It is indeed refreshing to note
that yellow journalism is uot pop-
ular among l ight thinking people.
The local press by publicity
creates public sentiment against
violators of law and consequently
violations are curtailed.
A petition signed by a large
number of Nevada citizens is pub-
lished in tho Nevada News urg'ng
John R. Smith to make the lace
for loeal representative.
The Van A 1st) ne ice factory
was issued an amended charter

tttoek from $10,000 t<i $20,000.
Pretty fair showing for a dry
town. __________
Tli3 local press which upholds
law and order and refuses to
wink at crime should have loyal
eupport of a citizenship having
tho best int«'re>t of the commun-
ity at heart.
Congress passed a resolution
authorizing the secretary of war

Houston has two candidates for

Stewart. The Houston Post and

The main plank in Holt's platform

This rndorsemcnt was made
by President Roosevelt upon a
petition for the pardon of a Mian
who was sentenced to a term of
five years in prison in South Da-
kota for sending obscene letters
through the mail, in which he at-
tacked the character of a woman:
"Denied. Ia my judgment
tboee sending the petition, at least
the Judge and the district attor-
ney, should be notified that I sin-
;r«t it is not in my pow-
ally to inorease the aen-
of this scoundrel.

OBITUARY.
At his botne in Denison, Texas,
Samuel M. Shorter departed this
life on Feb. 21 at 9 o'clock p. m.
He leaves a wife and two chil-
dren, a father and mother, four
eisters and a host of friends and
other relatives to mourn his loss.
Samuel Shorter was born at
Lcbunon, Tenn,, July 18, 1808.
Came to Toxas when u boy 14
years of a^o with his parents and
lived near McKinney 14 years.
At the sgo of 22 he was married
to Miss Sullie Watson and be-
tween 3 and 4 years ugo they took
up their residence in Denison,
Texas. His parents reside at
Little Elm, this state, and the
sisters are: Mrs. Alice Fry of
Fort Worth, Mrs. Lucy Robin-
son, Mrs, Annie Mnbry and Mrs.
Etta Robinson of Little Elm,
Texas.
This mortal body was laid at
rest on Fob. 20 in the beautitul
cemetery of Maple Grove at Deni-
son under the auspices of the A.
O. U. W., W. O. W. and B. R.C.
Samuel joined the Christian
church at the age of 17, baptism
by Eld. Ben Faulkner of YVylie.
We can say of the deceased
that ho was always an upright,
conscientious, honorablo chris-
tian man. His face was always
aglow with love and fellowship
for his fellowman, loved by all
wht) knew him, always tlid his duty
and tlitl it well. And his little
family,ah, who shall portray their
grief? Who shall comfort them
in this their time of trouble?
When tho strong oak to which
tho clinging ivy tendrils cling is
cut down, who can comfort but
Gotl, the all-wiso who doeth all
things well? Weep not, dear
wife, for the departed one. You
will miss his loving care, 'tis true,
when you note his vacant place at
your board, and see his empty
chair, and hear his cheerful voice
no more on this earth, but your
loss has been Heaven's gain.
Weep not as one who has no
hope, for he's gone to "those!
beautiful fields of green." There,
accompanied by the angels, he is
backing in the love and smiles of
the blessed Savior, awaiting the
coming of his loved ones.
"lie is uot dead but sleepeth"
were the comforting words that
came into our mind as we gazed!
in voiceless grief on his still pla-j
citl brow and pressed his dear
foldetl hands and nerveless fingers
which would nevermore leturn
our welcome.
Dear foldetl hands that toiled on
untiring
For loved ones—all! they tlitl their
duty well;
At rest before me now I see them
lying,
And the love of that groat heart
no tongue can tell.
Dear patient heart und hands so
pulseless, still und cold.
llow peacefully and drcamlessly
bo's sleeping;
The spotless shroud about them
silent fold,
"And leave us weeping."
Bift no words will comfort the
grief of bereaved ones that re-
fuses to be easetl in tears, or no
love replace the treasure they
have lossed nor soften the hitter
aching heart shorn of its greatest
treasure. But though the heart
is stilled, the mute lips speak not
to us and the eyes that reflected
in their pathetic depths a beam-
ing heaven of tenderness and
lovo look no more o.i us, we
should not let the gravo steal all
comfort from our hearts when we
know that "all is well" with hiin.
"But how sad," amid tho hap-
piest hours of his life to be cut
down. Just as the bright beams
of nudday flooded the sky of his
happy life he sank down to sleep,
and as bis gentle spirit kissed the
world good-bye, the angels touch-
ed their harps and the symphon-
ies of heaven with one great
stroke of melody rolled away the
curtain of the skies and with one
great triumphant shout from the
angels he went home.
To his bereaved parents and
relatives we tfould say: Weep
not because another one has gone.
Just another link in the chain
that reaches from earth to hea-
ven, another cluster of jewels
We Are Busy
Even too busy to get up a list of some of the
very low prices we are making on

given to the keeping of the fa- J
ther. And these jewels are hea-
ven's most precious treasures.
Weep not, dear father and
mother. 'Tis true your only son
is gone. He can uot come to you
but by God's grace you can go to
him, Mild heaven is made all the
dearer because you have sweet
children there. For if he was a
man of tho world he was still a
child to you.
We think, tot), of time spent in
pleasant converse with liini, of
happy hours gone hv all tot)
quickly, of meetings antl partings
in happy unconsciousness of sor-
row. But think—just over the
river our loved ones are awaiting
us. We are going to cross soon
and then we'll meet again.
Sometimes tho waves look dark
stormy and our hearts faint with
dread, but good angels whisper
hope and courage antl wo are eon-
tent to go, when our master calls,
antl meet our loved ones.
Then the joy of that glad nieet-
mg,
Closely clasping his dear hand,
To always be there together
A joyous and unbroken band.
