Last Friday night about 7:45
o'clock, the stables belonging to Mr..
Reese Lamb and Mr.. John j. Hen
bricks, on Frierson street, became
ignited in some unknown manner
and were badly burned. Mr.. Lambs
loss was about $50, and the loss on
Mr.. Hendricks stable was about the
same. Mr.. Hendricks stable was
used by Frank Swansburg, who had
about 500 worth of provender in it..
No insurance.
Tuesday at noon Mrs. Barnett's
stable, Just across the street from
Mr.. Lambs, caught on fire and was
destroyed, with its contents. The
loss was about 800, with no insur-
ance. The origin of the fire Is a
mystery and can be attributed to no
other cause than incendiarism.

DEATHS HARVEST.
william Emberry Baird.

Mr.. William Emberry Baird de-
parted this life Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. j. w. Weatherly, in
West End, after few days sickness
with pneumonia. Deceased was 60
years of age at the time of his death.
He was born in South Carolina and
was moved to Cornersville, Tenn,
two or three years after his birth !;
there he resided until the year 1892,
when he moved to Columbia and
from then up to the time OF his
death made his home among us. Mr..
Baird was a member of the Presby-
terrain church, and was an upright,
christian man; he possessed in de-
gree that is worthy of emulation by
us all "that humanity that meets in
every man a brother;" that friend
ship which enters with warmth into
the feelings of others, and binds us
to those we love with most indisso-
luble ties. The great beauty OF his
character was his constant, tende"
loving and enthusiastic devotion to
his wife and children, and his home
life was, after all, his chiefest
grace. His wife and the following
children survive him: Mrs. Annie
McLemore, Mrs. j. w. Weatherly
Mrs. James H. McGrew, of Shelby
vile, and Mr.. William E. Baird
The funeral services were conducted
in the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning at 8 O'Clock by
Revs. f. B. Webb and ID. G. Kelly
who spoke beautiful tributes to hi
memory. The remains were carried
to Cornersville, where they were in
tered yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. The pall-bearers were

many a person feels that they

they have, to "overwork, " when
in reality the cause is that their

The brain and body can stand
an immense amount of work

at this season especially, that
the physical condition needs the
assistance of those remedies that
restore natures equilibrium. The

We Do Not
( Understand

why some people will be induced
to buy mixed paints that are only
cidiBled to be composed wholly
of lead and zinc and pure linseed
oil. when this claim is only sup
ported by the simple statement
Of the seller and not sustained by
any guarantee of purity nor
chemical analysis. Ask them if
they will do as Rains does-he
stands ready to deposit in bank a
sufficient sum of money to pay
the cost of analysis by any first
class chemist whose analysis
fails to verify the absolute puri-
ty of his paint. Try them by
this test and see if they really
believe the paint they offer to
sell you is pure. The public has
been deceived too much and toe
often on mixed paints. Our paint
costs you no more than other
dealers ask you for adulterated
and short measure gallons.

This great modern scientific invigorat-

amount OF lasting good things these

himself by active and honorable service
in the house OF representatives,, where he
was sent from the Sixth district OF vir-

advocate Of measures for the advance
ment OF good government In what high
honor Paine's celery compound is held
in the family OF this distinguished legisla-
tor appears from the following letter:
Dear Sirs:-For years / have been

bottles of 1t with great benefit. I was
so much pleased with Il that l persuaded

This IS one OF some 10 or % letters from
United States congressman or members OF
their families. that have recently appear
ed in the newspapers here, heartily recon-
mending Paine's celery compound.
One of the most eminent physicians In

"Paine's celery compound marks a tire
mendous stride in the cure of diseases.
