Public School Building.
The generous people of this
School District have voted upon
themselves a tax of $25,000 with
which to build for themselves a
school building, and those in
authority have also been selected
to carry out their wishes in the
details of accomplishing the work.
Before adopting the plans and
specifications, several things
should be carefully considered, as
Capt. J. W. Adams.
Capt. J. W. Adams was born
in Anderson County, Texas,
August 25th, 1844 and died at
his home in Valley Mills, Texas,
on Wednesday, April 24th, 1912
at 8:35 o’clock p. m., age 67
years, 7 months and 29 days.
Mr. Adams came to Bosque
County in 1860 and with the ex-
ception of about four years
spent in Western Texas, has re-
mained in this county since, re-
siding at Meridian and Valley
Mills. He professed religion at
a revival meeting held at Rock
Church near Valley Mills in 1868
and joined the Cumberland Pres-
byterian Church at that place.
He was married to Matilda
Elizabeth Odle on November 22,
1866, and was the father of fif-
teen children, three of whom
died in infancy.
He served in Green’s Brigade
under Capt. Horn in the Con-
federate Army, was a Mason of
about 45 years standing, and
Within the limits of this school served as Tax Collector of this

are no brick kilns here, hence rea-

the following reasons: 1st. Be-

money for labor would be paid for

Johnson Announces For District Judge.
In announcing my candidacy for
the office of District Judge ot the
18th Judicial District to the peo-
ple of the Meridian country andof
Bosque county, I wish to state
that I’believe my education and
experience as a lawyer gives me a
full realization of the importance
of the office and responsibility at-
tached to the administration of
the duties belonging to it.
I have lived in the adjoining
county of Johnson for 33 years,
having moved to that county
when I was 7 years of age, and
have practiced law at the Cleburne
bar and in the surrounding coun-
ties 15 years. My ability and
qualifications to fill the position is
well known to the people of John-
son county, who have known me
best, and especially the members
of the bar at Cleburne and Meri-
dian.
I am making no personal fight
on Judge Lockett, who is also a
j candidate for re-election, but he
has held the office for two terms
—that is eight years, and I believe
in the policy of the Democratic
party, that rotation in office is not
only proper and fair under Demo-
cratic government but that it is
also absolutely essential in order
that there shall not be established
a special office holding class and
that it is but fair to the people

Taxes
Those who pay for the building by
way of taxation would reap the
benefit in advance of the paying
of the tax, and the whole district
and community greatly benefited
by the building of the house—but
on the contrary, if the house
should be built of brick, or part
stone and part brick, then the
money, or a very large portion of
it would be paid out to brick
yards in other parts of the State,
and to rail roads in shape oi
freight bills.
We have had experience in the
part stone, and part brick build-
ings, in the building of the M. E.
Church on Depot Street. This
house is now, about to fall down
while our Court House, and Col-
lege buildings are as good as when
built and will last for ages.
The object in writing this article
at this time, is to give due notice
in order that no mistake be made
in the kind of building desired by
our people.
A Subscriber.
Hon. Finis Johnson, of Cle-
burne, was a visitor to Meridian
first of the week and while here
paid this office a friendly call.
He instructed us to place his
name' in our announcement
column as a candidate for judge
of the 18th judicial district. His
formal announcement appears in
another column.
In this issue we publish a com-
munication handed us by one of
our subscribers in reference to the
material to be used in the new
public school building We desire
to state that our columns are
open to any one who may wish
to say anything that they may
think is to the benefit of this
section.
place.
He is the last surviving mem-
ber of his immediate family, his
parents and five brothers having
preceded him. He is survived
by his wife and children as fol-
lows: Mrs. Fannie Golden, Floy-
dada; Geo. I. Adams, Ft. Worth;
Jno. B. Adams, Meridian; Tom
P. Adams, Wichita Falls; Mrs.
Levi A. Dunlap, Meridian; Mrs.
Edd Johnson, Crosbyton; Mrs.
Glad Snodgrass, Floydada;
Misses Mattie, Julia and Ona
Adams, Jay and Hugh Adams,
Valley Mills.
Capt. Adams was well known
to all of the old settlers of Bos-
que and adjoining counties and
he numbered his friends almost
by his acquaintances. His truest
and best friends were those who
knew him best, and who by deal-
ings and transactions with him
found him to be absolutely hon-
est, truthful, courageous and
sincere in all things.
As an officer of this County
and of the City of Meridian he
was always kind and obliging in
every official act, but with it all
he took the law as his guide and
officially knew neither friend or
foe, a trait in his official life well
worthy of emulation; as a neigh-
bor he was untiring and obliging
even to discommoding himself to
accommodate a neighbor; as a
Mason he was well posted in the
work of both the Lodge and
Chapter and took great pleasure
in the work of both orders, and
in imparting the work to those of
his brethren who were less in-
formed; as a church man he was
ever active and a regular attend
ant upon the services of his
Church, devoted to its interest
and to the promotion of the
cause of God in the community
in which he lived. He lived his
religion and by acts rather than
words showed his "Christian
character; as a husband and
generally that offices be open from
time to time to the man who
specially qualifies himself to fill
same and aspires to do so.
The people of Johnson county
voted for Judge Lockett when he
ran eight years ago and he carried
that county over its home man on
the theory that turn about was
fair play and that Bosque county,
not having had the judgeship, was
entitled to it. He has now held
the office two terms and the rule
that was good then ought to be
good yet, that time about between
the counties of the district, other
things being equal, is fair and
proper.
Public office belongs to the peo-
ple and should not be made the
private asset or considered the
special pioperty of any individual.
I earnestly invite the consider-
ation of the people of Bosque
county to my candidacy for the
office and promise them that if
elected I will use my best endeavors
to fill the same honestly, courte-
ously and without favoriteism to
an individual, corporation or class.
Believing as I do that the business
of a Judge is to decide the ques-
tions of law coming before him
without attempting to thrust his
personal views into the individual
case on one side or another, no
matter how strong his personal
and individual views may be upon
the right or wrong involved in the
particular matter of litigation.
Hoping to meet all of the peo-
ple of this part of the district per-
sonally and assuring each and
everyone that I will appreciate
their consideration and support,
I am Very truly,
(Adv.) Finis Johnson.

father he was indeed one of the
most devoted the writer has
ever known.
In the loss of Capt. Adams his
country has sustained the loss of
a man who proved his love and
dovotion to his country in the
Confederate army, and in every
act of his life since that great
struggle ended. When this was
ended, he submitted and loved
the old flag as few men love it.
His Church has lost a most use-
ful man; his lodges a devoted
and faithful member, and his
wife and children have suffered
the loss of a loved and loving
husband and father, who never
tired or became weary in doing
every thing in his power to
make them happy. In every
walk of life whether as soldier or
citizen he proved himself to be a
splendid and courageous man.
May the sod press lightly and
the rains fall gentle upon the
grave of this brave chivalric
soldier, patriotic citizen and
gentle and devoted husband and
father.
