Last week Cashier George Whitman of Morris, wrote to relatives here stating that he had received a letter from the Philippine Islands written by Prof. Green who enlisted in the army from Morris, which said that the report of the death of George Wells that was current here some weeks ago was true. Green said he stood within ten feet of Wells when he was shot, and that he ran to his assistance. A bullet struck Wells in the left lung severing an artery, and that he died one hour afterwards. Wells was conscious when he died, saying to Green, "go and help the others, nothing could be done for him as his time had come." Wells was a member of Company D, 9th Infantry and had distinguished himself for bravery. After his death had been published, it was afterwards denied, it being claimed to have been officially stated that Wells was hopefully recovering. [Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 4, 1899]

The child was in usual health yesterday and was out-of-doors with its mother in the afternoon enjoying the sunny air and seemed sprightly as ever. At tea time little Andrew began to droop and soon went into convulsions. Dr. Taylor was sent for and after the second convulsion the child revived and was supposed to be getting better but Andrew's condition grew worse and continued to grow more so through the night until he expired. Andrew was a handsome child, bright and unusually intelligent, and always ready to receive everyone with childish prattle. His sorrowing parents have the sympathy of all in their sorrow. The funeral will probably be Friday.

But one dead lamb is there!
There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair."
