a Strong Endorsement
From the Democrat, Atlanta, Texas.

Linden, Texas, March 81, 1896.
This is to certify that my wife and
son suffered from dropsy-my wife
afflicted for six years. During that
time I resorted to every remedy
known to the medical profession in
this section Of the coun try. In my
great anxiety and desire to alleviate
their suffering I consulted two emi
nept doctors in New York, and after
several months treatment ! could
discover no visible improvement, not
saying anything for their recovery.
While in Jefferson, Texas, some
two years since I happened to men
ton the condition of my wife and son
to leading physician and druggist.
He advised me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. After
considerable persuasion I reluctantly
consented to do so. At first
boaeht two packages and by the
time one package had been taken
saw a marked change for the better
I continued the use of them until
twenty packages or boxes had been
taken wheH to my surprise and
great Joy my wife and son had fully
recovered and are to day in fine
health.
Too much cannot be said in com
mendation OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They are certainly great boon to
suffering humanity, and take great
pleasure in Offering this testimonial.
In connection with this I will state
that two of cur leading physicians
treated my wife and SON.

In memory Of Thomas Quattie-
baum, who was born May the 9Th,
1915, and departed this life August
the 21st, 1896, making his earthly
pilgrimage 81 year, 8 months and
Is days.
In early life he joined the Mount
.Ebal Baptist church and remained a
Jealous and consistent member to bis
death, ever ready to perform any
duty dsaolving upon him for the a'.
vancement Of the Redeemer's cause.
As u proof Of his faithfulness, he
served as deacon Of said church for
forty six years.
He was married to Epsy jackson,
daughter of Henry and Rachael
Jackson, January 7th, 1886, making
their married life over sixty years.
To them were born fourteen children,
seven sons and seven daughters, all
of whom survive their father, except
Daniel, gallant Confederate soldier.
came amiss in the war between the
States, either killed or died; With
this exception the fathers death was
the first to occur in this large fam
lily. How the Lord blessed them,
and this deceased father in Christ
lived to see all those sons and daugh-
tiers grown, and consistent members
of the Baptist church, and men and
women Of responsibility. What
greatsconsolation it must be to pa
rents Who bring up their children in
!this'way. He was also true patriot.
When the Seminole war broke out in
1886, he volunteered as amemberofa
company commended by his illpstsi-
7ous s brother, Paul Quattlebaum, apd,
served his country faithfully until be
was honorsbly discharged. He re,
turned to his home and performed
his duty as private citizen; hence
he is one of the last of those Florida
soldiers to cross over the river and
rest under the shades of the trees:
He was in every sehse hospitable,
Christian gentleman, whose charac-
ter is worthy OF emulation. His fu-
neral services were performed by the
Reverends John Lake and Joab Ed
wards at the home Of the deceased,
in the presence Of q large concourss
of sorrowing relatives and friends,
who manifested every evidence OF
the high esteem they entertained for
him. His earthly remains were In
tered in the family cemetery near
his home. Dry your tears, dear rela-
tives and friends, you weep not as
those who have no hope, your loss is
his gain; and remember if we are
faithful we shall soon meet him in
that rest for the finally faithful.
A Friend.

sister, Annie Hutto, in the prime Of

US in the midst of usefulness to her

commingled with cares, SORROWS, sad
ness and pleasures to land OF JOY

feet are never more to stray, where
the weary sigh no more, where the
skies are always cloudless and where
the sun shines always bright, where
the chilly blasts are felt 70 more,
where the sun drops OF life's dreary
winters shall blossom, where heaven,
sweet heaven, unfolds her beautious

ending, eternal day, therefore
Resolved, That the Church at

The Court House a Bum" Job.

Distrust the man who habitually
disparages the character and ques-
tions the honesty OF people pre-
miscuously.
The new courthouse Is a lament.
able failure In all the essentials of
convenience, light, ventilation and
proportion.
The entrance is clumsy, small,
inconvenient and ill-planned. II
is too small for the size of the
building. Four men can not enter
abreast; indeed two good-sized
men can not pass each other in the
entrance.
The gallery on the west side is
neither useful nor ornamental. 1t
is superfluous and mars all the
offices, by scanting them in size,
light and ventilation. II that was
the purpose had in view, it is pre-
eminently success; otherwise it
is a total nuisance.
Considering its immense cost the
new court house is a stupendous
failure except in one respect-as a
model of how court house should
not be built.
In point Of convenience, size of
the offices, light. ventilation, arch
itectural proportions and beauty,
the city hall outranks it by many
degrees.
1t is som bre in color, heavy and
disfigured by those pidgeon house
cupolas which seem to have been
intended as specimens of the gro
tesqe, or the burlesque.
Bexar can boast of an. original
conception in the way Of court

it will be copied or duplicated by
any other county in the Union.

THE NEXT MAYOR.

Editor Frank Bushick, of the
Daily Express, very sensibly re-
marks:
"While a few fit and various
unfit persons are being mention
ed for mayor, the taxpayers and
voters should keep in mind that
whatever other consideration en-
ters into their choice, the person
hOnOred with that high Office
should above all other things be
competent. No other local official
has so much to do with the ply
steal comforts and material in
terests of the people as the may
or. 1t requires as much ability
to make good mayor of city
the size of San Antonio as it does
to make a good governor or man
ager of a railroad or any other
large corporation involving in
terests equal to the thirty mil
lion dollars of our taxable val
ues. For such important trusts
persons are not usually selected
merely because of their national
ity, or because they are good fell
lows, or worse still because they
have large stOmachs and empty
heads. The latter description of
public officials are usually shov-
ed forward by some delirious
movement. of political amateurs
who drag from Obscurity some
quiet old blOckhead and fancy
him an ideal performer" merely
because he is inexperienced in
and knows nothing about public
Such refOrmers as these
have bankrupted and despOiled
cities all over this
country and almost stamped as
a failure the scheme of municipal
government. The next mayor of
San Antonio will have to face
many serious administrative pro
blems. He will have to finish up
and make effective a delayed and
bunglesOme job of sewer-making
he will have to make retrench-
ments in and improve the service
in the various departments of the
city government; he will have to
give us more sanitary inspectors
and fewer stool pigeons around
the city hall; fewer perquisites
for officials and prOmpter pay
days for employees; clean up and
improve the streets and plazas
and make them attractive. The
next mayor will not only have to
do these things, but he will first
have to face the greater problem
of Strengthening out the tang
led finances of the city, restore
its credit and wipe out the grow
ing discrepancy between it's ex-
penditures and revenue. To do
these things requires a practical
man, a brOad-guaged and pro-
greSsive man, an executive with
a backbone and a mind of his
own, a man of ability and expe-
rience in public affairs. Let US
hone we will oct him."
