CLARKSvILLE DRUG CO.'S
Tribute to the Memory Of It's Late Hon
ored and Beloved President, DR..
Townsend A. Thomas.

At recent meeting Of the directors
of the Clarksville Drug Company,
Thos. III. Hyman and f. f. Abbott
were appointed committee to draft
resolutions of sorrow over the COM
pany's sudden and deplorable loss in
the death of it's beloved and honored
president, DIR. T. A. Thomas, on April
25, 1892, from neuralgia of the heart.
DIR. Thomas had long ago enjoyed
the confidence of the entire commu-
nifty as druggist and Christian gen.
tleman, whose honor and integrity
were umimpeachable as far back as the
| forties, continuing in q fiourishing con-
at which time his great care was to
wives, widows and orphans of Con-
situated on the old Public Square, and
throughout his long, well spent life
no sick sufferers ever called on him in
| vain. He was ever ready to
relieve the poor and comfort
the distressed, to cheer the down
trodden and encourage the young
He was living example of Natures
Nobleman," and well deserved the
name given him of The Grand Old
Man.
After the residence of several years
in New York and Cincinnati, DR..
Thomas returned to Clarksville and
founded the II. A. Thomas Drug Co.,
and by close attention and his great
popularity succeeded in building up
good business in one years time, but
not being entirely satisfied withdrew
from that company and Immediately
organized the present Clarksville
Drug Co. His friends rallied to him
nobly with money and trade and he
had the proud satisfaction of seeing
the Clarksville Drug Co. start off with
good share of business and rapidly
increase in paying one with pat
rOnage constantly growing, reaching
beyond his most sanguine eXpecta-
tions, and his energy placed the
Clarksville Drug Co. in so tlourishing
condition that its success is secured
and guaranteed in the future. BY his
wise administrative ability as its hon
ored president and manager, 1t stands
as O crowning monument to his long
and we'll spent life. DIR. Thomas, by
his example, has shown how pure man
can be, and how much usefulness and
good one man is capable of. Be it
therefore
Resolved, That in the death of DIR.
Il. A. Thomas the Clarksville Drug
Co. has lost its most faithful officer,
the community one of its best and
most honored citizens, the Methodist
church life long member and finan-
cial steward for many years, his be-
reaved wife and family tender, low
ing husband and father, and to them
we tender our heartfelt sympathy and
regard.
Resolved, That we endorse every act
of DIR. Il. A. Thomas in his official ca
pacity of president of this company,
and that n copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the secretary's records
as part of the company's history and
be published in the daily papers of
this city. Il. II. HYMAN,

Senator ingalls, Dalnwlck, all OF whom
will recline ON wire mattresses at the
Nicollet. The same register will also
bear the autographs of the contingents
from Nebraska, New Jersey and New
Mexico. The Iowa delegation, already
mentioned, will not all be Quartered at
the West. Some of the southern neigh
bors will consort with the small detach-
ment from New York who are domiciled
at the Holmes, while others will be sent
over on the convention side of the river
and be given virtuous couches at the
Window
The Holmes, besides looking after the
comfort and the shekels Of those already
referred to, will entertain the twenty
two Alabamans, the twenty-six states
men from Georgia, with the cool and
nervy men from Washington and Mon
tana Then the Holmes will be further
distinguished by having the two gentle
men who win try to see that Utah is
not entirely forgotten. A portion of the
Iowa delegation, the main body of whom
will stop at the West, is also assigned
to the Holmes, while another section is
booked for the Window.
The twenty-six moonshiners from
Kentucky were late about letting the
local committee know whether they
wanted an early or late dinner, but they
have Jared very well, They will keep
the two boomers from Oklahoma from
getting lonesome, and this will be done
at the Victoria, good but not so very
spacious tavern. Tho Kellogg, or what
is supposed to be the regular delegation
from Louisiana, will take twenty min
utes or more for refreshments at the st.
James, where they will consort with a
part of the Mississippi delegation and a
few of the gentlemen from South Da-
kota. The delegates from South Caro-
lima and West Virginia will be at home
to friends for u few days at the Bruins
wick.
The national committee will have
headquarters at tho West. Their inter
ests were looked after very early by the
local committee, as was we'll, and as a
result the big committeeman will have
pretty comfortable time of it. All the
larger delegations, like the New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Massachu
setts, ETC., have arranged for headquar-
ters at the West or Nicollet.
A large number of the delegates and
alternates who are booked for hotel
are very likely to be taken in as the
guests Of prominent Minneapolitans,
who have offered their. homes for the
good of the cause. 1t is very largely a
matter of local and state pride, and
every effort will be made to make every
body happy. II it is not done it will not
be for lack of proper effort.
Senator Washburn, in his palatial
Fair Oaks, will entertain Senator Hoar
and other equally prominent gentlemen.

largely of people from nearly every state
in the Union, and especially every New
England and middle state. These peo.
pie have kept their eyes on that gradu-
ally increasing list of delegates and al
ternates, and great many will receiv"
cordial invitation to be guests at pri-
vate homes. And they'll miss 1t if they
don't accept.
For the countless thousands who will
flock into Minneapolis for an opportuni
ty to size up national convention and
to witness the wonders of the twin cities,
the hundreds of lesser hotels and private
boarding houses will open wide then

Paul sits upon its seven by nine hills

sions. The two cities are practically
one. They are connected by half a
dozen railways and by electric, cable and
horse cars. One may journey from the
heart of one city to the very center Of
the other in less than half an hour.
No national convention ever met in q
more imposing or capacious edifice than
the Minneapolis exposition building. II
will accommodate from $4,000 to $4,000
people, and its acoustic properties are
perfect. There is no doubt about your
being able to hear the speeches if you
are fortunate enough to secure o seat in
tho gallery. The accompanying illus.
tration gives avery good idea of the hall
as viewed from the stage. Ample &C
commodations have been provided for
the press, and the able pencil pushera
may be relied upon to give prompt, ac-
curate and complete reports of the pro.
| ceedings.
To the disappointed boomer whose
favorite shall have been defeated in the
convention the beautiful environments
Of Minneapolis will offer sweet solace
There is fair Minnehaha, made famous
in Longfellow's romantic poem Of 'Hia.

situated in the midst of beautiful
park which the state has reserved for

by half dozen different routes. Only
a mile from Minnehaha is Fort Smell

the most picturesque in America. 1t Is
on high bluff at the junction Of the
Minnesota and Mississippi rivers.
Only twenty minutes ride from Min
