AT HIS HOME.

Dad Jernigan was taken out to his
family residence, on West Sixth street,
at a few minutes before II o'clock, where
he had been preceded by his wife and
several friends of the family. Upon ar
irving there he was tenderly conveyed
to his room and placed on the bed In
short while he rallied sufficiently to talk
to his wife and some friends, that came
to his bedside at his bidding. DR..
Wooten gave him some chloroform, and
he slept quite well for some time.
AT few minutes before 2 o'clock, how
ever, he awoke, and to those who were
near at the time, it became very evident
that his end was near. And so it was.
He died at LOO o'clock, and all was over
with. He was conscious up to within
few minutes of his death, and showed
II desire to talk freely, but his physicians
forbade it. He did talk to Mr.. Jack
Kirk, however, and told him in substance
about what he said to Mr.. Jim Hart, at
the court house.
Coroner Johnson held the inquest, and
his verdict was according to facts in the
case.
To his wife and daughters, as well as
the smaller children, the sympathy of the
entire community is extended. Their
grief will be hard to console, for the
death of their husband and father leaves
them without II supporting prop in the
battle of life. He was their all, their
main support. His death leaves them
without u guiding hand. While earthly
friends will extend that sympathy that
wells from the heart, they must necessa-
rly look to something higher for that con-
ISOLATION and advice that will serve to
assist them in the battle of life that lies
before them.
Mrs. Jernigan's father lives in Tennes-
see, and it is highly probable that he will
be here in few days to look after the
affairs of the family, ut least temporarily.

ANDREW GEORGE.

Andrew George, the seeker after
hidden wealth, was arrested last after
noon and lodged in Jail.
1t was he who poured seductive
tales of hidden wealth into
the ears of dad" Jernipan
and it is reliably stated that he informed
Dad" that he had seen the money, and
got sacks from him to put it in. George,
day before. yesterday, had fifteeh silver
sacks in his possession, the property of
the county. He said that Jim Bridgers
got them out Of the county treasurer's
Office, and that he had found them where
left by the inimitabe Jim. This may
be true, but George will have to prove
it. Many believe he secured the sacks
himself from Dad Jernigan.

negotiating with parties relative to a
new bond
When the county commissioners were
seen about this matter last afternoon
they stated that they had accepted the
bond with the above signatures on the
more.
There is little doubt, however, about
the correctness of the statement that the
acceptance Of the bond was purely con-
ditional, as outlined above.
The amount which Mr.. Jernigan stated
he let Ed Anderson have is represented,
it is said by Mr.. Anderson, by two notes
dated in 1905, about eight months after
Mr.. Jernigan was first elected treasurer.
There are collateral notes as security
amounting to $500 or $500 and a cash
credit of $500 to 90 on same.

the Finn's Point Battery last Friday.
A misstep was the cause.
Thieves stole considerable brass, copper
and other valuable pieces of metal from
the engine of the Steamer Fannie H.,
which has been lying idle on Jenkins
beach, last Saturday. 1t renders the
engine almost worthless.
Did you know that Jacob Rdgway,

Riding bicycle does not bring a boy
back from an errand any sooner.
A Salem married man says he has not
tasted home made bread or pies since his
wife learned to ride bicycle.
Bicycle courtesy should include an offer
to pay damages when a careless rider
runs another down and wrecks his
machine. Courtesy of that kind would
be greatly appreciated by many victims.
A chain is contrary thing. 1t gener-
ally acts after it's own cranky will, SO far
as clicking is concerned. 1t clicks for
lack of oil and it clicks because of a
surfelt of oil. Sometimes oil will do it
good, and then again it won't. After all,
graphite is the only thing it never objects
to.
Cyclists will be interested to hear that
French doctor has been investigating

too, and finds green fodder and liquid
better than oats. He says that if fluid be

riders will try for new records and new
honors on this tract. Kiser, Cooper,
