also Mrs. G. D. Winston and Miss
Esther Bennett, of Bushnell. Mrs.
James Nairn had some beautiful
gold and silver floss work, table
covers. A curiosity was there in the
form of an old clock, made in Eng
land in 1855, which, with its inter-
esting history attached, was shown
by Mr.. G. W. Baker, of Oxford. A
hand-stitched table mat made by a
man at Bombay, India, while in the
English navy, containing nearly
eighty-four thousand stitches, was a
pretty thing. Frank Nelson sent a
sample of what a boy can with a
pocket knife, while Claude Koonce,
of Coleman, showed the beauty of
ordinary COW horns when polished
and made into a hat rack. We have
not described all the nice things
Sumter sent to the fair, We have not
the space. But we must mention the
beautiful green cane which Mr. W.
F. Hays, of Webster, sent and
which took first prize. A card on
this cane said, I'VE raise cane in
Sumter for the longest" and when
| it is considered that the cane reach
ed way up into the roof of the build
! ing, standing on the table, that truth
was self-evident.
The exhibits were placed in order
| by Mr.. T. D. Dueren and James
Marin, who stood by and exploited
Sumter's merits in every particular.
No preference was shown to any
portion of the county. but it was
clearly demonstrated that it was a
Sumter exhibit.
Those having in charge the Sum-
ter exhibit wish to express many
thanks shown by the fair managers
and especially to the ladies who
were extremely liberal with the
space allotted to them
Sumter county was treated royal
! l. by the whole of Ocala, and we
hope next year we will send a more
creditable and larger exhibit. We
need a building Of our own, and We
hope to have it next year.

LIFE'S WORK WE'LL DONE

The country at large is saddened
to learn of the death of Lieut.-Col.
David Dubose Gaillard, OF the United
States army, who directed the en-
gineering work in the Culebra cut, a
division of the Panama canal, who
died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore Friday.
Lieut.-Col. Gaillard had been a
patient at the hospital since August
II last, suffering from a growth in
the head, the result of seven years
arduous labor in the tropical climate
Of the canal zone. He failed grad
ually but steadily, and for the last
two months had been in a state Of
coma due to the pressure of the
cranial growth upon the brain cells.
The physicians decided some time
ago that an operation was useless
and might hasten his death.
He is survived by his widow and a
son, Lieut.. David P. Gaillard, L. S.
army Both were at the bedside
when the end came.
Lieut.-Col. GailIard was born at
Winnsboro, S. c., in 1854. He grad
uated from West Point Military
Academy in 1884, and since that
time had won many honors in the
engineering service. A bill was in
troduced in Congress last month
promoting him to the rank of colo
mel in recognition of his distinguish
ed services, which eliminated in the
