DEATH OF MRS. PIPKIN.
Beaumont, Texas, January 12.
— This afternoon at 4:15 o'clock,
Mrs. Kate Suyers Pipkin, beloved
wife of L. B. Pipkin, a prominent
and respected citizen of this city,
died at the family residence, 1256
Frederic street. Mrs. Pipkin was
41 years of age, and had been in
ill health for some time, and her
death, though deeply deplored,
was not unexpected.
Besides a husband, L. B. Pip-
kin, Mrs. Pipkin is survived by
four children, as follows: Roger,
aged 17 years; Fayette, aged 15
years; Louis, aged 6 years, and
Dorothy, aged 12 vears. Deceas-
ed is also survived by five sisters,
namely: Mrs. John N. Gilbert,
Mrs. L. P. Norvell and Mrs. J.
N. Price, of this city, Mrs. Jose-
phine Haymond, of Houston and
Mrs. S. J. Olive, of Waco. She
is also survived by one brother,
Lee Wilbarger, of Bastrop, Texas.
Mrs. Pipkin was a member of
the Wilbarger family, one of the
most prominent in Bastrop county
Texas. She was a leader in Beau-
mont church and society circles
and leaves a host of friends who
will sincerely mourn her death.
The funeral took place frcm
the family residence at Beaumont
Monday afternoon, at 4 o'clock,
with interment in Magnolia Cem-
etery. Rev. S. R. Hay, pastor of
the First Methodist church, and
Rev. G. V. Ridley, Methodist
pastor stationed at Mount Pleas-
ant. officiating.
A large number of mourning
relatives and many sympathising
friends were present at the bur-
ial of the dear one so devotedly'
beloved in life, and whose death
is so universally deplored.
The sad news of the death of
Mrs. L. B. Pipkin, uee Miss
Kate Wilbarger, was received
here with deep, heart felt regret,
and many friends of her girl-
hood days deeply mourn her
death and sympathise with the
family in their irreparable loss.
Mrs. Pipkin was born, reared
and educated in Bastrop; it was
here she grew into lovely wo-
manhood, and was dearly be-
loved by all who knew her, and
it was here she pledged her
troth to the man of her choice,
for whom she left the home of
ber youth, parents and relatives,
to go with him, bless and make
his home happy Time passes;
the beloved one of the house-
hold was stricken, and a bright,
happy home was changed to
one so dark and gloomy that,
while time may somewhat ease
and console, no number of days
on earth, can ever fully assuage;
after years of blissful happiness,
surrounded by devoted mother,
husband, children, relatives and
loving friends, her pure spirit
passes from earth to that God
who gave it life—there, in the
Bright Elyseau fields to dwell
forever, where there is no death
pain or sorrow, lint, the once
happy home, is now desolate;
crushed, breaking hearts, left
behind. The grieved ones can
I only find consolation in the
happy belief that the christian
i spirit of their dear beloved one
is now a shining light in the
Realms of Eternal Bliss. So
I live that you may meet your
I loved one /over there."
All Bastrop joins in deep
sympathy for the grief-stricken
mother, husband, children, sis
ters, brothers and relatives.

A HAPPY WEDDING.
Last Sunday evening, January
12th, 1908, at 6:30 o'clock, in the
home of the bride, was the ap
pointed hour for the happy couple,
Mr. J. J. Browning, from Bir-
mingham, Alabama, and Miss
Anna E. Meyer, of Bastrop, Tex.,
to be united in marriage. The
house was well filled with rel-
atives and friends to wish the
newly married couple a long and
happy married life. After the
matrimony was performed the
bride and bride-groom taking the
lead, all the guests were invited
to take their places around the
wedding supper table, which con-
tained substantial and delicious
food. After the wedding the
above named couple attended the
evening service, in the German-
Methodist church. That is the
way to begin a married life. May
God's blessings rest, upon you.

tional Five act western play,
written expressly for him by the
well known author* Hal Reid,
entitled "King of the Cattle

Bauhof, in Bastrop. Texas, Tues-
day, Jan. 14, 1908, Mr, Adolph
Bauhof, of Loekhart, formerly
of this city, and Miss Ottelia
Willie Vogel, of Loekhart. The
young couple were to have b?en
married in Loekhart, but after
assembling at the Catholic church
the Priest decided that owing to
the fact that the contracting
parties were third cousins, he
could not perform the ceremony
without first obtaining the Bis
hop's consent, which is one of
the rules of the Catholic church.
As it would have required several
days to consult the Bishop, the
young couple came to Bastrop
and were married by Judge J, N.
Jenkins at place and time above
mentioned. Mr. Bauhof is a
native Bastropian, an energetic
and capable young man, popular
