The people of Dublin were great
ly shocked Thursday afternoon to
earn of the sudden death of Mr. K.

and while talking to a frond his
bead was seen suddenly to fall on
bis breast, fn fifteen minutes be
bad passed to the Great Beyond.
Physicians were summoned and
arrived almost immediately, but
every effort to revive the stricken
young man proved futile. The;
awful suddenness of Mr. Perry's
death coupled with bis youth and
great popularity brought forth hun
dreds of expressions of mutual sym
pathy and condolence from his
many friends who sincerely sympa
thize with his bereaved loved ones
by their own feeling of loss and
grief.
Mr. Perry was born on May 21th,
1887, being just 26 years old. He
was one of the best known and
liked young men in this section,
where be has lived all bis life. He
was the son of the late Capt. L C.
Perry, one of the city’s most prom
inent citizens and successful mer
chants. Earnest was one of Dub
lin’s rising young business men, be
ing manager of the Earnest L. Perry
Co. Live Stock Corporation. He
was prominent socially and num
bered bis friend# by bis acquaint
ances. His genial and ready smile,
his sympathetic and unselfish treat
ment of bis friends, bis high sense
uf honor and irreproachable busi
ness integrity will never be forgot
ten by those who knew him. Mr.

“THAT MILLION DOLLAR LOOK"
Go and see 7 his vVonderful
Photo-Play—To Appear at the
Picture Palace Sept. 26-27th.
At my own private and personal expense, I have brought
to this town one of the greatest picture-plays that has ever
been produced.
For years, 1 have been waiting and hoping for some book,
or play, or sermon that would make clear the powerful lesson
that this picture shows. It is a lesson that means greater
success— business success, social success, personal success to
every man who will take it home to himself—and apply it in
his daily living.
1 brought this picture to The Palace because I believe that every red-cor
puseled American man who sees it can reap a profit from it —and become a
bigger man through it —and I want to do my share to get it before as many
folks right here at home as I can. It’s helped me —I want you to enjoy its
help to.
I am not going to spoil your enjoyment, your “thrill” and your excitement by telling
you here what this story is. Wait and enjoy the surprise for yourself.
I’m simply going to go on record with the statement that it will grip you from the first
exposure to the last scene—and make you say a hundred times, “Why wasn’t this picture
ever thought of before? ’ ’
Men have lost untold opportunities; have sacrificed dearest ambitions; have handicapped
the hopes of years, purely and solely through a lack of the knowledge that this picture
vividly and dramatically imparts.
Men have euchred themselves out of big gains, have closed the doors to count
less success chances, have defeated themselves, not only in business, but in politics, in soci
ety —YES, EVEN IN LOVE —because they never studied and mastered, the lesson that this
picture makes clear to them.
If you want to play tne game of success skillfully and victoriously; if you want to be a
dominating factor in life's power circles —then don’t fail to see —
