His xioath brought a, feeling of deep sad ness to the community, where it had ^t&bp A f^cxpectei 'that he would recover, despite his long critical illness. Mr. Belser was first taken ill just five weeks ago when returning from, a business trip ot McClellanville. It was thought at the time he was suf fering from ptomaine poisoning from eating oysters, t and he was treated for this. After a partial recovery he suffered a relapse, and it was found that he was suffering with a severe case of appendicitis. An operation was decided on, but the disease had reached an advanced stage, and his condition even before the operation was pronounced critical. For four weeks he fought for his life, and with a strong constitution and his confi dence that he would recover, aided with surgical skill, it was thought that he would pull through. But sev eral backsets came and, despite all that could be done for him, it was seen in the last few days that he was gradually growing weaker and could not long continue unless there was a decided turn for the better. Instead, a turn came for the worse last night, after which he gradually grew weaker until the end. J, B.
