Resolutions of Respect.
Another sounding of the Su-
preme Gavel, and our brother,
W. D. Ellis, like an ear of corn
fully ripe, has been gathered to [
his father.
“Called from labor to refresh-
ment where joy eternal reigns.”
Brethren he has gone, but his
memory remains. He was an
honest, unassuming Christian.
As a Mason he was tried and
true. As a citizen he was un-
compromising toward wrong.
Res. 1. That we bow in humble
submission to the decree of our
Heavenly Father.
Res. 2. That in the death of
Bro. Ellis, our lodge has lost one
who was not simply a member of
the lodge, but a Mason. The
church not only a member but a
Christian.
Res. 3. That we extend our
sympathy to the bereaved family
and point them to the Savior as
the only one who can “Roll the
clouds away.”
Res. 4. That a page in our
minutes be set apart to his mem-
ory and the lodge be draped for
30 days.
Res. 5. May such aid be given
in answer to our prayers, that we
iay do and dare all that our
ows and God’s laws enjoin so
that when evening shades de-
cline, we too may be found in
Heaven.
Respectfully submitted.

There is nothing in the world
more pathetic than, the meek,
timorous, shrinking ways of cer-
tain- old people—we have seen
them—who have given up their
homes into younger hands, and
subsided into some out-of-the-
way corner of it, to sit by the
fireplace and table henceforth as
if afraid of “making trouble,”
afraid of being “in the way,”
afraid of accepting half of what
is their due and going down to
their graves with a pitiful, dep-
recating air, as if constantly
apologizing for staying so long.
There is no scorn too deep nor
sharp for the sons and daughters
who will accept this attitude on
the part of those whom they owe
so much.—Vernon Call.
This is a timely blast from the
watchman’s trumpet. We have
all seen the old folks give up
their home to the second genera-
tion and then witness the gradu-
al elimination of the rightful
owners from the picture. It is
not always that the young ones
choose to be selfish or inconsid-
erate or mean. They just assume
that because the old folks are
old folks they have no senti-
ments worth considering nor any
feelings but those of senility. It
is a bad day in the life of any
old man or old woman when he
or she surrends his or her all to
even a beloved son or daughter.
Let the parents keep for them-
selves that which they need and
let the children be those who
must be needy, if so be it any'
must need.—Dallas News.
The local newspaper, truthful-
ly says an exchange, should be
found in every home. No child
should be brought up ignorant
who can be taught to' appreciate
home papers. It is said to be a
stepping stone to intelligence in
all those matters not found in
books. Give your child one
foreign paper with not one word
about any person, place or thing
they ever saw or heard of, and
how do you suppose them, to be
entertained? But let them read
the home papers and hear from
people whom they meet and
places where they are familiar,
and soon an interest is awakened
which increases with the arrival
of every local paper. Thus a
habit is formed and those chil-
dren will read papers all their
lives and become intelligent
men and women, a credit to their
lives, a credit to their ancestors
and strong in knowledge of the
world as it is today.—Mexia
News.
A progressive, public-spirited
man can always be depended
upon to favor any and all enter-
prises looking to the betterment
and upbuilding of his communi-
ty. It is innate, and no more to
be avoided than are the measles
and whooping cough of child-
hood. The same rule holds good
with the non-progressive ele-
ment. Once a kicker, always a
kicker. The tendency to “knock”
becomes ingrained in the nature
of some men, and they kick and
kick without really knowing what
they are kicking about.—Brown-
wood Bulletin.

blages are always interesting and
Mr. and Mrs. Litton are to be
congratulated upon the high
class of citizens with which they
have assisted to people Texas.
May they all live to see many
happy returns of the day which
they enjoyed Monday.
