Mary E. McDonald, age 88 years, died suddenly Sunday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Loring A. Williams, at New Castle. The funeral occurred at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at Carrollton, in the southern part of this county.

Mrs. McDonald was for many years postmistress at Carrollton, #nd years ago became famous on account of being characterized by James Whitcomb Riley in his poem "The Little Town o' Tail Holt." The mention was made by Riley in the fourth verse of his poem, the first two lines of which read: "Some find it's discommodin' like,

I'm willin' to admit, To hev but one postoffice, and a womern keepin' hit." James Whitcomb Riley knew Mrs. McDonald very well and had reference to her in the above lines, so he admitted. Loring Williams wrote Mr. Riley apprising him of the death of his aged friend.

Knocked Himself Senseless. John O. Thurston, who lives south of this city, on the John Tindall farm, was the victim of a most unusual accident Tuesday at the noon hour, says the Shelbyville Democrat. He had come in from his work and after eating dinner went to the orchard. He picked up a brick and threw it into an apple tree to knock off some of the fruit, but the brick struck a limb and, rebounding, caught Mr. Thurston on the head with such terrific force that he was rendered unconscious. He lay in this condition for half an hour and was finally found by members of his family, who, growing alarmed at his absence, went out to search for him. A physician had to be called, as the edge of the brick had cut an ugly gash in his scalp.
