A Narrow Escape.

Friday at noon two of S. $. Records
students, John Sparkman and An
drew Gaines, rode their horses to Wa
ter, and on returning to the school
house the horses, from some cause,
started to run, and the one Sparkman
was riding was going at full speed.
When attempting to pass through a
large gate, near the residence of Cap
tain Walter Caruth's, the horse threw
Sparkman off just before getting to the
gate, and passing in close proximity to
the gate post his head struck one of the
planks of which the fence was made,
knocking it loose from the gate post.
He received but slight hurt, however,
and holding to the rein of the horse
after falling he pulled it against the
gate post, which not only Knocked out
the brains of the horse, but broke its
neck short off.

OBITUARY.

NANCE.-Died at his residence In Dallas
county, on Friday December IL, 1874, OTwAY
BIRD NANCE, aged sixty-nine years, 1our
months and twenty days.
Father o. B. Nance was born in James City
county, Virginia. in the year 1905. His father
removed to the state of Kentucky when the
subject of this notice was child, where he
was reared, and married miss Sarah Dun
nins. In 1889 he moved to Illinois, and in
1851 to Texas, settling in Dallas county,
twelve miles south Of the city of Dallas,
where he lived for twenty-three years, loved
and respected by all who knew him. He died
at his late residence, in great peace, surround
ed by his dear companion and all of his chill
dren who are in Texas, together with be-
loved citizen, who was on visit to see him
from Kentucky.
Father Nance was in the SEVENTEEN year
of his age, was q man actuated from the
purest motives in all he did and said hence,
he was model man, wise in council and ge-
NAL in disposition. While he was very pos
tive in his manners, he was as easy of APP
proach as any man. His house was friendly
lodging for the weary traveller, and emphat-
ically q home for the minister of the gospel.
He was abundant in his charities-the widow
and orphan found in him friend ready to
minister to their wants ut all times. He was
liberal in supporting the cause of God, and
for five years had been member Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, in which
he lived a consistent member, the writer of
this sketch having been his pastor for two
years Intimately associated with him, he
always found him the same sweet-spirited,
christian hearted gentleman.
He had been afflicted for some time with
something like bronchial affection, which
caused him great deal OF suffering, in con-
sequence of which he lived i'll cOnntant ex-
pect alto of his release; hence, when notl-
fiea few hours before his death, by his
physician and friends, that he must soon go,
he was neither surprised nor alarmed, but
said it was but a short journey, and he was
ready to go, and his sun went down without
u cloud. Surely good man has fallen, and
the world is poorer when such men die; but
our loss is his gain. How blessed the right
cous when he dies! May our end be Ii Ike his.
May God bless his aged companion in this
sad bereavement; bless his children and all
his relrtiyes and large circle of friends, SO
many of whom attended his funeral. May
all, like him, die in great peace, and ind q
home and welcome with him in heaven at
last. J.S. ID.

The Concert and rab!eau East Night


The inclemeney fthe weather alone
prevented large audience from being
present last night at Fields theater.
The entertainment was particularly
pie asing and effective, and Included
an excellent programme Of musical
"mordeauX," instrumental and vocal,
which were rendered most acceptably
by the ladies and gentlemen amateurs,
who were so good as to participate in
the worthy effort to assist II most de-
serving institution. The "piano duett,"
by Miss Hawkins and Miss Rives,
commenced the evening, and was
charmingly played by these two ia
vorites in society. The "Infeliccn
from "Eruani," song by Major Oben-
chain, was another proof of that gem
tleman's musical taste, and of the ex-
cellency of his voice, which was warm
ly applauded.
Miss Rives sang the grand finale
from "Lucia de Lammermoor," with
feeling, skill and taste. This
song was written for tenor voice, and
is sung in the last act of the famous
opera of "Lucia," by "Edgardo," the
unhappy lover of "Lucy Ashton"
1t is very famous and beautiful song,
but was hardly calculated to show the
beauty and flcxiblity of Miss Rives'
sweet and plaintive voice SO well, as
<La Farfaletta," which she Sang for
an encore. She was particularly for
tunate in having so accomplished an
accompanies as Mr.. Francis to preside
at the piano.
"Fleufs DIES Apes" a pretty Tyro.
.lienne song, Introduced to IA Dallas
audience for the first time, ly the care
fully trained voice of Mrs. Alice Fish
er, of Marshall, formerly of New Or
leans, where her musical advantages
were very great of course. Mrs, Fisher
sang this song, as well rs the "Grand
Air des Dragons de Villars," with the
finished taste and skill of an~Srtist,
that called forth the heartiest applause.
She unites to great personal charms,
the attractions of voice of much
power cultivation and flexibility, and
carried Off goodly share of the honors
of the evening.
One of the gems of the evening was
Mr.. Francis performance of Colts
chalk's composition, "TEe Last Hope"
Having known GOttschalk personally
and heard him play this piece very,
very often, the writer cannot reclaim
from congratulating Mr.. Francis upon
the uccess with which he Interpreted
the sentiment and style of the gi.ted
author. He played the piece with that
delicacy and passion combined, for
which the music of Gottsclals is 50
remarkable, and which, more than
anything else, proved that Mr.. Francis
= has musical talent of high order.
The little waltz played as an encore, as
well rs tie one for four hands, was
very bright, dansante and pretty.
Miss Mary Blanche, of Marshall,
one of the most charming and attract
i've of the many irresistible bellies of
our sister city, very gracefully added
to the attractions OF the programme
and the enjoyment of the evening, by
a very pleasing and sparkling musical
sketch entitled "Rain Drops,n which
she played on the piano with modest
grace and winning effect. She has the
advantage of an unusually fine touch,
added to keen andappreciative fond.
