Joseph Webb. 7s years Of age, one
Of the oldest IL not the oldest ma
tive of Brownsville. will retire from
public life as soon as his present
term as justice of the peace Of pre-
cinct No. !. place ?. is completed.
This IL the second time Mr.. Webb

1T was a mistake" Judge Webb
said. Il had already served in =
public capacity over fifty years, a.us
u was rather hard 10 separate from
the old duties and not TO come into
daily contact with the old friends.
This time | will retire permanently"
Hundreds Of Judge Webb's friends
nailed his return to the court house
IN January. but the -. proved too
much for the dean Of the Cameron
county court house. He is at his
desk each day: his official affairs
are conducted with the same prompt
ness and efficiency as in former
years when he had the reputation
Of being the most efficient county
clerk In Texas. but the daily duties
are too arduous for a man Of his
years.
Mr.. Webb was born in 1850 in the
house now occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
r. l.. Cain and their sister. Mrs.
Blanche r.. Locw, on Washington
street between Thirteenth and Four
teenth. the residence which in the
'Fos was for some time the home Of
General Porfirio Diaz. who launch
ed his successful revolution from
Brownsville and for a third of a
century was dictator Of Mexico.
In 1874 Mr.. Webb was elected on
the board Of city aldermen and ap-
pointed city treasurer, and was re-
elected as treasurer for five con
secutive terms. retiring in 1885 70
accept a position with the customs
service. m 1855 he was elected city
marshal. and in 1890 resigned and
was elected county clerk. holding
this position 81 consecutive years.
In 1924 he retired and was sue
ceeded BY H. u. Sesgo. In January
of this year Mr.. Webb was appointed
justice IF the peace to succeed the
late Judge George Brown and is now
serving In that capacity.

1 every violation is an offense against
 Him. It matters not that the guilty
 shove aside justice, that their crimes
 be unnoticed. No one can deceive God. He is aware of every act of disobedience and revolt and the con- science of man tells him that he will be punished for his misdeeds There fore with religion all law is observed: i:
