Jeremiah Small was killed on Monday morning at the kilns of Bittinger Lime 
Company at Hendrix Station.  The cable of the lime car used in hauling stone up 
the incline broke and crashed down with full speed.  At the foot of incline it 
struck Mr. Small, aged about ?8 years and injured him so severely that his death 
occurred two hours later.  Jesse Dorsey, a colored man was at the bottom of the 
pit and was also struck and hurled a distance and there is little hope for his 
recovery.  Jeremiah Small had been employed in the quarries for years and leaves 
a wife and several children.  He is survived by two brothers, Daniel and David 
Small of Midway.
