here just about noon today Of the
downing of Fielder Harley. at Titus
vile, Fla, where he has been spend
ing two or three weeks on pleasure
trip
Mr.. Harley has been very hard at
work for long time and was con-
siderably run down when he left

ing and fishing trip. He had been
at or near Ttusville and reports
from him indicate that his health
was much better and he expected
to return to Valdosta about the first
of May and resume his duties in
his fathers store.
The telegram announcing his death
came 20 DR.. Joe Thomas from MIR.
Charles A. Garnder. Of Tnusville.
No details were given and the tele-
gram merely stated that he had been
drowned and that boat containing
his clothing had drifted ashore. This
would indicate that he had gone
bathing and had probably gotten
over his head The telegram indi-
Gates that no one was with him at
the time.
Mr.. J. H. Harley, the father of the
! deceased, is off on a tri p on the road,
and efforts have been made to get
him both by telegraph and telephone,
, DR.. J. c. Wilson broke the news to
/ Mrs, Harley soon after the telegram
came here. Mrs. Harley will leave

was a pleasure to do business with
him in his fathers store.
His death has caused a shock in
the entire community. There was
no young man here who stood high
er in popular esteem.
His death comes as crushing
blow to his parents. who lost one of

cannon cracker or some fireworks
during Christmas.

father, was located this afternoon at
