BASHES INTO
TRAIN; ONE KILLED
HEV, MOBLEY PAYS
TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS
Friday evening as the south-
bound train was hearing Claude,
at the crossing one mile west of
town,,an automobile on the way
from Shamrock to Clarendon,
dashed into the train, the force
of the impact breaking the step off
the rear of the engine. The car
was completely demolished.
Four men were occupants of
the car. The driver, Lee White
of Shamrock, was injured, having
several ribs broken and bruises
about the chest. His companion
0(1 the front seat was so badly in*
jured that his death was consid-
' ered certain from the moment 6f
the acoident until it occurred at
the sanitarium at Clarendon five
hours later. The two who occu-
pied the roar seat, \lessrs. H. A.
Walker of Clarendon and Terry
of Shamrock were uninjured be-
yond a severe shaking up.
As soon as possible the train
stopped and backed up to the
scene of the accident. The four
men were taken aboard the bap-
gage car and brought to Claude.
It was impossible to find a physi-
cian here as all were out of the
city on professional business, A
message to Goodnight revealed
the fact that the physician there
was away on business, and so
the injured man was carried to
Clarendon for treatment. His
death seemed imminent during
the stay here, as his body was
crushed in many places, two deep
wounds on his head making it a
matter of impossibility for him to
rally.
Witnesses of the tragedy con-
cur in the opinion that the parly
had been racing with tfce train
for some distance. They prob-
ably thought it possible to reach
the crossing in advance of the
train and thus save the delay,
When they discovered that they
could not cross the driver endeav-
ored to throw on the brake but it
refused to work. They evidently
did not anticipate any trouble for
the fireman said that when they
were in ten feet of the engine
they were la ughing and apparently
happy, but that the car seemed
to give a sudden leap forward and
their expression changed to one
of horror as they realized their
danger.
W.-M. Miller of the firm of
M'llor & Grimes went to Amarillo

anyway.

Rev. Ernest C. Mobley, who
begins a protracted meeting in
Claude next Sunday, pays the
following tribute to mother:
Mother, home and heaven .are
considered the sweetest words in
the Enlish language. They are
so intimately associated that it is
difficult to think of one without
the others. Heaven has evflf held
a strange spell over the weary
heart of the earth. It somehow
speaks of the fullness of life un-
der perfect environment in the
presence of God and His Re-
deemed. Homo, the first divine
institution among men, has al-
ways been the center around
which gathered ths very boat of
the earth. From the home has
gone out those streams of abiding
influences which have raised the
old world to higher heights. Here
generates the joys of lovo light
which leads the feet of multiplied
millions into the paths of right
and inspires the highest in them
to the best endeavor. It was the
lonely heart of Payne longing for
tho quiet of the only place that
was homo to him that gave the
world "Home, Sweet Home."
Drifting into tho gentlo breezes
and royal hospitality of the old
south he fame into the atmos-
phere of a real home at Athens,
Georgia, in that home was a
lovely lass. Tho ambitious young
man gained a plight and promise
and returned north to make his
name and fortune. The musos
were not generous and he crossed
the ocean to London. The world's
metropolis kept no unearned dia-
dems and tho boy dreamer and
lover soon found himself without
home, monoy and friends. Not'
being able to pay room rent hejj
was put on tho streets, one cold,
rainy, foggy night. Knowing that
if found on the streets after a
certain hour ho would bo taken
to polico headquarters, lie walked
aimlessly by St. Paul's and out
White Chapel way. There in des-
peration ho crawled into an old
lumberyard. (!old, hungry and
friendless, ho began to think of
that colonial home in Athens,
Georgia, and wrote on tho back
of an old envelope the immortal
linos of "Home, Sweet Homo."
To millions today tho word
mother strikes a responsive cord
Tho very namo calls up floods of
sacred memories and warms the
cold heart as nothing olse can do
