OBITUARY OF GEORGE A. HIN-
NANT.
To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
and Brethren of Sulphur Bluff Lodge
No. 246 A. F. & A. M..
We your committee on resolutions
with respect to the memory of Bro.
Geo. A. Hinnant, who departed tihs
life on March 27th 1913, beg leave to
submit the following:
Bro. Geo. A. Hinnant was bom June
25th, in the sate of Alabama, came to
Texas, in the year 1855, with his par-
ents and settled at Daingerfield. He
served four years in the Confederate
army and on August 12th 1867, he was
married to Mary E. Woods. He leaves
The N. E. T. District Union in joint
conference over the state meeting at
Austin, San Antonio and Laredo.
The writer with eight other dele-
gates from Hopkins County, repre-
senting the N. E. T. District Farmers
Union, left over the Cotton Belt for
FL Worth, May the 4th, arriving at
8 p. m., where we were joined by a
large number of delegates from the
various counties of Texas. The dele-
gates left over the M. K. & T. for
Austin, arriving in Austin at 5 p. m.
where the first session of the Union
was called to convene. The conven-
tion was called to order May 5th, at
3.6:30 a.m. by district president J. E
Pearson, with 300 delegates present.
J. E. Pearson delivered a short and
able address amid wild applause.
Mr. Moore, representing the mayor,
delivered the welcome address, fol-
lowed by Mr. Williams, president of
the Chamber of Commerce. State
Superintendent Br&illey addressed
the convention on the subject of
education and the Importance of build-
ing better schools in the rural dis-
tricts, bo as to give the country boy
and girl equal opportunities with the
city cousins, stating that seventy
thousand children do not attend
school. Forty-five out of one hundred
pupils do not attend the school In the
rural districts. Mr. Brailley favored
the improvement of our normal
schools of industrial arts for
girls, believing that it is as necessary
for the young girl to learn the art of
cooking as to sing a solo, favors the
maintenance of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. Gov. Colquitt
arrived and was greeted with pro-
longed applause, he spoke in behalf
of the farmer and our public institu-
tions, favoring the warehouse system
and placing the county officials on
salaries.
The governor was feeling fine and
delivered a most able address, which
was greatly appreciated by the con-
vention.
Hon. Hiram Glass was called for
and responded with a few well chosen
words and paid a tribute to the far-
mer for manifesting a greater inter-
est in public affairs, showing that they
pay 80 per cent, of the expense of the
government, and says he should have
a voice in the administration of pub-
lic affairs. The convention adjourned
until 2:30 p. m. and was called to or-
der promptly on the hour by Pres. J.
E. Pearson. The Divine blessing was
invoked by Bro. J. F. Bobo, of Lamar
county, and the convention was de-
clared ready for the transaction of
business. Much important business
was transacted and the convention
adjourned until 8 p. m.
The convention reconvened in ex-
ecutive session. After completing
our labors the body called on R. R.
Commissioner Mayfield at his office
relative to cotton rates in Texas. Af-
ter our conference with the commis-
sioner the body met and arranged to
depart for San Antonio. The dele-
gates left over the I. & G. N. for San
Antonio, where the convention held a
business session. The Chamber of
Commerce gave a hearty welcome to
their city and royally entertained the
body. The delegates were shown over
the city and out to the noted truck
farm of Mar. Collins, consisting of
170 acres under irrigation, fed from a
well flowing an eight inch tream. At
the close of our business session we
arranged to leave for Laredo, where
we held another session. We were
met by the business men and were ta-
ken to view the great onion district
of Laredo. Our first was at the Da-
vis onion farm, one of the largest in
the South, all under the Skinner ir-
rigation system. Mr. Davis was in
the midst of harvest, and was get-
ting a yield'of 600 crates per acre,
50 pound crates. The onions were the
Bermuda variety. Laredo in 1912
shipped 2,300 cars. This season has
shipped 1,500. Fanners were not
shipping owing to the low prices.
The convention was called to order
at the Elks Hall at 2 p. m. After
completing our labors the conven-
tion adjourned, having appointed com-
mittees and formulated plans for the
marketing of cotton and fruIL
Many of the delegates visited Mex-
ico at 8 p. m. The Elks and progres-
sive business men called the house to
order and announced that they^had
arranged to entertain the delegated
Speeches were made by the business
men of Laredo and responded to by J.
E. eParson and others upon co-opera-
tion in marketing our products and a
closer relation with the business men
and the producer. At the close of the
speaking the president of the Board of
Trade of Laredo announced that re-
freshments would be served and the
delegates were ushered into the hall
where a splendid luncheon with cold
drinks was served. The multitude
was filled and many baskets of frag-
ments were gathered up. The people
of Laredo will ever be held in the
highest esteem by the delegates pres-
enL
After bidding the citizens adieu and
assuring them we had spent a pleas-
CON- ant time in their city the delegates
left at 7:30 a. m. for home, having
traveled 1,200 miles viewing some
fine country and splendid crops and
good towns, yet old Hopkins and her
splendid citizenship looks good to us.

BELIEVE8 IN HELL.
We noted in the dally papers a few
days ago that a preacher over in East
Texas was preaching an old-fashioned
fire and brimstone hell, and the fact
that he was doing this was consider-
ed so strange and out of the ordinary
that a big headline was given the
item.
The editor of the News is a firm
believer in a red-hot hell, with brim-
stone galore as one of the ingredients.
We believe that the Scriptures teach
this in unmistakable terms, and if it
did not there is plenty of other and
secular evidence that hell is an eco-
nomic necessity. If there is not a

CONTRACTED SMALLPOX FROM
BURGLAR.
A grown son and a fifteen-year old
d&ughter of Dol Blackburn, a well-
known farmer at Reno, developed
smallpox a few days ago a&d one of
them was seriously ill for a little
while, but both of them are now get-
ting along all right and are expected
to recover soon, although they have
very pronounced cases of the disease.
The family have been considerably^
puzzled as to how they contracted the
smallpox, aa they had not been away
anywhere visiting, but it is supposed
that they contracted it in an unex-
pected manner from aa unknown
tramp.
About two weeks ago members of
the family were awakened at 12
o’clock in the house by bearing a
noise in the house, and the young man
got out of bed and made an investi-
gation, He discovered a burglar sit-
ting at the table in the dining room
eating.
Rheumatism Quickly Cured.
"My sister’s husband had an attack
of rheumatism in his arm,” writes a
well known resident of Newton, Iowa.
“I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Liniment which he applied to his arm
On the next morning the rheuma-
tism was gone.” For chronic muscu-
lar rheumatism you will find nothing
better than Chamberlain’s Liniment.
