ing their home in Belton some
two or three weeks ago. Mr.
Chandler was taken sick there as
was reported last week. The
cause of his death, as stated, was

one of the old men of Belton and
Bell county. His remains were

BIG FIRE
AT TEMPLE
As the forms of the Democrat
were put on the press last night

than a hundred thousand dollars.

Death of Isaac Shriver.
At his home near Nolanville on
last Friday morning at 10 o'clock
occurred the death of Isaac Shri-
ver. Mr. Shriver was one of the
old men of Bell county, having
reached his eighty-fourth year.
Death was causedj it is said, by
a natural wearing out, hastened
on, perhaps, by the malady la
grippe which is now pervading
the country, and having such
effect on many of our old people.
Mr. Shriver's wife preceeded
him in his death many years ago,
and at his death three children
survive, one son and two daugh-
ters. Interment was at Pleasant
Hill cemetery two miles above
Nolanville.'
On Tuesday afternoon the by-
standers on the street were
somewhat excited by a horse
coming down Main street in a
peart gallop with a little son of
Campbell Durham as the rider.
There was no danger particularly
in the gait the horse was going
but the little fellow was fright-
ened. They went as far as the
Messer corner on the square
and finally the boy fell off and
stunned by the fall but not much
hurt otherwise. Mr. Cole caught
the horse at this point and re-
stored him to the rider.
J. C.' Preston recently re-
turned from Florence, William-
son county, where he spent a
week visiting relatives. He is
rather hard to manage since his
return, from the fact, as he
stated, he had from three to six
eggs to eat every meal, with
sausage and fresh ribs on the
side.
