E.T. Jennings, the shoemaker, suffered a  stroke of apoplexy Tuesday monring and has been in a semi-conscious  condition ever since. His death is expected to occur at any time. He  revived just long enough Wednesday to send for a lawyer to draw up his  will. He is 76 years of age.

Edward T. Jennings died at his home on Green St. about 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. About two months ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis and a second one about two weeks ago, from which he never rallied. He was born in 1823. In 1841 he married Mary Firman at St. Clair, Ohio who died some years ago. In 1893 he moved to Waveland with his daughter. Mr. Jennings served with credit during the war of the Rebellion, and was a good citizen, honest in all his dealings.

The body was taken to Darlington on Wednesday, where funeral services were held. A short service was held at the family residence Wed. morning, conducted by Rev. JJ Canine.

Edward Jennings of near Bowers Station stood in the Mayor's court this  week stolidly looking over his gold-timmed spectacles at the exponent of  the law who sat at the desk. He is an old man, with white hair and long  gray whiskers and resembling a substantial farmer. "Mr. Jennings, you  are charged with intoxication in a public place.'
"Well, I reckon I did have a little too much," was the response, "but  this is the first time I was ever took up. I feel might bad over it,  too, as I never calculate to do any harm. I reckon I did have too much  but I'll never do it again," and the poor old man mopped his forehead  with nervous haste. He was fined $11.30 and although he had over $20 on  his person he had his fine stayed as he had to expend his ready money on  other things. He came in to get his pension money and meeting with some  of the boys they drank from the same canteen a few times too often.
