The evacuation OF Richmond and
Petersburg began at dark on the
81 Of April, 1865. The Union
armies now invested Petersburg ex-
cept where the AppOmattox river
protected il on the northwestern
edge. Chants lines rested upon the
river below and above the town.
The first step, after evacuation had
been decided upon, was the destruc-
lion Of stores, boats, railroads, roll
ing stock and bridges ard public
property generally. The men on
the very front Of the Union line
could hear the rumble Of wheels on
the bridges and reported 10 head
quarters that the sounds indicated
evacuation.

MRS. LYDIA ALLCORN
Another Old Land Mark Gone.

For several days past the lamp Of
life had been Pickering in its socket,
and just as the sun went down on
last Saturday evening, the spirit OF
''Aunt" Lydia Allcorn, left the tene-
ment of clay in which it had dwelt
for nearly Sc years.
Mrs. Allcorn was born in Perry
county Missouri December ID, 1904,
and died August 9th, 1890, aged SIS
years, 7 months and 81 days. She
was, first, married to John ". Stew
art at her fathers home in Missouri,
in the year 1920, with whom she en-
igrated to Texas in 1880. There
were 4 children born to them, 3 of
whom are dead, and the remaining
one, Mr.. W. A. Stewart of Brazos
county, still lives. Her first hus-
band died soon after coming to Tex
as and in the year 1892, she was
married to James D. Allcorn, of
Washington county, Texas. There
were born to them six children, of
whom three are dead and three
living, T. J. Allcorn, James q.
Allcorn and E. NJ. Allcorn, all of
this county. She was bsptised by
the Rev. Mr.. Cox in the year 1888,
and was one of the constituent mem
bers of the Independence Baptist
church, organized September 1. 1889.
Some years after she transferred
her membership from Independence
to the First Baptist church of Bren-
ham, in whose fellowship she re
manned until the Master transferred
her to membership into the Church
and General Assembly of the first
born in heaven.
Mrs. Allcorn was a devout and
consist Christian, devoted and an
mother, a true friend
and a good neighbor. Respected
and loved by all who knew her, she
will be sadly missed by her children,
her church and her friends. She
was probably the oldest person in
this county. A remarkable fact is,
she lived in the same home, five
miles from this city, sixty years, and
under four different governments.
Thus has passed away another of
old land marks, in the
golden sunset of a ripe old age,
honored and respected by all our
people.

Exciting Runaway.

About 2 o'clock Wednesday after,
noon team belonging to G. NJ
Williams took fright at Quebe's
store and made bold break for lib
erty. Willie Williams was on the
sidewalk as they started, but quick
ly jumped into the wagon, but from
some cause was unable to get hold
of the lines. They ran up Ant
street to Main, making a short
wheel and turning the wagon over
in front of Mr.. 10 Fischls store,
throwing Willie Williams out on the
ground, the wagon bed falling on
top of him, injuring his back and
bruising the side of his face. The
team was stopped near the opera
house corner, the wagon being
minus the bed and one wheel.
Young Williams certainly made a
narrow escape, and should be very
careful in the future in handling
this team, as this is the second time
they have run away in town.

Bitten by a Centipede.

On Friday evening while Mr.. 7. J.
Pampell, of this city, was engaged
in feeding his stock with hay he felt
something pricking his left fore arm,
but supposed it to be a piece OF
Bull nettle, until he was bitten,
when he clapped his right hand over
the reptile and mashed it. As soon
as he discovered that he was bitten
by a Centipede he went to the house
and drank a pint of whiskey; sugar,
salt and the white of an egg was ap-
piled to the wound and seems to
have proven beneficial, as Mr.. Pam
pell was at the store on Saturday
morning. The arm, however. is bad
ly swollen, has lue-purple look
and is quite painful yet.

REcovERED.-On last Saturday
night the residence of Mr.S G. n.
Lyman was entered by a burglar
and his keys, pocket knife snd nine
lottery tickets were extracted from
his pants pocket and taken of, not
withstanding the fact that Mr. Hy-
man awoke, saw the burglar and
chased him all around his premises.
In Tuesdays BANNER Mr.. LYMAN
offered a reward of $3.50 for the re-
turn of the stolen articles, and late
on Tuesday evening an old colored
man named Munday returned the
keys and tickets, stating that his
children had found them secreted
on a sill under the Firemen's pavil.
ion. What business Munday's chill
dren had under the pavilion, no one
seems to know. 1t is a well known
fact that colored people are not per
mitted on those grounds at any time,
and they were simply intruders
there. The truth OF the matter is
they were not found at the pavilion.
The man who stole them sent them
back to get the reward, and no one
knows it any better than old man
Munday himself.
