J. G. PENDLETON DEAD.
A Texas Veteran, Well Known in
Waco, has Passed Away.

j. G. Pendleton, for many years
resident of Waco, and we'll known
to many of the people here, died at
Sulphur Bluffs, in Hopkins county,
on the 25th inst.
Mr.. Pendleton was born in
Pendleton county, Va. (now West
Virginia., Nov. s, 1916. and was,
therefore in his seventy eighth year.
He came to Texas in 1888 and
settled al Bastrop. He engaged
as did most of the Texans of that
day-in many fights with the
Indians, was soldier in the Next.
can war, and served in the Confed.
crate army during the war between
the states. In 1876 he removed to
Waco, and here made his home un.
til last summer, when he went to
reside with relatives at Sulphur
Bluffs.
When leaving the city which had
been his home for almost 20 years
he locked forward with pleasant
anticipations TO a return in April,
when the surviving Texas veterans
are to reunite here, though his
hopes were filled with doubt-not
fear and he talked freely to his
friends of the chances against his
seeing them again. His doubts
we're we'll founded, and when the
rapidly diminishing roll is called on
San Jacinto day, his voice will not
respond.
Thus has passed away, loaded
with years and the esteem of his
fellow.men, another of that grand
galaxy of characters who laid deep
and strong the foundations of the
Texas Republic, upon which is
built the Empire state of the
Union.
Farewell, old friend, "and flights
of anlges hymn thee to thy rest"

People overlooked the importance
of permanently beneficial effects
and were satisfied with transient
action; but now that it is generally
known that Syrup of Figs will per-

well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act for a
time, but finally injare the system.

JOHN BULL IN AFRICA.
The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
100000 Square Miles.

The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
1,4OO,O 900 Square Miles.
The latest acquisition of African ter.
ritory gives Great Britain an unbroken
line across the length of Africa from
the Mediterranean and the Nile to the
extreme point of the continent. In all.
this territory, held in various ways,
from Cape Colony up to the 'occupa-
ton" of Egypt, is in extent about l, 400,
900 square miles and has population
of 30, 600, 900. In the Nile valley it in
cludes incomparably the best of north
Africa. In Uganda it holds the key to
the lakes of central Africa, nearly as
large as our own lake system. The new
treaty gives it the high land west of
Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher
and healthier than the eastern, in Ger
man hands.
The new conquests of the British
South Africa company add the great ia
blelands of the interior of subtropical
Africa, in much Of which white men
live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the
only vital European settlement in all
Africa. AS it stands this great high
way holds two-thirds of all of Africa in
which Europeans can live and carry on
efficient administration 1t has the
most fertile tract in the continent in
Egypt, its healthiest in Cape Town, it's
greatest gold mines and the only region
from which tropical Africa can be con-
trolled.
Still more important is its relation to
African water courses. A steamer can
start at Alexandria and run, when the
mahdi's successor is cleared away, to
point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 1875
miles from Lake Tanganyika. This runs
to within 20 miles of Lake Nyassa From
