LOCAL News

A painful accident happened to the little son of Mr. Marion Whitesides some 
days ago. By some means the child's hand was caught in a gin and the flesh 
lacerated almost from the shoulder to the tips of the fingers. But for the 
fact that the band slipped from the wheel, the little fellow would have lost 
his life. The slipping of the band opportunely,  looks like a direct 
interposition of Providence and the boy may have been preserved for some high 
purpose.

Died, at her home in the western part of the county, Friday, Oct. 10th of 
cancer, after a long illness and much suffering, Mrs. J.M. Vincent.  Mrs. 
Vincent was one of the gentlest natures we ever knew. Truly may it be said of 
her "none knew her but to love her", and the annoucement of her death will 
send a thrill of pain to many a heart among her acquaintance.  Modest to the 
point of reserve, humbly and devotedly pious, sympathetic and charitable, she 
was the very highest type of christian womanhood.  We have shared the 
hospitality of the family of Mr. Vincent more than once and there in the 
family circle, we observed in the wife and mother of the household, those 
graces of character and domestic virtues which rendered her so loveable, those 
heart virtues which drew our affections to her and learned us to esteem her at 
her worth.  As we write, memory carries us back to the last time we visited 
the family and were the recipient of her kind and motherly attentions, and our 
tenderest sympathy goes out instinctively to the stricken household of which 
she was the center. May God help the husband and children to bear their 
irreparable loss with christian fortitude and resignation.

It is with hearfelt sorrow that we announce the death of Rev. Wyly Woodall of 
this county. He died of typhoid fever at his home, Saturday the 4th inst. and 
was buried Sunday with Masonic honors at the church of which he was pastor. 

Mr. Woodall was a most useful and valuable citizen and his loss will be 
greatly felt in Calhoun county. A devoted minister of the gospel, his 
influence was all on the side of morality and right. A man of warm heart and 
generous impulses, he attracted men to him and brought them under the benign 
influence he exerted, and thus was more than ordinarily useful in his day.  In 
the death of  Wyley Woodall the church has lost a pillar of strength, the 
state a prop and society a stay. While we mourn his death as a loss to the 
county, we mingle our tears with his stricken household and yield to them the 
tenderest sympathies of our nature.
