Bloom, met with a distressing atciueni wnicn may result in tne loss - 1 1 1 . ., . of sight of one of his eyes. A piece ot brass wire bent in circular form was lying on the bureau, and he pick ed it up, and a moment later his father, who was in the room, heard him scream, and turning to him found one end of the wire penetrating the child s eye. He had pulled the wire out straight and one end slipped from his fingers, and as it snapped together the end struck his eye. The wound is very painful and the eye is greatly inflamed, but the little boy is as biave and patient as a Trojan. A EEMAEKABLE MAN PASSES AWAY Died at his home in Leesburg, Fla., at 2:30 Wednesday morning, June 23, 1807, Thomas Trench, aged 00 years, 2 months and 23 days. Thus passed away a man whose his tory furnishes some remarkable par ticulars. He was born in Schenectady, N. Y , April 1, 1807, and lived there until his teens, when he went to Ithaca, N, Y., and ran a paper mill for his father. He subsequently removed to Patter son, In. y., and established a paper mill of his own. While there, he in vented and operated the first continu ous printing press, a machine that was fed with an endless sheet ot paper and printed both sides at once. For this he was awarded by the Franklin In stitute a silver medal, which is now in possession of his only son, Mr. C. C Trench, of this city. In 1840 he removed to the vicinity of Bloomsburg, Pa., where he bought a grist mill and converted it into paper mill. On October 7 th, 1856 this was destroyed by nie, but he re built it the following yea and con tinued to manufacture paper until 1 88t, when he was attracted by the climate and opportunities for invest ment to remove to Florida. Since then, though retaining valuable inter ests at Bloomsburg, he had made Leesburg his home and in the mean time induced his son and iamiiy to come here to reside. During his sojourn here he acquired a large amount of valuable property including orange groves, town lots and residences. He had an abiding faith in the future of this section, which not even the great freezes of 1894-5 serv ed to shake. He was one of the most industrious energetic, persevering men we ever saw, battling to the last with wonder tul persistence against the increasing infirmities of age. Physical leebleness, the result of accumulated years, did not dim the keenness of his mind nor balk his determination in the accom plishment of an object. An attack of paralysis about a year ago finally quenched his remarkable physical enenrv, but not his indomita ble spirit. Since then he steadily de clined and recently his many friends here have been in daily expectancy of hearing the sad news of his final de parture to the shadowy realms of the forever. Mr. Trench was of Scotch descent and inherited all the rugged honesty and unswerving fixedness of purpose characteristic of that race of people. His wife teceded him to the grave before he came to Florida. He was attended during the past year by Dr. J. T. Green and lovingly nursed by Mrs. Trench and he daughters, his grandchildren. Besides the only son named, he leaves one sister, Mrs. Martha Evans of Denver, Colorado, to muurn his loss. His body, in charge of his son, left here by the F. C. & P. train at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning for 31oomsburg, Pa., where it will be in terred. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the whole community. Leesburg Ha. Commerctal. The remains arrived in Bloomsburg on Saturday. EA0HEE3 FOR BLOOM SCHOOLS.

Do you cough a great deal, especially when lying 4nu7n Ar vou hoarse at times? Docs nearly every cold you take settle in your throat? These "throat coughs" are very deceptive. . Don't neglect them. Troches, or cough syrups won't touch the spot. You must take remedies that will enrich the blood, tone up the nerves 1 and heal the in flamed membranes. SCOTT'S EMULSION of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos phites contains such remedies. It has wonderful nourishing and healing powr. The cause of the cough is removed the whole system is given new life and vigor and the danger from threatening lung trouble is swept away. Book about it free.
