Mr.. Holden was a sufferer from
consumption the past few years.
Last April he made trip west for
the benefit of his health. spending
two months at Phoenix. Arizona, and
came home in June apparently great

hope that his health had been fully

Wa Taken From Lookup, TO
BE Investigated

Emmanuel Plattner, who was TAX
en- from the city jail to the Kessler
hospital on the morning OF February
IA suffering from the effects OF a
poison or narcotic that he had taken.
died at that institution Thursday
night. The circumstances of his
death are such that the authorities
viii likely order the holding OF a
post mortem examination to ascer-
ttaln the cause Of his death. This
may result in further investigation
for it is believed that the man was
given a dose of knockout drops In
some whiskey.
Paralysis of the heart was the d.
rect cause of PIattner's death. Be-
fore he died Plattner told the doc
tors at the hospital that he was not
a drunkard. did not use intoxicants
habltually and that while he might
have been on drunk at different
times. he never was in the condition
ne was when the police had him TAX
en- 10 the hospital. He believed that
he had taken some poison in a glass
of liquor for he said he did not drink
enough 10 make him drunk.
The body has been taken to the
morgue at the Cllfford-o Osborne un-
derttaking establishment and 1t will
be held there until the authorities
decide upon an investigation.
Plattner worked for the B. & o.
railroad in this city but his home
vas in Martinsburg where he has
relatives Chief of Police Richard
Scott sent telegraphic message to
the relatives Friday notifying them
Of the mans death. Plattner was
about 40 years old.

Two weeks ago message came from
Asheyille, informing his relatives OF
the gravity OF Mr.. Holden's condi-
ton, and his father. Lee d. Holden.
and brother. Edward Holden, went
there and brought him home. All
that love. tender hands, watchful
relatives and medical science could
do for him was done, but that dread
disease consumption steadily pro-
crossed until death claimed It's VIC
tim.

NOTICE TO OUR FRIENDS

On and latter December
1st, 19O7Ewe willEdiscontin-
ue selling our products either
for cash.. or credit, except
through regular dealers. We
appreciate the.%past patron
age of our friends who have
been buying from US either
at mill door or delivered to
their houses, butcas it has
been the desire and request
of the merchants that the
mills do no retail business,
stating that they would and
could at all times fill these
orders at the same prices as
the mills would ask for the
quantity, we have decided
to accede to their wishes,
and withdraw from what is
known as the consumers
trade, turning this business
into the hands of the mer-
chants, and will aim at all
times to have a stock of flour,
meal and feed in the grocer
les and feed stores Of Hop
kinsville and vicinity, and
we wish to solicit a continu-
ance of patronage in the use
of our products through
these dealers.
Kindly bear this in mind,
and do not phone or send
your orders to the mill to be
filled, as we certainly would
have to refuse to fill them,
and this,of course would be
embarrassing to us as well
as to those sending the or
ders. When you want flour,
meal or feed, order it from
the grocery or feed store
that you do business with,
and they will give the same
prompt attention:
