Mr A. C. Womble
On Fehiuary 4th he was taken
to Donalsonville Hospital, where
he underwent an operation. After
suffering for four weeks this good
man passed away. When visited
during bis illness he would at
times seem to be getting along all
right; then again there would
eeem not to be any chance for
him.
He was visited by bis many
friends while in the hospital. We
can only think Low much his fami
ly will miss him beside his many
friends. ,
We can sympathize with bis
family and friends.
But as God giveth life so be
takeih life. He gave bis only be
gotten son that whosoever beliveth
on him should not perish but have
everlasting life.
The deceased was a great worker
in the church, a good citizen, and
a compassionate friend to ail b<
met.
He was called to answer the
death summon Sunday night pro
bably about midnight February
28th.

Meeting of the Board
of Education
The Board of Education of Mil
ler County met in regular monthly
meeting in the office of the Su
perintendent ou Tuesday, March
2nd’ the following members being
present: L. E, Calhoun, B. B.
Grimes, E. M. Sheffield and J. 0
Lane.
In addition to routine business,
it was ordered that office be kept
open ojy on Saturday of each
week during the remainder of the
school tertp for the sale of text
books. This was done on account
of the limited demand for books
at this time of year, the profit on
the books sold not being sufficient
to justify the expense of employ
ing a clerk for other days of the
week.
The sum of §25.00 was voted to
Harmony school to assist in buy
ing books for the school library.
The superintendent submitted
hie monthly report wliioh’was ap

Merchandise Burns
Sunday afternoon goods of the
Consolidated Grocery Store, Mr.
W. H. Robert j, Prop’r. and Mr.
R. Kimbrel, Mgr. were found to
he burning.
Several days ago when a car
load of cow feed, chicken feed and
other heavy groceries came in, it
was neatly stacked against ti e
wall to-ward the west.
This is a solid brick wall be
tween the two stores in which the
Messrs Kimbrel and H. Stein
merchandise, except in one place
where an opening was iaft a few
I feet from the rear for a chimney
jin Mr Stein’s store. Last week
being disagreeable weather, the
chimney was used almost contin
ually, thereby heating the wall
hot enough to fire the sacks con
taining the feed that were directly
against the chimney.
Fortunately the fire was dis
covered about 4 o'clock P. M., in
I time to put it cut before any ma-
I terial damage was done, and in
I time prove conclusive how the tire
I originated.
