 This startling record has been maintained throughout the country during the past year In the great races held recently on the Pacific coast, in the larger eastern and southern events. the Miller carbuetef has been one of the most prominent factors in winning.

DEATH OF A WORTHY COLOREC
WOMAN.

Annie E. Graham, wife OF Phil
Graham, a we'll known colored man of
this city, after a protracted illness
of eighteen months, died Friday night.
The deceased was in all respects
a good wOman-one of the very best
of her race.
Though occupying an humble sphere
in life, she was possessed of real ge-
MUS. and under an anonymous sigma.
ture was the author of a number of
poems some of which attracted more
than local notice.
We remember that we sent one OF
them to a friend of ours, who was
himself poet and literary critic, and
he pronounced it equal to Paul Louis
Dunbar's best.
The funeral of this worthy woman
we understand will be held sometime
this afternoon from the church of
which she was a member.

DEATH OF MR.. THOMAS SHEER.

Mr.. Thomas SherOuse of Brooks
vile, but formerly of Reddick, in this
county, died at the Marion county
hospital Monday night of blood pois-
oning, caused by a fall which he sus-
tanned few weeks ago at Brooks
vile, in which his leg was badly hurt.
1t was thought advisable by his ply
sicians to have the injured leg ampu-
tated, but Mr. Sherouse did not want
to have the operation performed, but
after some time consented and he
was brought to the hospital here. but
unfortunately the delay was too long
and Mr.. Sherouse succumbed to the
effects of the operation.
Mr.. Sherouse is survived by his
wife, two sons and two daughters and
by many relatives in this county and
by a host of friends here and in
Brooksville He was a member of an
old and respected family of Marion
county and his death is greatly re-
GREETED.

burial, and the funeral was held there

to say that Lincoln Beachey, or any

To enter this branch of the military

FELL FROM LOFT,

How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet of
Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up into
a loft to get some building material,
just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
pile of wood, knotted and gnarled. 1t
was nasty tumble, and Mr.. Putnam
was injured painfully in the back, he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head to foot.
The next day he bought a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within q very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the lameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c., SOC. and $1.00.

J. F. Martin, who reside on South
Sixth street, was taken very sudden
ly i'll. He grew rapidly worse. and
in a few hours it was seen that he
could not recover. The little fellow
died during the night, the cause OF
his death being acute diphtheria
He was just two years of age and
was the joy and pride of his parents
who are inconsolate in their grief
and their friends share their sorrow
with them.
The funeral of little Charles was
held Sunday afternoon from his pa

of DR.. Gross, Rev. A. H. Cole, the Wis
iting Methodist minister, had charge
of the service which was attended by
quite a number of the friends of the
