The Sulphur Springs Fruit and

to order by T. C. McCorkle, he being
elected to preside over the meeting,
on account of the president, Mr.
Roberson, being absent, and F. W.
Mack being made secretary protem,
on account of the secretary, Valton
Davis, being absent. The first busi-
ness taken up was a proposition from
C. M. Porter, of Mineola, for a firm
in Pittsburg, Pa.,'to place this year’s
fruit crop in car lots for the associa
tion. Mr. Porter fully explained how
his firm handled or placed all of this
class of perishable products. Their
plan is to make a contract with the
growers for all of their fruits and oth
er products in car lots. He stated
the position that his company was in
to place the tracker’s and fruiter’s
products. The company is in touch
with all the markets in the different
states, and by this method place

!to<that exalted position of trust and
honor to succeed his father, the la-
mented Hon. John L. Sheppard, in
Octoberr1902, when he w$s but twenty -
eight years of age.
He went to our national capital a

the world that he was a man among
men in ability and knowledge. He
has fought the battles of the people
so ably, has demonstrated his ability
to meet the fire of the great republi-

mocracy; has shown snch a patriotic,

First Congressional District, but
throughout all Texas and is written
high on the scroll of fame in every
state in our great Union.
His record as our Representative is
’4jike the record of his private life, clean

that he has accepted an offer to en-

rock with an old friend and school-

practice there, extending over six
counties. This will necessitate his
leaving for Shamrock shortly, and he

When the telephone was invented
people were astonished. That one
could talk to another over a little
wire at a great distance, was a tri-
umph never dreamed of, yet to this
new and useful invention is now at-
tached another convenience and sat-
isfaction; a devise has been invent-
ed that enables parties at great dis-

We regret to lose Mr. Pharr from

of Shamrock as a gentleman of the
highest integrity and worthy of any
trust.
Judge Robert B. Seay of the Crim-
inal Court of Dallas, has a formula
in the way of amending the statute,
which, if enacted, gives promise of
abridging reversals of the higher
oonrts. His plan is, that a statute be
passed requiring the defendant to call
attention of the court to any errors
at the time the charge is given and
before the jury retires to deliberate,
and in default of his doing so, the
error is waived. Anent this he says:
“ By this simple amendment it will
render it impossible to allow over-
sights or errors ot the jadge which
be is willing to rectify, to pass unno-
ticed when the charge is given, and
thns allow the defendant, when it is
too late to amend the charge, to sand-
bag the judge by calling attention to
the error in his motion for a new
trial.”
County Attorney Dwight L. Lewell-
ing, of Dallas oounty, is expected in
• short time to announce his candi-
dacy for Congress and cross lances
with the Hon. Jack Beall. Le welling
has mode good as a prosecutor of
high class, and is one of the best
stump dabsters in the state, and his
Mends predict he will make things
lively when he goes on the bastings.
Henry E. Pharr returned here Tues-
day from a visit to Shamrock, in
Wheeler connty, and tells ns that he
has formed a law-partnership oat
there which will necessitate his mov-
ing from here in the near future, leav-
ing only one candidate, Oapt. W. F.
Ross, of Pecan Gap, in the field. This
will be a great surprise to his many
friends over the district, but his pros-
pects are so flattering out there that
he cannot afford to tarn down snch
an opportunity, and we are sore no
one would undertake to persuade him
to do so.—Mt Vernon Optic-Herald.

The next business taken - np was1 a
statement from J. M. Colquitt hr’te*
gard to the box and crate plant, now
on foot to be bnllt. Mr. Colqnltt folly
explained the great necessity of the
plant and the many benefits to be de-
rived from It; the number of people
that would*get steady imployment;
also, avoid the big loss of frnits and
track by the delay in shipping crates
from other points. A motion was
made that the association take one
hundred dollar stock in the crate
plant. It was carried and referred to
the board of directors for final action.
Mr. McCorkle made a strong appeal
for the frait and tr6ck producers to
take, individually, at least fifty dol-
lars stock in the Irwin Cannery - and
that they could pay it in peaches, and
it would pay them better and be worth
more to them indirectly than any In-
vestment they coaid make. Others
made good appeals to the producers
to, by all means, stay with and sup-
port the home cannery.
Mr. Porter paid a high compliment
to oar growers and farmers as to their
being strictly np with the times and
fnlly understanding their work in
hand; also, he stated that he found
this organization in better condition
than any he had visited in the state
and that he had visited almost all of
them. Messrs. Gafford and Waits
made good and instructive talks all
along these lines.
Secretary Mack made a short talk
showing Hopkins county to be the
best county in the state and asked
that we take notice of this fact and be
proud that we had the privilege to be
one of her citizens.
There being no farther bnsiness, the
meeting adjourned.

A Letter From Dr. Loog.
Editor Gagette:—After leaving Dal-
las I ran over to Oklahoma City and
spent a couple of days with our old
friend, Dr. M. Smith, whose smiling,
happy disposition always makes ns
feel good. That is a gtoat city of its
size, hamming, hustling, moving all
the time. Why is it so? Because"
every man, woman and child in it
constitutes a committo, individually
and collectively te boast the town.
You can’t talk to anyone three minntes
without hearing something about real-
estate. What a town they have, and
that she will have 250,000 people in
five years. Well, that is the way to
build a city—everybody pull together.
No drag. Wish our little city, might
catch it. Then she would grow, too.
I left there and went by way of
Kansas City, where I stopped a day,
I ran over to Rochester, ;raere I am
stopping, in the Mayo’s Clinic, for
awhile. As one drifts north and comes
into the more populous cities the
vision begins to change. The people
are different, their ways are different,
their needs seem different. Someone
has said that “Mythology is but the
dust of past ages.” The lives of these
people is a mere phantom compared
with those of our southern homes.
Then oar attention again is turned to
another phase of city life; saloons and
grog shops everywhere; drinking and
carousing the whole night through.
1 don’t mean, of coarse, they all do
that, for thousands of good people get
mixed np in the swim, bat ft gives ns
an insight into the doings of city Ufe.
Then we think of the hundred thous-
ands pepole who go down each year
to fill drunkard's graves, oar hearts
begin to swell for humanity every-
where. But this is only a start, we
are here reminded that one milUon
children in this fair land of ours,
amidst aU oar boasted civilization,
and Christian free America are having
their Uves crashed oat by the white
slave trafle, and being crowded into
factories and working places in de-
fiance to all right thinking and liberty
loving people.
These things and many others con-
front the thonghtfnl from day to day.
My heart tarns sick with its thinking,
and I say give me Texas; give me Snl-
phar Springs; give me my friends;
give me my sanny sooth home, prac-
tically free from all those things, and
may she remain free, and freer, and
may she be in the first ranks to battle
for right and for liberty through all
the years, ’till the nation of the earth
shall look back by way of the cross
and reflect honor on His name.
Yonr friend,
W. W. Long.

Resolutions of Respect.
The committee appointed by Sol-
phnr Springs Lodge No. 221, A. F. &
A. M. to draft suitable resolutions upon
the death of Bro. Geo. R. Yantis re-
ported the following:
Brethren:—The Grand Master of the
Universe weilding the gavel of death
has called another brother from labor
and bidden him to refresh himself
from the tree of life and to Ue down
by the still waters of eternal joy. He
has taken from among ns a man whose
Ufe was a pattern of true manhood
and of true masonry—a man whose
every act was in accord with the-great
principles of oar order.
Brother Yantis was a workman
whose highest ambition was to do well
the task that was set before him. He
did not consider that he was a great
master called to draft the plans for
his fellow workmen, bat taking the
Ufe ana teachings of the Son of God
as the plans drawn upon the trestle
board of tbe universe for men to fol-
low, he tried to be the best among the
humble, faithful servants who build as
the Master has directed. ,
How well be succeeded aU of us
know. We saw him as he went quiet-
ly about bis work building day by day
the temple of a good name, bat how
he had bailded we did not reaUze un-
til the Master said “it is enough, enter
thon in to the joys of thy Lord.” His
temple was built without sound of
hammer and many of the best deeds
of his Ufe were known only to those
who were associated with him in the
closest way. His Ufe was a simple
Ufe. No tablet in the hall of fame will
toU future generations that he was a
great man, no great monaments of
granite and marble will be erected to
his memory, bat apon the hearts and
Uves of his feUow men there will be a
record of what he has done and his
goods deeds will be a monument that
kings might envy without dishonor.
Long after his dost has returned to
the dust as it was, the widow wUl
bless tne hand that fed her orphan
child; successful men wiU remember
the man who helped them to rise from
■ Uves of ignorance and obscority; pas-
tors will point to his Christian Ufe;
and Masons will remember and emu-
late his example.
> He was a man that did not scatter
his charity among the thorns and
thistles by the wayside, bat used the
same judgment and steadfastness of
purpose in doing good that he did in
his affairs of bnslnesss. No act was
ever done by him until he had decid-
ed whether or not it would be best,
and this virtne of itself sometimes
made him appear as working slowly.
In his business he was" careful, cauti-
ons and prudent and was blessed with
that success which is sure to follow
such efforts. Such men are not found
every day, nor in every town, and his
pastor voiced the sentiments of his
friends when he said by his open
grave that if a better man than Geo.
Yantis had ever lived, it had not been
his pleasure to meet and know him.
Then be it resolved,
That this lodge has lost not only a
member, bat a brother who loved the
order and Uved as all good Masons
ought to live.
That we extend to his family oar
sympathy and best wishes and pray
that the blessings of Almighty Goa, in
whom he trusted, may be npon them.
Respectfully submitted,
