Dark for Paregoric in His
Hoorn at tlie Hotel Lanier in

News which caused many sad
and sorrowing hearts in Eastman
was recieved Tuesday of the death

thD place, hut recently a practie
in S pnysician of Macon.
<>« Monday ld « ht shortly past
9 o’clock Dr. Latimer complained
to Mr. I. I). Crawford, proprietor
of the Hotel Lanier, of a pain in
lus stomach and said he was going
to bed and bade Mr. Crawford
good night. Between 11 and lit
o’clock he called over the banister
of the second floor to night clerk.
Joe IJarlev, to telephone for a
physician that he was quite ill.
Between 12 and 1 o’clock Dr. Wal
ker arrived, and shortly afterward
Dr. Ilall came. Dr. Latimer told
ihe physicians that about 10
nVioek liis sliunach was 1
l.im a peut Oed, and i„ the dark
lie went to a small medicine case
i «»' 1 ' vh:it he thou S ht was a
bottle of paregoric and took a halt

sensation, mid felt very
peculiar. He got up,struck a light

medicine he had taken, and was
™>T™e.Ho find it was aconite,
He took no medicine to counter
act tlie aconite poison, and when
the doctors arrived it had sopor
meated Ids system that i hey were
powerless to aid him effectually,
They made liyperdermic injection
of stimulants to strengthen him,
but they were of no avail, and
about 5 o’clock he breathed his
last.
The remains were escorted to
this place by Messers. W. A. Da

the memory of liis friend and
brother, after which his brothers
of the Masonic fraternity took
charge of the remains and escorted
them to Wood Lawn cemetery,
where they were interred after
the usual impressive ceremony.
Dr. Latimer resided in Eastman

He was a South Carolinean l>.v

goes out in sympathy to the
crushed mother and mourning
daughter as you draw nearer and
see them enter the buggy, the
older placing her trembling arms
around the sorrowing father to
comfort him. You try to remem
