The Georgia Enterprise

 On Wednesday, the 19th inst., as Mr. W. J. Mabry was working in his yard, in 
the vicinity of Starrsville, with his little children playing near him, they 
were all prostrated by a stroke of lightning in sight of Mrs. Mabry, who was in 
the house at the time. Mr. Mabry recovering immediately, went to the children, 
who all recovered except his oldest son, about nine years old, whom he took up, 
and found to be dead. The afflicted parents and relatives have our most sincere 
sympathy in this sudden bereavement.
May their wounded hearts be healed by that God who alone has power to speak 
comfort to such as He has wounded.
