GILMAN NOTES.
BY SAwDUST.


Fine weather, plenty of sickness.
| Jack, you ought to get some meat.
ST Williams, colored, got his thumb
cut off at No. 2 mill.
The farmers are bringing in the last
of their water melons.
The saw mills are running full capac-
ity; the lumber trade seems to be on a
boom.
Mr.. Ed. Brent had the misfortune
of losing fine gold ring at Pleasant
Hill church.
Mr.. Charlie Lee got his finger badly
mashed at the planer, which caused
him to lose considerable lot of time.
Bro. Billy seems to be little over
run. We were little surprised to see
that he desired to bury Sawdust in or
der to get rid of him, especially at his
own estimation. We can't spare him,
brother
On last Monday Mary Burks shot
Addie Redman in the mouth with 80
Smith d WessOn pistol The ball was
successfully taken out of the neck by
Drs. Cowart and Thompson, and the
patient is rapidly recovering. They
are both colored. Jealousy is said to
be the cause of the affray.
On last Tuesday Lewis Whitworth
and Nora Williams went to Brook
haven to attend to some business in
law concerning marriage contract.
They seem to have disagreed and ON
return Whitworth attempted to muir
der the woman and thought he had &C
complished his object She is no bet
ter and will probably die, being cut in
the throat and badly bruised about the
head.

Mrs. Mary Cassidy, the venerable
and beloved mother of Judge Hiram
Cassidy, of Brookhaven, and Judge
VIM. p. Cassidy, of Summit, died at
the home of her kinsman, Mr.. II. II.
Magee, in Franklin county last Sunday.
Up to a short time ago, Mrs. Cassidy
enjoyed remarkably good health for
one of her years. Possessed of an ex-
ceptionally attractive personality and
retaining to an unsual degree all her
mental and physical faculties, she was
one of those lovely Southern matrons
who literally grew old beautifully.
Judge Cassidy and wife, of Brookhaven,
we're at her bedside when she died.
She was buried Monday in the family
burial ground in Franklin county be-
side her honored husband who preced-
ed herr to the spirit land some 20
years ago.

If any mans health is weakened or
wasted or running down, he should take
the right means to build himself up strong
and well, so that he can both live and care
for those he loves. He should investigate
the virtues of that great remedy, the
Golden Medical Discovery" originated
by DR. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. 1t is a remedy
that makes a man thoroughly well by Civ
ing power and capacity to the digestive and
assimilative organs. 1t makes healthy in
vigorating blood out of the food he eats
It gives him strength and energy to put
into his daily task. 1t builds up hard mus
cular flesh and nerve fiber, revitalizes the
tissues of the throat and lungs, heals in
fammation, purges the blood of bilious
poisons and makes man, strong, vigorous
and hardy.

1--WE have been disappointed in the
effect of the severe winter. II is a
popular idea that extreme cold weather
kills out troublesome insects and de-
stroys disease germs, but we have not
been able to see it verified this sum-
mer. We have had an unprecedented
winter, but cotton worms, cut worms.
flies, mosquitoes, etc, have been I'M
usually bad, and this is one of the me st
unhealthy seasons we have ta1 in

During the civil war, as well as in
orr late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
Que of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it.
Mr. David Taylor of Wind Ridge,
Greene Co., Pa, is one of these. He
uses Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and says he never
found anything that would give him
such quick relief. 1t is for sale by G.

This estimable Christian lady, who
was loved and respected by all who
knew her, died at the family home on
last Thursday afternoon, 10th inst,
about o'clock Mrs. Milan had been
virtually an invalid for the last ten
years, and since last February had been
confined to her bed almost continuous
ly. She was afflicted with chronic
bronchitis, and this with advancing age
gradually Slapped the vital forces. She
died without a struggle, like one falling
into restful sleep
| Mrs. Milan was born in South Caro-
lima February D. 1929. She came to
Brookhaven with her then husband,
Judge Samuel Jayne, before the town
or railroad was built, and they settled
at what is now known as "Old Brook, y
the place at which it was then thought
the town of Brookhaven would be To-
Gated. After Judge Jayne's death, she
married, on June Is, 1863, Capt. p. G..
Milan, then gallant soldier in the
| Confederate army, with whom she ever
afterward lived most happily, and who
survives her. They had no children.
The mutual love and devotion of this
couple was beautiful to behold and the
memory of their happy welded life
may we'll be treasured by the bereaved
husband as priceless legacy.
Mrs. Milan was member of the
Brookhaven Baptist church, where the
funeral services were conducted Fri
day afternoon by the pastor, Rev. A.
r. Bond. The conscious loneliness
and the uncomfortable grief of the
stricken husband on that occasion were
pathetic to the last degree and might
we'll have moved heart of stone.
Only those who knew Mrs. Milan in
health and prime can have any concep-
ton of what the community lost when
disease and death marked her for their
own.

ACCIDENT TO TOM DRoHAN
Knocked from the Dummy and Probably
Internally Injured.

Thomas F. Drohan, brother of Mar
tin Drohan, living at IA Alden street,
was knocked from the 5.15 dummy at
Lake Quinsigamond yesterday after
noon and badly injured.
Conductor William Kingdom, who was
in charge of the train, with the aid of
several passengers, placed him aboard
the car and brought him to the city,
where DR.. j. H. Sullivan had Drohan
taken to the family home on Alden
street. Last night Dr. Sullivan said
that he was probably internally injured
and was in a serious condition.
Drohan went to the lake yesterday
afternoon to see the boat races ard
after they We're over got aboard the
car near the entrance to Lincoln park
When the car started he was standing
on the runningboard, and did
not notice the fence which is
built close to the track With
out any warning the fence struck
him in the chest and he was thrown
heavily to the ground.
The majority of passengers on the
car wanted Conductor Kingdom to take
him back to the lake and call medical
assistance, but the conductor wisely
brought him to Worcester, which is
only seven minutes run from where the
accident happened.
