FATAL ACCIDENT--Mr. J. Berrien Moore, of Waycross, met with a serious accident 
last week, whilst in the woods looking after some hands.  It seems he had 
driven a mule attached to a buggy.  At a certain point where he stopped to 
speak to some hands, the mule for the first time saw the umbrella which Mr. M. 
was holding above him.  Taking fright at this, he dashed away, throwing Mr. 
Moore from the buggy, and injuring one of his legs very much.  Hearing of the 
accident, Dr. Blain, his brother-in-law, went at once for him, and brought him 
to this city for treatment.  All efforts, however, to restore the limb to its 
normal condition proved futile, and on Thursday last Dr. Blain, assisted by 
Drs. Burford, Hazlehurst and Davis, amputated the leg just above the knee.  
During the night his symptoms grew worse, and at five o'clock yesterday 
morning his spirit passed away.  We are requested to announce that his funeral 
will take place this (Saturday) afternoon at 5:00 o'clock, from the Episcopal 
church.
