A Moat Remarkable Man.
One of the most remarkable men
in the vicinity.of Perryville, Ky., is
Rev. Wm. May, who resides on a
fatlm which he purchased over thirty
rears ago. He is now nearing his
37th birthday and is yet hale and
learty. He has twelve living chil-
irem, forty-eight grandchildren and
-eventeen great-grandchildren. He
las been proclaiming the gospel ac-
ording to the Methodist doctrine
or fifty years, and has never accept-
d one farthing for his services,
ather prefering that kind of trea-
ure that “moth nor rust doth not
orrupt, nor thieves break through
nd steal.’’ During bis ministerial
areer he; has married over 2100
ouples, and has ventured on the
matrimonial wave himself three
mes. He is also somewhat of a
eterinary surgeon, having in his
me administered medical aid to
ver 25,000 animals, with a com-
aratively small loss. He has never
.een on board a train, and he in-
variably travels on horseback, hav-
ig once made a trip from Missouri
n horseback. The route which he
ame covered over 600 miles, and
e rode it in sixteen days.
This grand old gentleman is a
emocrat of the strictest faith, and is
a ardent admirer of Mr. Bryan.

EXPANSION.
That is the Word Which Expresses the
Prosperity of die Hibbard Bros.
We bear a great deal these days
about expansion. Expansion means
spreading out, growing, marching
to the front. The Hibbard Bros,
are the best illustration of expansion
that we know of in Denison.
Few people realize the magnitude
of their business transactions lor a 1
period of twelve months. They!
have done $500,000 worth of busi-
ness in the past year. At the first'
thought this seems almost doubtful,
but it is a fact, nevertheless. They ;
have five men on the road who i
cover more territory than any whole-
sale establishment in North Texas.
Every nook antj corner of the In-
dian Territory pay business tribute
to this bouse, and every town, city
and crossroad in North, East and
West Texas are regular customers.
Thkir city retail trade is enormous.
The growth of this bouse has no
parallel in the state, and wbat is
more wonderful, is the fact that the
wholesale feature of the bouse is not
yet quite twelve years old. The
members of the firm, Fred and

vJas. Boyd.
Early, bright, transient, chaste as the
morning dew she was exhaled and went
to heaven.
At the young age of twenty-three years
beautiful and gitted, Bertha S. Hitch-
cock's soul has gone among the stars.
Her sweet spirit returned to the God who
gave it on Sunday Nov. 20*.b, at 2:30 a.
m , leaving the bright and fragrant bloom
of vouhg womanhood behind. She was
so pure, so good, charitable and noble in
every Christian Walk and virtue, that all
relatives and friends had watched thi* bud
grow into a perfect type of loviiness
and grace that none of,the large number
who paid the last sad ritea to her gemory
lett without a tear upon their cheek*.
In life we loved her in death we mourn
her.
She needs no slab of Parian marble
With it* white and ghostly head,
To tell the wanderers in the valley
The virtue*of the dead;
Let the lily be her tombstone,
And dewdropa, pure and bright,
The epitaph the angels write
In the stillness ot the night.

Mrs. J. 0. Taylor Dead.
The Gazetteer received a letter from
St. Louis Tuesday from John G. Taylor
which read, “My good wife died at
8 o’clock this a. m.. Will you kindly
put notice in your valuable paper.”
The deceased was a resident of Denison
in pioneer day* and was intimately
known and associated with our leading
people. Mr*. Taylor’* death will be aad
news to those who recollect and loved
her *0 well. She wa* always prominent
in good works and identified to a large
extent with church and charity work.
For a number of year* Mr*. Taylor wa*
the presiding hostess at the Alamo hotel;

Eddy In her death a memorable link
has dropped from the chain which binds

her.

neer townsman, Col. J. B. Hewitt, which

L EPP8TEIH A SOB.
Twenty six years ago Mr. L.
Eppstein landed in Denison, then a
town of tents and cottonwood ahan
ties. To day he is the head of a
wholesale liquor house that did a
business the past year ot a little over
$200,000. In 1887 Mr. Eppstein
took into partnership with him his
son, Milton, and now their business
covers Texas as far as the gulf on
the south and the Mexican border on
the west. Milton is a shrewd bus-
iness young man and the active
member of the firm. His business
capacity united with the long expe-
rience and judgment ot his father
has largely increased the trade of
the house, until it stands in the front
rank of the wholesale liauor houses
of North Texas. The Gasettkke
is pleased to chronicle the fact that
the senior though getting along an
years is hale and hearty, with every
indication of another quarter of a
century of usefulness before him.
