Mr. Avery Dies Suddenly
Consternation ran high in
this city yesterday afternoon
about a o'clock, when it was
reported that Mr. G.T. Avery
had been killed on accident at
the Avery-Latiimore gin.
This report was refuted, how-
ever, however, a few moments
later when further examina.
tion proved that Mr. Avery'.?
death was attributable to heart
failure and not to an injury.
Mr. Avery was running the
engine when one of the Latti-
more boys., also working at
the gin, saw him fall, sum-
moning Mr. Lattimore, they
both ran to him immediately,
but he was so nearly gone
that he only gasped twice
after they reached him. Mr.
Avery was apparently in good
health, but it is said that he
was once subject to attacks of
heart trouble. He had not
complained of being indispos-
edt although yesterday at
noon lie seemed quite fatigued
from the morning's work at
the giu, so says Mrs. Avery.
He wps sixty-one years of age
and belongs to a class of men
who stand always for the right
on all moral and religeous
questions. His death is deeply
deplored, not only in Jackson-
ville, but in Alto, wtiere lie
was formerly a citizen, and
other places where he is
known. Beside his widow,
two daughters survive, Mrs.
Emory Watters and Miss
Bernice Avery of A1 o.
The funeral service was con-
ducted by Rev. J. M Newburn
and Rev. B. R. Bolton at the
residence at 9:30 this morn*
ing, interment in the city
cemetery following. The in-
numerable demonstrations- of
kindness, the beautiful floral
offeings, are a tribute to th;
life of Mr. Avery, and also
covey heart-life sympathy to
those who are drinking from
the bitter cup of sorrw.
The out-of-town relatives
and friends attending the fu-
neral included Mr. and Mrs.
Emory Watters, and Miss
Bernice Avery, Mr. and Mrs.
Mack Watters, Mrs. Jeff La/
"That Million Dollar Look"
Go and See This Wonderful Photo-Play—to Appear
At The Air-Dome September 15th.
At our own private and personal expense, we have brought to this town one
of the greatest picture-plays that has ever been produced.
For years we have been waiting and hoping for some book, or play, or ser-
mon that would make clear the powerful lesson that this picture shows. It is
a lesson that means greater success- BUSINESS succcss, SOCIAL success, PER-
SONAL success, to every man who will take it home to himself—and apply it in
his daily living.
We brought this picture to The Air-Don:e because we believe that every re;l-corptist!ed
American man who sees it can reap a profit from it—and become a bigger mail through it —
and we want to do our share to get it before as many folks right here at home as we can.
It's helped *is—we want you to enjoy it's help, too.
We are not going to spoil your enjoyment, your "thrill" and your excitement
by telling you here what the story is. Wait and enjoy the surprise for yourself.
We arc Simply going to go 011 record with the statement that it will grip vou
from the first exposure to the last scene and make you say a hundred times: "Why
wasn't this picture ever thought of before?"
Men have lost untold opportunities; have sacraficed dearest ambitions; have
handicapped the hopes of \ears, ptuely and soley through a lack of the knowledge
that this picture vividly and dramatically imparts.
Men have euchred themselves out of big business gains, have closed the
doors to countless success chances, have defeated themselves, not only in business,
but in politics, in society—YES, EVEN IN LOVE—because they never studied and
mastered the lesson that this picture makes clear to them.
If you want to play the game of success skilfully and victoriously; if you
want to be a dominating factor in life's power circles—
Then Don't fail to see "That Million Dollar Look" at The Air-Dome Sept 15th..
