It ia probable that the city will

more than an abundant supply
for present uses. Also in case of

Will Blair died suddenly at his
boarding house in Dallas last
Saturday at 12:30 p. m. Hts

The body was brought ber.e

iams, after which the body was
buried.
Will Blair was born in Bonham

here. He was a son of Judge J.
K. Blair and wife. He was by

For many years Mrs. Hays
had been an earnest Christian
worker. In early life she joined
the Methodist church, and until
her strength forbade it she was
an active worker in the ranks of
Christian soldiers. She suffered
much, she endured patiently,
she worked faithfully, she loved
trhly. she «*as one of earth’s no-
ble women. When her worn
body and tired frame lay down to
its last peaceful sleep, the hus-
band looked upon the dead face
of as true a wife as man eyer
had. the children saw the love-
ight go out of the eyes of as
bnd and faithful a mother as
ever bore offspring, and friends
gazed upon the features of one
ho^had been faithful to them,
lers was a life of labor and love
and sacrifice: These are life’s
test services to fit one for an
eternity of usefulness.
She is survived by her hus-
band and four children. Brown

snoozed till morning in the Pea-

The next morning we boarded
a street car and went on out to
the park -where they had tents
and had made arrangements to
entertain the old veterans. • We
registered and got tickets for
eleven meals, but we saw that it
ould be too late before we could
get to the table, so we boarded
a street car back to near, head-
quarters where the Daughters of
the Confederacy were serving and
I rot our breakfast. We got all of
our meals ther», as we could al-
ways get them without waiting,
which gave us more time'to min-

We hardly know how to ap
proach the News since Bro. Ash-
ley Evans has retired. We have
always been a little backward
about making new acquaintances.
We have been very intimately
associated with Bro, Ashley ever
since he has been running the
Bonham News, having been
correspondent for it before he
went into the newspaper busi
ness. I got acquainted with
Judge W. A. Evans about 1868
and the boys soon thereafter, and
have always found them to be
genial companions and men o
the hightest type, always zealous
workers, laboring to advance the
interest of their town, always
battling for morality and civic
righteousness, for the betterment
of their town and for the true
and correct principles as they
saw them. We regret to see him
retire from one of the best pa-
pers in the state.
We had intended to give a
write-up of the Little Rock reun-

fair sailing and never did old
bovs proceed with brighter antic-
ipations for what was ahead in
store for them. We sped our

try berlween here and Texarkana,
