We are publishing two letters this
week which B. C. Shulkey gave us
that speak for themselves:
Mr. B. C. Shulkey,
Sup’t City Schools,
Olney, Texas
Dear Mr. Shulkey:
I appreciate very much your let-
ter and the nice things you said re-
garding our team, coach and citizen-
ship. The letter was posted on the
bulletin board so each student and
teacher might read it. I feed that it
was*as much their letter as mine.
You may feel assured that the
people here feel the same way about
you. I sincerely believe that this
game has kindled a respect and
friendship for Olney on the part of
our school and citizenship that will
certainly mean much in our future
dealings. Every member on our foot-
ball squad, including the- coach, has
made it a point to tell me that yours
was the cleanest and most sports-
manlike team they have met this
year. Not one time have I heard
an individual of the town speak
other than complimentary and with
the highest respect for your team,
coach and citizenship. We all real-
ize that the best team won and won
in a way that is complimentary to
all Olney and the district which they
represent.
We want you to know that all
Chillicothe is pulling for you in the
bi-district, and regional contests.
Very sincerely yours,
W.‘ E. HANCOCK,
Sup’t Chillicothe Schools.

WestoveiyVPI^rciebrate with them
their 60th wedding anniversary.
It was a day of pure joy flowing
unalloyed. Such a perfect day it
was, that it seemed heaven and
earth conspired to make the occa-
sion. The balminess of the, autumn
day was analagous of the warmth of
affection and sincerity of friendship
of the', guests, the great abundance
of excellent food was like the weal-
th of cordial hospitality of the host
and hostess. In fact, there was noth-
ing to mar the day except the fleet-
ing time.
Just three score years ago on a
similar day in old South Caralina,
wedding bells pealed forth for these
octogenarians, and under the solemn
authority of the law, words were
spoken which made of the twain
one flesh, and again, like this day,
loving friends and relatives were
present to bid them God speed as
they started on , their honeymoon
trip to the Lone Star State, where
they have since resided. Seven chil-
dren who have been reared to use-
ful and honorable citizenship, six-
teen grandchildren and six great
grandchildren were present on this
glad occasion, as result of the union.
It is not given to many people to
live together for a half of a cen-
tury, plus ten years on a second
half. Nor do many people improve
the time allotte dto them as have
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, as is at-
tested by their many friends, their
far-reaching influence for good
wherever they have lived. Always
helpful, always serving, always, as
did Dorhas of old, going about do-
ing good, always letting their light
shine. It seems their motto must
have been:
“Let me live in a house by the
side of the road and be a friend to
the man who is good, the

man who is bad, as good and as bad
as I. I would not sit in the scoffer’s
seat, nor hurl the cynics ban. Let
we live in a house by the side of
the road and be a friend to man.”
If indeed it has been their motto,
it has borne fruit in rich, ripe friend-
ships, in reverence and esteem of
their many acquaintances, as was
expressed in the many flowers and
gifts bestowed upon them, on their
60th wedding anniversary, long to
be remembered by each one there.
Mr. Alexander was born in Geor-
gia on December 12, 1848. His wife
Emma Gambrell, was born in South
| Carolina on October 16, 1849. Thus
came into being two lives'Which have
been a benediction to all whom they
have touched, radiating the dignity
jf work, proving the law of abund-
ance which follows work, with mal-
ice toward' none, with charity for
all, their lives have been living-
epistles known and read of all men.
They settled in Johnson county,
I moved thence to Tarrant county,
then to Hardeman county, from
there to Montague county, and, 25
years ago to Young county, resid-
ing southwest of Olney for ten
years, and 15 years ago moved to
their present home near Westover,
in Baylor county.
Now that th eafternoon of life is
reflecting" upon them the golden
glow of its eff uipeht sunset, all
present wished for them a long and
happy evening twilight, full of faith
and contentment, with many happy
returns of th eday. And when at last
they are dulled to sleep by the gen-
tle Japping of the waves of time on
eternity’s golden shore, all are as-
sured their barque will 'sail peace-
fully into a placid haven, always
awaiting them since the foundation
of the world.
Those present from Olney were:
Mr. and Mrs. John R. Wilson, Mr.
and Mrsf Frank Alexander and fam-
ily, Mr. and Mrs. Opie Gambrell,
Mrs. A. T. Gray, Mrs. J. D. Spen-
cer. From Westover were: Mr. and
