Lost His Life While Seining
-------
SENOIA, Ga., April 19. - Raymond Wynn, a prominent young farmer living near 
here, was drowned last afternoon while seining. He lost his footing and was 
carried down by the current. The recent rains had rendered seining good and 
actuated by this inducement he had gone there early in the afternoon, in company 
with several others, to enjoy the sport.
