MISS STERLING IS
WED AT MANSION
AUSTIN, Dec. 18.—Miss Norma
Sterling, youngest daughter of Gov-
ernor and Mrs. Sterling, was married
in the executive mansion to Cleo G.
Miller of Corsicana, Saturday.
The wedding was a quiet, simple
one with members of the two fami-
lies and a few intimate friends only
in attendance. The ceremony was
read by Rev. H. C. Garrison, pastor
of Central Christian Church.
The setting for the wedding was in
one of the drawing rooms of the, his-
toric mansion, where two other daugh-
ters of governors were married. It
was the fifth wedding for the man-
sion, however.
Miss Eloise Steele of Houston was
maid of honor. Junior bridesmaids
were Mildred and Jean Hedrick, niec-
es of the bride. The bride entered
with her father. Ray Miller of Coi-
sicana was his brother’s best man.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller left after an
informal reception for an unannoun-
ced destination to spend their honey-
moon. They will make their home in
Corsicana, where Miller is district at-
torney of Navarro County.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
“Is the Universe, including man,
evolved by atomic force?” was the
subject of the lessomsermon in all
Churches of Christ Scientist, Dec. 18.
Passages from the Bible included this
from Hebrews 12: “See that ye refuse
not Him that speaketh. For if they
escaped not who refused Him that
spake on earth, much more shall not
we escape, if we turn away from Him
that speaketh from heaven—And this
woi-k, yet once more, signifieth the
removing of those things that are
shaken, as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain. Wherefore we
receiving a kingdom which eannot be
moved, let us have grace, whereby
we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear.”
(Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Discouraged and embittered, a man
believed to be Wilbert Lindsay, 50,
Cleveland, found release in death
sometime late Saturday in snow-laden
Trinity Park.
Park Officer Brown discovered
Lindsay’s body late yesterday morn-
ing in a clump of bushes near a bend
of the park drive, several hundred
yards from the West Seventh street
entrance.
The clothing was frozen to the
ground.
Nearby lay an automatic pistol and
a half-smoked cigar. A bullet had
torn through the man’s heart.
Justice of the Peace Prichard, con-
ducting an inquest, found a six-page
letter in the man’s pocket, written in
longhand and captioned, ' “My Last
Will and Testament:
“I give and bequeath, back to the
earth, that which it gave,” the letter
began. “I brought nothing with me
upon my arrival onto this planet; I
fate nothing with me as I go out
beyond that bourne from which no
traveler has ever come. My only bag-
gage is a clear conscience and a char-
acter that has always been true and
honorable in dealings with my fel-
iowmen. . .”
At the letter’s close was inscribed:
“One who lived with a broken heart,
Wilbert Lindsay.” The letter bore
no date.
However, a shorter note, contained
in a billfold, was dated Nov. 30. It
asked that no effort be made to find
frier\i,s an,d (relatives and directed
that his body be cremated.
In the billfold also was found a
pawn ticket, showing that the man
Saturday had pawned his wi’ist watch
and ring for $11. There was $1.40
in change in the billfold.
Inquiry revealed that Lindsay paid
his bill for nine days’ lodging at a
Main street hotel Saturday afternoon.
He had registered at a larger hotel
December 8, but left the next day.
Hotel officials said he talked a little
and appeared always worried.
The letter, punctuating a history
of discouragements of the past few
months with bits of philosophy, sug-
gested the incidents that led to his'
death.
“I leave no regrets behind,” he had
written. “I have always worked hard
for those who employed me, giving
the very best that was in me, at all
times and all hours of my employ-
ment.' I have been the means of
helping many people by my counsel
and by my labor which made me fi-
nancially independent, while I have
received very little out of it for my
efforts. I lost all I had through the
trickery of those whom I believed in
and trusted. All I ever asked was a
job and just compensation. I will
not lower pride to ask for charity or
to beg on the street. . . .
“I resigned my position Nov. 1,
1932, because of injustice and poor
pay . . . decreases in pay ... in-
creased duties.
“Slavery was better than condi-
tions today. The forgotten man is
really forgotten . . . The church is a
vast political machine . . . Woman-
hood has left the home and entered
business. When the sanctity of the
home has been established again, di-
vorces will cease. Women now are
chiselers and gold-diggers in various
forms. . .
“I am- not an alarmist, Communist
or Socialist, but a true-blooded Amer-
ican.
“God help the man who walks in
the lonely places alone and who is
OIL SHUTDOWN NEAR
COMPLETE
LONGVIEW, Dec. 19.—The flow of
oil from thousands of wells that had
made the East1 Texas field the-great-
est 'in the world, was virtually stop-
ped Sunday and thousands of work-
ers marked time.
The task of shutting in the mam-
moth oil industry in this area, wells,
refineries, pipelines, everything con-
tributing to the production of petro-
leum, was described by officials of
the Texas raihoad commission as
about 99 per cent successful and the
100 per cent condition only just
around the corner. —
The commission, the civil agency
charged with enforcing proration,
ordered the field shut in Saturday,
from noon until January 1, to per-
mit a check of the bottomhole pres-
sure in each well, one of the require-
ments of a new proration law enact-
ed recently by a special session of
the Texas legislature.

standing beside the grave of his bur-

Two other paragraphs were in pen-
cil:
“After passing through the experi-
ences I have today, of the way busi-
ness strangles those who are broke,
I feel that death merely is one long
journey that; none need be afraid of.
Science may have my body to do with
as they see fit ... no one else cares
for it.”
Justice Prichard reached a verdict
of suicide. The body is as Shannon’s
Funeral Home.
