Death of Centenarian.
J. R. Cooney, who Is said to have
been between 100 and 110 years of
age, died Saturday afternoon about 4
o’clock knd was buried Sunday in the
Cemetery at Buckner. This old,gen-
tleman had been living at the same
place in the Buckner community for
34 years and nad pursued the even
tenor of hls way, superintending his
farm work until the last few years.
He was born In Dublin, Ireland, and
served in the federal army In the war
between the states. He was twice mar-
ried, his first wife going to her .reward
some thirty years ago. The second
time he was married to a Mrs. Allison,
and together they have journeyed
down the hill of time. He is also sur-
vived by three sons and one daugh-
ter. Outside of the Buckner commun-
ity, we dare stjy that few people In
the county knew of this centenarian,
so quietly bad he lived.

ENGINE RUN TOGETHER
Oscar Harris and H. A. Brunson, of

to a serious automobile accident on
Thursday morning at Lambert as they
attempted to cross thei, Texas k Pac-
ific track. Mr. Harris was on the

or hear the approaching freight train.
The weather was cool and Mr. Harris
had the side curtains to the car closed
and was right on the track before he
knew there was danger ahead. The
engine struck the frogt of the car,
lifted it in the air and threw It some
ten feet from the track, the car light-
ing on the top, the wheels in the air.
Harris and Brunson was able to crawl

erably bruised and shaken up. Mr.
Harris was not able to go out on hls

GRADES OF THE 'MID-
TERM 8ENIOR CLAS8.
The committee in adding the grades
made by the members of the mid-term
class of the High school, found that
Florence Louise Edgar made an aver-
age grade of 93.77, Ruth Chandler
92.85, Harry Lee made a grade of 92.5
and Robert Lowe 89.14. When we
consider that 75 is a passing grade,
we realize the quality of work done
by these pupils during four years
High school. There were a number of
others In the class who made good
grades but these were the highest.

Justice Hodgest placed against him at
preliminary hearing Thursday after-

Brannan and his brother-in-law
camped Wednesday night at the
church near Dicey, leaving Thursday
morning, traveling north, visiting the
homes in thB section to purchase old
rags. It was' shout noon when he got
to the Roberts place, some four or
five miles north of Dicey. No one
was at home there, so he'went to the
barn and finding the granary door
ajar, he put about a half bUBhel of
oats in a sack, took them to his
wagon and proceeded on his journey.
iLee Roberts and W. H. McCleskey had
been doing some surveying not far
from the house and noticed Brannan
leaving the place with a sack on his
shoulder, so Mr. Roberts immediately
phoned for the officers and Frank
Etier and Barker went out and caught
the parties just after they had left
tbe Azle road going toward Fort
Worth by Mary’s Creek. Brannan ad-
mitted getting the oats, so he was
brought to Weatherford and a case
of burglary filed against him.

from New Tori
Below' we reproduce a letter
from Mr. Poston, who, with
several other of our buyers, is
in New York, buying our stock
of Merchandise for Spring and
Summer, 1917. The letter is
so full of interest that we believe
our friends will enjoy it with us:
NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 1917.
To the Salesfolks, Baker-Poston & Co., Weatherford,
Texas. > ■'
Dear Homefolks:—I know you folks in the store
will be interested in hearing something abont all the
new things to wear that we ate buying for the spring
season.
In view of the fact that we will have so much more
room in our store than we formerly had, we are buying
many new lines of goods that we have never bought
before.
Just hqre will say that never before in our long
business career, have we foupd merchandise so beau-
tiful. The New Silks, Fabrics, White Goods and Dress
Materials generally are very, very rieh, bright and
beautiful. Favored colors include Gold, Rose, Chart-
reuse, Apple Green, Tea Blue and a wide range of beau-
tiful patterns and colors in sport goods,
t Khaki Kooi Cloth and Shantung are two new fab-
rics that are being shown a great deal.
Fancy Silk Hosiery for Ladies are very strong for
spring and we have bought a big stock of them.
We are also buying a big stock of Staple and Fancy
Notions and Novelties for our big new Notions Depart-
ment; also, a big stock of High Grade Toilet Goods.
We expect to make this Notions Department one of the
^ big departments of our new store. . * >,
Have bought quite a large line of Ladies’ Silk
Undergarments, too.
We are buying an immense stock of Ladies and
Misses Ready-to-Wear and Millinery for our big new
Ladies’ Store.
New Coat Suits in all the latest styles, colors and
fabrics. A great many sport styles are being shown in
Coat Suits; in fact, the sport idea se^ms to be strong
in all wearables. New Suits^of Khaki Kool Cloth, Shan-4
tung, Jersey, §ilk Jersey and all the other fabrics.
Have bought lots of New Coats, Skirts, Waists and
Dresses and'they are all very, very beautiful. In fact,
our new Ladies’ Ready-to-Wear and Millinery Store
will open up with a stock of goods that will compare
very favorably with those of any of theiig city stores.
The Millinery for spring is espeically attractive, and we
are buying the largest stock we ever bought. Our Mil-
linery Department will rank with the best in Texas.
We are also looking out for the needs of the men
folks. •
Snappy new styles in Spring Suits, in the newest
models. Norfolks and Pinch Backs are very strong in
Young Men’s Clothing. Then, we are buying new Spring
Shirts, Ties, Hosiery, Underwear, Hats, Gloves, Etc.,
for the Men and Boys.
The new Shoe Store will be filled with all that’s
newest and best for Spring ’17.
I feel very enthusiastic about the plans for our
newer and bigger store, and we are certainly buying a .
wonderful stock of goods for it.
We are all well and happy, and hope you are all the
same. With regards to all the folks in the store, I am,
Yours,
