A Good Man Gone to Rest.
Died—At Yoakum, May 16th.
1898, Mr. Nathan Burkett, in the
78th year of his age,
How suddenly these summons
come to many. This was true ot
our dear old friend. These sad
tidings came with a crushing force,
and we cannot yet realize that he
is one from among us. It be-
comes a melancholy pleasure to
offer this slight tribute to the
SHINES, TEX. WED., JUNE 8, 1898 [memory of this noble and worthy
■ —.......-: gentleman.
j He had gone on a visit from his
home in Moulton to his two sons
at the former place to spend a few
days, unaccompanied by his wife.
Well and lively, as Usual, he
retired at night. About 1 o’clock
he was taken with a congestive
chill. He aroused the household
and everything possible was done
bv loving hands and physicians
summoned, but he never rallied,
and at 8 a. m. his noble spirit,
without a word, left the tenement
ment of clay and put on the robe
of immortality. The weight of
seventy-eight winters and ceaseless
wear and tear on the tented field,
on the track of the bloody savage,
for he came here when this country
was a wilderness, had completely
exhausted all the powers of nature.
The silver cord was loosed, the
golden bowl broken.
This genuine old Texan’s cheek
never paled in the thickest of the
battle, and he was ever ready to do
or die for his country. He lived
amid the bloody and exciting
scenes of pioneer life without a
stain, and died without a groan.
Oh! what a model for his sons,
his relations and the youths of
Texas. With a nation of such
citizens as this our country would
eclipse all others and shine on with
ever increasing sj lendor until the
stars grow dim.
For more than fifty years a con-
sistent member of the .Missionary
Baptist church, he will be sadly

Ti-ie battleship Oregon is now at
Santiago de Cuba, and will find
something else to do besides burn-
ing coal.
It has been given out that the
policy of the government had
changed, but the peaceful blockade
still continues.

Cadiz reserve fleet has arrived in

Future ages will look back and
applaud the bravery of the act in
sinking the Merrimac in the harbor
of Santiago, and entrapping the
Spanish fleet.
It is eight days since the Spanish
fleet was positively located in
Santiago harbor, and now with
Schley and Sampson both on the
outside, the question naturally
arises,—“What are we going to do
about it?”
It is announced that if the 10th
congressional district wants to de-
feat Hawley the people outside of
Galveston will have to do it. That
means a great deal if read between
the lines. It means that Galveston
is for Galveston and that every one
of the congressional delegates, no
matter how vehemently he may
swear by Robson, will have a knife
up his sleeve and that he will use
it to cut Robson’s throat at the
opportune moment. Just mark
this !—Halletsville Herald.
climax of his noble life was his
Christian love. Amid all his
duties and responsibilities, pone
were neglected. His duty to his
neighbors, to the sick and afflicted,
always met with a ready response.
Charity was the crowning chaplet
of his Christian life. But his noble
life is ended, his work on earth is
done. The precious memories of
such a life still remain to the loved
ones left behind, and his virtues
the inspiration that leads them on
the shining path to the “Heavenly
Rest.”
He leaves an aged companion,
ten children, all heads of families,
and many grandchildren scattered
all over the state, who, with many
friends, deplore his death. His
remains were shipped from Yoa-
kum and were interred in the
family cemetery near his residence
in the presence of a large assembly
of weeping friends and relatives.
The la.-1 sad rites were tendered by
Bro. H, M, Rowland of Fnitonia.
We weep with those that weep.

The effect of war upon the busi-
ness of the country has hardly
been felt; business is no more de-
pressed in Texas than is usual at
this season of the year. Food-1
stuffs have been steadily advanc-
ing, and, with the possible excep-
tion of flour, will continue to
advance. Texas farmers should
bear this in mind, and govern
themselves accordingly. The Tex-
a - farmer who will have corn and
b icon to sell this fall will realize a
good price for them. Beef cattle
will also he in demand, and the
pastures of Texas will be largely
drawn on to supply it. Even after
the war ceases, Tex a- cattle will be
wanted to re-stock the depleted
herds of the Island of Cuba.
Those eyes are closed, life’s scene is
ended,
Earth can claim their sight no more,
Fold his hands upon his bosom,
For his work and toil are o’er.
Hark! he hears the chorus now,
Faithful servant “enter thou.”
Thou hast toiled from early dawn
To the very set of sun,
Tho’ thv feet are worn and weary,
It is over now, “well done.”
Heavy was the cross to bear,
Lay it down, there’s resting here.
