Sunday afternoon, was held Tuesday at 2
O'Clock at his home, Rev MIR Burnett ofiiciat
ing. The burial was in Mt Pleasant cemetery,
He had been feeble for long time and took
severe cold Thursday which caused his
death. Mr. Davis was born in Putney Nav

Experience (Orvls) Davis. Most of his life
has been spent on the home farm, and he has
given much time TO the horse and cattle
business. He has held all the important
offices in this town except town clerk and
treasurer and represented the town in
the general assembly of 1880. He
was married in 1910 to Catharine

on all matters of importance. He will be
much missed in the community.

THE EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Case OF George X. Davis viii Go to
the Jury Today.

The taking of testimony in the case Of
George r. Davis charged win the ernbez-
Element of 81. s1.tssosbeionging u tire SoutheTu
Express Company. was concluded yester-
day afternoon. The arguments to the jury
viii be commenced this morning. Davis
was formerly employed as messenger by
the express company. and is accused Of
embezzIing the amount named on July 5.
1899 while on a run from Eufauia. Ala, to
this city
The evidence offered on behalf of Davis
Yesterday included that of the baggage
master who was with Davis, and occu-
pied the same car from Atlanta TO Char
lotte. n. c. He testified that Davis had no
opportunity of taking any money from the
safe between Atlanta and Charlotte. The
transfer clerk of the express company who
attended 10 the transfer business at Char
lotte was next called. This witness. Mr..
Connelley. testified that on the arrival or
the train at Charlotte from Atlanta he
Vent into the express car and opened the
combination safe, and saw Davis take ont
what money he had in it for Charlotte, AND
saw him put in the money he (the transfer
clerk gave him to carry on north.
The evidence showed that there were
two safes in the express car, one known
as the combination stationary safe and the
other as the messengers safe.
Mr. ConnelIey testified that he saw Mr.
Davis take the contents of the little safe
out They were handed to him (the wit
ness) and there was no bag or sack in the
little safe at that time
The defence then introduced all the
transfer clerks from Atlanta TO Wash
ington by each of whom was shown the
impossibiity of the defendant taking
anything out of the combination safe
while at their several stations. The proof
also showed that the express car was at
no time without one or more persons in
it was liable TO be visited at any time,
day and night by the conductor, the por-
ter, or other employees of the railroad,
and also passengers and express agents.
Davis testified in his own behalf He
gave his version of what occurred from
the time he received the pouch. at At
lanta. in which the package lost was said
to have been placed, UP TO the time he
turned the pouch over To r. II. Yates,
MED that he had tampered with the pouch
in any way or had distracted any money
from it.
Davis denied most emphaticaly that he
had seal made by Arthur Baumgarten
and testified that he never saw Mr..
Baumgarten until the day on which the
shooting affair occurred and that he
never caused a sealing iron to be made BY
Baumgarten or anyone else.
Counsel for the Government did not
crOss-eXam mine Davis. The court Instruct
ed counsel to have their prayers for in
structions ready at 10 o'clock this morn

Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets
GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION. SOUND
SLEEP, STRONG NERVES.
Popular Remedy for Dyspepsia
which Has Made Many Remark
mile s:rres

The spring of the year is the time for
blood purifiers. 1t is the season when we
think we must dose ourselves with sar-
saparillas, bitters, and the endless list of
so-called blood purifiers and nerve tonics.
AS a matter of fact. there is but one
possible way in which to purify the blood
and that is through the stomach and how
els.
food thoroughly digested. Impure blood
results from poor digestion and assimila-
tion. When the stomach refuses to work
properly the food remains too long a time
fermenting. forming gases, shown by
sour, bitter taste in the mouth, bloating
and belching of gas, and distress and dis
comfort generally. Poor blood weak
nerves, Sleeplessness, and general don't
care feeling can always be traced to inn
perfect digestion.
This is the reason why Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets are superior to all other
spring medicines and blood purifiers.
They give perfect digestion. the food does
not lie in the stomach for hours. They
give a vigorous appetite, sound sleep,
strong nerves and wholesome food well
digeSted makes pure blood, and in no
other way can the blood be purified. The
idea that a medicine in itself, will purify
the blood when the stomach and digestive
organs are out of order is nonsense.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used by
thousands in preference TO bitters, 'af-
ter dinner pills" and blood purifiers
because they remove the cause OF the inn
pure blood. and you do not have TO take
them forever to get results. Dyspepsia
is obstinate disease to cure and a rem
edy must be designed especially for IL
and nothing else. Cure-alls will not cure
dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed to cure everything or anything
except Dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
and for that 1t stands alone among pat
ent medicines. Anyone suffering from any
trouble with their digestion will find these
tablets Will give immediate relief and a
permanent cure
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are prepared
by the F. A. Stuart Co, of Marshall,
Mich, and sold by druggists everywhere
at 80 cents per package. No dieting nor
change of habits is required; they digest
the food.
