The Covington Star May 27, 1885
     Mr. James G. Paine, Jr., who has been running on one of the fast trains of 
the Georgia Railroad for sometime past, was severely and dangerously injured, 
as the train was leaving Greensboro, coming up, on last Wednesday. When the 
train left Greensboro, Mr. Paine was in the baggage car. There was some unusual
rattling noise coming up from under the car which attracted his attention. He 
looked out of the side door of the car to ascertain the cause, when his head 
came in contact with one of the upright timbers of the bridge, on the west side 
of Greensboro, which knocked him senseless, and he fell, on a chain which is 
stretched across the door, where he was found by the conductor, Mr. Sam Harris, 
a few minutes afterwards. The train was stopped and run back to the station, 
when Mr. Paine was removed to the depot, and medical assistance summoned. The 
blood was running from his right ear, but the skin was unbroken. He was soon 
removed to the hotel, and every attention was given him by the physicians. He 
remained in a stupor until late Wednesday afternoon, when his mind revived and 
he was able to recognize his friends. During the night, however, he again fell 
into a stupor, though his breathing was natural, and at last accounts he was 
improving. We have not been able to learn the full extent of his injuries, but
it is thought his skull was not fractured. His many friends in Covington 
sympathize with him in his misfortune, and sincerely hope he may soon be better.
     Since the foregoing was put in type we have learned that Mr. Paine was 
able to be brought to his father's home on last Friday, and that he is getting 
on very well. His skull was not fractured.
