Mr*.'John R^ Steele passed to
a§r reward Tuesday morning at
2J0 a; m., after a long illness.
She died at the home of her
/J. W. Steele, where she
ha'S' made her home for a num-
ber of years.
?Irs. Steele was born in Mont-
^oineVy county, Texas, in 1840,
TMadi^^unty^s, a part
oi that county, later Madison
•qunty was cut off and was then
a "part of Walker county and
•till later Madison county was
organized from a part of Wal-
* .<
ker and Leon counties, thus she
as lived in the same community
a three different counties dur-
ing' her lifetime. Not only that
ut- she has lived under three
flags that have waved over Tex-
as soil; first the flag of the
Republic of Texas, then the flag
of the Confederacy and then
under the flag of the United
States.
She was married to John R.
Steele on March 3, 1858 and
shortly after their marriage
hey moved to the place on
which she died and had lived
there all these years except the
ur years her husband gave to
Confederacy as one of its
faith in God be an inspiration to
any who would have doubts and
fear for eternity.
As we mingle our tears with
the bereaved family in the loss
of a good mother, grand-mother
and sister, may we not forget
her virtues and strive to imulate
her noble life.

I said I did not think I would
run for the Treasurer's office
this year, and would not unless
petitioned by as many as fifty
qualified voters. Thanks to the
loyal friends that released mc
from said promise. Win or lose,
it Will be a bright spot in my
memory.
It is a critical time to change
ne
soldiers. During the war she
lived with her father, Dr. Robin-
in the Elwood community.
Her father was also an ex-sol-
dier, having served in the Mexi
an War, and was a hero at the
ba|tl£ of San Jacinto at which
jfrrie he was wounded. His re
mains lie in the Allphin Ceme-
tery !in the East side of Madison
county.
d6fep. Steele joined the Metho-
ilsfchurch when but 16 years
, had lived true to her faith
and her God all these years. The
writer heard her testimony at a
$ng at the Methodist church
some months ago and the un-
v f) *
watering faith she had in the
Great God, whom she had served
faithfully, was indeed an inspi-
ration to all the congregation
that heard these beautiful words
of ..Testimony.
^passing she leaves to mourn
hdi?'going four sons and two
daughters: Messrs W. W. Steele,
J. *W. Steele, Mrs. Belle Connor,
and Mrs. J. T. Hollis of this
dj$; Mr. R. L. Steele of Hous-
ton and Jim Steele of Corpus
Christi. She also leaves 21
grand children; 20 great grand-
children and one great-great-
grand child, Fred Evans, Jr.,
the little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Evans, of Houston.
She leaves one sister, Mrs. Al-
bert Wakefield, of Midway, be-
sides a host of other relatives
in this and other sections of
Texas.
She was 87 years, 5 months
nncl 8 adys old at the time of
her death. Funeral services
were held at the Methodist
Church in this city at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, conducted
by Rev. B. C. Anderson. Her
weary body was laid to rest in
the city cemetery, surrounded
by a host of sorrowing relatives
and friends.
Mrs. Steele has lived a life
among these people that is above
reproach and has reared a fami-
There will be a meeting of
the hog raisers of Madison
county at the county agent's
office next Saturday, January 20,
for the purpose of perfecting our
Madison CountyHog Associa-
tion, and to get lined up with
the East Texas Feeder Pig As
sociation.
We are getting a car of
hoates on feed now to ship
about the first of April. If you
aave any hogs that you want
to sell at this time, we want you
to be present at this meeting so
as to see how many hogs that we
will have to sell. It looks like
we will have to make two ship-
ments to take care of the hogs
that folks say they want tosell.
As we do not know what you
are thinking, come to the meet-
ing that will be at ten o'clock
Saturday morning and tell us
how many hogs you are going
to feed to ship in April. You
will also be told how over one
hundred thousand hogs have
been fed in Texas for .less than
six cents per pound.
Remember, if this hog deal
goes over, it will be with your
presence, and we will know how
tc go on with the plana of feed-
ing out these hogs. -So be pres-
ent. Wi. IliftiPay^

FOR COUNTY jfUDGE
After being solicited by a
number of voters from various
sections of the county, I have
decided to make the race for
County Judge, subject to the
action of the Democratic pri-
mary in July.
I have no promise to make
' he voters if elected except to
-ender honest and faithful ser
vice.

refundi indebtedness is regies
ed on the books and cannot be
cancelled until paid and old war-
rants returned. These old war-
rants to be paid by different
parties at different places. They
have not all been located and it
may be two years or longer be-
fore returned.
This would be confusing to a
treasurer not familiar with con-
ditions and should he pay them
from the county's funds would
tangle the records with perhaps
loss to the county.
I do not claim to be smarter
than others, but helped to pre-
pare the lists of indebtedness
and am familiar with the work,

Friends, I know I have per-
formed my duties to the best of
my knowledge honestly,, con-
scientiously and lawfully.
I make mistakes—so would
you. My conscience is clear.
My records are open to vour
inspection. Do not listen to ru-
mor, but come to the records.
Give me a chance of vindication.
Accept my heartfelt thanks
for all past favors, which include
not only Votes cast for me, but
all kinds of words spoken in my
behalf, confidence and co opera-
tion of the officials, legal advice
of attorneys, and last, but not
least, the warm hand clasps and
sympathetic words spoken by
friends, when I was falsely ac-
cused and troubled.
If my work has been satisfac
tory I shall appreciate your sup
port and influence for re-elec-
tion for Treasurer of Madison
county, subject to the Democrat-
ic Primaries of 1928.
With best wishes,
MRS. RUTH PARK.
