Stock of Goods Forty Years Old
Is Sold.

COLEBROOK, CONN, Sept. 10
One of me most novel sales ever held
in the country was the one here to-
day Of the effects of the late John S.
Wheef fer, of Waterbury. Wheeler ran
general store here during the civil
waT and practically all of the arti-
cleS sold today had ben on shelves
TO 4 over forty years. The stock
Was purchased at war prices, and,
rather than sell at a loss, Wheeler
allowed the goods to remain on the
Shelves, The store was closed over
thirty years ago. Among the articles
sold were boots and shoes, mems
clothing, dress goods, cigars, tobacco,
groceries and, in fact, complete
stock of such goods as were handled
by country stores forty years ago.
Most of the articles were hopelessly
shop worn and out of date, and yalua-
Bile only as curiosities.

UR|AH B. HAROLD is DEAD
PIONEER CITIZEN OF AMERICUS HAS PASSED AWAY
Illness of But Three Days Results Fatally Though Not Strong for Some
Time-tNS Useful Career Citizen Here.

he married Miss Mary Fogle, of Col
umbus, and theirs was indeed long
and happy life together.
This union was blessed by five sons
and three daughters, Messrs. Thomas,
Edward, William, Frank and Charles
Harold; Mrs. S. S. Ships and Misses
Anna and Elizabeth Harold.
Hand in hand, each leaning affec-
tionately upon the other in happiness
and in sorrow, they made life's pill
grimage together until she was call
ed to a bright reward a few years
ago. Today they are once more uni
ted.
Than Mr.. Harold, no other has
done more towards the substantial
building up of Americus A man of
ample fortune he builded well, and
many of the handsomest structures in
the city, and industrial plants as
we'll, were reared hy him.
Mr.. Harold never sought or de-
sired public office, preferring rather
to devote his time to business and
in commercial pursuits.
He was a member of the Episcopal
church, and most generously contri-
buted of his means to that cause
Twenty years ago he was rendered
a position as director of the Central
of Georgia Railway, and during that
period has ably assisted in guiding
the destinies of that great corporation.
There, as elsewhere, he devoted his
best energies to his duty.
For a like period, or perhaps long
er, he has served faithfully as a mem
ber of the Americus Board of Edu-
cation, and as president of that
body was still laboring for the cause
of education.
Americus will miss Mr. Harold
who occupied a sphere peculiarly his
own and one that none other will fill
His life was one of usefulness and
at near three score and ten he lays
| down the burden and sinks at last
to peaceful, fitful sleep
The funeral arrangements will be
completed today and announcement
made tomorrow morning.
in turn beloved, it was in home circles
that his noble traits of character
shone resplendent. At an early age
A man devoted to his family and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-09-11

The announcement at l o'clock yes
terday noon of the death of Mr.. Ur-
iah B. Harold was heard with un-
feigned sorrow throughout the city
in which fifty years of his useful
life had ben passed, and to the up
building of which he had contributed
so much.
1t was a shock indeed to those
friends near and dear and who, only
an hour before, were told his condi-
ton was much improved from his
illness of the day before.
To his family as we'll the end came
with awful suddenness.
Yesterday morning he seemed con-
siderably improved and at 1880 re-
ceived two or three friends in his
room where he had been i'll since
Friday last. So much better did he
appear that a matter of business was
to be attended to at o'clock.
Within few minutes a change
came. The patient rapidly grew
weaker, and within an hour,-the
end.
Several months ago, Mr. Harold
submitted to a severe surgical opera
ton but from this he had apparently
recovered, and daily applied himself
to business in his Office His recent
illness might have resulted from his
former sever trouble.
But the end has come; a giant oak
has been riven by death, and a golden
heart is stilled forever.
Throughout the near seventy years
of his useful career, his kindly acts
and generous deeds were manifold He
was a true and tried friend under
any and all circumstances, and more
particularly when friendship was put
to the test
A man of strictest business integri-
ty and highest sense of honor, he
commanded the respect of all in the
commercial world.
Mr.. Harold was born in Macon
Ga, in February 1889, and the greater
part of his boyhood days was spent
there. Later he removed to Fort
Valley where he started the business
! career which proved so successful
He came to Americus prior to the
Civil war.

KINGS CONDITION SERIOUS
FIeeCy Monarch as Sick" Yesterday as When the

Instead of recovery for King Got
