MAJOR OHAs. S. HENEGAN
An Old and Honored Veteran Crosses
3. Oyer the River to Rest Under the
Shade Of the Trees.

i
The sad news was brought early
yesterday morning to town that Mai.
Chas. S. Hcnegan WAS no more
His death was rather sudden and
thought to be heart failure. Ho
had been complaining for several
days and was under treatment, but
none thought him seriously i'll.
He was the last Of a noted and
popular family and was near 68
years of ago. Everybody knew
him, everybody liked him. He was
member of Benncttaville Presby-
terian church and held the office Of
Ruling Elder. He was an old veter-
an and q member Of Camp Henegan,
which was named after him.
AS q citizen he filled his place; as
q neighbor he was generous and
kind to all; rs patriot and soldier
he was true and faithful, and with
all q christian gentleman worthy of
emulation.
Truly may it be said ofhim:
'.IIe lived for those that loved him.
For the God who reigned above him,
And tho good that he could do"
And when the summons came to
lay his armor by, he was ready to
"cross over the river for rest under
the shade Of tho trees.

From Medlin SPRINGS.

Mr.. Editor:-Your credulity
seems to have been very consider
ably imposed upon by some one
whose name you do not give, and
by whom you have been innocently
led to transgress against the real
facts in the case in regard to my
loss by fire.
You publish an account Of it as
though you were in possession of
the facts. Where Or how you OBJ
tanned your information Of a $500
loss "fnlly covered by insurance" I"
| have no idea, and therefore I am
not prepared to even indulge in
private speculation as to the philos-
ophy of such a "report." NY loss
is estimated by intelligent business
men OF this section Mt from $1,000
to $1,000 Oh the house alone, which
would put the loss of the building
and contents at from $500 to S17-
90.
The house was built four or FIVE
years ago. It was about 70 long,
containing seven rooms, with a mod
ern piazza in front and passage
through the main building about
ten feet wide. 1t was built of good
material well furnished and painted.

POSTMASTER RESIGNS.
Said to Be Oldest in Service in the
Country.


Bloomington, ILL.,, Nov. Zone who
is believed to be the oldest postmaster
in the United States has Just resigned.
Frank ]. Schneider of Cruger, Wood
ford county, has decided that forty
three wears continuous service for
Uncle Sam is enough, and has for
warded his resignation to the post
master general. He was appointed in
1858 by Postmaster General Holt dur
ing President Buchanans administra-
ton. He has served under thirteen
Presidents, but has never been dis
turbed by any political upheavals dur
ing the past forty years. He finds
that the intirmities of age, IA, are
bearing too heavily upon him, and he
decided to give younger man a
chance to draw the $500 annual sal
airy that the Cruger office pays.
Schneider has memory that is as
clear as a diamond, and there is lit
tie history in that section which he
cannot recall. He is the proverbial
oldest inhabintant" for the vicinity,
and his statements about matter of
early history are always acceded with
out question. Mr.. Schneider has but
one complaint to make about the pos
tai department. He says that in the
big offices some men draw too much
money, and in the small offices some
men draw too little" The Cruger of,
flee paid but few dollars commits
sion per month in the early days, and
since then the increase has not been
very rapid.
