The death of Rev. W. D. Blair oc- eurred at his home in this city at 9:15 a. m. last Wednesday, after an illness of only five days, with that dread disease pneumonia. Rev. Blair came to our little city seven years ago the first of Septem- ber last, to aecept the pastorate of the Cumberland Presbyterian church which position he has occupied since with credit to himself and honor to the church. During this time, by his clean life and kindly affectionate nature he had not only endeared himself to his own people, but to every citizen of this town, and his death was cause for sorrow on every hand. His funeral took place on Friday, when he was laid to rest in our beau- tiful cemetery, and was under the auspices of the Butler Masonic lodge ef which he was an honored member. Rev. S. F. King, of Warrensburg, his warm personal friend was sent forto preach the funeral sermon. Rev. J. B. Hill, a former pastor of the ist Presbyterian church of But- ler, Rev. C. P. Bailey, of Kansas City, J. B. Rose, of Lees Summit, Y. Whittsitt, of Warrensburg, F. J. May, of Richards, were also present by request and together with our res- ident ministers assisted in tl. . sad serviee. The pall bearers were all members of his class and his church officials together with six of his Ma- sonic brethren. Rey. Blair was born and raised in Kentucky, where he preached for two years after graduating at Leba- non college, Tenn. During his first ministry he married Miss Fannie Crowder, who with four children, two boys and two girls are left te mourn their loss. His service was rendered to the church at West Port from which place he came here in 1891. His brother George, who has charge of a church at Portland, Ore., came afew days before his death, with his family ona visit. Another brother, a physician, of Lebanon, Ohio, and his father’s widow were next also present. Mr. Blair was only thirty-nine years old, had been preaching about twelve years and was cut downinthe very midst of his usefulness, but his inflaence in this community for good will con- tinue long after all that is mortal of him shall have crumbled to dust. On Sunday in the opera house a memorial service was held by the ministers of the town assisted by Revs. S. F. King and J. B. Hill. A very large crowd was present on this occasion to express their sorrow over the death of this truly good man. Pleasant Gap Items The box supper at Job Utley’s Tuesday night Wasa grand success.

Thin Blood Where the blood loses its intense red—grows thin and watery, as in anemia, there is a constant feeling of exhaus- tion, a lack of energy—vitality and the spirits depressed. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites of Lime and Soda is peculiarly adapted to correct this condition. The cod-liver oil, emulsified to an exquisite fineness, enters the blood direct and feeds its every corpuscle, restoring the natural color and giving vitality to the whole system. The hypophosphites reach the brain and nerve centres and add their strength- ening and beneficial effect.
