Ranhan FL Hill Dead

Died of apoplexy at the home of G.
W. Petty, near Rush Hill, at 1880
o'clock on Thursday night, July %,
Reuben Fl. Hill, at the age of 81 years.
In the death of s'Uncle Reuben" the
entire family of Benjamin Hill, except
one, has gone home. He leaves one
brother, B. W. Hill, and a host of
friends to mourn his loss. His father
emigrated 20 Galloway county from
Virginia in 1929, and in 1910 moved to
this county, where he died at the age
of Sc. "Uncle Reuben" was always an
afflicted man, having never walked
until he was IA years of age. He had
three sisters and six brothers, three
of whom followed General Price
through the late war, B. W., Elkarah
and George G. Hill. George G. Hill
was taken prisoner on Prices last raid
and sent to Rock Island, where he
died. Elkarah B. Hill was killed in a
raid in Texas and B. W. Hill served
his time and was discharged honor
ably and is now the only one remain
ing of a large family. May we all be
as ready as "Uncle Reuben when the
death angel comes. To G. w. Petty
and family Is due many thanks for the
way in which they cared for him in
his ~feebleness, and in his death they
have the sympathy of many warn

Thomas E. Watson.


Thomas E. Watson, the man put up
by the Popuiist Convention as Bryan's
running mate, has been known the
| country over ms 'sTom" Watson since
his first election to the F~fty-second
Conssosa, whore he made q reputa-
ton as a ready debater and became
noted for his unique personality. He
served but one term In Congress, be-
ing succeeded by James q. Block.
Watson had been elected as a Demo-
crat, but became a Popnlist before the
close of his term, and ran the second
time on the Populist ticket. He Ia g
native of Georgia, born in Columbia
County in 1866. He was educated In
the public schools. He went 10 col
lege, but did not complete the course,
owing to a lack Of funds. He tread"
law and has practiced a an attorney,
but is also a farmer. Watson has been
a member of the Georgia Legislature
anda Democratic elector in 1888. In
personal appearance he is tall, thin
and angular and has q wealth Of u
burn hair.

Uniting Our Forces.

MEXICO, Mo-, July denominations
for ce-President, standing as they
| now are, it seems to me that II the
silver forces are to obtain the full
benefit of the entire Democratic and
Populist vote they will almost be COM
PEELED to take something like the fol-
lowing course:
1. The State Committee or conven-
ton get together Immediately and
| agree on one set of electors for both
tickets in every State where the Pop
ulist party nave an organization.
?. Mr.. Sewail and MI. Watson each
to have the full benefit of his own
party's vote for electors, or give the
entire electoral vote to the party cast
ing the majority vote in the electoral
college. There can be no mistake
about prorating that vote.
1t seems to me that something like
the above must be done. A moments
reflection will show it is necessary
and only necessary to say that only
one set of electors can go from each
State.
Any other course may lead to seri-
Gus complications too far reaching for
discussion now. One ounce of pre-
| vention now is worth a thousand
pounds of cure when too late.
1t can scarcely be doubted now that
the splendid courage and patriotism
of the two great parties of popular
rights will rise to the necessities of the
hour and accomplish that which is sc
necessary to insure success.
