From Rockwood.
Rock wood, March 23.—Early
Sunday morning news reached
lere that Capt. Hayes of Waldrip
was dead. No details are known
other than he had been ill for
several days. Capt. Hayes has
l>een a resident of Coleman
County for a nnmber of years,
probably being among the oldest
citizens.
Dr. and Mrs. E. B. Newsom
were delighted to have as their
pieston Saturday last week,
japt. Bob Harper, who is now
iving Wtyh his son, Mr. Will
Harper at poublegates. Capt
Harper is a veteran of the Civil
War, has been a devoted son of
the South for nearly seventy-five
years, and his talks of his ear-
ier manhood days are a source
of much delight to his hearers.
Among other interesting things,
he can tell of some interesting
Mrs. G. W. Dunlap and little
son, of Ballinger, came to Cole-
man last Thursday, remaining
over Sunday and returning Tues-
day. They were the guests of
Judge and Mrs. T. J. White.
Mrs. W. J. Coulson and little,
daughter, Mary, left Tuesday
for Dallas and will stay rest of
the week.
Mrs. C. M. Alexander and
daughter, Miss Amelia, are
spending the week in Dallas.
Mr. J. C. Wilder, of Hunting-
ton, Tenn., came last Thursday
on a visit to his son, Mr. John
Wilder, and to accompany Mr
and Mrs. John Wilder to Llano,
where they go for change hoping
Mr. Wilder may recover more
rapidly..
Mrs. Jane Robins and daugh-
ter, Miss Lue, spent last week
with their daughter and sister,
Mrs. J. P. Morris,.'______
Master Albert Gilloii, while
playing with srtall boys on Sat-
urday afternoon, fell from a car-
riage shed and was badly stun-
ned. The quick thoughtful aid
of Miss Eula Gipson in reviving
Albert and phoning for a physi-
cian and his parents was much
appreciated.
Miss Janie Strickland, who
has been visiting Mrs. R. V.
Wood for the past week, left for
her home in Tuskalosa, Ala.,
Wednesday.
Mrs. W. F. Murray returned
two years since they were in
Coleman and the very best enter-
tainment was planned by the
hostess—that of social inter-
course, and without apparent
effort, kept the guests mingled
so that a pleasant chat was en-
joyed with each one present.
There is one time, at least, that
the men can’t say of us that we
all talk at once, and that time
came on that afternoon when
Mrs. Morris served so bountiful-
ly white and pink ice cream in
bricks, with fruit cake. Prince
Albert cake, and white cake. All
lingered as long as possible for
Mrs. Robins and Miss Sue felt
abliged to return to their home
at San Angelo on Saturday.
On Saturdny afternoon last
the Girls Study Club were enter-
tained by their much loved hon-
orary, member, Mrs. H.I.O'Hair.
After their regular lesson, Mrs.
O’Hair passed around cards with
the wo”d violets written at the
top and underneath were four-
teen questions to be answered

Coleman, Texas, March 21.—
In obedience to a call issued to.
the democrats of this county who
believe in supporting the nomi-
nees of the democratic party and
who are opposed to the fight now
being made in this state on our
efficient, senator, Hon. J. W. Bai-
ley, a large and enthusiastic
crowd assembled at the court-
house today. The meeting was
called to order by J. K. Baker,
who stated the object of the
meeting. Nominations for chair-
man of this meeting were then
called for and J. 0. Woodward
was unanimously elected. W. Z.
Champion was elected secretary.
Judga Woodward on accepting
the chair made a feeling and elo-
quent address and stated that
it was not the object of the meet-
ing to stir up strife and hate, but
to promote good will and con-
certed action on the part of the
democratic party in upholding the
principles of democracy as laid
down by our fathers.
