Death of Miss Dod~on.

The death of Miss Ida Mabel Dodson
at o'clock last Sunday morning, came
as shock to all who had been associ-
ated with her since her arrival in this
city in September of last year. Miss
Dodson was engaged as milliner at
John McGrath n Sons She was taken
violently i'll with fever on May 22nd
and in spite of all attention and med
ical attendance, died on June Bird. Mr..
W. r. Dodson. one of her two brothers
in St. Louis, arrived Sunday evening
and took the remains to her old home
at Kirksville, Mo, where they were
inferred yesterday afternoon. Friends
at this place sent quantities of beauti-
full flowers with the casket, the la
mented dead being passionately fond
of them. As they fade and die on the
r-away grave, may they breathe ten
derby of the affection Of hearts who
loved the dead in Brookhaven.
Mr. Dodson, before returning, eX-
pressed the warmest appreciation for
all kindness shown his beloved sister
by the people OF our city.

The rain came down in torrents for
about an hour Sunday. The greatest
local damage done was the breaking of
the dam of the Pearl River Lumber
Cos. big pond. The pond contained
thousands of floating logs-enough to
saw 100000 feet of lumber, and over
1000 were washed below the dam, from
whence it will require considerable
trouble and expense to recover
The loss of water has caused a sus-
pension of work in the saw mill until
the damage can be repaired and new
supply secured, which will doubtless
be accomplished before the close of
this week.

Dead.

Rudy Umbarger, one of the best
and most prosperous farmers in this
part of the country, died Sunday, July
the seventh. Mr.. Umbarger lived a
few miles southwest Of carleton
where he owned a splendid well i'm
proved farm. He was a man who
merited and held the respect and es-
TEEN of his neighbors and acquain-
tances. Mr.. Umbarger was rugged
looking man in the very prime of life.
He was in Chanute the second third
day of July jolly and happy, and APP
parently in perfect health,
On the evening of the fourth he
was taken sick with combination OF
stomach and heart trouble and rapid
ly failed until Sunday when he died,
Mr.. Umbarger was fair minded, hon
est man aud took broad and COM
prehensive view of life. He leaves a
number of friends and a wife with a
wide circle of warm friends. We had
a pleasant talk with him the fore part
of last week when he was in Chanute,
and he looked so rugged and strong
and seemed so jolly he was the last
man on earth we would have selected
as being near deaths door. The SYM
pathy of the whole community goes
out to the wife and family.

were very touching. At the close Miss
Ethel Chapel played a patriotic air

to the dining room where the tables
were loaded with the Injuries and
good things of this goodly land. AT.
ter dinner the time was spent in
pleasant converse and music, and the

happy manner. The presents were
numerous and valuable, and will be
cherished as mementos of this happy
occasion.
