HORRIBLE  DEATH!
----------
          George A. Ivie,  who removed from Georgia to this place several years ago, with his family, came to his death on Monday evening in the following manner.  He had been drinking during the day, and in the evening was observed by several to be very drunk.  He took the train for Fairland that passes here about six o’clock p.m.  Arriving there, his condition was observed by the Marshal, who followed him to some shoe shop in the town for the purpose of arresting him.  The proprietor of the shop told the Marshal he could not take him from there without a warrant.  He left for that purpose, and while away the shoe shop proprietor slipped Ivie out, and piloted him to the railroad east of town . It is supposed that Ivie was so drunk that in a few minutes after being left alone, he laid down on the track and fell asleep, when the down freight came along and ran over him, horribly mangling his body, and, of course, killing him instantly.  In a short time afterward he was discovered by some boys who had been fishing. An inquest held over his body, the jury returning a verdict in accordance with the facts stated above.
          Ivie leaves a wife and several children very poor.  He was considered to be of no benefit to his family—spending what he made for whisky.  There are hundreds and thousands of men who yearly meet a similar fate to that of Ivie, who have been brought to their fate by contributing their means to enrich and extend the borders of the whisky seller who gave them nothing but liquid hell fire in return.  It is high time this business was stopped!
