WASHINGTON’S DEATH.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Riding over his farms on De- We’ the committee appointed
cember r2. 1799, Washington to report resolutions of tribute to
was overtaken by showers of rain the memory of our departed sis-
and sleet. The next day he suf- ter, Mrs. Hattie Whitfield, who
fered with a hoarse, sore throat, 1 passej away at Yoakum, Texas,
followed by an ague at night.
His old physician, Dr. Craix, was
summoned from Alexandria.
Two other physicians were called
in. At six o’clock the second
evening he said: “I feel myself
going, l thank you for your at-
tentions, but I pray you to take
no more trouble about me.” He
had previously said to Dr. Craix;
(T die hard, but I am not afraid
to go." About 10 o’clock he suc-
ceeded, with difficulty, in giving
some directions to Mr. Lear, his
secretary, about his luneral, and
on Mr. Lear’s assurance that he
was understood, he uttered his
last words: “It is well.” Half
an hour later he died with an in-
effable smile on his lips.

SHIPPING HOGS.
Recently Dudley Bennett bought
for the Houston Packing Co. a
car load of corn fed hogs. The
price paid was 3 cents per pound
live weight on the public scales
here. Four or five of our prom-
inent farmers furnished these
tyogs, and it goes to show that
they nqt only raise their own
meat bqt some for sale. The
§tqr is glqd to know that a mar-
ket is so near at hand and sug-
gests'that the people plant more
hogs and less cotton.—Cuero
Star.

the following:
Whereas, As it has pleased the
all wise ruler of the universe, to
remove from us our beloved sis-
ter, and called her from our
grove to the forest of the great
beyond from whence no traveler
has ever returned.
Whereas, As our beloved sister
has been a faithful and zealous
worker in our Circle, ever ready
to offer the Olive branch to ach-
ing hearts and her death has
cast a shadow of grief and
mourning over our circle that
will not soon be removed, but
we trust that our loss will be her
eternal gain. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the members
of the Woodmen’s Circle, Jasmine
Grove No. 30, extend to the
family our heartfelt sympathy in
this their hour of bereavement.
Resolved, that our charter, in
token and as tribute of respect,
be draped in mourning for thirty
days.
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to the
family, a copy spread on the min-
utes of our next meeting and a
copy published in The Yoakum
Daily Times and Herald.

Farmers should not bo dis-
ooqraged by the freeze nor should
they allow it to prejudice them
against other money crops than
ootton or in raising plenty of
food crops. It should rather
stimulate them to do these very
things. A tiue lot of feed has
saved thousand of dollars of stock
during the late freeze. No better
argument can be made for plenty
of feed.—Cuero Star,
The belief that the blood-weed
bug is not the boll -weevil con-
tinues to grow. We are pleased
to note this fact. The blood-
weed bug is abiut the only bug
that has been found to have sur-
vived the recent freeze, and if
that bug is not the boll-weevil
its existance need cause no
alarm.—Halletsville Herald.
When the cotton plant has
bloomed and fruited in the sunny
summer days the question as to
whether the late freeze destroyed
the boll weevil will be solved. If
there are then no weevils to feed
upon the bolls the conclusion
will be that the cold weather
killed them, whereas if they
should again appear in force it
would be concluded that the re-
port of iheir timeiy taking oft
could hardly he credited:—San
Antonio Express.
The Citizen regrets to note
that the small pox is extending
to different sections of the state.
It is remembered what a time we
had with the disease a year ago;
how all business was stagnated;
how nearly all communication
with our neighbor* was broken
off; wh,at Ail expense was entail-
ed upon the city and county, and
the numerous inconveniences its
prevalence engendered. Qj.auec-
ted as we i*y rail with Cali-
fornia and Mexico, the hot-beds
of the disease, we are liable to
have it in many parts pj the
state at almost winter month
unless an effective,intelligent and
vigorous ( enforcement of the
health laws is exercised tq pre-
vent it. —CMzen.
