Death Of N. R. Jordan.

News of Mr.. Jordan's death
came as a shock to his many
Brookhaven friends, none Of
whom knew of his serious illness.
After weeks of suffering with ty-
phoid fever, he died at his home
in Columbia on Wednesday last.
Since his wife's death not quite a
year ago, Mr.. Jordan had lived
restlessly like ship bereft of rud-
der and oar, but lately had built
a residence and together with his
one unmarried daughter and son,
Charles and wife, had resumed
housekeeping. A degree of salts
faction and domestic joy had just
entered his lonely life, when
death came and paralyzed all
hopes and plans for his earthly
welfare. He leaves a grown FAM
lily of four daughters and two
sons, all married, save one, and
all of whom we're present at the
funeral services conducted in this
city Thursday afternoon.
The body was buried from the
home of Nj. Joe Price, who is a
relative of the family, and the
services we're conducted by Rev.
R. J. Boone, former neighbor
of the deceased.
In remembrance of past kind
nesses and faithful service at his
hands, we pay this tribute of es-
TEEN and respect to the memory
of the departed, and extend I'M
bounded sympathy to his sorely
bereft children.

MILLIONAIRE,S S POOR

The worn out stomach of the over

the public prints as a horrible ex-

possession of great wealth. But
millionaires are not the only ones
who are afflicted with bad stomachs.
The portion is far greater among
the tailors. Dyspepsia and iudiges-

they avail themselves Of standard
medicine like Green's August

household remedy, for all stomach
troubles for over thirty years. .Au-
