A very sad death occurred at the Martin Hotel.  This city.  Wednesday afternoon when the nine months old infant of Mr and Mrs Ed Yates passed away.  Mrs Yates resides at Britt Bros.  Still, a few miles southeast of town and Mrs Yates was enroute home from North Carolina and while enroute the child was taken ill, but its condition did not become serious until they reached this place on the Tuesday evening train.  Reaching the hotel, a Physician was immediately summoned, but despite medical aid and skill the littler sufferer breathed its last breath late Wednesday afternoon.  The remains were transferred to Chipley for interment.
