DIED THIS AFTERNOON
At AUbURNDALE

Mrs. Chas. H. Barr died this after
noon at 1855 at her home in Au-
burndale from the effects of bichlor-
ide of mercury tablets which she
took by mistake two weeks ago yes

crushing blow to her family and
friends, who, however, had steeled
themselves for the worst, knowing
that it was only question of time
when this powerful drug would take
this lovely young woman as it's vic
tim. Shewa thought to have been
improving for time, but for the
past four days her condition has been
steadily growing worse, and it was
known that there was no hope for
her. Two physicians, two trained
nurses and her husband and mother
We're constantly at her bedside, CIV
ing her every attention and doing
everything in their power to bring
back the glow of health, but all to
no avail
The body will be shipped to Mrs.
Bars old home in Pennsylvania to-
night, accompanied by Mr.. Barr and
Mrs. Griggs. A party of Lakeland
friends are planning to go up this
afternoon to Auburndale to be with
the Borrowing family until train
time. The Elks of this city have
ordered a beautiful floral wreath to
be placed on the casket when it
reaches Jacksonville.
