What To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect OF Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes:

AN ocALA NEGRO DROPS DEAD

While awaiting the departure of an
excursion train to Ocala, his home,
H. McClendon, a negro, dropped dead
at the union depot tlast night.
The negro was lettering around the
depot waiting for the hour TO arrive
for the departure of his train. He
did not appear i'll in the least, and
had been talking to several other ne
groes in the depot.
All of a sudden he was seen to
reel and fall to the floor A policeman
rushed to him and found his pulse
very weak. Before a doctor could be
summoned the negro had died. Be
yond the fact that his name was H.
McClendon and he was from Ocala,
nothing else in connection with the
negro could be learned.
The body was turned over to an I'M
dertaker who will prepare it for ship
ment to Ocala. The sudden death OF
the negro created considerable ex-
citement among the excursiOnists
who. for the most part, were negroes

THE PURSE AND DIAMOND RINGS
RESTORED TO THEIR OWNER

We received a note from Mr.. Ben
E. Raysor yesterday saying that the
lost purse containing the diamond
rings, gold eye glasses, money and
other articles OF value had been found
and returned to him.
The purse was found by a little ne
gro girl, the daughter of Grant James,
who works Tor the Standard Lime
Company at Kendrick.
Mr.. Raysor says that he had some
receipted bills in the purse and as
Grant James knew him he immediate
ly brought the purse to him. Not a
single article was missing. The purse
contained three handsome diamond
rings which Mt. Raysor purchased
from Mr.. A. z. Burnett, the jeweler,
this city, and paid him $3.50 for each;
a gold chain and locket; two pair of
gold trimmed eye glasses; s17.45 in
cash, and other articles of value.
Notwithstanding there was a re-
ward of 800 offered for the return
of the purse and its contents, the lit
tie girls father refused to receive
a dollar. He said that the things did
not belong to him and he felt that it
was his duty to return them to their
rightful owner, and that it gave him
immense pleasure to do so.
Mr.. Raysor says don't tell him there
are no honest negroes-that like the

In the Miami Metropolis voting con-
test, and in which a $500 piano is to
be given the winner, we notice that
Mrs. Ollie Hand, former Miss Ollie
Williams of this city, is still in the
lead. We also notice that little Miss
Gussie Douglass, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. G. A. Douglass, also formerly
residents of this city, is a close second
in the contest. Little Miss Douglass
is about six years old and a great ia
vorite in Miami.
