As president of this society I
thank the members for their co-
operation and help in making this a
good year in its history. The of-
ficers have been faithful and loyal,
and their fellowship has been very
helpful to me.
During the year we have lost by
death one of our charter members,
Mrs. Sarah Moore. Becoming a
member June, 1880, she saw the so-
ciety grow, first an aid, then a home
mission and then a missionary so-
ciety. She loved the church and as
long as she was able attended its
services. In conversation with her
a short time before her death she
said that she prayed constantly for
the officers and members of the so-
ciety that we might be useful in
promoting God's kingdom. Truly
she has gone to her eternal home,
but the influence of her devout and
faithful life will long remain with
.those who knew her.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Joe Adams, President.

As before intimated by the News
to the Lufkin merchants, it will
again admonish you to look well to
your laurels and study closely the
benefits which may be derived by
furnishing your out-of-town custom-
. ere with their supplies through this
'Channel. It has opened up a broad-
*er field if you will only take advan-
tage t)f it. The possibilities of this
syetem are too numerous to dwell
upon, and while the wideawake
merchant may have familiarized
himself with its inner-workings,
still those far removed in the rural
districts might not be so conver-
sant with the new regime in vogue.
For this reason would it not be the
wiser policy, from a business stand-
point, to acquaint them with the
exce, tional benefits to be derived
therefrom and to explain to them
just what they may have delivered
at their own door and at just what
reduced cost. It occurs to the
News that this would be the wise
thing to do, and what was a most
striking example of the efficacy of
this plan was gleaned from yester-
day's Beaumont Enterprise, wherein
it carried a double-page ad contain-
ing the many firms of the city who
were bidding for trade through this
new made avenue and explained
in detail just how such a service
could be rendered. They are alive
to the situation down there—and
are going after the business.—Luf-

Texas Battleship Day.
Galveston, Texas, Jan. 22.—Gov-
ernor O. B. Colquitt has formally
designated Thursday, March 18th,
1913, as Texas battleship day. This
announcement means that on that
day the school children of Texas
may hand to their teachers in their
class rooms a sum not exceeding
five or ten cents each; that the
teachers will transmit these
amounts, together with a list of the
contributors, to the principal of the
school, and through him to the
county or city superintendent for
forwarding to the state committee
at large in charge of these collec-
tions, to be appointed by Governor
Colquitt, of which Hon. Lewis Fish-
er, .mayor-president of Galveston,
is chairman.
These contributions may be made
in all educational institutions, public,
parochial, private, or whatever na-
ture, of Texas at the same hour and
with appropriate ceremonies.
The funds thus collected will be

RE: COCA-COLA BUSINESS
Publishers of
THE COURIER,
Crockett, Texas.
Gentlemen:—
Our Mr. D'Arcy having just returned from a conference
with the Coca-Cola Company, of Atlanta, with the plans for their
advertising during the coming season finally adopted, we are glad
to be able to send you the advance information that your good
paper will again be on the list.
The Coca-Cola Company expressed themselves as having
every reason to be gratified with the results obtained through
the publicity engaged upon in your columns last year, and we
have authority to promise a renewal of the business.
We are not yet in a position to give you the exact details
of the schedule, but these will follow shortly, and we expect that
the copy will begin to run some time towards the middle of April
and continue through the season, as usual.
You will receive from us a formal order with complete
schedule, in good time, and we trust that you will continue to
give the same service that so satisfied our clients last year, and
that results will be obtained that will be satisfactory to every-
body concerned.
Yours very truly,
CCP-P.
