Sad Accident.

Mr Magruder Turner, a son-in-law of Mr. L. Boyd, near Cotton Gin, was caught by
the arm in a gin last week, and the limb was so badly mutilated it had to be
amputated at the shoulder. Mr. Turner never recovered from the shock of the
injury, and died about about twelve hours after it occurred. The accident
happened at a gin near Angus, in Navarro county. The deceased was buried at
Cotton Gin last Saturday
