The Georgia Enterprise
  On Friday last, Mr. J. W. Turner, of Jasper county, while returning to his
home with a load of guano was thrown from a wagon, receiving fatal injuries.
Four miles from this city on the Monticello road, his team was going down a 
steep hill when the tongue of his wagon broke, which frightened the mules, and 
they immediately dashed forward, and while endavoring to hold them. Mr. Turner
was thrown out and the wagon ran over him, mangling his body terribly. He was
carried to the residence of Mrs. Joseph Anderson, and there he lingered until
Saturday morning, when he died. Dr. J. C. Anderson did all in his power to 
relieve his suffering and to save his life, but it was impossible for medical 
skill to ward off the angel of death. Mr. Turner leaves a family and many true
friends to mourn his departure. He was a good man. Peace to his memory. His 
unfortunate death will carry sorrow to the hearts of all who knew him.
