A son of Mr. Peyton J. CARVER of this county, about 10 years of
age, last Monday by some means, got a cocklebur in his mouth, whence it
was drawn into the throat where it lodged. All efforts to remove it
failed and danger of suffocation ensuing, the little fellow was taken to
Nashville on Tuesday morning in order that a surgical operation might be
performed for the extraction of the bur. The boy died before the
operation could be performed.
