MR.. DAN SESSIONS
DIES ON SIDEWALK
Well Known Brentwood Citizen
Expires Suddenly on Streets
Friday Morning.

Friday morning Mr.. d. j. Sessions
fell to the sidewalk in front of w.
W. Massey's store in Brentwood and
was dead before assistance could
reach him. Prior to his death he had
been in apparently good health and
was in his usually happy mood. 1t IS
thought that an attack of heart fail
ure was the cause of his death.
Mr.. Sessions, who was unmarried,
was about Sc years of age, and was
the only remaining member OF a
large family, his parents, brothers
and sisters having preceded him to
the grave.
For a number of years he had been
in the employ of Holland & Hills
warehouse, and won the friendship
and confidence of both his employers
and their patrons, who will join his
innumerable other friends in sincere
sorrow on account of his death
The funeral occurred at the Meth
odist church in Brentwood Sunday
morning at $50 o'clock, conducted
by Rev. J. N. Hudson, the pastor, who
in a tender manner told of the de-
ceased's many admirable traits.
After the services at the church
the Brentwood Camp Woodmen OF the
World took charge of the remains
and escorted them to the new Bron-
wood cemetery, where they were in
tered with Woodmen honors. Mr..
Sessions was one of the charter mem
/ bers of the Bronwood camp of Wood
men, and served as its consul COM
mander until last January, when he
declined reelection. AS an evidence
of his popularity among his fellow
sovereigns about rs of them formed
the honorary escort and participated
/ in the funeral services.

PRISONER FIRED
SASSER CALABOOSE
Negro Confined For Fighting Sought
Liberty Through Flames, and
Nearly Loses His Life.

Henry Jenkins, an ebony rued cit
izen, is confined in the Terrell county
jail on the charge of arson. One day
last week Jenkins got into fight
with several other negroes, and be-
sides getting slashed with pocket
knife was given a fine for his part
in the scrap. He was unable to pay
the fine, and was confined in the Sas-
ser guard house in lieu of the fine.
jenkins grew tired of the confine-
ment and determined to seek his lib
erty by burning hole in the prison
walls large enough for him to es-
cape. The flames soon grew to such
an alarming extent that jenkins cried
for help, an he was soon extricated
from his perilous position by near
by citizen breaking the lock to the
Jail door. The calaboose, however,
was soon destroyed by fire, and Jenk-
ms finds himself facing the charge of
arson.

MOTHERS REMEDY
FOR BRUISES
Children's Bumps, Sprains and
Minor Hurts Quickly Relieved
by Sloan's Liniment

1t is the very nature of children to
hurt themselves-to come crying to
mother with little fingers bruised, with
heads bumped, with sprained ankles
and wrists.
They are painful hurts, too. But
their pain and sting can't survive the
gentle use of this liniment. A single
application of Sloan's Liniment and
the little fellows bravely kept back
tears give way to smiles. His hurt is
relieved.
In every home where there are chill
dren a bottle of Sloan's Liniment is .
necessity. :
Aching muscles, rheumatism, lun-
bago, stiff neck, bacRache, chilblains,
etc, can be effectively relieved with
Sloan IS Liniment. Cleaner than mussy
ointmentS or plasters.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c., SOC. and $1,00.

AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE
ON THE BRONWOOD ROAD
DR.. J. B. Stapleton and Family Have
Narrow Escape Saturday Night.

Narrow Escape Saturday Night.
Saturday night as DR.. j. B. Staple
ton and wife and two children were
returning to Dawson from Brentwood
his automobile collided with an auto
mobile driven by William Burkes, a
negro, who was going towards Bron-
wood. Mrs. Stapleton and the baby
she was holding in her arms were
thrown out of the car, but were only
slightly bruised. DR.. Stapleton and
his four-year-old son were not I'M
seated, and the first question the lit
tie fellow asked was, Papa, is the
car hurt?" Both automobiles were
badly wrecked, and Burke was pain
fully injured in the right knee.
The accident happened near the
Williams place on straight, open
road, and no one seems able to place
the responsibility for the wreck. 1t
was raining at the time, and both
windshields were so spattered with
water that the vision of the drivers
was obscured

Human life depends upon vegetation.
We would all starve if vegetation
ceased for one year But vegetation
depends upon the birds, who protect
it from destruction by insects, Hu-
man life therefore depends upon the
birds. All insectivorous birds in this
country are decreasing ten per cent
each year. Unless we do something
to protect them humanity must suf-
fer. We can protect and feed them,
and boys can put up bird houses SO
arranged that cats cannot get to the
nests. IL does not cost anything TO
belong to a bird club or society, for
il costs nothing to be kind to all ami
mails. Teachers have the best chance
to put this before children, by ex-
amples of kindness and letting chill
dren occasionally tell of kind deeds
they have done. PROTECT THE BIRDS.
