Staples' Store,
STApLEs, STORE. Abr.

STAPLES STORE, Apr. 10, 1886.
Ed. FREE PREss:-We passed up the west
side of San Marcos river short time
since to San Marcos town. Was glad to
find the road changed, and entering direct
into town. which will facilitate travel from
this quarter. 1t is now about nine miles
from this place to San Marcos on the west
ssde of the river, and twelve to cross al
Martindale. The roads are good by way of
Martindale, which necessitates the freighters
of cotton and other produce to travel that
way. Now, if the oyerseers of the Staples
Store road could be induced to cut down
tile bank of the branch running out of
Caldwells pasture, drawing the dirt into
and across the bed of the branch, forming
q tank in the upper part of the road-bed, it
would give us water for our teams, as well
as improve the road so that freighted wagons
could pass on the tank dam, and ascend the
bank without difficulty, saving some six
miles travel in making the round trip. We
hope it will be done. A very large portion
of the trade Of this country goes to San
Marcos, and is gradually extending down
almost to Prairie Lea and on lower York's
Creek. These people have usually sold
cotton and gone with their trade to Luling;
but, owing to the very heavy. sandy roads
to that place, will trade at San Marcos the
next season, if roads are kept in good con-
dition.
Quite q sad accident happened on the II,
in the family of Mr. Tardy, who lives on
Mrs. V. Tuttle's place on Cottonwood
Creek. An infant child, about seven mont bis
old, fell off the dining table, its head strik-
ing chair in the fall, injuring the skull and
causing death in few hours
A young man, son of Buck Stanheld of
this vicinity, was killed at Miss Thralrs
school. near Staples Store, on the 18th, by
Polk Edwards. Both young men were at
tending Miss Thrall's school. While play
ing at game of ball they had a quarrel
which was renewed short time afterwards
When young Edwards used some very ag-
gravating language to Stanheld, the latter
ass allied him with a rock, and was stabbed
once about the heart. and in the back of the
neck. StaEfeld died in few minutes. Ed
wards fled, but was captured next day near
HAYWOOD, and is now in Seguin Jail, S.

A sharp correspondence between
Powderley and Gould has attracted
much attention as published in the

difference between tho spirit and

country, the contest is strictly son,
and will be until some definite set

Death of an Aged Citizen.--A Long.liv'
ed Esmily.
rThe following obituary is copied,
with some corrections, from the Rich
mond Qnd,,) Palladium.
Died, on the morning of the 18th
inst, at his late residence in Cadiz,
Henry County, Indiana, Shnbal
Julian, aged ninety-four years, less
one month and two days, his birth
day having been April IA, 1892.
At his death he was the Oldest man
in Henry County, and one OF the
Oldest inhabitants Of the State,
having settled in the territory
in 1918, and thenceforward hav-
ing been citizen first of Wayne, and
then of Henry County.
Shubal Julian belonged to n large
and well-known family, the founder
of which in America was Rene st.
Julien, (the name was subsequently
anglicized as at presently, who came
from France nearly two hundred
years ago, first settled in North Car
DINA, and after q few years on the
shores OF Chesapeake Bay. Sub
seauently the family settled near
Winchester, Va. Isaac Julian. a son
of Rene, grandfather of the subject
of this notice, is mentioned in Irvings
Life of Washington, as residing in
that vicinity in 1755. He contin'
ued to reside there until after Brad
docks defeat, when, to avoid trouble
with the Indians, he, with nearly all
his relations, removed to Guilford
County, North Carolina. His son,
Isaac Julian, the father of the subject
of this notice, had twelve sons and
daughters, all of whom, together
with himself, at various times be-
tween 1903 and 1916 made their
homes in Wayne County Indiana, ex-
cept his two Oldest sons who remain
ed in their native state. Isaac Julian,
a brother of Shubal, the father OF
Judge JacobB B. Julian and Hon. Geo.
w. Julian, of Indianapolis, and Of
Isaac H. Julian, OF San Marcos, Tex
as, became ct an early day one OF the
prominent mon OF Wayne county, dy-
ing in the prime of life. Rene Julian,
another brother, the first clerk of the
Henry Circuit Court, also died young,
as did two of the younger daughters.
Of the eight remaining children, in
Guiding the subject of this notice,
who lived to be ninety-four years OF
age, as stated, another one, daugh-
ter, died a few years ago in Rich
mond at the age Of ninety-three, and
two daughters yet remain, one aged
ninety-two and the other over ninety
years, the four averaging ninety-two
years. The remaining four died at
ages ranging between eighty-five and
eighty-nine, the average age OF the
four being over eighty.seven years,
and the average age Of the eight over
ninety years. The family in point
of longevity is rarely equaled. Shu
gal Julian lived almost through the
entire lifetime OF the Constitution. he
was nearly as old as it was, and saw
the population of the United
States increase from about four
millions to near fifty-nine mil
lions. Shubal Julian was an upright
man, Christian gentlem1n F""a =
W. ,s-Iaiker, a pleasant companion,
and welcome visitor everywhere.
He was beloved by all who knew him,
and no man in the community in
which he lived, it is sale to say, would
be more missed and regretted than
he will be.

Selections.
It's not the people who make the
most noise in the world who WELD
the widest or best influence, but moro
frequently those who, quietly and
unheralded, devote themselves to
scattering the grains OF truth by
the wayside. Who cannot recall that
q single paragraph or even q line IN
some obscure newspaper has given
tono and color to his whole after life'
It is in this point Of view that the
humblest editor may become a power
for incalculable good in the world.
This is also true to perhaps even o
greater extent Of the compilers Of our
school-books. AS with editors, their
ranks comprise men Of fine taste and
attainments, fitted to shine in the
more conspicuous walks OF lifo. On
our first page We give two selections
from old school. books which will IL
lustrate what we have said. Tho first,
nTbe Indian Chief" is from ono OF
tho compilations Of Lindley Murray,
which all English people of tho pres
emit day, "of certain age" will re-
member as the standard textbooks
OF the schools Of their time. They
consisted of "Tho Introduction to the
English Reader" 'The English Read
en-" and "The Sequel to the English
Reader" The selection we give is
from the introduction" The au-
thor's namo is not given, but we
think it cannot readily be surpassed in
beauty and pathos. Lindley Murray
was q member of tho Society OF
Friends, q native Of Pennsylvania, but
spent q large portion of his life in
England. He was also the author OF
an English Grammar, eqally we'll
known, and his Power of Religion
on the Mind" passed through seven
teen editions. The influence which
no welded by his school books was
in calculable, and was always pure and
elevating.
Our other selection, "The Widow
and her Son" is from "The National
Reader" one of a series OF school
books compiled by the Rev. John
Pierpont, which also had a great cir
culation. We need not say to the in
telligent reader that the compiler was
one of the foremost men Of his time,
an earnest and powerful preacher, q
poet of high rank, some of whose
hymns and patriotic odcs have taken
their place among the classics OF the
language, and u roformer OF ardent
and answering zeal. He was con-
spicuous among the early apostles OF
Temperance. 1t is difficult ut this
day to conceive of tho unpopularity
Of that cause then, and amazing to
read that in his native New England
John Pierpont was actually deposed
from his ministry through the

THE TEACHING OF DEATH.

l saw my darling in calm slumber lying,
His still, pale face 30 beautiful in DEATH
So like sweet sleep, that. hushcd from tears
and signing,
looked and listened for his gentle breath,
His little hands, so white and thin, were
folded,
Clasping the purest flowers that love
could bring;
Mover was marble in such beauty nodded
God and death only makes so fair q thing.
felt, in awe, that God and Death were
present;
felt the presence of tho world unseen
This life, 30 poor, so vain, so evanescent,
And that 80 grand, 80 holy and serene
| thought how God rejoiceth in his crea-
lures;
How He must love the beauty He hath
made;
Why should He suffer Death to touch those
features,
Why let such graces in the dust DO laid ?
Because he seemed 80 high. so wise, SO
holy,
And we SO ignorant of our human needs,
Mistaking good for Ill - thanked Him
solely,
That SO above US were His ways and
deeds.
And in that room Of death my soul drew
nearer
To the great presence of the things I'M
seen;
The deep, dark mystery of life grew clearer,
Until on life and death looked serene.
Content, looked down on that lovely
sleeper,
And kissed the face which silently had
taught
That Death and Sorrow bring us knowledge
And deeper Joy than his dear life had
brought.
So gave up my child, with sweet caresses,
And laid him from my breast beneath the
sod;
My arms are ompty-but my soulke blesses,
And when long for him trust in God.
