A GOOD WOMAN GONE.
Friday afternoon of last week, Mrs
A. T. Leslie died, after a lingering
illness. The remains were lain to
rest in the Childress cemetery Sat-
urday at 1. o'clock, after a funeral
service at ihe South Side Presbyter-
ian church, which was conducted by
Rev. J. T. Price of that church. A
large concourse of friends of the
family followed the remains to their
last resting place.
Mary A I'etry was born in Orange
county, X March 9, lSliri. She
moved with her parents to Arkansas
in later years. In December, 18'iN,
at Washington, Ark., she was united
in marriage to A. T. Ix?slie. They
lived in -that state uutil 1ST:', when
they moved to Fannin county, Texas.
In 18!tl they moved with their family
to Randall county, and moving to
Childress cunuty in JSitti. To this
union nine children were born, seven
of whom art still living, as follows:
.Mrs. W. K. McLaughlin of Rawls,
Texas; M:> Walter Campbell of Well
ington; James A., Henry, R. I., of
Memphis; W. T., of Bailey, Texas,
and Bert.
Mrs. Leslie united with the Pres-
byterian church at an early age and
ws's a faithful worktl-.to they end of
life. She was highly respected by
all who knew tier. F-i t.ie past few
years,, she has not been able to be
around a great deal, and for the past
few months has been confined to her
room the greater part of the time.
The Index joins wiht the friends
of tiie family in extending sympathy
in this liO'jr of their,' Ijeseavement.
There are about 30,000 school trus-
tees in Texas. P. L. Aten, Round
Rock," is president, and L. T. Cun-
ningham, Ad son, is Secretary, of
the State Trustees ..Association,
whfich holjls its annual meeting at
College Station during the Farmers'
Congress. It is hoped that this or-
ganization may develop into one of
the greatest forces in the State for
the improvement of school conditions.

THE TONGUE
OF TREACHERY
Grinding Up
Mustard Seeds
is not by any means all io
g(.od mustard making. In
the first place there's just
one mustard seed that will
make thoroughly satisfac-
tory mustard — that seed
comes from England. Then
there has to be extraordin-
ary care taken in the hand-
ling and ihe grinding of the
seed so that strength and
delicacy of llavor will not
l>e lost.
White Swan Dry Mustard
is made from the best se-
lected English seed and is
ground by a special process
which retains all the
"mustardy" goodness of the
seed. A little White Swan
goes further and gives bet-
ter results. Not only pure
—better than the law re-
quires.
Save the labels.

CARD OF THANKS.
Though grreatly grieved by the
death of our beloved relative, we
take this means of thanking the many
people, who were so interested and
helped us so much during his last
illness.' Words cannot express our
appreciation for their many acts of
kindness and love. May God ble^s

friends during every sorrow.

The deadly peril to life and health
wrought by the housefly and the sta-

understood as now, and the experi-
ence of Cleveland In her notable anti-
fly compaign. initiated and conducted
by Dr. Jean Dawson, enforces this les-
son—that the work must start at or be-
fore the opening of spring because flies
breed so rapidly: hence there Is now

The American School Board Jour-
nal offers a valuable list of Don'ts
that are worthy the attention of
Texas' Trustees:
"Don't hire a friend because she
is a friend.
Don't hire a teacher without a valic
certificate. It is illegal and violai
es your oath of office.
Don't hire an experienced—failure.
Don't hire an applicant unless you
know something definite about her
scholarship and personal character,
and ability.
Don't wait for the good teacher
to seek your school. Go after her
yourself.
Don't let a good teacher go If a
merited raise in salary will hold
her.
Don't keep a poor teacher. She is
worth less than $n.06 a year.
