BOY KILLED INSTANTLY
 

During the harvest season which has just closed we have heard of no serious accidents happening in this county or near neighborhood, except the killing of Seymour Cunningham, which is one of the saddest afflictions that has befallen any of our citizens for a long time.  The young man was driving a wagon loaded with sheaf oats, and while the wagon going down grade to cross a swamp or gully, the boy slid forward and fell behind the off-horse, the wagon-wheel passing over and crushing the top of his head.  The unfortunate young man never breathed or struggled after the fatal accident.  Mr. Alex Cunningham, the father of the ill-fated boy, was near by at the time.  The age of the young man was about 14 years and 8 months.  The remains were interred in Augusta Sunday last.
