General David H. Kimzie.
ATLANTA, July 6.—General David
H. Kimzie. a retired officer of the
United Htates army, died this morning
at the home of hla son-in-law. Lieu
tenant A. M. Ferguson. 162 Ponce de
Leon avenue. Hla death was'the re
sult of a stroke of paralysis received
last November. He had never recov
ered from the effects of the first at
tack and death was not unexpected.
Owing to the long and valiant ser
vice in the army General Kimzie was
widely known, and the news of his
death will cause deep regret. He was
one of the most distinguished officers
of ihe army and he held the highest
esteem and respect of all who knew
him. He had reached the age of 63
years iuid was retired from active ser
vice during August of last year. He
had arrived In Atlanta last April to
spend the summer. Surviving him are
his wife apd six children.
While the complete funeral arrange
ments have not yet been decided upon,
the interment will occur In the na
tional cemetery at Marietta probablv
Thursday. The arrangement* will be
announced later.

EXCURSION HATES
PLAYED WITH SHOT GUN.
Boy Succeeds in Accidentally Killing
or Wounding Three Children.
ROANOKE. Vr.. July 5.—A special
to the Roanoke Times from Graham,
Tazewell county, says: A triple tragedy
occurred this morning on Bluestone
creek, when the 11-year old son of
Hehry GUI. a farmer, accidentally shot
and Instantly killed his brother, aged
5 year*; fatally wounded another
brother. aged 7 years; seriously
wounded his sister, aged 3 years, and
mortally shot a boy by the name of
Holbrook*, aged 11 years.
Young Gill was in an upstairs room
of the Gill home playing with his fnth-
it’s shot gun when it was discharged
the contents passing through the floor
to the room directly below, taking ef
feet In the children who were at play.
One hrother was shot through
heart and expired Instnntly, while
other hrother with the little sister are
so badly wounded that they may not
recover. The Holbrook boy Is literally
riddled with shot and Is almost certain
to die.
The «crurrence has cast a gloom over
the entire neighborhood and people
from the surrounding vicinity are vis
iting the GiU home. The names of the
children are not given at this hour.
No woman’s happi
ness can be complete
without children; it
is her nature to love
and want them
as much 60 as
it is to love, the
beautiful and
pure. The critical ordeal through which the expectant mother must
pass, however, is so fraught with dread, pain, suffering and danger,
that the very thought of it fills her with apprehension and horror.
There is no necessity for the reproduction of life to be either painful
or dangerous. The use of Mother's Friend so prepares the system for
the coming event that it Unsafely passed without any danger. Thi»
great and wonderful
remedy is always
applieaexternally.and
has carried thousands
of women through
the trying crisis without suffering.
