Sim E. Weaver, an old, highly
esteemed and respected citizen of
this connty, who ended bis life at
the residence of a Mr. Everett, in
Illinois Bend, on Wednesday
night last and who wrote the let-
ters published below, was born In
Cherokee county, Georgia, Novem-
ber 21, 1847, was married to Ada
line Worley, who survives him,
August 9, 1866. By his marriage
was barn three children who, with
this mother, with crushed hearts,
mourn his untimely death. His
sainted mother, now 73 years of
age, lives at Marysville, in this
county, and with unspeakable
agrny followed her darling boy to
last resting place. In the hoar of
our southland's greatest need for
brave and patriotic men to defend
it against an invading foe, though
only 14 years of age, he gave his
services to the confederate gov-
ernment and as a soldier was true
and fearless. In January, 1867,
he came to Texas, where he has
since lived without one stain of
dishonor upon his name or
that of his family. In all matters
of a public character his position
was well known, he could not be
moved from what he believed to
l>e right. In politics he was a
faithful and true democrat; was
well posted in matters of state as
well as general literature, and was
able to defend his views with any
that might differ with him. He
was not a member of any church,
but had great respect for religion.
He was a prominent Mason and
by that honored order with sol-
emn ceremonies was lai 1 to rest.
He had great warmth for his
friends and was ever ready with a
strong arm and a big heart to
hasten to their relief or comfort in
♦lie hour of need. He idolized his
home because in it was his de-
voted wife and children to do him
reverence and make glad his
tieait. Peace to his ashes, and
may our blessed Master watch
over his loved ones until that day
when they shall be called to enter
into that haven of rest eternal in
the heavens.

Mr. J. J. Moon, Gainesville,
Texas.
IX*ar Sir and Tried Friend—I
owe you a good sum of money for
which you have my note secured
>y mortgage and deed to a suffi-
ient amount of my land to be
safe. The land is rented for five
years for five hundred dollars a
year and the notes are turned over
to you to be applied on the debt
when paid. I also owe a sum of
money at the Red River National
(tank two notes, secured by A. C.
able that I cannot beat to see him,
thongh every trusting feature of
his face is engraved on my heart.
Now I have done no wrong except
what is here named. I am stained
with no dishonor, but I hope that
you will do this for my dear wife
and children when I could not ask
yon to do so for me.
Yes, there is another note at
Red River bank, jointly between
me and dear Lonie. I want that
included and her relieved. When
this is all accomplished I want
dear Lester to have the land that
I deeded to him for he has been a
dear, faithful boy, and I know my
dear wife will reward dear Lonie
for her faithful love of ns all, and
dear little Mattie, I want her to
have her full share as she has of
her father's love.
Sim Weaver.
to his wife.
Dear Adaline: We have lived
and loved and labored together
for more than thirty years. We
have fought a long fight, some-
times against want, and for a
quarter of a century against peace
destroying debt to save our honor
and our home, and my mistakes
have made our hardships and
your love and care has made our
sunshine and our happiness. This
act is not caused by crime or dis-
honor, for you know that I am
free from both. Now, dear heart,
forgive the evil that I have caused
yon. Go and see dear little Mat-
tie and take her in your arms for
me.
Surely our friends will let dear
Louie have the money to have her
lip cured, and my last wish is
that she have it done. I wish
Lester and Alice a long and happy
life, for they are both as pure as
pearl.
I want Mattie to have Mark,
the young brown horse.

Mr. Everett—Please send to
the Hulen & Morter ranch alter
my boy. Take my body in my
own wagon with team to Wheeler
Worley's, and send Dr. Ben Dud-
ley at Marysville after my wife
and danghter at Gainesville. My
dear boy Is on the Hulen & Mor-
ter ranch 4 miles south of Wool-
sey, 15 northwest from Cornish.
Cross the river at Courtney—mud
at Roff crossing—and go by Orr.
If Holder is any part of a man he
will pay the full value of that
poor, dear boy's work. Please
give these papers to Wheeler
Worley and tell my poor dear boy
to stay out of debt.
I, J. M. Wright, certify that the
i letters above are the only comma-
; cations found on the body of Sim
; E. Weaver, and that said letters
are in full, not a woru written by
him having been omitted.

Attempted Suicide.
John Blackburn took a dose of
morphino last nignt with suicidal
intent, but the never-failing stom-
ach pump removed the stuff and
at last accounts he was not dead.
Blackburn swallowed the poison
down town and after bidding his
friends good bye went to his home
to die.
Nothing is more pleasant to the
store keeper than to see his place
of business crowded daily with
customers who desire to avail
themselves of the attractive in-
ducements being offered. What
better compliment could be paid
the dealer, who by honorable ef
forts and serviceable wares, seeks
to elevate the art of merchandis-
ing and finds his store crowded as
a result. A nineteenth century
method is appreciated by the
public. Our store bas been
crowded daily since the arrival of
new spring goods. We intend to
keep up tnis condition of af-
fairs until the season has gone.
That Is, we'll provide the features
and know the public will do the
rest. You'll find articles of inter-
est in our large ad. "There are
others" besides those mentioned.

clear title to my dear wife and
darling children, whom I have so
often wronged by mistakes and
short-sighted business transac-
tions. I have made many debts
and failed to pay some of them,
but always because I was unable
and not because I was dishonest.
I am now in despair on account of
the foolish transaction with Joe
Holder, made in a fit of despair
because I saw no way of getting
the money to pay the note for the
place, in which transaction I gave
up all ray dear boy's labor without
compensation or his knowledge or
consent, and I feel that his disap
pointment and surprise will be so
great and the wrong so nnreason-
