FATAL ACCIDENT  On the afternoon, of 24th, two gentlemen, John Meeks  and 
_______ Parsons went into the coal bank on the place on which Mr. Meek's  
father 
resided, about two miles from town, for the purpose of digging a small  
quantity of coal.  Sometime during their stay in the bank a quantity of  slate 
fell 
from the roof, killing Mr. Meeks instantly, and dislocating the  shoulder of 
Mr. Parsons.  Mr. M. was a young man about 24 years of age,  respected and 
beloved by all who knew him; was a member of the M. E.  Church.  He leaves a 
young 
wife to deplore his loss.  We would just  say to the friends of Mr. Parsons 
that he is in fair way of recovery.  West  Columbia Telescope.
