the general impression here today.
Officials OF the Madero government
hardly tried to initiate the chief exec
utive's pretense of optimism. Some
OF them said openly that they consid-
cred the situation very grave.
The most alarming feature is that,
baing in possession of the port OF
Vera Cruz, the Diaz party will have
no trouble in bringing in arms and
ammunition, the lack of which has sc
seriously hampered the operations OF
the rebels in the north.
Many towns throughout Mexico to

Rockport, KY, Jan. 2s.-Aunt
Betsy Robertson, aged 100 years.
the Oldest and most remarkable NO
man in Western Kentucky. died at
the home Of her son, Mr.. Berry Rob
ertson, a few miles from this city,
Friday, OF troubles incident to old
age, superseded by heart failure.
Her death vas not unexpected, as
she had been very low for several
weeks. Mrs. Robertson was the
widow Of DR.. James Robertson, de-
ceased, and was one Of the best
known and most beloved women in
this section OF Ohio county. Aunt
Betsy" was a devout christian and
had read the Bible so much that it
was impossible for her to tell the
exact number OF times she had read
It through. Only a few weeks ago
Aunt Betsy was what you might
say, hale and hearty, for one Of her
age, and in an interview with a
newspaper reporter, said: my
friends all say must live a few
years longer, but am ready and
willing to go when the Lord calls
for me-" She was always ready
and willing to 60" which, TO our
mind, makes her the"Grand old wo-
man Of Ohio county" The writer
OF this article had the pleasure Of
visiting the dear old lady only a
month or so ago and he had hoped
to have the opportunity OF attend
ing her birthday celebration next
May. Aunt Betsy's" greatest sor-
row in all her eventful career was
occasioned by the death of her hus-
band thirty-fve years ago. For
over twenty-five years Mrs. Robert
son had been able 70 read without
glasses and her eyesight was re-
markedly good for one OF her age.
She could recall events that trans
pired in the Civil War wildly and
could talk in an interesting way OF
the time when friend met friend in
mortal combat. Aunt Betsy" is
survived by several children, one
daughter being 70 years old. The
| obsequies were conducted at the
PondRun church Sunday afternoon
after which her remains we're in
tered in the Pond Run cemetery.

AN AMUSING CASE.

Hoist By its own petard, That is
the condition Of the Hartford Re-
publican in its attitude Of trying 70
boost itself as the ONLY and BEST
advertising medium in this section
Of country. by printing an alleged
statement 10 this effect. and clearly
exposed by The Herald last week.
Il comes back with simply a Duny
denial, offering no proof whatever
TO substantiste its allegations that
Il printed the Greensboro Music
company's letter just as received.
The Republican says: why did
they (The Herald editors) not come
10 US in an honest manner and ask
TO see the letter. which would have
been shown them" Has the Re-
publican. under its present editor
ship. always been courteous and
obliging 10 The Herald?
II the Republican really has that
letter Of the music company, un-
changed as they (the music compa-
n.y. wrote It, showing 1t to be, orig
inally, just as they printed II, why
didn't they bring it down TO The
Herald ofice and clinch the argu-
ment? We would have admitted
our error and set them right in the
matter. Why not produce the orig
lnal letter in the presence of wit
nesses for both sides?
The Republican should not get
overheated this cold weather. It's
bad for the system" It's also
hard on the nerve" A little mat
ter like editorial mistakes on its
part should not disturb its jollity
and equanimity.
In the meantime We hope ouI
neighbor will excuse us If we prefer
TO take the side of Mr.. Will p. Dan
, iel, of the music company, who
wrote the letter to the Republican
and who in his letter to us said:
81 wish TO state that I am Of the
opinion that the postscript added to
your letter WAS OR SHOULD
HAVE BEEN the SAME as our let
ter to the Republican. l do not
know nor am | certain whether or
not the Republican saw fit to elabo-
rate on the construction OF my let
ter to them. but It appears to me
that the contents Of my postscript
in YOUR letter is about what l in
tended to state"

The prophecy-vhich vas father

Republican papers that the County
Unit bill would not be passed By the
Senate. has failed OF fulhllnent. as
that body passed the measure last
week. These same Republican hyD-
ocrites which were loud in their de-
nands for a County Unit bill before
the election, are now unwilling that
anything good should come out Of

only hope now is that the County
