DEATH AND BURIAL OF Mr..
ALLEN WALKLEY

Though not unexpected the an
nouncement Of the death of Mr.. Allen
Walkley created profound sorrow
throughout our city.
He was seized with seriously ILL
ness some months ago and was taken
to Asheville. N. c.. thinking that he
would be benefited by the invigorat-
ing climate, but all hopes were dis
appointing.
He continued to grow worse and on
Saturday last his spirit passed quietly
to the Great Beyond
Death at all times is an unwelcome
visitor but more SO when one is in the
noon tide of life.
Mr.. Walkley had just entered upon
a mercantile career; he had a large
circle of friends which was constantly
widening; he had wife and three
beautiful little girls. and life held
out for him many pleasing prospects,
yet he met the last conqueror bravely
and was cheerful to the end.
The deceased was born in Mineapo-
lis, So years ago: his mother dying
when he was an infant-he was rear
ed by his aunt, the late Mrs. 7. 7.

wives him.
The remains were brought to Ocala

LOSES TO DuNNELLoN

Brocksyille saved the Ocala fans
the expense of journeying to some Of
the cities in south Florida where they
play league ball, for they got together
the best they could of them and
brought them to Ocala to beat the
,Ocala boys, but try as hard as they
could they failed in every attempt to
win; while on the other hand they
were very fortunate in not being de-
feated for Ocala got men on bases in
almost every inning. and Braswell
was continually in trouble. but he was
equal to the occasion, and came out of
several very bad holes.
After ten innings of play the sun
had gone down and the clouds were
SO dark they put the good night"
sign on the diamond while the score
stood to at the end of the tenth.
Wallace was the selection of the
Ocala team to do the twirling for
Ocala, and he pitched a beautiful
game, and with fine support by his
teammates was never in trouble until
the eighth inning when the first two
got to him, and he gave way to Mick
Ter, who held the visitors in check for
the balance of the game. Leavengood,
who did the receiving, caught the
best game Of the season.
Ocala's lineup was strengthened by
three of High Springs players, and
when the two teams line up for action
this afternoon at 4 o'clock there win
be another good game on.
The Dunnellon ball team came up
via automobile to Ocala Tuesday and
played the Ocala team, in which they
were victorious by the score Of to i.
Epperson was in the box for the Wis

but he was touched up for FIVE hits,
while Luffman. who was in the box for
Ocala, pitched a no-hit game, but on

DR.. w. T. Bell Dead

DR.. w. 7. Bell aged 62, died
Saturday morning at his home
on Cypress avenue DR.. Bell for
several years has been in delicate
health, and a few weeks took his
bed and his condition grew stead
| lily worse until death came.
DIR. Billy, Bell was a gooc
man, a man who was loved b,
everybody who knew him. He
was a son of the late DR.. Jobe
Bell and VINO was one of the
best doctors in the county, and
most beloved citizens and it was
with his father forty-two years
ago at old Purdy, that DR.. w. T.
Bell began the practice of medi-
cine.
The deceased was prominent
in the medicabprofession of this
section and popular with the peo-
pie. He was a member of the M :.
E. church and as long as his
health permitted, was faithful in
his attendance upon all its ordin
ances. His life was spent in do
ing good for others and his faith
in God was manifested in his ev-
cry day manner of living. and
which enabled him to tell his
loved ones that the eternal life
was not far distant and all was
well with his soul.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon at the M. E. church
and was perhaps the largest at
tended funeral ever held in Sel-
mer. The services were impress
i've and were conducted by Rev.
]. B. Maxedon. The floral offer
ings were many and beautiful in
design from the friends of this
good man. A large crowd of sor-
rowing friends and relatives fol-
lowed the remains to Oakhill Gem
etery and laid to rest until the
resurrection morning, when those
of precious memory shall arise
and immortality given those who
kept the faith as did DR.. Bell.
Surviving the deceased are his
widow. a sister, Mrs. Dick Nor
row and two daughters, Mrs. D.
|. Martin and Miss Annie Rea,
to whom we extend our heartfelt
sympathy in their dark hours of
bereavement.

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended TO take the
place of physicians service. A sur
seon should always be summoned as
a precautionary measure where there
is an injury of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured a few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such case a person trained in First
Aid is invaluable not emily to the in
dividual. but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There is perhaps no way of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
Gus disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
countrys toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
ing and Information has already pro-
duced q farreaching and beneficial in
fuence in the prevention of accidents
OH railroads, in mines and in great in.
dustriai concerns.
The benefit of widespread knowl-
edge OF First Aid In the event of a
great disaster, such as train wreck.
an explosion, an earthquake, etc.. is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
(1) the formation and conduct through
Red Cross chapters, OF classes for in
struction In accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in
every industry; (2) the introduction Of
courses Of instruction In high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross Is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at res-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
| do so should, In his own interest, re-
| ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
| Information about the course and in
| struction classes may be had at the
| nearest cbapter headOuarters.
