now Unese TWO DrOJners began TO talk to-
gether. They explained everything from
the day when they bid for the watch up to
the one when they now met, Baard conclud-
ing by taking out the lump of gold, always
carried with him, and it was now made
clear between the brothers that in all these
years they had not felt happy a single day.
Anders did not say much, for he was not
strong enough, but Baard remained sitting
by his bedside as long as Anders wasill.
Now, am quite WELL" said Anders,
one morning when he woke; "now, brother,
we shall live long together, and never
leave each other, just as of old"
But hat day he died.
him, and they Jared well from that time.
What the brothers had talked of together
sprung out through walls and darkness,
and was knU"u 10 all the people of The
district, and Bard became the most re-
spected man among them. All greeted
him as one who had known great sorrow
and found happiness again, or as one who
had been absent long time.
Boards firmness of character increased
with the friendliness which surrounded
him. He became God fearing man and
wished to find some occupation, he said,
and so the old corporal became school mas
ter. What he impressed on the children
first and last was charity, and he himself
practiced it, so that the children in the lit
tie school loved him at once as playmate
and as father.-"The Happy Boy" by

THE TIME TO PRAY.

All! when the infinite burden Of life descendeth
upon us,
brushes to earth our hopes and under the earth
is the graveyard,
Then it is good to pray unto God, for his sorrow
ing children
He ne'er turns from the door, but He heals and
helps and consoles them.
Yet it is better to pray when all things pros.
porous with US,
Pray in fortunate days, for life's most beautiful
fortune
Kneels before the Eternals throne, and with hands
interfolded
Praises thankful and moved the only Giver Of
blessings. -Longfellow.

correspondence of the Gazette.
Ross, TEX. Aug. 16.-With sorrow il
becomes our sad DUTY to chronicle the
death of good man in every sense of
the term, Mr.. George W. Roddy. Mr..
Roddy was born in Moulton, Lawrence
county, Ala, January 10, 1919. Hence
at the time of his death, yesterday
evening, he was sixty-nine years old.
He was married August l6, 1888, to
Miss Ada Morris of North Carolina. with
whom he lived happily until January
1882; was the father Of eleven children
nine of which lived to be grown. Mr..
Roddy came to Eastern Texas in 1854.
following farming for living until the
war of the rebellion when he enlisted in
the Confederate army, serving with dis
tinction and attaining the rank of COL
onel. At the close of the war he moved
to Falls county where he has since re-
sided until about eight months ago since
when he came to this place and has re-
sided with his sou-in-law, j. T. Cla-
baugh. Mr.. Roddy was a very healthy
strong man., Injured to hardship of
all kinds and never had O davis
sickness in his life until about two years
ago, when d cancer appeared on his
face. he did not pay much attention
to it, however, until about eight months
since, when he was compelled to stop
work. Since that time 1t has been
continual source of trouble TO him and
the suffering he has undergone Is seldom
the fate Of man. He bore il without q

TERRITORY AFFAIRS
The Terrible prouth General-The Choctaw
Election Too Close to Tell Any
thing Abouti IL.
Corretpondence Of the Ga,ette.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
AToKA, 1. T. Aug. 16.-Too many re-
ports have gone out about the Choctaw
election for principal chief. The real
truth is it cannot be foretold who is legal
ly elected-Jones or Smallwood. The
legislature will determine in October. The
elective officers, being Indians, are often
thoughtless, careless and ignorant, and
do not comply with the requirements of
the law. Many votes, many precincts,
are thus thrown out because of illegslity.
The election is very close, and the official
count may change present calculations
and figures considerably. One thing in
favor of Jones, however, is that his par
~ has more members in the council than
the Smallwood party, and of course they
will count him in if possible. Your COR
respondent bad q long interview with
United States Indian Agent Bennett, on
his return from the Chickasaw Nation.
Byrd is, of course, elected by q large
majority, because the white citizens, who
have voted for years and held office
and been used by the Nation for its
benefit for these many years were not al
lowed to vote and are now disfranchised
in the interest of ring who wish all the
power and all the money.
Agent Bennett took no sides, but told
both parties that peace must be pre-
served. Thoughtful friends to the Chick
asaws believe the course of Byrd and his
party will only hasten the breaking up of
the tribal relations aud the opening up of
that country.
Your correspondent has been travelling
extensively through the Territory of late.
The drouth has been almost universal
and the Creeks, Seminoles, Chickasaws
and Choctaws have very short crops of
corn. The Creeks and Seminoles will
get large monies paid to them per capita
which will feed them for season. AS
an illustration of the severity of the
drouth, a good farmer said he had
twenty-seven acres of excellent land in
corn and would not make 200 bushels.

TINE WILL TELL.
The Case of Chance Kelley Convicted Of the
Murder 81 George Washington.
FAIRFIELD, TEX, Aug. l6, 1890.

hurUPf GI george NdeIinRtOn'
FAIRFIELD, TEX, Aug. l6, 1880.
To the Gazette.
"Chance Kelley, the negro who killed
George Washington in this county last
winter was convicted late last night, and
Sentenced to the penitsntiary for ninety
nine years. This is the third time this
negro has been tried for murder. The
first time he was sent to prison and sery-
ed out q term. The second time he
killed Neil Washington, brother of his
last victim, and was cleared, and now he
gets justice for his third capital offence. -
-Corsicana correspondence Of the Fort
Worth GAZETTE.
The above news item does Chance
Kelley great injustice, because he has
never been convicted and has never
served a single day in the penitentiary.
1t is true he was indicted by the grand
jury of this county for the killing of Neil
Washington. This killing he did not
deny, as Washington was trying to kill
him with an oak puncheon, and what
Kelley did, he did in self defence, and
after full investigation of the case, it
was dismissed by the district attorney.
About three months ago Geo. Washing
ton, q brother of Neil Washington,
was shot at night at negro gather
ing of some kind, and Chance Kelley was
arrested and tried for the murder, and
convicted as above. Since the trial l
have talked with Mr.. Geo. A. Bell, one
his attorneys, and he tells me that the
evidence was more than sufficient TO
justify an acquital. Mr.. Bell and Col.
Croft of Corsicana will appeal the case,
and are perfectly sauguine of reversing
the case in the court of appeals. 1 have
been reliably informed that the jury
stood at first, nine for acquital and three
for conviction. l write this in
simple justice to Kelly, who is
negro considerably over the average of
his race. He is well thought of by all
white men who know him, ana there are
very few who believe him guilty of this
murder. In fact, they have such strong
faith in his innocence that he can get all
the assistance he wants in and around
Winkler to fight his case through the
higher courts. l am not an attorney for
Kelley, neither am paid to write this
article in his behalf, but through simple
justice to the negro. l know him per-
sona!ly and cannot believe him to be
guilty of such willful murder. Neither
do 1 want him misrepresented through
the press because he is negro. He has
his rights under the law, as much so as
the richest white man IN the country,
and l firmly believe time will prove him
innocent, if his skin is black
