Death of Mr. Tl L- Miller. After a steady decline in health and after passing through many months of suffering, Mr. T. L. Mil ler died Saturday night at his home near Colliers. Some time ago he went to the hospital in Augusta for treat ment but received no real benefit. During his long illness he received the closest and most devoted atten tion of his children, neighbors and faithful family physician but nothing could arrest the malady that gradu ally sapped his strength and vitality. We do not know the exact age of Mr. Miller but he was not far from the three score and ten mile post, and his long life was spent in the house in which he died. Probably he was born and reared in this old an cestral home. Mr. Miller was a citizen of sterling worth of whom much was heard of good report. He was almost a life long member of Republican^ church, serving as deacon of the church for a number of years. His wife preced ed him to her heavenly home by a bout four years, but he is survived by three* sons, Warren, Murphey and George Miller. The funeral was con ducted at Republican church Sunday afternoon by Rev. A. T. Allen pf Edgefield. The great throng of peo ple who assembled to pay a last trib ute to this good man was an elo quent testimonial of his real worth as a man nd citizen of Colliers com munity. Note of Thanks.
