I .ittlcpage, ot Waco, should
preach t1 e sermon that day and
dedicate the church. He was
the pastor here just after the
t'i\il War and again in the
eighties. His hair and beard
are snow white, his eyes a little
dim and his hearing a little im-
paired, hut his mind is active
and his faith in God unwavering
His voice sounded clear and
strong as he read Joshua’s last,
exhortation to the children i f
Israel, and took for his text the
words “Now, therefore, fear the
Lord, and servo him in sincerity
and im-Uujth. The” sermon was
listened to attentively by a large
congregation, and the earne t
plea for right living will not soon
he forgotten.

There seems to be a doubt in
the minds of many as to whetb-
it. is necessary for one over the
poll tax age to secure an exemp-
tion certificate. Tax Collec-
tor Peyton investigated the mat
ter thoroughly, and says that it
is not necessary, and all over
age are entitled to vote with-
out it.
Sketch of John Terry.
John T. Terry was born in
Steward county, Ga., Feb. 17,
1844, and died at his home in
Fairfield, Texas, Jan. 6th, 1911.
Surving him are his wife, seven
children—four sons and three
daughters—and three brothers
and one sister—G. T., D. W., and
R. R. Terry, and Mrs. J. C. Hen-
derson.
Volunteered in Civil War in
Co. G, 46th Ga. Regiment, which
was recruited at Lumpkin, Ga.
He made an excellent soldier, and
for faithfulness was made a Cor-
poral, and went into all the bat-
tles with the regiment, and final-
ly after being surrounded at
Nashville, surrendered.
Served for ten years as Jus-
tice of the Peace, Prec. No. 1,
Freestone county, and one term
as County Judge.
.Judge Terry was a man noted
for his integrity, and his word
was as good as any bond. He
was true and faithful to his
friends, and he left many that
will long remember ^im and
cherish his memory.
He moved to Fairfield in 1873,
and made it his home until his
death. XX.
Harold Williford, pupil of tho
Teague High School, broke his
arm last Friday while playing
on the school ground. His
mother, Mrs. R. L. Williford,
went over Sunday, and he re-
turned with her Tuesday.
Do you know7 that croup can
be prevented? Give Chamber-

the child becomes hoarse or ev-

tack, it is also a certain cure for
croup, and has never been
known to fail. Sold by Johnson
& Mcllveen.
E. C. Lindsey, of the Post Oak
community, recently received a
letter notifying him of the death
of his sister, Mrs. S. A. Wig-
gins, at Chestnut, Ala. She was
about 73 years of age.

In Memory of Mrs. Mollie Black-
mon.
Yes, Grandma's gone, the woman of
priceless worth,
Of pure and upright heart;
From early womanhood to the grave,
She chose “the better part.”
She was the foe of all that’s mean,
Of sin in any form;
Unflinching, strong and sure she
stood,
As oak in time of storm,
F or four score years and more she
faced
Life’s duties with courage true
and firm,
She knew its sorrows, shared its toils
And pleasures, too, in turn.
For many years in Christian love
She truly served the Lord,
And in the year nineteen and ten,
She passed to her reward.
Unto her Maker, whom she loved,
She yields her latest breath;
Her life ends not with her death.
But onward through the coming
years
Shall unforgotten be, silent witness
for the light,
For truth and piety.
She’s gone, and wheh our time shall
come,
And one by one we go
To meet the judge of all the earth,
To whom all knees shall bow,
May we face death triumphantly.
Hear Jesus’ sweet “Well done,”
And, reunited, sing God’s praise,
In our eternal home.
Mrs. John E. Parker.
We liad the pleasure of being
in Kirven last Saturday, and
were astonished at the growth
of this little Freestone county
town, and at the size of the mer-
cantile establishments there.
Kirven now has a bank, and the
town is going after business.
We predict further growth for
Kirven. It has a fine trade ter-
ritory, and is in a rich section.
The farmers in the Shanks
community are pushing their
work. New land is being placed
in cultivation, and the people are
making various improvements.
All seem to be prosperous.
If you don’t believe our farm-
ers use the best and most im-
proved riding and walking cul-
tivators, just go down to Miller’s
Hardware and see the latest im-
proved Case, .Oliver, Eagle,
Kelley and Standard Riding and
Walking Cultivators. Also see
the Case, Oliver, “Mr. Tbill,”
Kelley, Empress and Canton Rid-
ing Planters, and the famous
