just been remodeled and rehtted in
neat and elegant style. He is here to
stay, AMI to practice dentistry and
nothing else. He don't talk politics
or rel gion; he don't care auyt hing
about he war in the Philippine Is
lands; lie don't know whether it was
Turks or Bulgarians that kidnapped
Mis- Stone, and he don't care if Teddy
Roosevelt dined with Booker Wash
ingtop, he can be found in his office at
all times prepared to do any style of
work known to the dental profession.
He guarantees, by new method, to ex-
tract or fill the most sensitive teeth
without pain, harm or danger to tue
patient. He uses nothing but best
material and guarantees the work for
life. Nothing cheap about his work
except hi, charges. 1t will cost moth

Prominent People Passed Away

Two weeks ago last Sabbath, there
passed from earthly scenes the spirit
of Judge Hiram Cassedy-Brookha -
ven's most prominent lawyer-the head
of the city's bar.
One week later the soul of Mr. John
McGrath took its -Brookhaven's
most prominent merchandise head
of the largest mercantile establish
ment of the city.
When another week had gone the
grim messenger had claimed Jesse Tay-
lor-Brookhayen's most prominent col
ored citizen; the acknowledged head
OF his race in Lincoln county.
At this writing the life of the Oldest
physician and one of the most prom
inent, of this city, hangs by a thread.
Who will take their places?
