Camp Mabry, Austin,
Texas, May IS. There is
many a sad heart among the
members of the Houston
Light Guard and the Emmett
Rifles tonight and even the
enthusiasm attending the
preparations for the trip to
New Orleans does not tighten
the load.
The depressed spirits of
the young soldiers has been
brought about by the news
that no stop would be made
in Houston tomorrow night,
and that, therefore, the long
looked for opportunity to
bid adieu to friends and rela.
tives would not be afforded.
The men will not even be
allowed to leave the train,
and it is not likely that more
than fifteen or twenty min
utes will be spent at the
Grand Central depot.

Colonel Mabry regrets exceedingly that
be is compelled to enforce orders so strict
ly but he has reported that he will reach
New Orleans Friday morning at 10 o'clock
and in order to do so no time can be lost
Then, too, he is of the opinion that If
he allows his men to leave the cars and
miigle with their friends and partake OF
the hospitalities in store for them. he
would have a hard time in getting the
command in shape again and on the
whole, he considers it advisable TO adopt
the course outlined above, although he
realizes that 1t will work somewhat OF a
hardship on the young soldiers. When II
is considered that he has over n THOUSAND
men under him and that the matter of
getting such a large number together
again, once they are scattered the diff
cultles of his position will be appreciated.
Under the circumstances the lcacies
prepared by the ladies of Houston will
have to be passed into the cars to the men
and enjoyed on the trip.

DEATH OF MRS MIIhARD.

Mrs Mary M Willard, widow of Frank lin Willard, died at her home on Church street in this village at 2 o'clock Sunday evening. About three weeks previous to her death she was attacked with pneumonia. Sue passed through the crisis of that disease but the heart &C., tion was feeble and exhaustion was the secondary cause of death
 Mary M. Collar was born near the Baptist church at North Norfolk in February 1923. She was a sister of Amos Collar, now living at Norfolk, ,snd Mrs Almiris Hawley, now living at Muscatine, Iowa. She was half sister of Daniel R. Spaulding, now living at Canaan. Fifty three years ago last January, Mary M. Collar was married to Franklin Willard. About AZ years ago Mir and Mrs Willard came to Ca naan to reside Mir Willard died here in Canaan in June 1856. Mrs Willard, with the exception of several years, i'm mediately subsequent to the death of her husband, passed the remainder of her life in Canaan, and she enjoyed the friendship and esteem of all her &C., quaintances. Her husband was an un- cle of Messrs Sherwood and Wallace Willard of South Canaan.
 Mrs Willard united with the Baptist Church at North Norfolk in her early life, and always retained her church membership there. She considered that society her church home, although as matter of fact scarcely any of the early mem bers of that church are now living, consequently for some years that church as Baptist denomination has not been very strong or active orgaEi- zation. While her health permitted Mrs Willard was regular attendant at the Methodist church in Canaan.
 Mrs Willard was an excellent nurse and for many years was employed in that capacity in Canaan and neighbor. ing towns Her presence in the sick room brought sunshine hope aud inspira- tion, notwithstanding her own life had been clouded by bereavement in the death of her husband, the death of her son Frank in 1857, the death of her son John in 1868, and the death of her son in-law, Austin Adams, in 1878. Be sides the relations already mentioned, Mrs Willard is survived by her daugh- ter, Mrs Austin Adams; her grandson, E. w. Adams; her granddaughter, Miss Frankie Adams; and two great-grand- children, Regina and John Adams.
 A long and useful life has closed, but the memory of such an exemplary life will long remain an inspiration to all who knew Mrs Willard. The funeral of Mrs Willard was largely attended at the Methodist church yesterday at l l a. m. Many relatives, old friends and neighbors were present notwithstand. Ing the rain. The Rev B. Seeholzer conducted the services, and made very appropriate and comforting remarks. The choir sang "Thy Will be Done'' and Good Night" The interment was in the lower cemetery. The bear ers were; J. s New. D. l.. Pierce, J. ". Peet. H. B. Stevens, J. J. Bailey, J. A. Underwood.
