A wave of sadness swept over (he
city Friday morning when it was an-
nounced that A. G. Chandler, for
twenty- Ave yearn one of McKlnney's
f moat prominent merchants, respect-
ed, christian citizen and beloved
friend and neighbor, had passed
away. For four years tiin health had
beep in a declining stale due to
stomach ailment, but the constant
cheerfulness ami hopefulness of the
patient sufferer inspired the hope in
his multitude of friends that health
and strength would eventually return
to him and many more years yet be
added to his useful career. But long
suffering and disease I •! made fatal
Inroads; the brittle read of life
snapped suddenly at i •>: 15 o'clock
Friday morning and spirit of A. <5.
Chandler fled in calmness and per-
fect peace to the realm where sorrow,
pain and parting are unknown.
— The deceased was born Sept. 21.
1857, on the old homestead four
miles west of McKinney where bis
aged father still resides. When a
youth he commenced clerking in the
grocery store of a Mr. Welch In Mc-
Kinney, soon accepting a position as
salesman in the dry i^iods establish-
ment of M. Aron & Co.. later becom-
ing a partner in the firm of Chandler,
Stiff & Co., successors to Aron, from
which firm he retired to launch the
exclusive ladles' furnishing establish-
ment of Chandler &■ Armstrong, suc-
ceeding two years later to the sob-
ownership of the same. As a lust re-
sort to regain health. Mr. Chandler
was closing out this latter business
altogether when cut down by the
grim messenger of death. For twen-
ty-five years, be had engaged In busi-
ness within twenty steps of ills pres-
ent store. No merchant ever enjoy-
ed a larger measure of public conll-
dence and respect than he. Cour-
teous, always cheerful,and buoyant,
perfectly frank with Customers, the
soul of honor and integrity- he nat-
urally succeeded In business and
drew about him a circle of friendship
extending to the remotest parts <>t'
the county and embracing alike all
c lasses and conditions of life who
will sincerely mourn his untimely de-
mise. On May JiO, I.ss:;. Mr. Chan-
dler married Miss Laura Harnett
they and the late Judpe W. T. Bev-
erly, his lifelong friend, and Miss
Bettle Fltzhugh. being married at
the residence of Wms. Warden by
Rev. J. T. Thomas, then pastor of the
Methodist church here. The death of
Mrs. Chandler occurred in 1N5)S. On
July 17, 1901, be was again happily
married to Miss Willette Love,
daughter of Capt. W. H. Love of this
city, with whom he lived most happi-
ly and devotedly in their beautiful,
but now saddened cottage home on
the •porner of Foole and Coleman
streets. In young manhood, Mr.
Chandler professed religion and join-
ed the Methodist church, he being at
the time of his death and for years
previously, a member of the official
Board of Stewards of that church. He
was also an honored member of the
1. 0. O. F. fraternity. Besides the
grief-stricken widow —as before staf-
fed, his old father, now In his X7th
year, and brother, I. Tog Chandler,
and two sisters Mrs. Nettie Cole-
man of this city and Miss Kate
Chandler who is living at home and
caring for her father, ills mother
died in September 1NN4. The funeral
services took place at Methodist
church at 2;:io Saturday after-
noon and were conducted by his
pastor. Rev. J. B. Golier, assisted by
Rev. E. H. Casey, of Greenville,
who officiated at his second marriage,
and by his presiding elder, Rev. .1, F.
Fierce of this city. To the bereaved
ones, we join with our entire city In
offering slncerest sympathy. We had
long enjoyed Intimate business deal-
ings with him and we can truthfully
add this personal testimonial that no
more upright, honest, perfect char-
acter, from any standpoint, ever
came within the range of our busi-
ness experience, and his sad death
in the noonday of life is a personal
shock and sorrow to ns. as well as to
hosts of other friends throughout our
town and county.

Austin, Tex.. Feb. 22. State
Health Officer Brumby, in answer to
a question, said yesterday that the
action of Judge Pearson of the court
in Collin count) In holding that the
vital statistics act is defective, will
not in any way affect the proposed
prosecutions for the violations -if
thin law of the Twenty-Seventh leg-
islature.
Dr. Brumby received a letter
from County Attorney George P.
Brown of Collin county, advising iiiin
of the action of the judge. The case
came up before Judge Pearson on
an application for a writ of habeas
corpus by a local physician at Mc-
Kinney who had been arrested
charged with the violation of the I
law. He was •barged by the!
court, the court holding that the
law was too uncertain in its terms to
be enforced.
This action will in no way affect I
the campaign inaugurated in the
stale by State Health Officer Brum-
by for the enforcement of this law,
not even as far as Collin county is
concerned.

Mrs. Bessie Buck, wife of Avner E.

ing at their home on West Howell
street, after an Illness of only a
week's duration. She was taken sick
Feb. 1.1th with a slight fevev and
In a few days symptoms of pneumo-
nia. followed by a condition that has
been , somewhat of a puzzle to plvrsi-
Hans who were at different times
during the latter part of her Illness
called in consultation, some lining of >
the opinion that It was a severe at-'
tack of measles, while others diag-
nosed it as small pox. The fear of
exposure to a contagious disease lias
naturally prevented neighbors and
friends from attending and assisting
in nursing the patient, as under or-
dinal') circumstances, and tills lias
fallen heavily upon members of the
family who are almost exhausted
from their long vigils and constant
nursing, together with the great
grief in the loss of the beloved
daughter, sister, wife and mother,
who thus passes away in the morning
of her life.
The deceased was a daughter of i
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Mallow, and was,
born April 18-75, at the Mallow

ents to this city, where her father!
died November I. I9ti<;, She was i
married to Avner E. Buck March 4,1

Presbyterian church when hut fifteen
years of age and has always lived a !
faithful, earnest christian life, be-1
ing a zealous church worker who ev-l
er took pleasure in doing good,
She is survived by her husband,

tin following brothers and sisters:
Dr. John Mallow and Mrs. Ida Gosa

On account of quarantine restric-
tions being placed upon those who
were in attendance upon the defeas-

WORK OF THE
SPLIT-LOG-DRAG
A demonstration of the work of
the split log drag on M< Kinney's
streets was given Saturday through
the efforts and under the supervision
of Secretary W. B. Carnes of the Mc-
Kinney Commercial Club. A drag
belonging to the count) and a team
of the city were loaned for this pur-
pose. being in charge of Kelly Wor-
shani of the McKinney street force.
A portion of North Tennessee street
and North Kentucky street were
worked, and though the ground was
a little too dry to secure the best re-
sults. a hig improvement was noted.
The split-log drag as a maker of
good Btreets and roads is gaining
now friends daily In McKinney and
Collin county.
.
Quite a number of farmers met in
the Commercial Club rooms Saturday
to discuss Hie advisability of organiz-
ing a Collin County Truck Growers'
Association. A temporary organiza-
tion was suggested, all present con-
curring. On motion W. A. Hall was
called to the chair and Secretary W.
B. earnest of the Commercial Club,
was asked to keep the minutes. The
matter was discussed at some length
by st11 present, and it was unani-
mously agreed to meet In the Com-
mercial club rooms on Saturday.
March 7. for the purpose of forming
a permanent organization. The chair
appointed a committee on Constitu-
tion and By-Laws, consisting oil
Messrs. J ti. Williams, G. F. Woods,
W. W. Whelse) and Ben Wiley, and
instructed (hem to prepare constitu-
tion and by-laws to present at the
next meeting,.
The movement to organize an as-
sociation is a timely one, in view of
the fact that a larger onion crip is
being planted this year than hat' ev-
er been planted in Collin county be-
fore. mid it is the desire of those en-
gaged in the business tq realize as
much as possible out of. their ven-
ture. al^i to post themselves as to
liesl methods of cultivation, cure,
marketing, etc. This can better be
accomplished through an organiza-
tion, where they meet and compare
notes and experiences. Buyers can
be attracted and competition made
sharper, thus bringing to the grower
the very liest prices. It is hoped that
every onion grower in the county
will attend this next meeting and
liis influence to the measure.

cumstances. Success to all who try
is the reward awaiting all.- Wylie
