WHAT is adamantine?

We had occasion fo look up Webster the other day, and f<\uncl
that, under “adamantine,’’ he describes our abstracts of title.
-—‘-Incapable of being broken, dissolved, or penetrated,” are the
wqrda he useB. . In other words, the entire history of the'property
op which title is predicated js presented in the abstract. Taxes,
assessments, judgments, mortgages, liens, if they exist.-'ufe-epot-
ted and reported. Uncertainties of tarnsfer 1 are noted. And if
nothing unavoidable is reported, nothing unavoidable exists.
Whatever the truth is, the abstract is; therefore, what it tells
bannbt he broken, dissolved or penetrated. Only the experience,
scrupulous care, and the complete accurst*, systematic records
-possessed by us, make it possible to furnish that kind of an
•nhctrncti and do it every .time. Nobody but a specialist knows
enough to give you the best service in Tbls line. Come In and

Belgian Emigration.
‘‘Come into my parlor,
Said the spider to the lly.
It is the prettiest little parlor,
That ever you did see ”
That we have a more pressing
problem In widespread unemploy-
merit than in bow to help the. Bel-
gians, was made clear by a lielgian
bank'-r—,'lr, Alfrek Miditor, who
is quoted as follows by the San
Francisco Star:
“I find in San Francisco and in
the United States a lot of people
accosting me in tin; streets, asking
me money ami work, and I think
if the colonization committee that
is offering land and work to the
Belgians would find tor their own
unemployed something to do here,
they could he doing more good.
If they have farm land and work
they should give to their own peo-
'pl it" firsts—
This is as much a well deserved
rebuke as it is timely advice. As
long as unused natural resources
are closed to our people, it is mock-
ery to offer them to unfortunate
foreigners. The way to help Bel-
gians is to abolish land monopoly
and allow all who wish to use them
access to natural opportunities.
Without doing this the plan to im-
port Belgian is just about as phil-
anthropic h.H the spider’s invita-
tion to the fly. The .Belgians are
eqrely enduring enough misfortune
Without being urged to swell the
list of victims of American land
monopoly. This is, as it always
has been, the monopolizer of nat-
ural opportunities always stands
ready to make slaves of those that
are so unfortunate as to be without
a homp in a world that “God bad
made for all.”'
The only way to correct this
state of affairs is to apply the
Single Tax until the monopolistic
land grabbers can feel of bis own
pocket and tell himself just bow
much land.he needs in bis business
as a.producer of good things that
will increase the wealth of the
In Memory of Lillie Mlary Ruth
Franklin.
On Saturday, September 26th,
1914, at 9:10 a. m., God’s mes-
senger left bis awful summon and
dear little Mary Ruth went to her
eternal home,.
‘ Thou art gone, our hearts ate
Jonely; ■
Ne’er more wilt thou return,
But in heaven we hope to meet thee,
On the resurrection morn.”
A happy little family has been
broken. Her death was so linex-.
pected and it is so hard to have to
give her up, hut the great Ruler
knows best.
To the bereaved father and
mother we would say: Weep-not,
though your little family is broken,
and you have a vacaut place which
never can be filled, but sweet is
the thought you shall meet dear
-----—- ..............____________
Oh! how sweet it will he in that
beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on bur lips and harps
in our hands;
For to meet one another again.
May God, who saw fit to take
this precious one from her home
ever be near you. Though snatch-
ed from her home so early, re-
member that the Lord, in his wis-
dom, knows best, and has, for
some wise purpose which we can-
not understand, taken your pre-
cious one from this wilderness of
pain and death to His own glorious
abode.
Mary Ruth was the second
daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. W. B,
Franklin, of Teague, Texas. She
was born on June 3,' 1905. Her
remains were interred at the
city cemetery at Teague, Elder
Luther Norman officiating.
Your home is made desolate,
your hearts made sad, by the loss
of this dear one, but it should be a
sweet thought for you to know that
Mary Ruth now nestles in the arms
of Jesus and is a gem in His crown,
in that
grand chorus whichshalt shot!t the
high praises of God forever and for-
ever. A Cousin,

The dinner was carried out in
Xmas style, red and green being
the color scheme. On each place
card was written a verse originated
by the hostess to compare with
each guest. ----—-—r-
Much enjoyment was had in
reading the verses and seating the

... The medical profession has many
peculiarities not characteristic of
other profession^. The doctor
works alone, except on rare . occa-
sions. The nature of his calling
is such that he is busy by day and
by night, making his rounds of
visitation, alleviating snffering,
saving precious lives, and doing
good for his fellow man. No other
profession is like ours. The
architect, the lawyer, and those of
commercial avocations mix and
mingle with each other, become
friends, understand each other,
and naturally become more friend-
y and appreciative of each other’s
company.
Ordinarily the doctor has three;
sources of information: First, his
patrons, who in addition to their
ailments, sometimes tell him of
their physical, mental, domestic
troubles, and especially why they
cannot pay the doctor’s bill;
second, reading their books and
journals which" each doctor must
do lf'he keeps up with Ids profes-
sion; and third aud in many re-
■anccia...th£.-heat._ associating with
other physicians in the medical
society. The one thing to be
regretted is that Borne of the
members do not attend the meet-
ings and do not seem to appreciate
the advantages they forfeit by not
aeirig present at every session.
There we learn to know each
other better and to understand
each other’s peculiarities, and to

tion issued out of the Justice Court

&
By an interchange " of ’ ideas we
derive mutual benefit. The county
society is the foundation of medical
organigatioDs; it is the judge of
the fitness of its members, and the
state society accepts its judgement.
The increase of interest on the
part of our members is very gratify-
ing and bespeaks a bright future
for the Freestone County Medical
Society. At our last meeting we
seemed to all experience a like
inspiration, an^ to feel the same
resolve to better our work in the
future through our society and to- and general relief
maintain a higher standard of
medical education among the phys-
icianB of Freestone cdunty
As we approach the beginning
of the New Year let us resolve to
make our lives more useful and
helpful to our patrons and friends,
and if you have a friend who is a
doctor and you think he shoulc
join the society for his own good,
and that organized medicine would
be benefitted by his work anc
influence, then urge him to give
you his name to present at our
next meeting. But if you know
him to be hopelessly dead don’t
try to keep him above ground in
medicine; his place can he better
filled by Borne more useful man
If he is indifferent wAike him up,
and keep him attending our county
society, that he may help us and
we may help him and help each
other to strive to make our profes-
sion more helpful to suffering
humanity and more satisfactory ,to
ourselves.
