The death of Mr, William Benner
occurred at his home a short distance
south of the Old Fort on Sunday even-
ing at about nine o'clock, after a short
illness of only a few days duration,
from a complication of diseases,
About ten days before his death Mr,
Benner caught a heavy cold. The dis-
ease did not respond to treatment, and
he gradually grew worse. His lungs
became affected, and with other com-
plications superinduced by the heavy
cold, it was seen that Mr. Benner's ill-
ness was a hopeless one, and his death
was not unexpected. For several days
he lingered until death relieved him
of suffering.
Mr. Benner was boin at Potters
Mills, and in early life was connected
with the Potters, who figured so prom-
inently in that section years ago.
Later in life he engaged in farming on
the place where he died. He was a
a member of the Presbyterian church.

Facts About February.
February, the second month of the
year, is also the shortest, numbering
| 28 days in ordinary years, but in leap
year it has an iotercalary day. Among
the Romans it had originally 29 days,
| but when the senate decrced that the
| eighth month should bear the name of
Augustus, a day was taken from Feb-
| ruary and given to August, which had
| then only 30, in order that it might
| not be inferior to July. The name is
| derived from the circumstances that
occurred the Ro-
the Luperealia,
