Personal.

Returning from the Presbyterian
General Assembly at Savannah, Ga,
Capt. Thomas Tate, of Pulaski, Va,
stopped over in Henderson a short
while last week to see Rev. J. A.
Mcclure and wife. Capt. Tate is a
cousin of Mrs. McClure's. A gentle
man OF the old school, of engaging
personality and delightful CONVEX
sationalist, it was pleasure to meet
him and the regret was that his stay
was of such short duration. Capt.
Tate was IL cadet at the Virginia
Military Institute at the time the late
Capt. w. B. Shaw was there and his
references to his deceased friend and
former comrade in arms were OF the
most friendly and appreciative char
acter. 1t was not Capt. Tate's priv
ilege to participate in the battle of
New Market with the cadet corps,
and as another tells it he has not
ceased to regret it to this day. He
was sick with typhoid feaver at the
time A twin brother, Mr.. Charles
Tate. (still living) was there along
with Shaw and others of the brave
youngfellows when the cadets covered
themselves with glory. Although he
was not in the New Market fight
Capt. Tate fought through the war
and was a gallant soldier, and In
time of peace since he has served his
State we'll. While he has not sought
political honors he has been a men,
Der of the State Senatein which body
he took an active and prominent
part and was Il leader in all matters
tending to promote the cause of ed
ucation and a valiant champion OF
every proposition to strengthen and
maintain the States public institu-
tiors. besides holding other positions
of trust and honor. Capt. Tate has for
a number of years been on the board
of visitors to the Virginia Military
Institute, and it was to 60 there be-
fore returning to his home that his
stay in Henderson was not longer.

Death Of Mrs. Viola Williams Bob

Friends OF Mrs. Viola Williams
Bobbitt will be panied to learn OF her
death which occurred at the home of
her brother, Rev. j. s. Williams. in
Asheville early Monday morning.
The body was brought to Vance
county fer burial arriving at kittrell
on train No. 3S Tuesday and was
carried direct to Plank Chapel where
interment was made. Rev G. W.
Startling, the pastor, assisted by
Rev. X. Nj. Andrews of Henderson,
conducted the service. There was a
large attendance at the funeral and
the floral tributes were profuse and
beautiful. Rev. J. S. Williams and
two sisters aud the bereaved young
husband came with the remains from
Asheville.

Deceased was lovely young wo-
man and her death will carry sor-
row to the hearts of many persons
here and elsewhere who knew her and
loved her. She formerly lived in Hen
derson, while her brother, Rev. J. S.
Williams, was pastor of the Methodist
Protestant church, and afterward,
and married Mr.. Patrick II. Bobbitt
of this county Her health failing,
she went to the mountains in hopes
of receiving benefit from the change
OF climate, but the only result was
possibly to prolong life-a cure could
not be effected
1t is all very sad that one so young
and joyous. so sweet and amiable. so
lovely and lovable; one SO beautiful
in character and SO helpful in loving
ministrtations, delighting to walk in
the ways of her Lord and Savior,
doing good to others, should be taken
from us. But God makes no mis-
takes, and His will not ours, be done.

Softly, and tenderly, Jesus hath called her
Home where the ransomed gathered

Out OF the shadow land, weary and change
full,
Out of the valley OF sorrow and night;
Into the rest of life everlasting,
Into the summer of endless delight.
Out of the shadow land. over lifes ocean,
Into the rapture and JOY of the Lord;
| Safe in the Fathers house welcomed by
angels.

Far silently peacefully, angels have born'
her,
Into the beautiful mansion above,
| There shall she rest from earth's trials for
ever,

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. d. Stainback and

where he travels from, and he con-
cluded to make the change for a year
at any rate. They will live at the
Hotel Condor where they will be ''at

About that Postoffice Building.

The Government got the site all
right, but there is no indication that
Henderson will get its public building
any time in the near future. Maybe
a start will be made on it after
awhile and the building completed
inside OF five years-from the time
the appropriation was made and the
site secured-or afterward-but We
will have to be shown before we be-
lieve it. Fact is the subject seems to
have fallen into innocuous desuetude,
as Mr.. Cleveland would haveexpress-
ed it, and our people have about for
gotten the matter while the authori-
ties at Washington appear to have
gone to sleep over it.

NEW YORK. March 2.-Young Cor
bett OF Denver, formerly feather
weight champion, signalized his re-
appearance in the ring here tonight by
defeating Johnny Mario of New York
in fast 10 round bout before the mem
bers Of the FaiTmont athletic club.
Although Corbett disappointed his
friends by failing to knock out his op-
ponent, he surprised them by his won
derful speed and agility. Corbett now
weighs fully 140 pounds.
Both men received a lot OF punish
ment. Corbett closing one of Marto's
eyes in The second round, and the lat
ter drawing blood from Corbetts nose
IN the third.
Both men adopted aggressive tactics
from the first, Mario being warned re-
peatedly. for using his head. In most
OF the rounds Corbett forced the fight
ing. It was only in the last minute
that Mario took the offensive. Even
then, however, Corbett cleverly held
him off. finishing the fight nearly as
fresh as at the beginning.

PICATO LOOMS AS

SfandstiH
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI


LOS ANGELES, March 2.-There is a
new lightweight star looming on the
horizon and his name is Frank Picato.
Although knocked down twice in the
first two rounds of his 10 round fight
with George Memsic at McCarey's to-
night, Picato overcome his nervousness
and fought hard. hitting Memsic fairly
off his feet, and earning a draw.
Picato has been fighting only year
and his showing against Memsic to-
night was a sensation. The pavilion
has not seen such a battle for years
as was witnessed tonight.
When Picato entered the ring he was
plainly nervous. Memsic went after
him furiously and in the first exchange
of blows fioored Picato with a swing
to the jaw Picato took the count of
eight and arose apparently unhurt.
This was repeated in. the second and
then Picato steadied and began to fight
Using jab with good effect he had
Memsic bleeding at the nose and his
naming rounds Picato took all the
punishment Memsic had to offer and
fought the husky Chicagoan to
standsti1l.
In the semiwindup Fred Corbett and
Kid Texas fought a 10 round draw.
