We asked our friend, Mrs. E. H.
Coffey, who attended the Baptist Con-
vention last week to give ns a write
up of the greatest gathering of its
kind ever held in Dallas. She said:
“She was like the man who wrecked
his wagon load of eggs on the road-
side, some of his load parting com-
pany and going in many ways with
varying conditions of disaster. Some
''boys were standing near, with baited
breath, to see and knowhow he would
recover. When he looked aghast at
the dissolution of his profits, and
shouted, “I can’t do the subject jus-
tice.” “She couldn’t do the great
convention justice. It was grand,
the whole thing from start to finish,
and she stayed ’till the gavel sounded.
In this, the 20th century, it was great
to be a Baptist and live and move in a
grand and live organization spreading
sunshine, comfort and “Good will to
all men.”
The Gazette office acknowledges
the receipt of a large boquet of beau-
tiful flowers presented last Saturday
by the ladies of the Christian chnrch.
At all times, we appreciate these
emblems of love and parity, and es-
pecially the more this kind remem-
berance, coming as it does from the
genuine and loyally true of earth, the
noble Christian women whose every
lead impels us on to higher and better
lives. In contemplating this beauti-
fully arranged gift of fragrance we
thought how soon would its tender
petals fall, and its exquisite aroma pass
away, but the motive that prompted
its deliverance would live when the
hands that prepared it had grown
cold and the spirit that invoked it had
passed to higher joys.
for a New Railroad.
Col. J. W. Bishop, of St. Louis, and
Hon. N. P. Doak, of Clarksville, were
here Wednesday to meet with a com-
mittee of our citizens in regard to the
building of the Memphis, Paris & Gulf
Railroad into Sulphur Springs. The
matter was gone over with the fol
lowing committeemen: B. F. Ash
croft, Jno. D. Williams, E. B. Pate, J
O. Mitchell, D. Thornton, W. F. Skill
man, Jno. T. Hargrove, W. A. Bu
ford, W. A. Smith, W. D. Smith, R
B. Keasler, F. W. Mack and O. M
Pate, and it was decided to call a
mass-meeting of our people at the
court house this evening at 3 o’clock
when the railroad’s proposition wil
be formally put up to the people of
our town, and, if we want the road
and are willing to do our part, WE
CAN GET IT.
There has been lots of railroad talk,
and we have often been “threatened”
with being run over by a new railroad
and when the proposition was looked
into it vanished away into nothing
ness, however, the people will not be
called upon to pass on such a propo
sition to-day; the company that has
laid a proposition before us, is a real
live and absolutely reliable company,
and there is now but one question as
to whether or not we can get the raiL
road, and that hinges on whether or
not we are willing to do OUR PAR'
by the company. We believe the peo
pie of Sulphur Springs will not allow
this proposition to pass; we believe
they will realize the importance o:!
securing this road and when the time
comes readily meet the requirements
necessary to get it.
Let every enterprising citizen of our
town be present at the meeting to
morrow evening.

On Tuesday night, November 9th,
Rev. and Mrs. Bryan entertained the
stewards of the Methodist chnrch at
the parsonage with an elegant dinner
served in five courses in admirable
style by Mrs. Bryan, assisted by Miss
Monntcastle, daughter of the Presid
ing Elder. While this dinner marked
the close of the Stewards meetings
for the year, it was one of the hap-
piest occasions that the officials of
the church have had for a number of
years, and the praise given Rev.
Bryan for concieving such a nice en-
tertainment for the Stewards and the
compliments tendered Mrs. Bryan for
the splendid execution of it in every
detail showed how the guests enjoyed
and appreciated the efforts of the
host and hostess to make the enter
tainment pleasant and memorable.
At the appointed hour every Stew-
ard, except two, were present and
with Presiding Elder Monntcastle
were ushered into the dining room
where covers for twenty were laid
and an excellent five course dinner
was served. At the table the gueBts
participated in much good natured
humor, reminiscence and discussion
of church work and current events
After coffee had been served the
Stewards repaired to the parlors
where final reports were made, and
the business for the year finally ar-
ranged. According to the reports
this has been one of the most success-
ful and satisfactory years of the
church’s history. Each Steward has
been diligent and active in the dis.
charge of his duties and much harmo-
ny of action has been all along mani-
festedin the work. At the conclu-
sion of the evenings work, the Board
of Stewards requested County Attor
ney Dial to thank the host and host-
ess for the pleasures of the evening,
which was done in a brief bnt appro-
priate manner. Those present were:
Presiding Elder Mountcastle, Dr. S.
B. Longino, Chairman of the Board
of Stewards, Chas, Ashcroft, Secre-
tary of the Board, Dr. W. W. Long,
T. C. McCorkle, J. R. Longino, Zollie
Tramel, 8am Sheppard, J. A. Dial,
Judge Keasler, E. G. Gilbert, J. B.
Davis, Prof. Garrison, W.- S. Mitchell,
Hub Thomas, Jim Thomas, L. E. Gee,
J. M. Colquitt, H. W. Tapp, C. A.
Sweeton aud E. P. Greenwood, the
remaining members being absent on
account of being out of the city. The
Board is very thankful to onr pastor
and his wife and shall long remember
this happy occasion. Onr best wishes
and abiding interest will follow these
good pepple wherever they go.
* A Guest.
In Memory of Lester Higgins.
While Lester ■ resided in our midst
but a short while, his stay was long
enough for us to appreciate his worth.
Though he was studious and attentive
to his dnties at school, he always
found time to be punctual and at-
tentive in Snnday school, with a well
prepared lesson, ever active in the
interest of his class. And when he
departed from onr midst, we deeply
felt the loss, though little did we
think he would so soon join the Class
Eternal.
Lester’s friends in Paris were
numbered by his acquaintances, whom
be always met with a smile and a
hearty hand-shake. His career in
life was an assured^ success. But the

Notice.
I am now with the Worsham &
Williams Grocery Co., located in the
old postofflce building on north side
of Connally street, where I would like
to me9t all my old customers and
many new ones. Ewell Melton.
of, therefore, we submit to the will of |
Him who doeth all things well.
We hereby express, through the
columns of his home paper, to his j
relatives and friends, onr heart-felt]
sympathy, committing them in this
dark hoar of their bereavement into |
the hands and care of onr Heavenly
Father, believing as we do, that all
brave and kindly deeds and all noble i
thoughts are immortal, and that j
sometime and somewhere in the j
future, all the virtues that we ap-
preciated in onr friend Lester, will be
gathered by the same Power that de-
prived us of their present pleasure.
This but reminds us of the frailty of
the span that separates us from the
unknown sea. The sweetest flower j
which sheds its fragrance among the |
sons of men, wither and fade away
with the sighings of the wind; the]
most majestic oak that ever nodded
ts defiance to the storm, at last de-
cays and meekly bows its head to I
the angry tempest. Men may ascend
the dizzy heights of fame, and it may
or a moment, dazzle the eyes of j
i;he world, but only for a moment,
for death steps in, and without sol
much as lieve to bid farewell, they
are gone.
The most beautiful thought which |
ever found lodgment in the human
mind is:
Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Ueyond the smiling and the weeping,
beyond the rock waste and the river,
Jeyond the ever and the never,
We shall find love, rest and home.
