ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
A special from Sulligent, Lamar county, tells of the killing there of S. F. 
PENNINGTON, the mayor, and one of the most prominent citizens of the town.  Mr. 
PENNINGTON was walking along the track of the Kansas City, Memphis and 
Birmingham railroad, and seeing a train coming stepped to one side.  It came up 
at a lively rate, and a projecting plank from a car loaded with lumber struck 
Mr. PENNINGTON and knocked him down.  When reached by friends he was dead, 
having been killed almost instantly.
