 It is with regret that we this week chronicle the death of our fellow townsman, Mir. Adam Frederick, which occurred Saturday afternoon, about 3:3O o'clock. MT. Frederick has long been citizen of Prescott, and was liked by all for his honesty and uprightness, and his death, al- though not a surprise, cast a gloom over the entire community. His re- mains were inferred in De Ann ceme- tery Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. We sympathize with the bereaved relatives in their hour of allliction, 1 and trust that they will bow meellly | to the will of Him who doeth every thing for the best.
 Mir. D. T. Holt, of Vernon, Texas, is in Prescott. Mir Holt's business in our town and county is to intro- duce his patent fence in this section, which is pronounced by both the press and the public as one of the most durable. economical fences ever invented. and as a barrier to the raids and onslaughts of fence breaking cattle, is uneNcelled. Even the famous razor-back hog, whose shrewdness and cunning is familiar to every one, meets the only obstacle that ever stood between it and the waving fields of golden grain, and which it cannot climb over, root under nor prize apart. Mir. Holt is stopping at the Winter Hotel, where he will be glad to see our citizens and give any information desired regarding his fence. He wants to employ few salesmen immediately.
