BAD COUNTY ROADS.
Good Turnpikes the. Only Remedy and They
Must Be Built
Are there any readers of The Statesman
who have lately driven over the roads of
Travis county? Kspecially during and
since the lust rainy spell have thev been
terrible and many points along them have
been marked by a wagon either up to the
hubs in mud or with a broken wheel and
while no doubt the existing state of all'uirs
is fully relished by wheelwrights black-
smiths and wagon dealers it is very hard
on the farmer who in hauling his cotton to
town meets with an accident the remedy
lor winch will consume half theproceeds of
his load. It is safe to say that the taxation
necessary for the building and maintenance
of tu'npikes would not be hulf as costly to
the farmer as his wheelwright bills. While
the citizens have by keeping the market up
and with the Alliance yard drawn a great
aeal of the cotton trade to Austin still a
ji(Miuii;ia puniy hj UUJtfllUIIg lUWIISUU
account of dillicult approaches to this city.
The improvement to the land through
which a turnpike passes is so evident that
it isa wonder why every farmer through and
by whose estute one would possibly be
made is not already seizing the oppor-
tunity by the forelock and working to have
the first road built out to his "neck of the
woods." To be able to look at the country
and the crops without the ntcessity of con-
tinually on the lookout for spring breakers;
to have time in one's hands for watching
the fine cuttle and the well kept homes one
is impressed much more with the thrifti-
ness of the country is more struck
with the desirability of its homes than
when one examines Improvements
and cattle at the risk of horse tiesh and
vehicles. The Statesman hopes that the
good time the voters have spent bogging
and pulling and straining horses and
wagoi;s through muddy roads for the past
year will open their eyes to this crying
need. Travis county where it is not climb-
ing high ledges of limestone
through cedar breuks runs over a rich
black soil whose tenacious quality when
wet is something to be wondered at could
bv' cutting down these ledges and by
.using me limestone wiiicu is su picuumi
build pikes at one-half the cost of con-
structing them elsewhere.
Doubtless many a farmer has in the late
year of muddy roads thought of the desira-
bility of a road where mud would be impos-
sible and The Statesman sincerely hopes
that the idea is now working strong in the
majority of their minds which will cause
them 111 the future to be ableto easily move
their produce along our tine rolling roads
and have time to be reminded of that
which thev already know that we have
one of the finest counties in this finest of
states.
FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.

seminary opened its scholastic year

pleasant and successful one. The

Happily Wedded.
The Rev. Richard E. Lent and
Miss Ophelia Hensley of Turnersville
Tex. were united in marriage at that
place on the 5th inst. This was a
matter of universal surprise to Mr.
Lentz' large circle of friends in ' this
city. He attended the Austin school
of theology last session and in the
summer went to Turnersville to preach.
He returned vesterdav to continue his
studies. His blushing countenance
and the pathetic curve of his lips soon
cave his secret awav and the hand of
congratulation was heartily ex-
tended. Miss Hensley is deservingly
popular m her native city and
Mr. Lent is to be congratulated ot
his good fortune. The bright sparkle
of Mr. Lentz's eye bespeaks the hap-
piness derived from "love's young
dream' and his numerous friends re-
joice with him. The happy young
couple are domiciled at Stuart semi-
nary. Advice to Mothers.

"AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER."
Death of James H. Frazier an Inmate of the
Confederate Home.
One bv one the old veterans who
find a welcome asylum in the Confed-
erate Home are passing away and
this morning it is the sad duty of
The Statesman to record the death
of another of the inmates of that noble
institution which affords a home in-
deed for those who seek its shelter.
James M. Frazier was admitted
to the Home on August 27
I J'"p uuu vn jkli ii. ii mio Hit?
. at a very early hour yesterday morn
ing. He was m a quite feeble state
of health when he entered the Home
and during his last illness he was
tenderly cared for by a son together
with the officers of the institution.
He was frequently visited by Rev. E.
B. Chappell pastor of the Tenth
Street Methodist church and who of-
ficiated yesterday at. his burial. Dr.
Chappell spoke of the deceased as in-
! deed a good man.
j But little is known here of his early
or army life. The roster at the
I Home shows that he was born
in Mississippi on August
27 1837 (he entered the
Home on August 27 and came to
Texas in 1848. His occupation was
merchandizing. Ho enlisted in the
Confederate army in 18(51 serving in
Company A of Gillespie's regiment
Garland's brigade Churchhill's di-
vision and was taken prisoner at
"Arkansaw Post." He was modest in
his manners never caring to talk
about the war. He has been a wid-
ower some years and leaves be-
sides the son mentioned two or three
children to mourn his loss. It will be
gratifying to them to know that he
died not among strangers but there
were those around him to smooth his
pillow as the tide of his life flowed
out into the unkiiown sea of eternity.
His grave was beautifutlly decorated
with choice flowers kindly sent by
Mrs. Dr. Smoot. A goodly number of
members of the John B. Hood Camp
were present at the burial from among
whom the following were chosen as
pall bearers: Major W. M. Brown
Oapt. T. F. Pinckney Col. Wfll
Lambert Jos. G. Booth Isaac Stein
and D. F. Wright.
May he reast m peace.

preamble and resolutions:
Whereas Hie Great Commander
has removed from our midst our com
rade Col. Georgo Flournoy; therefore
Resolved That in the death of our
comrade the Hon. George Flournoy
of San Francisco this camp has lost a
worthy and zealous member the coun-
try an honored brave true tried and
chivalrous soldier; a patriot a states-
man an able and sagacious leader a
learned gifted and just lawyer; his
family a tender indulgent fond ami
loving husband and father. That by
his death the ties of comradeship are
severed from one who in his day gen-
erously helped to mako glorious the
character and qualities of tho south-
ern soldiery and chivalry to be treas-
ured in history and to be revered by
posterity. n
Resolved second That to this
stricken family iu this their hour of
deep sorrow we tender our heartfelt
sympathy and tenderest regards with
the hope of assurance that their loss
is his eternal gain and that on "tho
other side of the river" and "beneath
the shade of the trees" he is resting
and waiting to renew tho tender ties
temporarily severed by his absence
from thorn and from us. i
Resolved third. That the assembly
room of this camp be draped in mourn-
ing for thirty days in respect to the I
memory of our departed comrade and
that t.lin n.dint.nnt. nf find pnmn unroml i
theso resolutions upon a memorial
page of our records and furnish tho
family of our deceased comrade with
an engrossed copy of tho same and
that this camp now stand adjourned.
Gov. Lubbock in seconding and
moving the adoption of tho resolutions
spoke in te.iderest terms of the do-
ceased paying a beautiful tribute to
his memory.
The resolutions were adopted and
the camp adjourned.
