A DESERVED TRIBUTE To One of Raleigh's Most Pro gressive Citizens The Goldsboro Argt says: At Battery Park, we Baw but did not have the pleasure of making his acquaintance Col. A. B. Andre wb, 2d Vice President of the Richmond & Danville railroad, that has done and is doing bo much for the development of Western North Carolina. We might have met Col. Andrews, for he has about him the air of a gentleman easy to approach, but diffidence is one of our many "failings" and, con sequently, we preferred to linger on the circumference of the circle of ac quaintances in converse with him and listen to what he had to say. He is a very handsome man, in the very prime of life, and has stamped upon his countenance the possession of in tellectual force. He is gifted with all the winning politeness of the ideal j is earnest and eloquent in pleading the cause of his profession. A rail road of the first ' magnitude, such as is the Richmond & Danville, requires almost every every talent in its ad vancement and in its educating influ encesits broadening scope of vision and progress, and Col. Andrews has brought to his high position, won by merit and approached by gradual ad vancement, many useful and brilliant accomplishments, and which, we are persuaded, he uses as well for the people as for the great and growing railroad of which he stands so near the very head. Personal Mention. Rev. N. S. Jones returned today to his home in Salisbury to be with his pastoral charge on Christmas. Hon. W. R. Cox is in the city. A Cold Wave Coming.

New Orleans Delta, 22. nd A romantic but tragic event occur red in this city recently, the circum stances relating to it being discover yesterday. A pine coffin and an unshrouded corpse was all that was to tell in mute but emphatic revelation as to a story of a sad life and its end. The victim was John Jemison. He lived what to many would be considered an un eventful life. However, without knowing it, he possessed a wealth greater than that attributed to the fabled Monte Cristo, and died so poor in ready cash as not to have enough to bury him decently. J. H. Summerlin, a prominent law yer of this city, Iwaa delving in some old, faded and musty letters which had belonged to the deceased yester day, when he discovered the secret that makes the heirs - of Jemison the owners of many million dollars worth or prop erty. The letter was written in 1836 by one of the heroes of the'Texas struggle. He was a Captain Jemison in the service of the command of General Sam Houston, when Texas was a Republic. In his epistle, which is written to a relative in Chi cago, he professes that he will not be able to return to the loved ones at home, but that he expects to meet the very fate that did befall, when sometime after he fell on the field, his heart pierced by a shot from the foe. The man who died here recently was his descendant in a direct line, and of bis identity there is not even the shadow of a doubt. The powers of attorney havo been received by the lawyer who made the discovery, and he ha filed them with the clerk of the county court. Today that portion of the property located in Chicago alone ia estimated at $40, 000,000, while the balance is equally valuable. SPECIAL NOTICES. House for Rent. Corner of North and Salisbury sts.
