Gillett elsewhere we notice that two of his sons are coming up in the world. Ashley was in town on Saturday. He graduated with high honors at tbe State Normal school, was the voledio torian, and was the reoipient of the Peabody medal. Frank E., his brother, is county treasurer of Presidio county, and was mar. ried on the 8th inst. to Miss Humphries, of Marfa, a youug lady of wealth and position. Mr, Gregory has laid upon our table ayerage samples of apples and pears, gath ered from the orchard of Rev. W. E. Cope land near Kookdale. Milam county. They are well grown and of fine eppearanee, and Mr. G. thinks they could be duplicated in this part of the country. This ib good but not all: Mr. Basil Dailey, happening in and seeing the above fruit, sent ns three fine large peaches from bis grounds, which chime in admirably with the other samples. Next? We met Prof. Saunders, of Wimberly, a few days einoe, but recently returned from a trip to the North with horses. It ohanoed this time that he was in our native county, Wayne, Ind., and brought word and mes sages from several of our old inquiring friends which were most agreeable to us, eeming-lika a breete direct from home. We have had various similar experiences through other of our citizens here going up that way. We are always glad to hear of their visits North or vice vorsa. for we know their minds will thus be disabused of many erron eous ideas of the country and people, and mutual respect and friendship will be the result. Aunt Ann Barnes, oolored, died on Mon day last of paralysis, aged about 80 years. Her funeral took place on Tuesday. She was much superior to the ordinary type, poKsewMng great natural good muse, wit and humor. She was kiud aud faithful, and a devout christian. Her memory was a Htore bouse of interesting events, begmuiug with the visit of Gen. Lafayette to Rich mond, Va.. in 1824. when she was a young Kirl there, and which wa always a favorite topic with her. She waa our house keeper for a year at a dark hour, and then and sub Bemiently so endeared herself to our little ones, especially to the one who has gone to a biaher sphere, that her memory will ever be preciou to ns. We doubt not that she has gone to enjoy the rest which remains for the good and true of earth. Lawhon ifc Bass, Druggist.

He stated that those delegations wore opposed to the Hon. Geo. T. McGehee, as a candidate for the next legislature of Tex as from she fact that he owned stock in a national bank, believing that the national banking system was a publio evil and an enemy to the masses, and that it was not from any personal feeling that he opposed Mr, McGehee or asked that the miuority be allowed a voice in the nomiug of the dele gates to tbe coming representative conven tion. Capt. Ferg Kyle then addressed the con vention in opposition to the remarks made by Mr. Lightfoot rnd strongly defended Mr. McGehee's position in the lost legisla ture and stated that Mr. MoGebee had pub lished his views in the newspapers on the national banking system and that he would vote for a Coke, or Ireland or Terrell for U. S. Senator, who are all known to be bitterly opposed to this system. He is a democrat and stands fairly and squarely and honestly upon tb demooratio national platform as adopted by the St. Louis convention and was outspoken in his opposition to nations banks. Capt. Kyle further stated that Mr. MoGebee had made a brilliant record in tha last legislature and should be indorsed by this convention for re-nomination in part pay for the scan he now bear which he re ceived on battle field in defense of hi be loved Southland. Dr. D..M. Reagan also made a few re marks in favor of Hon. Geo. T. McGehee, showing that he owned $1,000 in bank stook and about $40,000 in farming opera tions. S. B. McBride, esq., mode the point of order, that the consideration of this matter was not in order at this time. Th chair man sustained tbe point of order.

Vonlandingham, which oconrred some time since, I mentioned some things, part of what he said ooucerning his treatmont at the poor farm and by his relatives; and some one, over the iuitials of 4T. .V. L seemed to be very indignant at me for said notice, and threatened to bold me'respousible for what I said. As I have not been called npon for the proof yet, and for the benefit of said party and others I will make a more com plete statement Two or three days before the death of Uncle Ben (as we called him) he came to my house, requesting Mrs. Crocker to take charge of his property in case anything should happen, And on be ing asked what he meant, he said ha would not stay at the poor house any longer, that he would out his throat from ear to ear first. We tried to persuade him from hi purpose, but he insisted on an inventory of hi effects being taken, and so Mrs. Crocker called in a witness to hear his statement and inven tory. I interrogated him on his condition ia view of diverting him from his suicidal intent. Said I : "Unci Ben don't none of your relatives come to see you and ad minister to your wants ? " "No," says he, "no one cares tor me, but when I bad a lit tle business stand and was making my liv ing, then I had friends, (or visitors as you might call them) plenty. I cannot live at the poor farm any longer; tho diet there does not agree with me, and I am dy ing by inches aud would rather kill myself at onoe." I said to Uncle Ben that it was wrong, he must not do it, and I would get him out of the poor hone. And Mrs. O. ays: "I will fix you up something to eat (which she afterward did) nntil yon get away." "No," says he, "you need not for I would not get it if you sent it" and many other complaints not neoessary to mention now. AH of which can bo verified at any time, and a for auy issue that may come np on my part, I think I can meet them, and will try to defend tbe memory of Unci Ben also. Now a I bear it aaid he was insane, and told lie befor he died, and ao on. Oh, bow brav to talk so of a dead man. No, be ia not her to defend himself, and in jaslioa to his memory I will aay I never beard of Unci Ben danng hi life time a being anything but aa boo eat, up right and rational man, and ao appeared whea he anode thee atatementa.

Debbih, Luxuriant Hair Can only ba preserved by keeping the scalp clean, cool, and free from dan draff, and tha body In a healthful condition. Tho great popularity of Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to the fact that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the growth of tho hair, provents it from falling out, and gives it that soft and silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty." Frederick Hardy, of Boxbury, Mass., a gentleman fifty yoars of age, was fast losing his hair, and what remoinod waa growing gray. After trying various dressings with no effect, he commenced the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. "It stopped tho falling out," he writes; "and, to my great surprise, convertod my white hair (without staining the scalp) to the same shade of brown It bad when I was 25 yoars of age." Ten Years Younger. Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston, writes: "For years, I was compelled to wear a dress cap to conceal a bald spot on the crown of my head j but now I gladly lay tho cap aside, for your Hair Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I could hardly trust my senses when I first found my hair growing j but thera It Is, and I am delighted. look ten yean younger." A similar result attended the use of Ayer's noir Vigor by Mrs. O. O. Pres cott, of Cbarlestown, Mass., Miss Besslo II. BeJloe, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J. J. Burton, of Bangor, Me., and numerous others. The hss of hair may be owing to Im purity of the blood or derangoment of the stomach and liver, In which case, a course of Ayer's Harsaparilla or of Ayer's Pills, fn connection with the Vigor, may lie necessary to give health anil tone to all the functions of th body.
