We had the pleasure of going over

Col. Burgwyn's place near town a few
days ago. Mr.. w. T. Bowen, the
manager out there, took pleasure in
showing us around, and We have not
seen a finer prospect, taking it all to-
gether, anywhere. He has cured some
fine tobacco and has a splendid crop
that is ripening to perfection. In all
he will have between % and 80 barns,
and if he meets with the same success
he has started out with rich reward
will be his. His corn and cotton is all
that could be desired, while such a crop
of peas we have not seen anywhere.
Mr.. Bowen is a good farmer and a
splendid manager and has the best crop
this year that we have ever seen on
the place.

Best was given permission to sell his

that being apparently afflicted with some
peculiar disease which manifested itself
only while he in motion, indicating that
he is continually about to fall in fit, and
the Mayor being of the opinion that his
presence in private residences would dis
turb the peace and quiet of, and actually
frighten delicate people, forbade his en-
try into private houses unless he would
procure the usual peddler's license. This
/ did of my own head, and because, when

been better, leave to visit private houses
with his wares q year ago, it was CON-
planned to me by a most excellent gentle
man that l should not have done so for
the reasons above given.

Something Now in the Trunk Line.


Every person needs a trunk be he tray
cling man or slayer at home. And in
this as everything else, "the best is al
ways the cheapest" The finest line of
trunks ever seen in Henderson has just
been received at S. & G. Watkins. They
have something new in the way of rolling
tray trunks, to which they call particular
attention. No lifting of the tray to get
into the bottom, and no turning it over
and upsettiDg everything in it. You
simply slide the tray back, and if you
want still more room all you have to do
is to raise and push back the front part,
folding it up so to speak. There are six
different boxes or separate compartments
in the top and tray, making the whole
thing one of the most convenient and
best arranged trunks to be found. They
are made OF good material, strong and
we'll built, and are lined inside with linen
instead of paper. 1t is a first-class trunk
in every respect and the price is very
reasonable. Call and see them.

Death Of Franklin b. Hester.

Mr.. Franklin B. Hester died in Ok
ford on Thursday the 21st, at the resi-
dence Of Col. X. o. Gregory. He was
the brother of the late M. H. Hest +,
and he and his brother were ever resi-
dents of the same household until the
death of the former few years ago.
Mr.. F. B. Hester never married and
he and his brother carried on a farm
conformity for many years, using every
thing in common and participating
equally in the privileges of the planta-
ton without disagreement or discord.
Both of them were gentlemen of gentle,
pleasant manners, and great kindness
Of mature. They lived in peace with
the world, were kind neighbors, both
of them being greatly esteemed by
their new acquaintance. The tie that
bound them together in life was so
strong and tender that in writing of
the one the character of both naturally
arises before the imagination.
Mr.. F. B. Hester has lived consider
ably beyond the period usually allowed
to mortals, though for the past several
years his health has been feeble, and
for some time before his demise it was
manifest to his friends the ravage of
time was gradually but surely doing its
work. He was strict member of the
Baptist church on whose service he at
tended until the infirmities of age rend-
cred it impracticable for him to do so.
His life was quiet and blameless. His
friendships were sincere and faithful.
His faith in Christ was strong and his
work was Cody. In his death another
valuable link that binds this genera
ton to the past is broken. He was n
years old.-Oxford Public Ledger.
Deceased was an uncle of Mrs. R.
Perry, of Henderson, and was well
known to many of our citizens. He
was indeed a good and true man, and
had the friendship and respect of al
who knew him.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Enterprise That Has Given Sa-
Vannah the De Soto.

me enterprise AnzL lbs 1ANoh SN
Vannah the De Soto.
The first attempt to erect hotel on the
site now occupied by the DE Soto was
failure. Il never msterialized be-
yond the purchase Of the property by
number of citizsns, originally 100, each of
whom contributed his pro rata share, about
500, of the amount necessary to pay the
United States government for the Ogle-
thorpe barracks.
Another attempt to build the hotel re-
suited in obtaining subscriptions to the
amount of something more than $4,000
over and above the purchase money for the
site. Eventually, however, the project was
abandoned, the committee having the mat
ter in charge becoming discouraged by the
apparent want of interest among their
fellow-citizens in the enterprise.
The property remained in the hands OF q
number of the original purchasers, some of
whom had bought up blocks of shares until
it was bought back by the government for
$75,OO0 as a site for a new post
Office and courthouse. There was consid-
cradle opposition on the part Of the people
to the purchase by the government for that
purpose. Many objected to it as a site for
the postoffice because it was away from the
business part Of the city, and Others OBJ
jected TO the sale to the government because
by it the last vestige of a hope for a new
hotel would pass away for years, if not
forever.
THE ONLY AVAILABLE SITE.
It was about the only spot upon which
the people could unite TO erect hotel, and,
although they had not yet contributed
enough to do anything more than buy the
land, they still had a lingering hope of
ultimately accomplishing their cherished
project. After lengthy negotiation, the
government was prevailed upon to re-
liIquish its purchase, and a subscription
was raised, many Of the shareholders in the
first hotel project subscribing the amount
of their holdings TO the new enterprise.
1t having been ascertained by careful
canvass that there was q reasonable hope
that sum sufficient to buy the site and build
hotel could be raised, a citizens meeting
was called at the city exchange on Jan. z,
1888, over which Mayor Lester presided
The attendance was not very large. but the
attendants were very enthusiastic. A COM
