From a private letter addressed to Postmaster Shuster, we learn that Sam, the second 
son of Mr. J. E. Davis, of Cherry Ridge vicinity, was the victim of a very serious 
accident Monday morning. While packing a bale of cotton the boy became entangled in 
the press rope, resulting in both his legs being broken, also one arm and his shoulder. 
The unfortunate boy was severely mangled, and the chances are against his recovery. 
At last accounts, however, he was resting fairly well.
