IT'S IN Ill WIND, ETC.

While the cold weather which has
been experienced during the past two
days may appear most i'll timed to
especially to truck growers
who may have lost some of their
tender truck in the fields, and to the
land man who does not like to show
the snOwdiggers" the country
while there are some evidences of
cold weather to be seen-yet the old
proverb, It's an i'll wind that blows
nobody good,' holds good in this in
stance. 1t has now been six or seven
years, at least. since the Lower Rio
Grande Valley has experienced a
freeze of any severity whatever. For
the past three winters, there has been
almost no cold weather to speak of,
and about the only ice to be seen
during the entire winter at Browns
vile during that time was the output
of our local ice factory Yet, every
winter the older citizens here have
felt that some time during January
or February of these years tire might
be a light freeze. and indeed, hoped
10 see one. The rare freezes occur
ring, instead of being dreaded by the
old timer" are actually welcomed.
1t takes a freeze once in a while to
kill insect pests which injure the
crops, unless checked, and also to
kill mosquitoes, an in fact, to put
the entire country into a fine and
healthful condition. So, although
the present little cold spell may bite a
few tender garden plants. and make
our visitors shiver little, yet it is
undoubtedly a blessing. 1t is to be
regretted, it is true. that the weather
clerk did not date this cold wave a
little later-at least until after the
mid-winter convention was over.
However, since it cannot be helped,
We can only make the best of it and
ask our visitors ito congratulate us
upon the benefits that will result Ill
timately to the entire Valley from
this breath of cool air, (which is, after
all, the natural result of the terrible
blizzard which has been raging over
the North recently.

DEATH OF A VISITOR.
Young Man Who Came South Recent
ly for Health Passes Away.

Died, in this city, this morning at
ten O'Clock, Usher Campbell of Mar
tinsville. Ind, aged % years. The
cause of his death was pulmonary
trouble, from which Mr.. Campbell
had been a sufferer for some time
before coming to Brownsville. He
came here about three weeks ago, in
the hope that the climate might bene-
fit him. but Z his malady had pro
crossed too far for him to recover.
His devoted mother accompanied him
here and was with fiim during the
last days, and all that was possible
was done to alleviate his sufferings.
Mr.. Campbell leaves, besides his
mother, a sister. Mrs. Keener, who is
employed as stenographer by the firm
of E. F. Rowson and Company of this
city. Much sympathy is felt for the
sorrow-stricken family, who aIe thus
afflicted amid strangers and so far
away from their home.
The remains will be taken back to
Martinsville for interment.

mas dinner at which about two hun
dred poor persons were served. the

This was devoted to he purchase of
the blankets which were distributed
yesterday. NJ. Sahualla, the we'll
known merchant, very kindly sold
these blankets to the ladies at cost,
which enabled them to buy as many
as they did. While these are mere
fy cheap blankets, they are quite
good for the price, and will help 5he
grateful recipients to sleep comfort
ably during this unusually cold
weather. Some of these are quite
aged and infirm, and would undoubt-
eddy have suffered severely last night
had it not been for this gracious
bounty.
The Mason transfer company did
its part towards this charitable en-
terprise by very graciously furnish
ing a carriage free for the ladies who
distributed the blankts.

the city salesman. "His name is

John Doe.s Moreover, he has a sister
Jane. I wonder what kind of joke
their parents were trying to perpe-
trate on those helpless mortals? Doe

a woman, but Mrs. Fisher does not
fear to attempt the trip.
Mrs. Fisher says the trip will be
purely a pleasure tour" In spite Of
the natural obstacles that must be
overcome. She believes the trip to be
feasible and will make careful notes
regarding the road conditions and
route, so that other women who de-
sire to make the same journey may
profit by her experience.
The only extra equipment on her
car will be thirty-two gallon gaso-
line and Oil tank. This tank will have
sufficient capacity to supply fuel and
lubricating for 400 mile journey on
one filling. Mrs. Fishers car is forty
horsepower four passenger stock road

ism Of the car, such Us the motor and
transmission, has not been REINFORCED
or specially built in any manner. The
wheels are Of maximum diameter. SO
as to give the greatest amount of
clearance.
A series Of luggage racks has been
attached to the tonneau to carry the
camping outfit that will be necessary.
There will be tent, cooking utensils,
a stove, rifles, revolvers and ammuni-
ton. Mrs. Fisher is an expert shot
with the rife, and she intends to do
some big game hunting If the opportu-
nifty presents itself.
There will be four persons in the
party-Mrs. Fisher, Harold Fisher
Brooks, relative, who acts as Mrs.
Fishers secretary: maid and man.
servant The manservant, Albert, will
go in the capacity of mechanician and
chef. He will also take his turn at
driving the car, alternating with Mr..
Brooks. Mrs. Fisher will ride in the
tonneau with her maid during most OF
the journey.
Mrs. Fisher has made novel ar.
rangement with one of the large ex'
press companies which will enable her
to receive fresh supplies of clothing
ETC.. during the journey. The company
has contracted to transport a maid
and baggage from point to point by
boat or railroad anywhere on the globe
