A chorus was raised, and Depew
Malted and looked confused. He gave
i start, turned around, then his face
broke into a sinile.
"Ah ! I see," he said, retracing his
steps.
After putting his vote in (lie box
'he senator got out of the place with-
out further misadventure.
In spite of his momentary lap«e,
it is thought by his friends the sena-
tor voted as he intended. He did
not ask for assistant in marking bin
ballot.
Capt. Thos. C. Cain, who, since the foundation of the
Advertiser assisted in editing and directing the manage-
ment of this paper, died at his home in this city Wednes-
day morning, February 22, 11)11, aged 7.'? years, 3 months
and 12 days.
For the past two years Capt. Cain had been in de-
clining health, and while death was not unexpected the
end came suddenly. He had arisen from the table after
having partaken of a hearty breakfast, and accompanied
by his attendant retnrned to his room, seated himself and
immediately expired. Death was directly due to heart
i%jlure. With him were his daughters, Misses Laura and
Minnie Cain.
Since the death of his wife, Capt. Cain had not been
in activv charge of the Advertiser, his son having charge.
Funeral services were held at the family residence at
10.30 o'clock Thursday morning, Rev. I. T. .Morris, paster
of the M. E. Church, of which deceased was a member,
conducting the services. Brief but impressive services
were also conducted by the T. C. Cain Chapter, U. 1). C.,
in whose honor the Chapter had been named- The re-
mains were then turned over to the Masonic lodge, of
which fraternity he had long been a member, escorted to
Fairview Cemetery and with the beautiful burial riles of
that order were laid to rest.
Born in Huntsville, Ala., Nov. 10, 1837, removed with
his parents to Aberdeen. Miss., where he resided until
about 16 years old, coming to Bastrop in the fall of 1853
to join his brother Wm. J. Cain, in the publication of the
Advertiser. He remained here for some time and went to
Austin to engage in the newspaper business and when
the civil war came on publication of the Advertiser was
ceased and the two brothers returned to Mississi^ni, en-
listed in the Confederate army, in which Capt. Cain serv-
ed throughout the four years. He enlisted as seargent
and mustered out with the rank of captain. During the
war he married to Miss Mary Elizabeth Ellis, of Aber-
deen, Miss., and when the war closed he returned with
his wife to Bastrop and resumed the publication of the
Advertiser, which he continued until his demise. His
wife preceded him in death on Nov. 29, 1 iK>7, three sons
and one daughter having also gone before, leaving surviv-
ing him one son, T. W. Cain, two daughters, Misses Laura
and Minnie Cain, and one grand-daughter, Miss Corinne
Cain.

IN MEMORIAM.
On Friday night, Feb. 10, 1911,
the spirit of I\arl Wright, the in-
fant of Mr. and Mrs. James
Wright, left its earthly home to
take up its abode in that House
not made with hands eternal in
the Heavens. Pearl and her twin
brother, Earl, were born March
14, 1009, and were one year ten
months and twenty seven days
old when : he died. Though so
young, she had won the hearts
about her, so that the home seems
very desolate because of her go-
ing away. Sheevidenctd extraor-
dinary intellegence and manifest-
ed unusual affection for one of
such tender age. Father, moth-
er, grandmother, brothers and
sisters all loved her devotedly,
and sadly mourn her departure.
Bereaved ones, mourn not as
those who have no hope; for
Pearl is infinitely happier than
she could possibly be in your
earthly home. She is sale with
Jesus in the House of Mansions
Jesus says, "Of such is the king-
dom of Heaven." He also de-
clares, "Their angels do always
behold the face of my Father
which is in Heaven."
On Saturday afternoon, Feb.
11th, funeral services were held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Wright, and then we carried the
little body of precious Pearl to
its last resting place in the fam-
ily buring ground on Cedar Creek.
Bereaved ones, if you would
meet Pearl again, prepare to go
< to Heaven, for her home is there.
Jesus says, "I am the Way, the
Truth and the Life; no man
cometh unto the Father but by
me." If you would find all suf-
ficient comfort in your trouble,
look to Jw'sus, for He has s?.id,
"Let not your heart be troubled;
ve believe in God, believe also in
Me."
