J. M. Timmen? In a Precarious Condi
lion.
J. M. Timmons, a painter, was ar
rosted in town yesterday morning.?
Later ho was taken severely sick iu tho
station bouse and Monday evening was
in a critical condition,
Timmons was urrested on a warrant
charging him with forging a check.
'I ho warrant was sworn upon tho in
formation of Simon Diamond. The
^amount of tho check was fifty-four dol
fla's, and tho signature appoaring was
'J. C. Caroy."
Tho supposition Is that Timmons took
poison. A physician stated that ho
had symptoms of strychnine poison.?
The doso wa9 takon at about 10:30 a.
m , If takon at all.
Timmons' hablt9 wero not good and
ho had been on a spree for some days.
It is possible that ho is sufforing
merely from tho effects of liquor.
Mrs. Law's Death.
Our community was shocked Sunday
morning, Nov. 21th. to learn that Mrs.
John G. Law, wifoof the devoted and
bolovod pastor of tho Presbyterian
Church in Ocala, had died shortly af
ter midnight Saturday
The surprise was all tho greater that
while some few know she was sufforing
from nervous troubles, the general
public was not aware of her sickness.
Her funoral too* place Monday af
ternoon and tho sermon was pronohed
by Rev. Dr. McCorklo of Maitlaud,
former pastor of the Ocala Presbyte
rian Church.
It wus just such words of comfort and
consolation as a good and dlvlno man Is
lit to oxpross on such a sorrowful oc
sion.

Late Literary Note. '
Two vory important facts in connoc- j
tlon with tho new oraof magazlnos aro
illustrated in the Docembor Cosmopol
itan. Its fiction is by Stovcnson, tho
last story writton before his death.
"Outda," Sarah Grand, Zangwill, ana
tho beginning of James Lane Allen's
now Kentucky realistic story, "Butter
flies." Probably no stronger array of
fiction has over boen presented in any
magazino?monoy could not buy better.
Nor has any magazine over had a lar
ger number of roally distinguished ar
tists engaged upon tho illustration of
a Single number. The reador might bo
puzzled to know how such a number
can bo made at tho price of ten cents.
But tho magazine itself affords tho so
lution It contains 139 pages of adver
tising, which, as tho publishers an
nounce, is from $4000 to $8000 moro net
advertising than was over before
ited in any magazine, of any kind,
any country. It, breaks tho
, rocord in tho publishing busl
Moreovor, the cost of tho artists
.?Jhors who appear in this number
llvided amongst 100,000 copies,
bringing tho cost per copy proportion
ately low. Tho Cosmopolitan thinks that
tho ton cent magazine, bringing, as it
does, tho host In art and litorature Into
all classes, is an educational movement
second In importance only to that of
the public schools.

A MONEY SAYING PLANT.
The Mont Economical sle?m Plants in
the Country.
The follow log clipping Is from the
Boston Journal of Commerce, one of
the most reliable authorities on manu
facturing in this country:
A OREAT SUCCESS IN LOW-COST
STEAM.
- The Corliss Steam Engine Co., Prov
idence, has recently put a new steam
plant into the Berkeley Co.'s cotton
mill, Berkeley, R. I., that is causing
much attention among steam users,
and Is probably running more econom
ically than any mill plant in this coun
try at 125 pounds pressure. A very
caroful test has been made of this plant
by Mr. Dean, of the firm of Dean &
Main, mechanical engineers and steam
experts, of Boston, and it produced
power at a cost of 1 4-10 pounds of coal
{or horse power and .evaporated
2 68-100 pounds of water per horse
E>wor. This test was made by Mr.
oan, who has made many similar ones
in the most careful manner, and the
result obtained is correct. This, as
far as we are able to learn, is one of,
and wo believe tho beat showing that
has ever been made in this country.
Tho Berkeley Co.'s mill contains 50,000
spindles', so It will be seen this ex
trom?ly low cost was not obtained from
a small steam plant. The Corliss Co.
has great reason to be congratulated
on tho above succoss.
Tho btcam plaht of the Laurens Cot
ton Mills is im exact duplicate of this
one put In for the Berkeley Co.'s Mills.
Tho l .aureus plant is furnished by the
samo company and in every respect the
two plants are alike.
Therefore the steam plant of tho
Laurens Mills will be run oheapor than
that of any other in America, tho
Berkeley Mills plant alone excepted.
The ostimatc for other mills is never
less than two pounds of coal per horso
pdwor and this now and improved plant
will consequently save as compared
with others' about 33? por cent in fuel.
Of course t hut is an immense saving.
Tho fact is that the Laurens Mill is
to bo ouo of the most modern and sub
stantial of all tho new.mills in con
struction and equipment and at the
samo tlmo remarkably economical ?in
every particular.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
TO THE MEMORY OF MR. JNO. D. BYRD.
The Bethany Presbyterian Sunday
School pays the following tribute to the
rr emory of one of its deceased members:
John Downs Byrd died on the 11th of
November, 1895, aged twenty-four years.
Ho who holds in his hand the
keys of tho Kingdom of Heaven bade
our young friend and brother enter upon
the higher and wider field of service re
served for those who behold the face of
the King in hie beauty. But though re
moved from the service of earth, when
the strength and beauty of his young
manhood were just reaching their full
maturity, the comforting influences of
young Christian life remain behind to
inspire those who knew him in life to
emulate his Christian example. Seldom
have we been called upon to mourn the
departure of one so universally beloved.
Our church ban lost one of its moat ex
emplary members and our Sunday
school a most punctual atteudant and
faithful Secretary. A void is left which
will indeed be hard to fill; for his life
from boyhood up to manhood had borne
tn? frtiii? of sincere piety, both in the
inner circle of his home and in his daily
intercourse with all with whom he came
in contact? a loving and devoted son and
brother, upon whom his loved ones
leaned for guidance and support. In all
these spheres the memory of JOHN
DOWNS BYRD will linger as a sweet
fragranco, because into them all he car
ried the love and spirit of Christ and
filled the brief yoars of his earthly ca
reer with a pure and spotless life; and
while a deep sense of personal loss
weighs upon the heart of tho writer of
this brief memorial from whom has been
taken a tried friend and an efficient co
?orker in the good Master's cause, and
while our prayer rises daily to the God
of all comfort in behalf of the stricken
and rgrely bereaved family, yet the
thought comes to us with unspeakable
comfort that only tho good and pure are
prepared to die; and after all it is not
utrunge th.it our dear Lord should come
quickly and tako those who are ready
for an entrance into Iho home that he
lniB prepared for those who love Him.
While standing around his grave and
hearing the deep heart-Bobs of his loved
ones, I could but realize how truthfully,
"Ho giveth His beloved sleep."
"Oh blessed sleep that will not wake
For tears, nor prayers, nor love's sweet
sake.
O perfect rest that knows no pain.
No throb, no thrill of heart or brain.
O. life sublime beyond all speech,
That only the pure thro' dying reaob.
God understands, and Ills ways are
right.
Bid His beloved a long good night."

About a Laurens Boy*
General Charles Edward Hooker,
the mo?*, distinguished of Missis
sippi's living military heroes, is in
Atlanta to day. den. Hooker is
not an ofheer "by birth," but the
empty sleeve that hangs by his
side proclaims that he won his ti
tle In the days when brave men
plucked honors from the red hand
of fratricidal war.
The story behind General Hook
er's loss of an arm as told by him
self, is this: "it occurred during
Grant's siege of Vlcksburg in '63,"
said he: "I was in command of artil
lory and my battery Was on a steep
hill on the lino of fortification be
fore the city. While watching the
fight one day my servant came up
and showed 'me a spent ball that
had struck him. It occurred to me
that I ought not to expose a faith
ful negro, and I ordered him to take
my tent and place it in the ravine,
where our horses and wagons were
corralled, about fifty yards to the
rear. The next morning, Friday
It was. my lieutenant was killed,
and while we wore burying him,
the Union forces opened up a heavy
cannonading. My servant enme
up with my horse, and as he stood
holding the rein for me, a solid
shot came by and took off my
arm and another at the same in
stant took off the negro's head. It
was a bad move for both of us" con
cluded the general/
General Hooker is u candidate
for tho United States senate, and
although an advocate of the free
coinage of silver he claims to boa
loyal party man. "I have said in
all my speeches," said he, "and I
say it again if the democratic party
in its national convention adopts
what is commonly known as the
sound money platform, I shall sup
port-its candidates. I believe In the
rule of the majority, and If the ma
jority want the gold standard I will
go with them. I havo been asked in
8ovcral placos, where I have spok
en, and that has always been my
answer."
General Hooker was called to
Memphis on business and came by
Atlanta to see the exposition. He
will remain several days, staying
at tho Klmball.?Atlanta Journal.

Real Property is not returned this
year.
It will rave much time to taxpayers,
also greatly facilitate tho work of tho
Assessot, if every person before leaving
homo will mu\o out a complete le:t of
every it^m of personal property in the
following order: Hortes, Cattle, roulos,
ahoep and goats) hogs, watches, organs
and piano:', buggies, wagons and carri
ages, dogs, merchandise, machinery and
engines, moneys, notes and accounts
ab ?ve indebtedness, and all other prop
erty including household.
Tt is always required that the Auditor
get the first given name of the taxpayer
in full.
Under the head of place of residence
on tax returns give tho townsliip.
All male citizens between the ages of
twenty-ono and fifty years, on tho 1st
day of January, 1800, except thoao who
aro incapable of earning a onpport from
being maimed or from other causes are
deemed taxable polls.
And every taxpayer is required to
give tho number of their school district.
After the 20th day of February next
fifty per cent, penalty will bo attached
for failures to make returns.
In every community thero are persons
who cannot read or that do not take a
newspaper. Those more fortunate may
do BUCh persons a great favor by telling
them of tho time to make returns or by
returning for them.
Tho assessing and collecting taxes is
all done in tho sumo year, and wo have
to aggregate tho number and value of all
horses, mules, cattle and other pieces of
personalty, as well as the acres of land,
lots and buildings and their value, that
thero is In the County, and bavo tho
same on file in Comptroller General's
olllco by the 30th day of Juno of each
year, and from that time to the first day
of October the Auditor and Treasurer's
duplicate have to be completed and an
abstraot of tho work in the Comptroller's
office by that time, which will show at a
glance that tho Auditor has no time to
tako roturns or nnvthing eleo much be
tween the 1st day of March and tho 1st
day of October but work on tho hooka
and the blanks. We hope thereloro
that all taxpayers will mako their re
turns in time.

Would You Accept A First Class High Grade
Bicycle if it Were Offered You Free?
The Advertiser will give a fine Bicycle to the boy or girl, man
or woman or child who will bring in the largest list of subscribers be
tween now and February i, iS(j6, the cash to accompany the subscrip
tion.
Is an "Acme" Machine made by the Acme Cycle Company, o,
Elkhart, Indiana. The Winner of the Machine may make his
own selection from their catalogue.
The "Acme" Bicycles cost One Hundred, Ninety and Eighty
five Dollars each. The winner makes his or her choice from the
Catalogue, regardless of price.
teiMtoi @f. Hit ?Mti^U
All you have to do is to get cash subscribers to The ADVERTISER.
Any boy 01 girl can get subscribers. Any person young or old can get
this fine bicycle by making a little effort. A list of live subscribers may
win it. If a lady wins the bicycle she may get a ladies' wheel. Or she
may get a gentleman's wheel an<l sell it if she prefers.
It is a good plan to begin work at once.
As soon as you get a subscriber send in his name and the money so
that the paper may be promptly sent to him. State that you are a con
testant for the bicycle and an accurate list will be kept of all the names
you send. Two half year or four three months subscribers will be
counted in the contest as one.
No Loss Possible.
Not Even of Time. "If 1 don't get the largest list I shall have had
my trouble for nothing" yon say. No you won't either. The Adver
tiser will give at the end ot the contest, except to the winner of the
bicycle, twenty-five cents for each subscriber sent in by a contestant.
So if you get forty subset 'lburs you may win the bicycle. If you don't
you get ten dollars anyhow.
No person in any way connected with The ADVERTISER will In
allowed to enter the contest.
Don't lose a minute. Begin at once. Who gets the "jump" has a
big advantage.

equal, if not superior to many of

tho most graceful and lightest
