The report at the Railroad Com
mission to the (iovernor haa been
completed by the Commission and
the znanuseript haa been in tha
hands of the printers for sometime.
It would have appeared before but
for the delay In the printing. It la

naral aervlcaa over th lody of the
lata Dr. A. W. Miller hava ba'i com
pleted. Tha foneral will be held

IUv. Kdward Mack, who supplied
the pulpit of the First church during

lerlea are shrouded In black and the
raillog around the galllerle Is drap
ed In sombre oolota, gracefully loop
ed. The pulpit Is almost hidden by
a maaa of palms, ferns and other
stately plants, and I u the ceutre of
the arch behind the pulpit Is an ex
quisite design of a cross, surmounted
by a crown. Several ministers from
the surrounding towns have an
nounced their intentlou of telng
here to pay the last tribute of respect
to toe memory of the beloved pator.
