A prominent firm of New York. deal
ing in United States bonds, which
wishes to become more prominent, has
issued a circular entitled; "a Great
Financial Crisis. The Silver Act Of 80
must be repealed" in which IL says;
Every days delay means untold ruin
and heartrendlng distress Our great
United States are honest, yet our
honesty is impugned We have made a
mistake We know IL. It Is the will of
the people that this grave mistake shall
be Immediately corrected. Let the Pres
dent convene Congress at once and
then let the people In all parts Of the land
rise up and with righteous indignation
demand that this law be Immediately
repealed.
That Is all true. 1t is excellent so
far is it goes; but we wish to use the
occasion to emphasize the politics Of It.
The Silver act Of 80 is the act Of John
Sherman and OF the party to which he ad
here's and was passed, according to the
little man who sat In the chilly corner Of
the Presidential chair, as temporary
eIpedient" Those men were warned.
They did not pass the Sherman bill in
such hurry that the statesmen Of the
country had no time to tell them that
financial legislation should have higher,
nobler, more serious purposes than that
Of keeping Harrison out OF a
hole, Harrison says he did
not dread the hole. But the
bill was passed and what we wish to
emphasize is; that to keep Harrison out
Of hole, the party in power with Mr..
Harrison al the head, put the country,
the Treasury and the people in the hole
Mr.. Harrison in his brilliantly humorous
manner laughed heartily at the situation.
He esteems 1t funny that he escaped the
hole into which he and his party dumped
the country into as a temporary expedi-
ent.

Death of Mrs. A. L., sharp.

1t is with sadness that we record the death of
Mrs. Lucy R. Sharp, W ife of Mr.. A. L. Sharp,
of this place. She had been dangerously ill for
a week or two, but was thought to be better,
Thursday, and it was quite shock to the COM
lnunity when the news of her death was report
ed Friday morning. Mrs. Sharp was the daugh-
ter of Edward and Sarah Oakley, and was born
at Aiken, S. c., January I7th. 1865. She pur-
sued and finished course of study in voice
culture at the city of Boston, Mass, and came
to Texas in 1885, and accepted position as
vocal teacher in the Southwestern University at
this place. This position she filled with satis-
faction to all. Her rich, FULL cultivated voice
was appreciated by our people, and all soon
learned to know and love her. She was married
Nov. 8, 1886, to Mr.. A. L. Sharp. She leaves
one little child, a boy, between four and FIVE
years of age. The funeral services were con-
| Quoted at the family residence Friday afternoon
by Rev. J. R. Nelson, DR.. S. P. Wright, and
DR.. J. H. Mclean. DR.. Mclean made an
| earnest, impressive talk, in which he spoke of
the beautiful life and character of the deceased
| After the service the body was taken to the L.
.. o. F. cemetery, and was buried in flowers,
both the grave and the coffin being covered with
flowers. After this beautiful tribute, the sor-
rowing friends returned, leaving the sext on to
fill up the grave. To the bereaved husband
and motherless little one, as well as the sisters
and other relatives, are extended the deepest
sympathy of our people. Her death was indeed
loss to the whole community Williamson

t. James O.. Mason died at his residence, 778
Wilson Avenue, Cleveland. Tuesday morning.
February 14th, of ossfcation of the liver and
bowels, or in common parlance, bone cancer,
aged 73 years. =. ''
Mr.. Mason was born in one of the New Eng
land States in October, 1919, and came to
Campbellsport, this County, about 184I. After
remaining there several years he removed to
Ravenna, and continued in active business in
this town until 1861. when he removed to
Cleveland and engaged in the wholesale liquor
business with the late I. D. Bishop and C. A.
Medgker, under the firm name of Bishop, Ma
son & Medgker. This firm continued for some
years, when it was dissolved, and Mr.. Mason
formed new partnership with E w. Dorman,
and subsequently with T. H. Goodsell, the firm
at his death being Mason, Goodsell & co. In
| April, I843, he was married to Miss Huldah M.
Stanley, who died in December, 1870 There
; were no children of this marriage.
In 1873 he married Miss F. A. Cleland, of
Cleveland, O., who with three children, survive
| him.
During his residence in Ravenna he was quite
extensively engaged in the tobacco and cigar
business, and accumulated a vely handsome
property, which he largely added to after his
removal to Cleveland, amounting at the time of
his death to about 100000.
Mr.. Mason man of good business prin-
ciples, honorable in all his dealings, with high
sense of commercial honesty, and entirely free
from those artifces that sometimes pertain
among business men.
| He was plain spoken, blunt and positive
sort of man; at the same time he had kind
heart and great many generous qualities, and
his friends and those who knew him best appre-
ciated his good qualities, and were tn e ones who
| thought most highly of him, and entertained
for him the most genuine respect.
During his life he was a firm and consistent
Democrat, and never hesitated on all proper
occasions to express his political sentiments and
declare his confidence in the justice and ult-
mate triumph of the principles and doctrines of
his party.

The john Byers Company.

Since the last issue of the PRESS, announcing
the proposed enlargement of the plant of this
Company, contracts for the brick, and stone,
and carpenter work have been let the first to
Brigham & Williams, of this city, and the last
to contractor Nash, of Kent. The beams and
certain other iron material to be used, will come
from the Carnegie Steel Company. =
The Company have great need of the addi-
ton, and are anxiously awaiting suitable wealth
er in order that the work of building may be
commenced. 1t is hoped to have the new part
ready for occupancy by the middle of April.
Business at the Works continues with increas-
ing briskness, the order book showing steady
increase that speaks well for the Byers Hoist.
Hoists were sent to Jacksonville, Fla, and
St. Louis, last week, and an order came in yes
terday from the Leesville, o., StCne Quarry Co.
But the most important achievement of late, is
the securing of a second order for hoists to be
used in the service of the United States by the
U. S. River Commission. The Company filled
a test order some time ago, notice of which ap-
peared in the PRESS, and the booking of a
second order is very gratifying endorsement
for the Company's work, and most valuable
criticism on the character of their machine.
Such an establishment is bound to develop
into very large plant

Sunday afternoon the people of this section
were treated to a Buckeye rarity-a genuine
blizzard. The day began in anything but a
pleasant mood. and seemed to grow angrier
every hour. as if in a rage that increased with
time.
" Gathering its hrows like gathering storm,
Nursing its wrath to keep it warm.''
About O'Clock its fury eliminated in ter
rife wlndstorm, accompanied by a fall of snow
that darkened the air with its ininitude of
fakes that were whirled and driven by the
whistling blasts like sand in a simeon. Hun
dreds Of people looked upon a blizzard for the
first time in their lives and we have yet to hear
of one who has expressed desire to again wit
ness such elemental novelty. The vision
could scarcely penetrate thirty feet into the
binding mass, which seemed SO dense and thick
as to almost crowd itself out of the atmosphere
Every crannie and crevice. every loose board
and every insecure object was searched out and
made to own the power of the fierce February
gale. The oldest inhabitant' has not yet been
heard from with story to equal the weather

The only serious damage we have discovered
about town lis the blowing down of the Dye
works stack, which was elevated last Saturday.

places, making a bad loss for some one to bear
Among the minor happenings was the blowing
down of large maple tree in front of the An
Poe residence on West Cedar street.
In another part of town family were watch
ing the storm. in the course of which they
changed their position from the west to the
south window, the wife having her little three
year old daughter in her arms. They had just
stepped up to the window when a huge object
came crashing through the glass right into
| their very faces. scattering the broken metal
over the entire room. By seeming miracle
no one was injured. with the exception of the
wife sustaining a slight cut over one eye The
| wind had blown off the iron top to the kitchen
chimney and the guy wires not permitting its
entire release. it was carried to position just
right for the ensuing calamity.
| The sidewalks were plentifu1ly strewn with
twigs and sm all branches from trees. and nu-
merous huge snowdrifts were piled across the
pedestrian ways.
