A Correction.
Another one of those minor er-
rors. common to printing offices,
crept in our columns last week.
The following appeared in the
Thurlier items:
“Mr. Fenn.the fireman on the
local switch engine, had one of
his feet Ixidly scalded several
days ago,and is slightly crippled,
O. P. Clark and Miss May Pat-
ton, Stephenville.
temiHirarily.’’ .
The two lines relating to Mr.
Clark and Miss Patton should
have been placed under the head
of Marriage Licenses, "and then
the wdrd "temporarily" would
have appeared in connection with
the crippled condition of Mr.
Flenn, where it belonged.

T. G. Funk who had been sick
for several days was able to / c-
company his father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Funk.to their
home near Selden last week,
where he will recuperate until
strong enough to resume his du-
ties in the Cage & Crow bank.

" C. E. Darnell and family are
again happily ensconsed in their
old home at Selden and we un-
derstand that the Selden country
looks better to him than it did
when he moved to Oklahoma.
They are good folks and all of us
are glad to have them in Eratl
again.
"T: A. Latta reports the fifth
Sunday meeting as having been
fine, although only 14 board mem-
bers attended. The January
meeting will be at Valley Grove,
which is more centrally located,
and he thinks a much larger rep-
tation of the county board
be in evidence.

Saturday Nov. 12 will be a big
day at Bluffdale. It will be
"Trades Day" and next weeks
Empire will tell more about it.
Watch for it.
George Foster and wife of Mor
gan Mill were callers at this of-
fice Wednesday morning; they
had the name of Mrs. Florence
Foster. Lone Camp Texas added
to the Umpire list for 12 months.
Sol Frank is here this week
looking as fine and handsome as
ever. He says the women of
California, like those of Texas,
admire good looking men such as
he: but he does not let it make
him egotistical. Mr. Frank’sjol-
ly disposition is always manifest,
and it makes one glad to be
thrown in his company.
J. A. Cowan of Kirkland is the
sort of man the Empire delights
to commend. He settled an old
account with this office by money
order a few days since, which
could not have been won in the
courts, explaining that hard luck
had prevented and earlier adjust-
ment.
/-'Mrs. S. N. Borders, secretary
of the United Charities, reports
an interesting session held at
Mrs. J. B. Keith’s home Tuesday
with good attendance. Nineteen
new members within the last ten
days. Next meeting will be in
the Mayors office, Nov. 22 at 3
p. m. All interested jn the work
are invited to come. v
A letter from Oklahoma ad-
dressed to the late Mrs. J. S.
Little reached here one day last
week. It proved to be from Bus-
ter Little, the son who could not
be located at the time of his
mothers death, a few months
since. He had not heard that
his best friend, to whom
writing, had passed from
aoenes. Poor boy! Sad
was the message which his
reaved father had to send him
by return mail.

still in progress at Waco. All
the letters were written prior to
the death of her husband. Two
of the letters contain fervid dec-
larations of love for two differ-
ent men, other than Mr.Streight.
The other one is to Mr. Streight,
alleged to have been written dur-
ing their temporary separation.
It reads as follows:
10:30 a. m. Tuesday—My Dar-
ling, oh my Darling: Ne.ver did
my poor heart suffer so at a sep-
aration. 1 cannot bear it I be-
lieve I will just die, but oh, my
darling, my Ernest, I will try to
be brave so you can be. My heart
and head are bursting. Darling,
I am really sick. I was not pre-
tending, but sick. Never, never,
was a man loved like I love you,
darling, you sweet, noble, good
husband. As soon as you were
gone 1 went and fell on my knees
by the sofa and begged God to
read my heart and restore you to
me soon. Oh if He will only hear
me I will be a happy woman yet.
1 cannot get any work done. It
seems that my limbs refuse to
move. 1 went out and swept, or
tried to, the front yard, but I
could not stay out there. I can’t
stay anywhere. 0|i,darling,hur-
ry back to me, 1 know you will,
and God help us to bury all the
miserable past and live for the
future, noble, pure and true.
This is my aim, darling, my de-
sire, my ambition. With you 1
will be all that is pure and good.
Without you 1 will die, Oh, 1
wonder if this love was sent to
me to make me suffer. Surely no
wrong I have ever done justified
such an awful suffering as
this separation causes me. I have
certainly suffered enough in the
past few weeks to make repara-
tion for any sin. God is just and
1 will keep asking for help in my
life’s greatest of all desires. I
is of you, and no matfer what
you may see or hear to make you
think I am deceiving you, ask
me, darling, I will tell you the
truth. My life of deception and
unfaithfulness is over. Honor is
my watchword, for by living that
I still have you yet, and with no
hope of you, I will give up and
die. I will not live away from
you. This is postive. I can’t do
jt darling. I realize it so forci-
bly this morning. Now I must
quit. Surelv after this little talk.
I can get some work done. Write
darling, often. With love pure,
true, I am your loving, loving,
Minnie Lee.
Written on the margin: I wrote
darling, because my heart prompt-
ed it, and I had to. I won’t get
to tomorrow, and I had to. Love
me, darling, sweetly, like I da
you. God bless and keep you
for me. ’ ’
Sheriff Bates Cox and County
Attorney L. 0. Cox spent Wed-
nesday in Thurber on court busi-
ness. Isidore Carsa, charged
with violating local option law,
came back with them and enter-
ed a plea of guilty and was fined
$25 and 20 days in jail. Dora
Guest, recently arrested at Dub-
lin for violating local option, also
entered a plea of guilty and was
fined $25 and 25 days.
Otto Moates says he has had
two hard years of it,but is thank-
ful that times are not really hard-
er than they are. He impresses
us as a man who intends to wade
into 1911 with all his might, un-
terrified by the small yields of
the past two years, and strive
for a bumper crop. Thats the
spirit that wins and the Empire
will expect to hear good neWM
from this young Morgan Mjll
farmer next fall.

proved farm of 8(5 acres near De-
