MORTUARY.
Prof. D. w. Nash.

ODtClai w ilN ANSho'
Cuero, Tex, Feb. 6.-Prof, D.
W, Nash, a distinguished educa-
tor of This section, died here at
11:3Q o'clock yesterday as the re-
suit Of fall on the ice about sew
en- weeks ago. For almost TWEEN
ty years he was at the head of the
schools of this city, coming here
from Lockhart, where he had
taught short while after coming
from Virginia.
After leaving the public schools
he has since taught an academy,
except for the four years of
Cleyeland's second term, when
he was postmaster at Cuero.
Thoroughness was the keynote
of his school work, and no matter
what other school q pupil had at
tended, when Prof. Nash took
hold of him and told him that his
Latin, English and mathematics
or other subjects would pass
muster at West Point. Annapolis
the University of Texas, Wander
bilt or any other college or uni
yersity italmostinv came
out that way,
South Texas is full of men Of
the highest mental and CONNER
cial attachments who owe their
grounding In school matters to
Prof. Nash. He was always a
great hand to extend any sort OF
help where he saw it needed and
where it was within his power,
Hence it was that, while always
in profitable employment, he ac-
cumulated very little property
on his own account, though leav.
ing large family in comfortable
circumstances and we'll equipped
to meet life's duties and respon'
sibilities. In politics and in 9th
err ways Prof. Nash had probably
helped and made as many public
men as'any other man in South
Texas, at the same time scrupul
ously stunning political prefer
ment himself. He was frequent
| ly mentioned for state senator
and other posts of honor, but he
always modestly declined them
His funeral took PLACID here at
O'Clock today, with the knights
of Pythias and Woodmen acting
as guards of honor,

terday. in commenting on the COM
parative growth of New Brunswick
and Perth Amboy, got to the root of
the matter when it said,
why has Perth Amboy so greatly
outdistanced New Brunswick? The
reason lies in the apathy of the New
Brunswick community, the fear of
the cost of necessary public improve
ments, the village spirit that kills
the growth of every community
where it exists. 1t has been we'll said
in New Brunswick that the first need
of the town is that of a few funerals"
Perth Amboy had her few funerals,
politically, six or sever years ago
when Mr.. Eckert and a few others
equally as conservative were retired
from public omce Today we are a
city of over $4,000 with our miles of
paved streets, great white way and
other features that go to make up a
ICdl CITY. w nO lS HOt plOGd VI Oul
achievement? Who would return to
the conservatism and false economi-
cal ideas of the olden days? New
Brunswick, too, is at last awakening,
but 1t Is too late to catch Perth
Amboy. And all our progress has
been along the safe and sure lines
that mean permanent building, form
ing a foundation for still further
growth. We do not believe anyone
wants to return to those old days of
hesitation and wait. Mr.. Eckert's
candidacy for mayor, however. sug-
gests them. He must declare himself
as to where he stands or present day
problems and wen then, with his
past record easily attained, 1t is
doubtful if he can secure the support
of any great portion of the voters of
the city.
