to express their thanks to their

tributed to the very much ap-

he had gone with his wife and
brother to enjoy a short vacation
with his grandparents. He had
seemed in perfect health until the

cal skill could not relieve, and
he passed away the following
morning. He was the eldest son
of Prof. James N. David, one OF
the States best known educators

to the public without a cent of
cost. There we're some people
who wanted the county court to
go ahead and build another
bridge. an undertaking which
would have cost almost double
the amount they they have
agreed to pay. One Of the argu-
ments made before the court
against the purchase of the bridge
was that it greatly benefited

the greatest improvements that
has come to the city in a long
time. and one that will afford
safety and comfort to our citi.

that he has given to the public a
sum far in excess of the amount
expended by the county, and it
might be interesting to some OF
our readers to know that the
tax receipts in the sheriff's

paid by the COTS and the B. & D.

Appliances For the Army Of Invasion to
Dress Their Own Wounds.
Lieutenant Colonel J. Morris Brown,
surgeon U. S. A., who is general pur-
chasing agent for the medical depart
ment Of the army in New York, said
recently that thorough provision had
been made for taking care of the sick
and wounded in the army that has
sailed for Cuba. The present strength
of the hospital corps Of the army
is about 700. Of this number $50 hos
pital stewards and their assistants, in
Guiding trained nurses, sailed on the
transports. Just how many surgeons
went along DR.. Brown doesn't know,
but he thinks there were 20 or Is.
For some weeks DR.. Brown has been
shipping field hospital cots and bedding
to Tampa in large quantities, and he
has also shipped more than 1000, 900
yards Of bandages. Besides, each officer
and man in General Skaters command
is provided with appliances by which
he can attend to his own wounds if they
be not too severe. These appliances are
done up in a waterproof package and
consist Of two congresses, one rolled
bandage and one triangular bandage.
Perhaps the most useful article in the
set is the triangular bandage. 1t is 81
inches wide at the base and may be
used as sling for a wounded or broken
limb or to bind on splints. York
