      He Died Monday Night at 12 O’clock in Biloxi, Miss., of Yellow fever.
      A telephone message received here Thursday from Perry announced the death of Thomas Gill. The message stated that Mr. Gill died of yellow fever at his home in Biloxi, Miss., at 12 o’clock Monday night. His wife is in Perry, Ralls county, where she has been visiting for two or three weeks. Mr. Gill tried to come north at the first rumors of yellow fever, but he was detained by the quarantine law.

He was remarkably successful in all business lines and at the time of his death he possessed a large fortune. He left Perry about 4 years ago for Mississippi, where he engaged in sash manufacturing at Biloxi and was doing well.
      The children living are: Mrs. E.H. Ralls, of Biloxi, Miss.; Mrs. Alvy Clark, of Perry; S.C. and M.T. Gill of Perry.
      Mr. Gill was an excellent man and never overlooked an opportunity to do good.
      His family, outside of his daughter, Mrs. Ralls, who is in Biloxi, will not be able to attend the funeral on account of the quarantine.
      Mr. Gill was a Mason and a member of the A.O.U.W. Lodge.
