SUPERINTENDENT RESIGNS.
Thomas Howorth Sewers Connection
With the Cotton Mill.

Mr.. Thomas Howorth, who has
been superintendent of the WaXaha-
chic cotton mill for the past nine
years, has resigned that position
and departed Wednesday for his old
home in Canada. Mr.. Howorth came
to Waxahachie from Nova Scotia to
accept the superintendency of the
cotton mill and was in charge of the
plant when the first run was made.
The relations of Mr.. Howorth with
the people who worked under him
were of the most pleasant kind.
Tuesday evening when the operatives
called on Mr.. Howorth for a final
parting they presented him with a
handsome gold ring, containing a
Masonic emblem.
Mr.. Howorth has been succeeded
by his son, Willie Howorth, who has
also been connected with the mill
since its establishment.
MI. Howorth will visit relatives
and friends in Rochester and Boston,
and will then proceed to Canada,
where he will probably engage in
some kind of business.
