The Marietta Journal January 18, 1894
NICKAJACK

A fatal accident happened at the west end of Nickajack siding on Dec 22nd, that
I've not seen reported in any of the papers.  On the incoming freight train
Rufus DOWLER, a negro train hand, to a position on the fender of the engine to
be in readiness to change the switch for the train to take side track.  When the
engine slowed up he sprung from his seat and running in front of train to reach
the switch, his foot slipped on a tie of the tressel and he fell and before he
could recover himself was run down by the engine and both his legs were so
crushed that he lived only a short while.  Before dying he exculpated the
railroad authorities from any blame in the matter, saying he took the chances
himself.

Miss Agnes KENDLEY, one of our worthiest young ladies, has a good school at the
new church.

Our old time friend, genial Jack MORRIS, occupies the late Robert DANIELL brick
cottage and will operate the farm the present year.  Success to him.

The dyeing department of Concord Factory started up last week preparatory to
putting everything in motion soon.

The numerous friends of T F JEFFRIES were much gratified to note from his
charming little letter in the Journal that he not only "still lives" but is
coming to the front again.  May prosperity and length of days yet be meted to him.

- Kon.
