His Brothers Arms.

dence. 3-Adr. George Grant, Of Conner. is
dead.
He suddenlyexpired yesterday morning
at an early hour at his home at Conner.
He was in the arms of his brother at the
time and was struggling to go out when
his head suddenly fell back and he was a
corpse Universal sorrow exists at and
around Conner He was one of the most
loved by every person. He was mag
nificent specimen of young manhood, per-
hars 80 years of age, and no one ca1cu-
lated on his tragic end.
on Saturday, before, he had some diff
Guilty or some ina ginary difficulty, and in
a struggle with friends, his shot gun went
of, several shots wounding a by-stander
but-very slightly. He was not himself.
On yesterday morning at O'Clock he
wanted to go down town, and his brother,
Mr.sJoe Grant, who was perfectly de-
voted to him, was undertaking to prevent
his leaving the house. Thinking it would
be best for him MOTTO so out, as he was
not well. There was some struggle be-
tween them but only slight one. The
excitement, perhaps, brought on acute
heart trouble and his head fell back on
his brothers shoulder and he was dead.
He.was such a clever, social, loving fell
lowt Every one loved him and they
grieVe at the unexpected and terrible
tragedy. He was about so. He leaves a
young and charming wife and two little
children to meet the visitation of Provi-
dence as best they may.

him. A telegram was received from An
niston last night stating that the An

Higdon. With such unrefuted assur-

soldierly bearings of the officers of the
Second regiment to intimate that they
would stake their honor on promise and
not stand up to 1t. Ftrmness, honor and
patriotism are as essential to the soldiery
of the country as courage, and without

worry and too little care and thought for
health 1t isn't an easy thing for healthy
man to overwork himself If man will
stop for just one minute every day and
think of his health, and, when he finds that
he feels a triAe cut of sorts, will resort to the
right remedy, he may work about as hard
as he wishes without doing himself injury.
On the contrary, if he neglects health and
works on in spite of ill-health, he will
awaken some day to find that the penalty is
consumption, nervous exhaustion or pros
tration or some other dread disease. Even
then it is not too late if the right remedy is
used The proper remedy, both to prevent
and cure these diseases is known to thou
sands of men and women all over this con-
tinent Thousands of them have written,
testifying over their signatures, to its mar
velous virtues. The remedy is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t cures 90 per
cent of all cases. of consumption, catarrhal,
bronchial and throat affections
AZ was a sufferer for five or six years from in
digestion, sore stomach, and constant headache,
writes B. F. Holmes, of Z. o. Box ITs, Gaffney,
S. c. "Ittied several of our best physicians and
found N permanent relief. For two years while
under a treatment by physician ate nothing
but Graham bread. but it didn't cure me. By the
persuasion of friend of mine, commenced the
use of DR.. Pierce'5 Golden Medical Discovery,
which gave me relief in few days. Since then
1 have used five bottles. When commenced I
could not sleep; had restless uneasy feeling all
the time; skin was yellow and dry. Now have
good color, rest we'll at night have good appe-
lite can eat almost anything 1 wish to, and
weigh 40 pounds"
When the liver and bowels don't work,
the body and brain won't. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are a sure, safe, speedy
and permanent cure for constipation, and
torpid liver. One "Pcllet" is gentle
laxative and two mild cathartic.

BUCKLER STOCK COMPANY Tt
TOM DIXON COMING.

Tom Dixon comes to O'Brien's opera
house January 90 The following is from
the Dallas naily News, January IL, 1897;
Yesterday morning there arrived in
Dallas a man wen calculated TO attract
attention in any crowd. He was about
six feet four inches tall weight about
100 pounds, on an unfed basis, black
hair piercing black eyes, smooth shaved
and complexion about four shades
lighter than Barney Gibbs. AS he walked
along the street men wondered who he
was, what he was here for, where he
came from. and thought that on appear
ance any hotel would be justified in
charging him $40 day-he looked just
that hungry. Such was Rev. Thomas
Dixon. Jr, the famous pastor of the Peo-
pies church. New York. Everybody
knows Dixon now. For seven or eight
years he has been nationally regarded
as a theological buZz-saw and a PASTORAL
hornet.
He is one of the most unique orators Of
the present day, was 80 years old yester-
day and can hold an audience as long as
he can talk. He talks as fast as ner-
vous woman in a church sewing circle
and is master of all the arts of oratory
In one moment he blazes like a meteor,
in the next he thunders like crest of
belching batteries; again, he dazzles his
audiences with a prodigal scattering of
gems of thought, and then pounds them
with a hailstorm of logic. If there is
double back action, reversible patent
lever eighteen carat, Web-perfectlng, self
cooking thoroughbred dispenser of origi-
nal chin music in this country, it is Tom
Dixon.
His lecture on Modern Babylon" was
the attraction which filled the audito-
rum Of the city hall last night. Every
seat was occupied, and for two long
hours every person present listened with
intense interest. Every one was so well
entertained that when the speaker con-
cluded many were surprised to find that
he had spoken two hours instead of forty
minutes
