pEArH OF TITE Johnson.

Died at his home in Hampstead
at 5:55 p. H., Monday December
2Oth, 1897, TITUS JOHNSON, aged
about Sc years.
Deceased was a gallant mem
Der of Co. c, 9th Texas Cavalry,
Green's Brigade, and for better
than % years the general agent
of the Houston and Texas Cen
trail railway at Hampstead. AS a
business man he was prompt and
accurate; as friend warm, true
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
charitable to all in need; as a
citizen progressive, energetic,
loved and honored by all who
knew him; as a soldier, brave,
dashing and chivalrous, with a
love for the Confederate cause
that amounted to veneration,
while his love and attachment to
his old army comrades was
boundless. No man in the Green
Brigade Association, of which he
was the honored and trusted
treasurer, was more popular, or
more highly esteemed by his
comrades than was the deceased.
He was the commander of Tom
Green Camp, United Confederate
Veterans of Waller county, and
made them an excellent, enthus-
iastic and painstaking officer.
Mr.. johnson was a useful citi-
zen and will be missed by the
people of Hampstead. No more
will his kind and friendly voice
be heard by his friends and COM
rades; it is hushed in silence;
death has claimed him as its own;
his spirit has taken its flight to
brighter and better world, there
to join the mighty throng that
have gone before in singing
Peans and Hosanahs to his Crea-
tor. Tread softly about his bier;
it is hallowed ground; there
sleeps a soldier and a patriot
whom his comrades will ever bear
in fond remembrance and delight
to refer to in terms of praise and
admiration. A good man has
gone to meet his maker. Peace
to his ashes.

THE Bonham News says:
6 With plenty of corn, plenty of
hogs and cattle, plenty of fruit
and vegetables, the farmers of
this county would need much
less ready money than they do
with little of these things and
much cotton. They can raise all
these things for themselves, and
that at very small cost. Let
them fill their granaries and
barns, their cellars and smoke
houses, and it will matter but
little to them if cotton is low"

The WINTER soLsrIcE.
Productive of Mud, Marriages and Good
Crops.

Crops.
Automatically speaking Tues
day, December 21st, was the first
day of winter, however much it
may have differed literally from
the actually beginning of the ice.
kings reign. On that date the
sun reached the mean obliquity
of the eciptic for the year 1897.
That is the king of day reached
the furtherest point of its deelina-
ton south. We will therefore be
some three millions and odd
thousands Of miles nearer to old
Sol, at perihelion on Jan. list
than We were at aphelion on
July 1st. These figures are ar
rived at by a comparison of the
present accepted value of the
solar paaallax at the earth's
mean distance with the eccen-
tricity Of the planets orbit.
The average reporter-and, for
that matter, the average reader
is too busy trying to keep abreast
of the Christmas procession to
keep very accurate tab on the
ecliptic or the winter solstice;
hence any inaccuracies in these
calculations ought to be par
doned.
Besides, Tuesday was the short
est day in the year, and we really
didn't have sufficient time to go
into minute details.
The chief phenomena for
which this solstice has been cele-
brated, has been, is, and proba-
bly, will be-mud and marriages.
The rains descended and the.
floods came and the waters have
covered the earth. There are no
Noah nsvigators in evidence, but
lots of matrimonial arks are be-
ING launched and the dwellers
therein are entering "by twos. .
By reason of the ground being
SO thoroughly saturated the far
mer hopes for ample crops an
other year. It is early indeed to
prognosticate too confidently,
but we win nevertheless gladly
believe that the boun6ful rains
which have descended have borne
increased fertility to many a
region and prepared the ground
for grass, grain and fruits in
abundance another year.

PRIZE WINNERS.
Lucky Estimates on the Weight of Candy
in the HARRISON Guessing Contest.

Lucky Estimates on the Weight of Candy
in the HARRISON Guessing Contest.
The immense stick of candy
which adorned the front of Har-
rison's confectionery establish
ment for several weeks, at the
weight of which some five thous-
and purchasers have guessed,
has been weighed. Out of this
immense number of estimates it
is rather remarkable that only
one guess should be absolutely
correct. The candy weighed ex-
actly 59 pounds and II ounces
and this amount was one of the
estimates made by Mr.. Chas.
Knitted. He is therefore the win
ner of the first prize and has
choice of fifty ten cent cigars, or
So worth of either candy or fire
works. Messrs. E. G. Buster and
A. M. Krug acted as judges and
awarded prizes to nineteen others
whose guesses came closest to
the correct figure as follows:
Tom Bolts, So pounds, 10 2-3
ounces.
Adolph Russi, So pounds, 10
% ounces.
chas. Carlisle, So pounds, 10
ounces.
F. B. Mcfarland, So pounds,
10 ounces.
H. Eldred, So pounds, -
