Mr. Strickland Passes Away
   Mr. A. H. Strickland who received injuries by falling from a water tank near Southport a few months ago, died from the effects of the wounds at his home in this city on Tuesday morning of last week.
Mr. Strickland was injured internally and was never able to walk a step after the accident occurred, the fall producing paralysis in the lower limbs of the body.  He was taken to the hospital at Dothan with the hope that a treatment could be given him that would effect a cure, but after remaining there about three weeks he was brought back to his home here , his condition being practically unchanged.  Everything was done for him that could be done, both by physicians and his devoted family, but to no avail.  Mr. Strickland was a man that made friends wherever he went.  His ready wit and sense of humor, together with other virtues, made him companionable and agreeable at all times.  In his death his family sustained an irreparable loss, but let us hope that their loss is heaven's gain, and let the bereaved ones be comforted with this hope.
