We, the undersigned, endorsed by this Association say the same
thing all the time. We are unable to run down and deny every false
statement that is circulated.
We stand for making a budget and sticking to it, and giving a
strict accounting of all expenditures in a way that every tax payer will
know what work we did and how much it has cost, so that they may
judge of our efficiency and competency.
We stand pledged to carry out in a businesslike way the road pro-
gram in its entirety for which the bonds were voted, without preference *
for any road and NOT TO SLIGHT ANY.
We stand pledged to use the 15c tax, which was voted to build
cross roads, solely and entirely for that purpose. We intend to devote
all of our time to the office, which we recognize as a full-size man’s
job, and our only compensation will be the salary allowed us by law,
and the appreciation of the people for services well done. We are not
interested in anything that conflicts with our duty to the county.
In buying supplies every dealer in the community will be asked to
submit prices, and we will exercise the utmost economy and fairness
in small as in large matters.
All rumors and charges contrary to above are not true. The fol-
lowing are absolutely false: that we intend to raise the farmer’s tax as-
sessments; to spend the road money in the city; to destroy the road
building program.
More than 70 of the best Democrats of the county induced us t<3
,run and their names were published with an address to the voters in
the morning papers. Despite this fact our opponents persist in stating
only a very few selected us/ To shoy thp falsity of this statement we
here reproduce the names of the men who endorsed our candidacy and
who are actively supporang us with hundreds of others:

Occupancy of New Baptist
Home; Pastor Pomded.
Suppose, dear reader, that for the
moment you imagine pourself to be
a preacher or a preacher’s wife, as
the case may be. Suppose that
about 8 o'clock tonight you heard a
jangling af the door bell, a hilarious
uproar and a babel of voices on the
front porch; and that when you
stepped to the door to investigate
you found about a hundred of your
noisy flock, of all ages and sizes, as-
sembled there with a traveling com-
missray of pork and beans and
potted ham, sacks of flower and
baskets of potatoes, buckets of milk
and bowls of butter, cans of fruit
and jars of jelly, chow-chow, jam,
pickles and preserves. In this time
of high prices and lean pantries,
wouldn’t you be kind of flabbergast-
ed at first, and wouldn’t such a sight
kind of take your breath away for
joy.
Well, that is just what happened
at the new home of Rev. H. C. Bass,
pastor of the First Baptist Church,
cm North Catherine street. It was
a large scale celebration of that
ancient and honorable institution
known as the “ pastors pounding.” 8*x weeks cleared them all out. I
But numerous enthusiastic pound- Killed them by the score every
be “ many more occasions just like
this one;” whereupon, seeing the
merriment he had provoked, he ex-
plained that he had reference solely
and exclusively to the social joys of
the evening. Like the notorious
swearer who found himself “unequal
to the occasion” when his wagon
load of watermelons overturned on
the hillside and bursted cm the
rocks, the eloquent preaeder awoke
to a realization of his deficiences in
this emergency; then he called upon
Mrs. Bass, who came gracefully to
the rescue and in the most dimm-
ing manner thanked the house full
erf people for what they had done.
In this manner and a much
longer article, the Terrill Transcript
erf June 25th told of the nice treat-
ment of Rev. and Mrs. Bass. Lan-
caster friends are rejoiced at this
evidence of appreciation of this
splendid pastor and wife.
Miss Mattie Crabtree Saturday
morning stating, that her sister, Mrs.
A. W. Rice. died on the Monteagle
after leaving Kobe, Japan, and was
burled at Yokohama, Japan. Just
this short message, and that Miss
Mary Bissett, who Vas accompaning
Mrs Rice home, had relumed to
China, was all the information re-
ceived, and a letter is anxiously
aweited.
Kate Rice was born in Virginia,
January 19th, 1845. and came to
Texas with her parents at the age
of ten years. The family located
near Ferris, and resided there con-
tinuously. On November 14,1871,
she was married to A. W. Rice.
Two young daughters were in this
home, Elizabeth, now Mrs Parson,
of La Junta, Col., and Miss Mary
Lou Rice of Lancaster; two sons
were beam to this union, Bennie, the
younger dying in infancy, and the
older, Rev. A. D. Rice, missionary to
China, died at his station, Haichon
May 31. 1919.
Eleven years ago Mrs. Rice, Miss
Mary Lon Rice and Miss Mattie
Crabtree came to Lancaster to make
their home, and by their sweet
Christian characters and womanly
dignity have won the highest re-
spect and love of all. For Mrs.
Rice in her widowhood and the giv-
ing of her son to China, there was a
feeling of reverence.
Rev. Rice, wife and children came
from China on their furlough and
spent several months here. They
were anxious to return to their
„ ••
work; Mrs. Riee wanted to accom-
pany her son, and he wanted to
take her. so notwithstanding her
advanced years, and very feeble
health, the trip was undertaken and
made, leaving Lancaster April 30,
1917.
After her son's death Mrs. Rice
wanted to come home, believing
her health would be better, and ac-
companied by Miss Mary Bjssett.
sister of Mrs. A. D. Rice, who is in
China studying for mission work
sailed on June 8th, or that was the
date set for saHing in letters receiv-
ed here. What transpired between,
the announced date of sailing and
the receiving of the death message
July 2nd, will be revealed in the
letter to come. But ctf this she left
the assurance, that of her eternal
home she had no doubt, and as to
the resting place of her body, wheth-
