fight against T. B. for years. He
spent most of his time here with hi
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. If
Mashburn. He had been to Alto
Sanitarium, some of the time he
spent with his mother, Mrs. Bennett
of Axson, where he died. It is sad
for such a young life to be cut off,
but he left the assurance time and
again of his being prepared. All
who associated with him were im
pressed with his talks and prayers.
To all his relatives we sorrow with
them, especially to the aged grand
parents to whom he had become as a
son do we extend much sympathy

Ford and Edison.
The famous inventor and the equal
ly famous manufacturer —Mr. Thomas
A. Edison and MV. Henry Ford, are
occupying ordinary frame residences
side by side near the city limits of
Ft. Myers, Fla. With the wealth and
feme of these two distinguished
Americans, it is somewhat natural to
expect to find about their homes some
thing of the pomp and display usual
ly attendant upon rank, and some
thing of the doing in and coming out
of visitors of more or less rank. Here
one is disappointed.
From the outward appearance of
i|e Surroundings one would ruever
suspect that any other than the most
ordinary Ft. Myers civilian occupied
the premises. That is so much the
better of these two great men and
so much the better for Ft. Myers,
where the least display of differences
in social station would do incalcul
able harm to those most willing but
least able to follow the example set
before them.
The colored people of Ft. Myers
are so proud of the fact that these
two leaders of thought and business
are winter visitors, as are the white
peoplo, and glory in the simplicity of
their living and manners.
Black folks can afford to hang the
pictures of Mr. Ford and Mr. Edi
son along beside that of Abraham
Lincoln, Chas. Summer, Harriet
Leechcr Stowe, W endell Phillips,
Henry Ward Beecher, Theodore
Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie,
whose friendship was real and help
ful.—Florida Sentinel.
