Improves Laundry
Mrs, R, T Collingsworth, who op-
erates a belpy-selfy laundry east of
the court house, has made an im-
provement at her place which greatly
facilitates the business of cleaning
clothes. A system of pipes has been
connected with a steam chest where-
by steam Is injected into the wash-
ers. This rapidly heats the water,
which can be made any temperature
that may be desired.
The steam pipes are connected with
eight washers, making it easy for
a large amount of clothes to be put
through iri short order and cleaned
thoroughly,
Thanks to My Friends
Though my campaign for election
as County and District Clerk of Bay-
lor County is over, I cannot consider
the books closed until I extend to
my friends and supporters my hearty
appreciation for the fine vote given
me in the July election.
I enjoyed the campaign, and the
privelege of meeting the fine people
of the county. While I am naturally
disappointed in the result, neverthe-
less I have no hard feelings for any-
one, and hope that the citizens of
(he county feel as friendly toward
me as I do toward thorn.
Yours truly, j
W. C. (Doc) Sims.
K. A. Rogers Passe*
Although E A Rogers had been
In fulling health for several month*,
and the family realized that lie was
not doing well, yet few In the com-
munity were prepared for the news
that came Monday morning of hll
death. He died at 0:40 o'clock, with
a heart attack. ^
Mr. Rogers had not been able to
be at his store since January, but of
Inte he had seemed to be n little
better, Ho attended some of the
rodeo and old settlers reunion, and
win at the store for a topple of hour*
one day last week, But not for sev-
eral years has he been In robust
health, and he stems to have grad-
ually broken down.
Funeral services were hold at the
home on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30
o’clock. A former pastor, Rev E C.
Cargill, come from Memphis to con-
duct the services, and he paid a glow-
ing tribute to the memory of a man
who had served his church so faith-
fully and long as had Mr. Rogers.
Bro. Cargill was assisted by Rev. J,
R Balch and Rev. Frank Wodell of
Seymour and Rev. M. B. Carroll of
Red Springs.
Special music was given by a
quartet composed of Robert Jones,
John Chandler, Lee W. Harris and
Phillip Card. The pall bearers were:
George Andruss, R. L. George, R. R
Kellum, O. McDaniel, R. E. Baskin
and A J. McNeill. Interment was
In the old original cemetery. There
was a large crowd of sorrowing
friends who gathered to pay a 1««* j
tribute of respect to the memory of j
this good man.
Ed Rogers was born at Amerleus,
Ga . on Dec. 17, 1801. He lived there
until he was grown, and then be-
gan work at Atlanta, where he re-
mained until coming to Texas and to
Seymour In 1800. He began work
here as a painter and Interior dec-
orator, and in 1800 he eitaibllahed
his paint and paper store. He had
continued with this ever since, being
the oldest business man In the city
in point of continuous service Dur-
ing this time he had much to do wlth|
building operations In Seymour, in
the county and In adjoining counties.
Mr Rogers married Miss Jennie
Blackburn of this place, and she pre-
ceded him in death In 1025. They
had no children of their own, but
had an adopted daughter, who Is
still living here and who is Mrs,
E S. Burnett. After the death ofj
Mrs. Rogers her husband was later
united in marriage to Mrs. M R
Fuller, who survives him. He Is also
survived by two sisters w*ho live In
Georgia.
The Presbyterian church had no
more faithful worker than Mr. Rog-
ers, and for 25 years or more he was
the faithful Sunday school superin-
tendent there. He was one of the
elders, and lent himself unstintedly
to the work of his church and to the
highest welfare of his community in!
every way.
Another good man has lived out
his span of years, but with a heri-
tage left behind that will abide for
time and eternity. Mr. Rogef.s was
a good man, and a normally cheer-
ful one, trying to become a beneficent
influence upon each one with whom
he came into contact. He had lived
longer than the three score and ten
years allotted to man, and he has
gone now to a rich reward in the
world to come.

J. P. Hardin of Round Timber was
in Monday to renew his Banner, and
his visit was all the more welcome
j account of the fact that he pre-
dicted rain for this week. Mr. Har-
din is Baylor county's most reliable
weather prophet. Whenever the In-
dication* are right he I* good, but
for the past several weeks he hu
not had much chance. J. P. Is a man
who has the best Interests of his
county at heart and he does not like
to predict dry weather all the time,
but here lately he has not had very
much choice.l We hope from now
on he will have more opportunity to
predict rain.
