A Hardin County Boy.

Private Neil Tatum, a cousin of
Frank Shelby, of this place, and
who was born and partly reared
in this county, died in San An
tonic, Texas, and was buried with
military honors. The

and was very largely attended. 1t took place
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning Uuly ~
from:the undertaking parlors Of ]. 7. Burnett
& Co., where large number Of sorrowing
friends and comrades in arms were gathered
to pay their last tribute Of respect to the dead.
The procession was headed by Troop Of
the First Texas Volunteer Cavalry, the post
of honor having been given that command on
account of the fact that it is San Antonio
troop and the further fact that it was the de-
sire Of the family as well as Of the command
itself that i! should take prominent part in
the funeral ceremonies. The Belknaps
were in command OF Lieut.. Hal. Howard,
and mustered the full strength of the COM
pany, every man out Of the hospital deeming
it his said but solemn duty to assist in the
burial Of his dead fellow San Antonian.
The religious ceremonies at the chapel and
at the grave were impressvely conducted by
Rev. A. J. Harris Of the First Baptist church,
and the MARTA! rites by the cavalry, the reg
mental bugar sounding "taps" and the
troopers firing three volleys over the grave.
The pall-bearers were all companions Of the
deceased. They were: W. f. Woods, Ben
Wise, William Wise, Ben Andrews, Phil
Wright and William Hawkins.
The floral offerings were many and beauti-
full, one of the handsomest being large
wreath of white lilies, the gift of the ladies
auxiliary to the Zouaves, which society attend
ed the funeral. A number Of prominent citi'
zens were in attendance and very large
number of ladies were present. The inter
ment was in city cemetery No. 3, the grave
being beside that Of the mother and in &C
cordance with the last wish expressed by til,
soldier as he marched away from home but 8
little over month ago.

A Card to the Voters.

To the Voters Of Hardin County:
Through the many calls and
urgent solicitations of my friends
in the county, and after duly con.
sidering the matter carefully, and
in its true light, have consented
to respond to the calls and solici.
tations by making my announce.
ment as a candidate before the
people for the office of Circuit
Court Clerk. My friends, as well
as myself, do not consider any.
thing morally, religiously or pc.
litically wrong in making this race
unde: the circumstances. Neither
do we consider any one bound to
support any man who may secure
a nomination through misrepre-
sentation or by unfair means.
l was placed before the people
as being man in good financial
circumstances, that l owned a big
fine mill, had plenty of money, and
did not need the Office. And Just
on the eve of the primary election
l was placed before the people as
being a sot drunkard, lay drunk
all the time, and was not a suitable
man to fill the office.
Now, in defence of myself, | de-
nounce all the above reports as
false, and without foundation, and
demand the proof.
AS to my reputation and sober
life, | refer the people who are
not personally acquainted with
me to the citizens of the county,
people who have known me all
through life, as TO whether these
reports be true or not.
Therefore, in becoming a candi-
date before the people for Circuit
Clerk solicit your votes and in
fiuence at the August election.
Trusting my claims will be duly
considered in the light of Justice
and right.
My opponent, Mr.. Freeman,
claims in his speeches throughout
the county that he did not put in
circulation these reports. If he
is innocent, let him prove it to the
people, otherwise l shall demand
the proof as to whether these re
ports now in circulation be trut
or not.
submit my claims with all thu
reports to the will of the people
and ask that an investigation b.
made as to the facts in the cause
and that Justice be given t.
whom Justice belongs.
Yours to serve,
j. Z. MADDOX.

From Judge E. D. Patterson.

"No lawyer who has been opposing coun-
sci in case in which he was an attorney,
will ever question either Holdings zeal or his
ability.
In his practice in the Circuit Court during
the time occupied the bench, was always
impressed with the clearness and force Of his
arguments, and was very often indebted to
him for new light thrown on the legal ques-
tons involved.
SO far as my acquaintance extends, there
are lew lawyers Of his age in the State who
are his equals in professional ability.
Being a man Of fine legal attainments, a
hard student, industrious, painstaking, con-
scientious, with the courage to discharge his
duty under all circumstances, and in addition
to all these, having that politeness and cour-
tesy which insures a patient hearing to the
humblest citizen, he has, in my judgment, the
qualities which would make him an ideal
Circuit Judge.
knowing Mr.. Holding as do, can cheer
fully and earnestly recommend him to the
people of this Circuit as in every way worthy
OF their confidence and support"
