MR. LOWERY SERIOUSLY ILL.
The people of Douglas were greatly
shocked Wednesday afternoon by the
news that Mr. O. R. Lowery had had
a stroke of paralysis, which affected
his entire right side. As we go to
press his condition is still critical and
much anxiety is felt for him.
Few friends knew of his illness as
he had been away from his business
only one day.
Mr. Lowery, who is proprietor and
manager of Lowery’s Grocery Store,
‘is one of the town’s best citizens and
much interest is being manifested in
his condition.
Mr. J. M. Kirkland, of Waycross,
spent Friday in the city.

The convention will end with a grand
reception and ball at the Richmond
Hotel, which has been designated the
convention headquarters and at which
the registration booth will be opened

SUDDENLY SUNDAY
A very sad death occurred in this
city on last Saturday night about 12
o’clock when Mr. V. C. Palmer passed
away at his home on Madison avenue
after an illness of only a few hours.
Mr. Palmer had been complaining of
a headache for several days but there
was nothing out of the ordinary ap
parently in -his condition. On Satur
day afternoon he worked in his yard,
and later in the evening after he re
tired and slept some, he raised up in
the bed complaining of a violent head
ache. A doctor was summoned and
before he arrived, the sick man passed
away. It developed into paralysis at
the last.
Mr. Palmer moved to this city with
his family last November, and was
employed by the G. & F. as conductor.
He leaves a wife and two children be
sides a host of friends to mourn his
untimely death.
The funeral and burial services took
place on Monday at Edison, Ga., his
old home, where a large circle of
friends gathered to pay their last re
spects.
