DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.
frs. Ada A. Harmon Passes Peacefully
Away After a Protracted Sickness.

Mrs. Ada A. Harmon, wife of Dr.
Uriah Harmon, died at her home in
this place about 3 o'clock Monday
morning in the Goth year of her age.
She had been sick since last winter,
never having fully recovered from the
effects of grippe.
In November last DR.. and Mrs.
Harmon came to Henderson from
Gilbertsville, Otsego county, N. Y,
seeking warmer climate. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Odelia
Briggs, widowed sister of Mrs. Har-
mon. Impressed with the place and
people and the mild and healthful
climate of this latitude after few
months stay they decided to make
this their permanent home, and DR..
Harmon bought a house and lot upon
which he has since made extensive
mprovements. They had settled
down quietly to spend the evening of
life in their new made Southern home
when all is changed by the hand of
death. Now DR.. Harmon will break
up and return North, Mrs. Briggs
going to live with her brother. 1t is
all very sad and the sympathies OF
our people 90 out to them very
keenly.
The body of Mrs. Harmon was sent
to her former home for burial.
Mrs. Briggs has been quite sick
also and is now under the care of the
doctor. AS soon as he can straighten
up his affairs here and Mrs. Briggs is
able to stand the trip DR.. Harmon
will return to New York.
In speaking to us about the matter
DR.. Harmon expressed himself as very
grateful for the kind reception and
| considerate attentions he and his
family have received at the hands Of
the people of Henderson. They came
among us strangers but they found
friends he said and he would leave
such people with sincere regrets.

ISlT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

(Sylvan Valley News. Brevard. n. CO.
1t may be a question whether the edit
or OF newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any OF the various pro-
prietary medicins which food the market.
yet as a preventive OF suffering We feel it
a duty to say good word for Chamber
lain Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Rem
edy. We have known and used this
medicine in our family for twenty years
and have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose OF this remedy would
save hours OF suffering while physician
is awaited. We do not belevein depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if a bottle OF
Chamberlain S Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception OF an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many cases
the presence Off physician would not be
required. At Least this has been our ex-
perience during the past twenty years.

REGISTRAR THOMPSON BOUND
OVER

The case against Registrar Thomp-
son before United States Commits
sioner Beckerdite at Winston. was
concluded Friday afternoon. Thomp-
son being bound over TO the Federal
court in bond of $4,000, which was
| promptly given. The ssioner
pulled blank bond out of his pocket
which seemed to be evidence to by
| ISLANDERS that the decision was pre-
arranged.
| The overwhelming testimony
showed that the registrar had denied
no one the right of registration. but
only demanded proof of matters
about which there was serious doubt
in his mind. He so explained fully
to the court. The case against Reg
istrar Wall was continued until Tues
day, evidently for political effect.
Later upon the affidavit of Reg
| istrars Thompson and Wall. the four
| negroes who swore out the warrants
were arrested and remaining in the
| custody Of the sheriff for some time,
each of them succeeded in giving a
$500 justified bond for their appear
| ance at the next term of court.
Chairman Simmsns, who was in Win
ston at the time. said the arrest Of
these men by Federal officers was
clearly without the authority of law.
and is a palpable usurpation of
authority and that every man who
| swears out such warrant will be ar
rested.
Republicans are greatly discon-
| certed and many at them freely ad-
nit that Holton made the mistake Of
his life.

BROwNsVILLE.
There is probably no othef
town in the United States as
large as Brownsville and pos
sessing snch numerous natural
advantages which is as yet
without rail communication
with the outer world. With a
population Of nearly 70C0, sur
rounded by lands fully equal of
fertility to the famed valley in
the Nile and blessed with a
most salnbrious climate, this
place lacks only railroad
outlet to make it one Of the
most important cities in Texas.
And there is every reason why
a railfoad should be construct
ed to this point. Resldes the
city Of Brownsville itself, there
is located here the important
army post of Fort Brown,
which, with the constant chang
ing of troops and transpOrta-
ton OF baggage and supplies
would pay q large sum annually
to the support of a railraod.
The towns Of Point Isabel, San
la Maria Hidatgo. Rio Grande
City and homa would also re-
cefVe all of their freight over
such a line, while several i'm
postant up river towns and set
Elements on the Mexican side
of the river would likewise be-
come its supporters, as nearly
all freight for these points now
comes via steamer To- BRACES
Santiago and through Browns
vile whence it goes 10 its des-
tinalion either By river or by
carts. And, better than these,
Just opposite Brownsville lies
the important Mexican city of
Matamoros, with a population of
over 10000, which also receives
all of its freight Fig Browns
VILE. Here we have then a pop
ulatfun of upwards of twenty
thousand isolated through lack
of rail facilities, and ready to
pour rich contributions to-
wards the support of the
railroad which there is every
reason to believe will soon
reach here. Nor is this ell, for
it should be renem bered that
Brownsville lies directly in The
line of the shortest route con
Meeting the North with Mexico
City. 1t is the natural gateway
