A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr.. Brock Is dignified old
gentleman, showing few signs of de-
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre-
served, and 1t shows that the date of his
birth was written ia years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had ia
years Of experience to draw from, would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given Of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Tines-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
a double column portrait, was given the
readers Of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December IL, 1898, and also the

Local CONTRACTORS BID TOO H Oh
Trustees are Anxious to Have
Work Started-at an Early
Date = Wiii be q Fine
Library Building.

The contract for building the new
library for Canton was given to r. II.
Evans and company, of GAINESVILLE,
Tuesday night by the library trustees,
after conference of several hours.
The bid Of the successful company
was $59,500, or within $500 of the
amount available.
The only other bid received was
that of Melbourne Brothers, of Can
ton, who bid s55.40O without the
plumbing and heating. w. d. Theo-
bold and company bid for the heat
ing and plumbing $500, so that it
was figured that these two bids could
not be combined and remain within
the appropriation or money available.
There was a disposition upon the
part OF number OF the trustees to
give the work to local contractors IL
possible, and there was some talk Of
rejecting the bids presented, but as
local contractors had neglected to bid
principally for the reason that there
was a lot of fancy work to he done
with which they were not familiar,
this idea was abandoned.
Evans and company are well known
contractors. They built the mansion
of f. e. Case on North Market street,
and also number of the buildings of
the Massillon state hospital.
The trustees were anxious to lei
the contract and get the work start
ed. The Carnegie gift of $4,000 was
rendered the city more than two years
ago, and later the amount was in
creased by the addition of $4,000,
making the amount available for
building purposes 100000 This
amount will be sufficient to carry out
the plans of Architect Tilden, and jt
will give Canton a fine library build
ing.
