The Statesman has this to say about
ono of the grandesC old men IN Texas:
The Statesman is IN receipt of note
calling attention to the fact that Col.
John :. Ford has been in sick bed in
this city for over two weeks. He is ut
terly PROSTATE and his friends fear that
the end of this grand old defender OF
Texas approaches. His relatives and
friends are devoted in their attention 10
MIN, but II is said they are worn out.
There are plenty of others who would
gladly render any service, and as soon
as they learn the condition of the sick
man they will hasten to his side TO rem
der any service in their power. Col.
Ford has served Texas for a lifetime;
has been its servant in war and in peace
aud he has ever been the devoted friend
oil Austin and its people. His whole life
has been given to Texas, and should
this sickness be that which prccedes the
departure of the old hero from scenes he
has loved so well, from people TO whom
he IS devoted, he should pass away with
Inc happy thought that he was loved to
the end.
