(From Tuesday’s Daily.)
One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in Valdosta in a long time
was that of Vivian Stevens, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Stevens, last
night at 9:45 o'clock.
The announcement of his death
was not unexpected, Vnough it was a
great shock to the many friends of
the young man, as well as his family.
All day Sunday and Monday his con
dition was such as to destroy all hope
for his recovery.
He had been ill with typhoid fever
for six weeks or more, his physical
condition not being good when he was
first taken. He was a bard worker
and full of ambition. After working
all day at the store he would attend
a night school in the evenings
seeking to improve himself as muoh
as possible. From this great strain
his system was considerably run
down.
At the beginning of his illness it
was known that he had a hard and
probably a long fight ahead of him.
His condition remained satisfactory
to his family and the attending phys
ician until at the end of the third
week he grew much worse, but soon
rallied from it, encouraging the hope
that the crisis had been passed.
He was apparently getting on very
well until last Monday when his
fever began to rise again and contin
ued to do so daily until Thursday,
when his symptoms were much worse.
They were the same Friday and Sat
urday. He remained conscious all of
the time until Sunday morning and
was cheerful to the end. Sunday
morning he passed into a state of
coma from which he never rallied.
His death was expected almost any
time Sunday or Monday and it was
only his wonderful vitality that kept
him alive. *< •,
His funeral services will be coh-
ducted. this afternoon at four o’clock
from the family residence on River
street. Rev. Mr. Wallace of the Chris
tian c’"irch officiating. The inter
ment will occur In. the city cemetery.
The following young men will act as
pall bearers: Paul Myddelton, Thom
pson Fender, Winston McKey, M. J.
Pain, Nelson Holcomb and Percy
Thigpen. , , .
The deceased was the third son
and fourth child of Mr. and Mrs. J.
G. Stevens and was Just twenty years
of age. He received his schooling at
the Valdosta institute and was one
of the brightest, most ambitious boys
that attended the school. For the
past two or three years, he ha3 been
with his father in the grocery bus!-
ness, and though his career was short
It was an admirable one. He was
honest, courteous and industrious in
the fullest degree. He was Jovial,
accommodating and loved out-of-door
sports, but he allowed nothing to
come between him and his duties
Hla sterling worth was shown by
the fact that after working hard all
day he attended a night scaool, where
he could Improve himself and become;
better equipped for the hard battle of
life. Older people had their eyes
upon him and predicted a bright fu
ture for him. That such a young
life should be cut off at such a time
is one of the mysteries that finite
minds cannot understand, unless
be that he might receive early the re
ward which comes for the well-spent
life.
The bereaved parents, the devoted
sister and the loving brothers of the
deceased have the deepest * sympathy
of the people of this city and section
in their great sorrow.

Evidently, chewers cannot resist

more than any other chewing to
bacco, and every man that chews

SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon

way to hide poor tobacco improp

For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco s sake, there is no chew

Why the Least Gallons Paint Wears Longest Q
The heavier the body of a paint the less gallons it takes. The
less gallons it takes the stronger it is. The stronger it is the
longer it wears. Hence, “Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer.”
The two go together. You can’t get one without the other.
