Representative Henderson, of Lamar County,
the scene OF the recent lynching of Henry
Smith, the negro who outraged and mur-
dered four year old girl, made speech in
the Texas House, in reply to Gov Hogg's
message of yesterday. Henderson said he had
no criticism to make on Gov. Hogg. and while
he admitted the horror of the execution. he
defended the people of Lamar County as a
wealthy and refined community, and pleaded
In extenuation of the lynching the horrible
crime which led to it,
lie said Gov. Hogs message virtually out
iawed his County. and he claimed consideration
for his people who had been hurried on by
most fearful crime to send the soul of the
demon, Henry Smith. down to the utmost
depths of hell, where he hoped and believed it

RECOLLECTIONS.

What a blessed thing is memory!
How 1t brings up the pleasures of the
past, and hides its unpleaSantness
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would returna
You remember the pleasant associa-
tions, while the unpleasant ones are
| forgotten. Perhaps to your mind
comes the face of some friend. 1t
was once pale, sad face. Itshowed
marks of pain, lines of care. 1t
seemed to be looking into the here
after, the unknown future. And
then you recalled how it frightened,
how it recovered its rosy hue, how
it became a picture of happiness
and joy. Do you remember these
thingsg Many people do, and gladly
tell how the health returned, how
happiness came back, how the world
seemed bright. They tell how they
were once weak, neryeless, perhaps
in pain, certainly unhappy. They
tell of sleepless nights, restless days,
untouched food, unstrung nerves.
And then they tell how they became
happy, healthy and strong once ore.
You have heard it often in the past,
have you not? You have heard peo-
pie describe how theywere cured and
kept in health? You certainly can re-
member what it is that has so helped
people in America. If not, listen to
what Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who
is known universally as the great
dress reformer, says: "Six years ago,
when suffering from mental care and
OVerwOrk, | received the most pro-
nounced benefit from the use of that
great medicine, Warmers Safe Cure"
All, now you remember. Now you re-
call how many peopley you have heard
say this same thing. Now you recol-
lect how much you have heard of
this great Cure. Now you are ready
to admit that memory is usually
pleasing, that the highest pleasure
comes from perfect health, and that
this great remedy has done more to
produce and prolong health than any
other discovery ever known in the
entire history of the whole world.

SULTANA PATTERN.
"TRE LAST FOUR WEEKS OF TIE
WAR;"

There probably was no period Of the civil
war more fraught with events destined to
stand so prominently in history as the days
Just before the final dissolution Of the
armies.
A great deal Is constantly being written
bearing on the war, but it is seldom that TH z
NATIONAL TRIBUNE finds . book which
really throws enough new light on the
momentous struggle to warrant its recon-
mendation. "The Last Four Weeks of the
War" is an exception, however. The
author, Mr. Edmund N. Hatcher, has searched
the newspaper files of those days of both the
North and South, and has brought to Us an
impartial picture of the closing scenes,
not as they appear in looking back, but the
impressions they made on the days Of their
occurrence-thus making diary Of events
rather than history.
Commencing with March 25, 1865, he fol-
lows the movements of all the armies and
divisions at that time in the field, and the
acts of the leaders, upon whom all eyes were
turned, until juno %, when Gen. Mesde
spoke shis farewell address to his soldiers
and the Army Of the Potomac ceased 20
exist.
To all who are interested this will prove
. valuable book.
The book is an svo. Of 418 pages, with
halftone engravings. It Il we'll printed
On fine paper and elegantly bound in cloth.
By special arrangement The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE viii send it to any subscriber for
$1.0O, or any one sending $1.75 will receive
the book and the paper for one year, or sent
free to any one sending club Of Ave sub
scribers at $1.0O each.

Offer No. 8E3. Mems Size, So.

No. 313 is mems size open face Ameri-
can watch, which is made by the cele-
brated Seth Thomas Company. This caIn ,
pany has for many years enjoyed the
distinction Of making the very best clocks
in the world. Having all the machinery
for turning out accurate timepieces, they
have applied themselves to the manufacture
of high-grade wa ches. Thousands of our
subscribers have wished to buy watches
which will keep the most accurate time,
but they have been kept from doing SO by
the high prices of other fine watches, and
for their benefit we have at last succeeded
in getting an option upon some of these
world-renowned watches, and we will sell
the first 900 at such price that every sub
scriber who needs watch may purchase one.
We have decided to do away with all profits
and to offer the watch at the bare cost of
handling. The regular list price of this
watch is $3.50; and when the description is
read, subscribers will see why we say so
much about this wonderful bargain. This
watch contains (amopg many other improve
ments) the worid-renowned cut balance
wheel, which is self-compensating, and which
neutralizes the effects OF heat and cold. The
handspring is made Of steel SO highly tenn
pered that, although the watch beats 900
times per hour, it will retain its elasticity
and temper for generations. The works
are jeweled with precious gems in every
necessary part. This means that the watch
is indestructib1e, because the pinions
run with unequaled smoothness upon the
polished surface of these valuable stones.
The far-famed patent safety pinion saves
the watch from harm in many cases where
great damage would otherwise be sustained.
The stem-winding and setting apparatus
are of an approved order, and the watch
may be placed in a hunting case whenever
the purchaser so desires ~ ,ot
The works present magnificent appear
ance, owing to the perfection of the finish
and the great care bestowed upon them by
the hundreds of skilled workmen who are
employed in this department. go =.
