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.

I wish sincerely to thank all voters
who supported me in the recent pri-|
mary election, and shall endeavor to
justify their support by rendering]

vice throughout my term of office.

tion.
