NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
The Position Texas Must Occupy Much
Expected From the Fort.

FORT WORTH, TEX, Sept. 81,
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
Your editorial in this mornings is
sue on "Loeal Exhibits at New Or
leans" is at once timely and most
excellent advice. Every city in this
state is most deeply concerned in adj
vertising itself before the assembled
world at the great exposition this win
ter. Maps illustrating the size of our
cities and counties, catalogues and cir
culars descriptive of the same, whetht II
in the matter of mercantile in
terests, manufacturing establishments
and products thereof, handsome
buildings photographed, mineral re-
sources, or water courses set out, all
these things and Others are what we
want. Never was there such a grand
opportunity afforded Texas and her
growing cities to make their merits
and attractions known. To further
still more this object very CHEAP eX-
cursiOns should be organized to get
our people to New Orleans and there
make valuable acquaintance and
business relationships, as also to bring
visitors amongst us to see for them
there should be cooperation active
and constant.
Fort Worth and Dallas, Austin and
San Antonio, Houston and Galveston,
Waco and the rest Of our growing
cities should each have just what you
urge, splendid representative exhibit
that will first attract the attention of
the visitor in the buildings at the fair,
and afterwards his capital and his
skill and his labor into our industries
here. But only thirty days time
is left. Quick work is indispensable,
however, as all exhibits must be in
place by the 18th of November. I
pray you press all your influence in
the direction you have started toward.
No state in the Union can equal the
Lone Star state; no Southern state
will equal the exhibit from our cities
II we be but true to ourselves. Surely
Fort Worth is intensely interested.

Mrs. Ma rgaret ID. MOseley.-The fol-
lowing tribute to the memory OF this esti-
mable lady is from the pen of DR.. Bardsell,
Of Meridian, Miss, and appeared originally
in the Christian Observer.
"The news of the death of this excellent
Christian woman, which occurred at her
home in Meridian, Miss, on the night of
June IA, 1884, will carry sorrow to many
hearts. All who knew her, admired and
loved her for her many virtues.
"She was born in Montgomery county,
Md, August IL, 1887. Her parents, George
and Sarah N. Peter, were of Scotch lineage,
and devoted much care to the training and
education of their children. Margaret Dick,
the subject of this memoir, at the age of
twenty three, was admitted to the commu-
Mon of the Presbyterian church near the
place of her nativity A few months after
this, on the 18th of February, 1861, she was
married to the Rev. John w. Moseley, and
with him removed to Louisiana, where they
resided during the war; subsequently they
removed to Mississippi, and for the past ten
years have resided within the bounds of
Tombeckbec Presbytery, and for four years
past in Meridian. In the various charges
held by her husband, Mrs. Moseley endeared
herself to all classes in the community, and
left behind her memory that is precious"
The privations and trials of life to which
she was at times subject, were borne by her
with a Christian fortitude and cheerfulness
that challenged universal admiration Hers
was an accomplishing submission to all the
allotments of divine providence. During
the past year she was great sufferer from
chronic malady which terminated her use
iul life. But through il all, she bore up
with heroic fortitude, caring for the comfort
of her family with sclf-sacrificing devotion
which only the highest type of womanly
excellence can emulate.
"Her death, as before stated, took place on
the night of June IA. On Sabbath after
noon Dune 15,) her remains were borne by
loving friends to the Presbyterian church,
where appropriate services were conducted
by the pastor, and thence to the city ceme-
terry, where the large concourse of sympa-
thizing attendants, Notwithstanding the rain
and mud, testified their appreciation Of her
worth.
death to her was no surprise, and had
no terror. Retaining her rational powers
to the very last, and with the full conscious
ness of the near approach of "the last
enemy" she was confident and peaceful.
She could, and did say with Paul, 4 know
whom have believed, and am persuaded
that he is able to keep that which l have
committed to him against that day.
"She leaves a stricken husband and four
children, for whom many prayers will be
offered that God will sustain and comfort
them. j. b."

are panied to have to record the death OF
Capt William o. Sellman, which occurred
on Wednesday morning last at his late resi-.
dence, near GAINESVILLE, in the 72nd year of
his age. Capt. Selman was truly one of the
prominent landmarks of the county and his
death will be mourned by all who knew
him. From youth he was bold, active and
aggressive Democratic politician, always TAX
ing leading part in county politics. He
represented the countyin the State Senate
from 1864 to 1879 to the satisfaction of his
friends and in full accord with his party.
He was in the true sense Of the word
good agriculturist and watched with pride
the material and agricultural development
of his county-always partial to "Old Med
ley's," which was but natural and CON-
mendable, He was valuable and good
citizen, as was portrayed through his long
and useful life, and he has left for those to
come after him a good example. To his
family and friends we extend our sympathy.
