service of the Government as railway clerk something over eight years. His|firet run was ou the Narrow Gague road between Chester and Lenoir, from this run he was promoted to the Southern, between Charlotte and Atlanui, and lastly to the Seaboard, running from Jacksonville, Florida to Columbia S. C. which run he has been on since last March. Mr. Rice carried a $2,000 insurance policy in the Railway Mail Clerk's Insurance Co. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Chester and had advanced to the "Shnuers" degree. The remains were iniered in the old cemetery beside those of his mother Wednesday afternoon at o'clock, A large number of friends were present at the burial services. The funeral service was conducted in the Baptist Church in a very touching and impressive manner by Rev. L M. Rice, his pastor. The burial was 3011 uuuwxi uj iiiv lurtouua. lurio woo <i very large audience at both ceremonies His father-in-law and brother-in-law from Cheater attended the funeral services. The Masonic pallbearers were Capt. E. B. Chase, F. P. Yates, Ceo. YV. Goings, C. H. Foater, Dr. I. M. Hair and T. M. McNeace We have known Mr. J. Aubry Rico for a number of years and considered him one of the most exemplary young gentlemen of our acquaintance Besides his wife and child he leaves father, brother and mother-in-law, sister-in-law and a holt of sorrowing faiends young and old in Union to mourn his untimely end. We extend our most heartfelt sympathies to the family in this hour of their sad bereavement. As To Wants. Do you want to buy anything that some one else has for sale?

Some one started a report in town that the Union Hardware Co. was going to sell out and quit business. Upon inquiry Mr. Fred Garner, the manager, informs us that the report is an absurd falsehood and he did not understand why any one should have started such a report unless it was done with the intention of injuring his business. He says lie lias had a splendid and satisfactory trade and the business is here to stay. ? ? ?

' Mr. M. T. Black who was born and reared in Union county, but who twenty odd years ago went, west, returned to Union since Christmas and spent several weeks visiting his brothers in this and , Cherokee county. He spent some time at the home of his brother, Mr. W. A. , E. Black, near Union. He is very much pleased with his new home and judging from the returns from his crop of last year we can readily we why he should lie pleased. Here is what lie did with his crops cultivated with six mules. lie made and cribbsd over 3.0U0 bushels of corn, 3S? bales of cotton, trom his cotton crop ho banked $050 and kept out , enough besides to pay the running expenses of his farm this jvar and to pay the expenses incurred in his t rip to Union and return. When he left home corn was 85 cents per bushel and eveiything pointing to an advance to $i 00 per bushel. He left instructions with his son that as soon as corn did reach 51.00 a bushel to sell 1,000 bushels. lie says every farmer out there who will work is prosperous but there are laggards there as everywhere else. Mr. Black calculates upon realizing a prolit of $2,250 on his last year's crop. How is that for farming. m A Sudden Death Mr. S. J.
