Expression of Sorrow.*
We take this opportunity of ex-
pressing our sorrow at the death of
our friend and classmate, Earle Mc-
Cann. In our whole class, with an
enrollment of nearly 100, there was
not one who was a more diligent
worker, or more enthusiastic in his
attendance or the urging of others
to attend. It goes without saying
that he will be greatly missed from
our midst. The Baraca class ex-
tends to his widowed mother and
relatives its heartfelt sympathy.

tuting a short term mortgage on

Waller T. Burns of Houston. Judge
Burns also appointed Thomas H.
Ball as special master in chancery,
whose duty will be to pass on all
claims against the railroad. Judge
Thomas J. Freeman, the retiring
president of the company, speaking
of the short term bonds, the in-
terest on which the company de-
faulted, said: "An attempt was
made to get an extension of these
notes, but without success. Va-
rious creditors were pressing for
payment, and in order to protect
all interests without discrimination
and to protect the property against
sacrifice, it was deemed advisable
to place the property in the hands
of a federal court receiver."

Not So Strange After AIL
You may think it strange that so
many people are cured of stomach
trouble by Chamberlain's Tablets.
You would not, however, if you
should give them a trial. They
strengthen and invigorate the
stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Mrs. Rosie
Rish, Wabash, Ind., writes, "Nothing
did me the least good until I began
using Chamberlain's Tablets. It is
decidedly the best medicine for
stomach trouble I have ever used."
