tis and Prof. Haynie went for her in
Guy’s car, arriving back home about
five o’clock. The news of the tragic
death of her oldest son was a severe
and crushing blow to Mrs. Moore and
she collapsed in the poignancy of her
grief, and has been under medical
treatment ever since. (
The funeral services were held at
the city cemetery Monday evening at'
3:30 o’clock and one of the largest
funeral processions ever seen in this
city followed the remains to their
last resting place. Revs. Wallace
Bassett, J. B. Gober and J. E. Hinman
paid fitting tributes to the manly lit-
tle fellow’s life, and offered as a balm
to VxfTheart-broken parents and sor-
rowing relatives and friends the glori-
ous promises of a life beyond the
grave. ^
A sad, pitiful, yet sweet and beauti-
ful si&ht was that of a number of
Paul’s little friend* and playmates
placing beautiful flowers upon his
grave—their grief was real and their
tears were mingled with those^ whose
hearts were torn and bleeding.
t The Gazette’s deepest and truest
sympathies go out to the heart-broken
mother, father and relatives, and
while we know that only God can heal
their wounds, we feel that their grief
should be softened in th^ thoughts
that “He that giveth hath taken
away,” and that the spirit of _ little
Paul has been wafted home, into the
keeping of Him who said: ’“Suffer
the liftle children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for of such is
the Kingdom of Heaven.”

A pall of sorrow spread ovpr . our
city Sunday at noon as the sad and
shocking news of the death of little
Paul Moore, by drowning, was passed
among our people.
Paul was the 12-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. O. L. Moore. He had gone
to Sunday school that morning, then
took a ride on his wheel; in company
with Tom and Eck Mays and onp of
Mr. Shurley’s little boys he went out
into R. a. Thornton’s pasture, one
mile south of town, to gather jfiew-
berries and flowers; they came up

Paul proposed that they go^in swim-
ming; it was rather cold, and the
other boys were also afrai^ ^the pool
was too deep, but Paul had been in
the pool last summer and it was not
then over his head; so he stripped off
his Clothes and waded in, some of the
boys begging him not to go in. He
waded out and suddenly stepped into
deep water, going out of sight; the
boys thought he was only playtog
and had sat down in the water, but
when they saw him come strug-
gling and go down a second lime,
they became alanried, but they were
all powerless to render him assist-
ance, and soon sarw him go down for
the third and last time. They then
ran to Mrs. Spence’s, E, L. Kellogg’s
and Tom Milam’s and sounded the
alarm.
E. L. Kellogg and Tom King were
the first to beach the pool. Dr. Long
had been reached by ’phone and
made the trip out 49 the pool in
something like three minutes, run-
ning his car at top speed. E. L.

TjHE BIG MEETING 8T^RTS OFF /
The big revival meeting which was
to have begun Sunday did not open
formally until vlast night, Evangelist
Lockett Adair 'having been detained
to his meeting at Van Alstyne, where
he was having such splendid success
the people of that city prevailed on
him to continue over several days.
A large congrega tion was gathered
at the Coliseum Su nday morning ex-
pecting to hear Rev. Adair, but Rev.
Gober announced that he could not
be with us until Thursday night, and
then introduced Eld. Cephas Shel-
burne, of Dallas, Pastor of the Christi-
an church of this city. Eld. Shel-
burne’s'sermon wan a masterful one
and held his vast audience (of per-
haps two thousand people) in rapt
attention. V_.A^ •'
Eld. Shelburne preached again Sun-
day night, and again the large CoU-
seum was packed irith the represen-
tative people of oar cit^, representing
every denomination. His sermon Sun-
day night was on Nt*ove,” and it has,
never been/our pleasure to heal*tfm
more logical, mojre forceful /and
beautiful message on that crowning
virtue of the Christian life, without
which religion^ is biit a sham and an
empty mockery. . ' ! (
Eld. Shelburne expressed his re-
gret that bis work made it impossi-
ble for him to remain over and keep
the meeting going until Rev. Adair
arrived, but promised to come back
during the meeting •'and lend what-
ever assistance he could. So, the
meeting was adjourned until last
night. . jv •
Rex. Lockett Adair arrived here
yesterday afternoon and preached his
first sermon here last night, to an
immense congregation. His opening
sermon was one of preparation for
the great work he has laid out before
him, but h^displayed much originali-
ty and a strong personality. Rev.
Adair is hrithout question one of the
most successful evangelists * in the
South, and wherever he goes the
’cause of Christianity is greatly bene-
ted and many soul* are led to Christ.
Let us hope that: his work in Sul-
phur Springs will be no exception to
the rule, and that the meeting now
in progress may be the b©3t and most
fruitful of results s our fair city has
ever had.
It matters not what creed or faith
you adhere to, if you standx for
Christianity and a higher and better
civilisation, you should lend the.
meeting your full co-operation. 1 '
