DEATHS EMBRACE.
Demise Of Mrs. w. L.. Tucker
and Mr. y ohm McGre.or.

A sense OF keen pain pervaded this
community yesterday morning, when it
became known that Mrs Lula E. Tucker,
wife OF Mr.. w. l.. Tucker, had passed
away. Her death occurred at the
family residence, South Third street,
at Il. m, and she passed to
the other shore calmly, resignedly
and without struggle. Though
not IN robust health, Mrs Tucker was
not Frustrated until some three weeks
ago, when 1t was discovered that that
lnsldous disease, consumption, had
seated itself and claimed her as its vic
TIM. Mrs. Tucker was twenty-five years
of age at the time of her death, WAS
born III eastern Texas and had lived in
Waco from early life. From school girl
days mp 10 the time she stood a blush
ing bride before the altar, not quite
three years ago, she had always been
admired for her amiable dis
position, high talent and
noble womanly traits. 1t vas not. how
ever, until she became mother that her
good qualities shone forth in all their
resplendence, and though "He knoweth
best" it is hard to lose the best loved
on earth Just at the time they are the
greatest ornament of the home and So
clety. Mrs. Tucker was devoted to her
husband and son with all the tenderness
OF wife and mother, and her greatest
source OF pleasure was in making them
happy. Though brief her life while here,
she earned reward she has
gone to meet on that peaceful
shore and left behind remembrances
that will not fade until the final reunion
brings all together again. The grief OF
the stricken husband, mother and sister,
as much as can be is assuaged
by the reflection that she has been
waited from a world of weakness and
trials to land of brightness and per
petual peace. The funeral takes place
at 10 o'clock this morning from the
Fifth street Methodist church. Inter
ment III OakwoOd cemetery.
We are called upon to record the loss
OF one of our old and highly respected
citizens IN the death OF Mr.. John
McGregor, which occurred at the resi-
dence Of his daughter, Mrs. NJ. Thotley,
at Mciregor springs, in this county,
yesterday morning. About ten days
ago Mr.. McGregor was taken with al
affection of the bowels which grew more
complicated and finally Terminated ia
tally. Deceased, who was an uncle of
our townsman DIR. CT. c. McGregor, WAS
native of Scotland and at the time Of
his Geath was seventy-three years of age.
At an early day he emigrated to North
Carolina, and thence to Texas. Mr.
hcGregor was a plain, unassuming man,
who commanded the respect OF all, and
his life was d quiet, honorable and use
fIIl one.

PAST PROSPERITY
what the Old Wear hns Done TO
Benefit Waco.

| On last Sunday morning We stepped
asida from the grave of 1881 to look into
! fine cradle and see the infant 1882, and
Yesterday there was joy and congratula-
tons all over the land on the birth of the
bantling. Yesterday we were some
what composed and could sit
and muse over the past
and recall the events of the
buried year. As memory went back over
the months we fancied we could hear
the year gone by pleading for recollec-
ton and see finger pointing to what
had been accomplished from month to
month from January l, 1881, to the Jan
nary just ushered in. AS we pass along
in hurried review we shall not revert to
the scenes of sorrow and gladness, the
deaths and partings, marriages, births
and meetings, for it would take whole
books to do so. But the old year is
entitled to recollection from
the commercial significance which it
gave our city and county. We see
within those twelve months two mag
nlticent lines of railway completed to
our doors and the line which was here
before vastly improved. An iron bridge
second to none in the south spans the
Brazos, and considering all the other
improvements, the old year says: 81 am
entitled to recollection for having added
IN the vicinity of $5O0,0OO in
railroad property alone to
your taxable values. In looking
IN other directions we see the splendid
cotton seed oil factory, Paul Quin col
lege, the Rotary pillow factory, an
elegant new hotel, Roper's Fulton
market, Kellum x Rotan's extensive
wholesale house, the Sturgis and Green
| block, Sedwick building, Wiebush Il
Hillen's blacksmith and wood shops, J. +.
| Hopkins 4 Bro, Hills Bros, and many
| other substantial brick blocks all begun
during the year and many of
them now completed. Besides these
! there are dozens of handsome
! brick and frame residences all
! begun in 1881 A few we think of now,
which are admired for their beauty,
are those of rSimeOn Little Aft Abeel,
Captain AxteIl, 5. Marx, and others
who have handsome houses on every
suburban street. The old year asks a
| thought in the future for having given
! the city about S25O,OOO worth more of
| this kind of property to tax. In firms
1 and failures the old year says he has
! been no more severe on rs than many
OF his predecessors, and while,
| during ms reign, many have
passed away even as he did 1t was from
natural causes The page allotted to
murder, bloodshrd and other grave
crimes Is as free from spots as any in
orr history And last of all, the past
year claims remembrance from the good
example and record 1t has kept AS
guide for the future and the many IA
cIlitles 1t has given lis to 20 on and
make the present year one even more
beneficial To ourselves. Everything con
sidered, the old year earned lasting
tombstone III memory, on which should
be engraved the good that has been ac-
compIshed IN those months.
