Tavares Herald, August 81
Death of Mr. w. y. BRYAN.

The many friends of this old and we'll known
citizen of Orange county will be grieved To learn
OF his death during the past week. For long
while he had been great sufferer but his natu-
rally strong constitution had so vigorously com
ba,ted disease that it was hoped he would be TT
stored 10 health. But his age was against him
and after many weeks of patiently endured agony
he at last succumbed. Mr. Bryan was a native
Of Naynesboro, Georgia, springing from that
sturdy stock that has made the Empire State OF
the south great and prosperous. He came 10
Florida while yet young man. settled in Ham
lllon county and subsequently removing to South
Florida. where he ever after resided Excepting
for brief while in Hisborough county, the last
years OF his life was spent in Orange county, in
this Lake Region. AS pioneer he was a man
OF notable sagacity well as industry. He
WAS the first settler of what is now Astatula, and
was also the first resident of the peninsula
on which Tavares stands. Here he lived for
several years, and the fine bearing orange grove
at this place WAS planted by him.
MIR Bryan's entire life was notable for its prob
lty and kindness. He was most generous and
liberal man, II strong friend and a generous Op-
pOncnt In politics he was Democrat and in
religion Primitive Baptist. He married early
in life and survived his wife several years Mr..
Bryan reared a family of nine children only two
OF which are now living. One of his sons is the
Hon. John N. Bryan of this county. We tender
To his relatives our regrets for their loss. In his
departure there passes away another OF the he
roic pioneer element which has paved the way
to our present prosperity. Peace to his ashes
May The memory of his worth ever remain in
our minds, and the grass forever grow green

The Presidential Excursion.

President Arthur intends to have some
fun, if he is a President. He don't be-
lieve in staying in Washington to be tor
mented by Office seekers, badgered by
office holders and afflicted by lamenta-
tons of political brethren over the
troubles of the grand old party. He
wants fresh air and plenty of it-air that
his late particular friend Billy Chandler
don't breathe. Thinking Billy the right
bower of the boss deck he took him to
Florida with him and injured his chances
of popularity by the bad company he
kept, and Sance then he has found that
Billy Is not boss trump at all, as he has
been discarded by his own little State
SO the master wouldn't take Billy with
him on his present frolic. Billy sulks at
home and the master careers joyously
over the prairies of the wild west, aban-
doning palace ears and doing the journey
primitlvely in wagon or on horseback.
On the 9Th he had penetrated the wilder
ness to Fort Washakie, in Wyoming
Territory, whence the following bulletin
was sent back to the States:
The President and his party left Green River
Station on the Union Pacific Railroad at z A. NJ.
of The 9th inst, in three spring wagons, each
drawn by four Missouri mules. The first days
drive was made by relays for distance of lOl
miles to Camp Lord, on the banks of the Sweet
water. The President enjoyed the ride greatly
He sal on the outside of the wagon with the
driver during the last forty five miles. The road
ran over country covered by sage brush, and
hundreds of antelopes, sage hares, and mule rab-
bits gave pleasant excitement to the journey. At
A. n. of the eth the party left Camp Lord for
Washington, distant forty miles. At the
Miners Delight Mining Camp the party stopped
to watch the operation OF gold Washing and the
miners brought to the President a painful of "pay
dirt, and washed out the gold in his presence.
After lunch at the end Of Red Canon the party
went on TO Fort Washable, reaching their camp
at $50 p. NJ. The Shoshone and Bannock In
dams, on whose reservation the camp is located,
turned out to welcome the Great Father, and
dashed across the plain and around the Pres-
dents party, gayly attired, the squaws especially
displaying their skill in horsewomanshp by riding
in masculine attire, and not on side saddles, as is
the custom of whites. The party will rest here
to-day, and then take horses for the Yellowstone
Park. The President enjoys the trip more than
any others of the party
