DEATH OF Â NOBLE WOMAN
Wife of Postmaster Beaty Passes
Away.
When the announcement was
made this afternoon that Mrs. John
Beaty was dead the hearts of tjie
people of Waxahaohie were thrilled
with emotions of genuine sorrow.
Very few j>eople knew of her ill-
ness and the information of her
death will come as a great surprise j
to them.
A few days ago Mrs. Beaty was \
enjoying seemingly good health all
unmindful that the death angel was
lurking so near. At about 2:.'*» this
afternoon the spirit of this noble
christian woman took its flight into
that world where sorrov and death
are unknown. Her death was due
directly to a superinduced attack of
uremic asthma.
Mrs. Beaty was about forty-four
years old and had resided in this
city about ten years. Hhe was a
consistent member of the Haptist
church and wa* a very (ptlet and
unassuming woman. Those who
knew her best say that she was a
woman of many desirable traits of
character and that her life was a
composition of many charitable
graces.
Mr. Beaty has & host of friends
iti this city and county who will
deeply sympathize with him in his
hour of gri< f and disiress. He will
leave on the Katv Flyer tomorrow !
morning with the remains taking;
them to Sprinjrfleld 111. where they !
will be laid to rest besid»· her
mother.
Mrs Beaty leaves a husband and a
son Wilber to mourn her death and '
an inlatit two ii?»\ κ old tliat w ill nev-
er know what α mother's love is. To
the sorrowing husband and son this !

An Old Landmark Burned.
One of the oldest reeldencee in the
city »a« destroyed by fire today
about 11 :'n> o'clock. The house was
Uie property of Miss Kuna Davie
and wan situated on Water street.
At the time it was burned it was oc-
cupied by Mi** Davie her sister
Mr·. Monroe and Mr. and Mrs.
Suggs. The house was a total lose
and rn arly all the household effects
belonging to th·) occupants were de-
stroyed. No insurance was carried
on either the house or the furniture.
The Are caught from a flue while
dinner was being prepared. The
fire department responded promptly
when the alarm was turned in but
Ihe fire had gained such headway
that it was impossible to check it
until the house was burned to the
ground.
This house was erected just after
the close of the civil war and the
sills and sleepers were hauled from
the Trinity river bottom.
Weather Indications.
Tonight and Tuesday probably
scattered showers.

A Great Movement.
J. A. lilack who lives near Nash
was in the city today and said he
wanted to heartily commend the
member* of the Shakespeare Club
f«-r the "Rest Cottage" which was
recently opened here under their di-
rection. Mr Mark said it was one
of the greatest movements ever in-
augurated by the ladle· in any city
anil that the women of his section
of the county were highly apprecia-
tive of of the cottage and it« con-
veniences. The Shakespeare ladies
said Mr. Black deserve much praise
for the noble work they have under-
taken and he complimented very
highly the desire on the part of the
club women to become better ac-
quainted with the women from the
country. In this connection it
might be said that this cottage was
not equipped exclusively for the la-
dies Of Ellis county who come here
to do their shopping but for those
from other counties as well. Many
ladies come to Waxahachie from
Dallas Hill and Johnson counties
to do their shopping and the cot-
tage is as free to them as to the Ki-
lls county ladies.

$2.95
Some time ago we placed an order with Williams
Kneeland & Co. for a lot of Men's Patent Vici Kid
Low Cut Oxfords the £4.00 quality. By a mistake
they sent us a Patent Colt Oxford to sell for that
price. The Patent Celt is a bit heavier that vici and
for that reason wears well. The difference in weight
is slight and at the price we name will make a good
bargain. The makers prefer us to sell them rather
than have them returned. For one week we offer
a $4.00 Patent Colt Oxford at the 4JO QfiT
