hopes or fears.
Only upon his wnodrous hands I gaze,
And search my memory through so
fittingly
To voice their loveliness, In still
amaze
I bow before their quiet dignity.
They make the crooked straight and
heal old sores:
The blind to see, the war-torn clean
and whole.
Throughout the suffering world they
touch the doors
That open wide to life. The bitter
• bowl .
Of pain they sweeten till the weary
rest,
As though the hands of Christ had
served and blest.”
About fifty uniforms were received
here Thursday morning for the Lam-
pasas school band, and they may be
seen at the pep rally held on the
public square at 7:00 o’clock this
evening, Thursday. The Band Moth-
ers Club has worked hard to secure
these uniforms and others will be
purchased as funds are raised for
them. If you have not already con-
tributed toward this fund your do-
nation will be gladly accepted.
The uniforms have blue trousers
with a white ‘stripe and the shirts
are white with blue trimmings. The
caps are blue and white and they are
really classy looking uniforms and
will be proudly jyorn by* the members
of the band. The director, A. B. Ron-
ald, will wear white trousers trimmed
with a gold braid and a white coat
with the same trimming. The drum
major will be dressed in white with
the gold trimming.
The band will appear at the game

Sunday morning, October 23, just
before dawn the beautiful spirit of
W. IL Preston went Home.
He was at his home near Evant,
where love and skill worked togeth-
er for hfs restoration, to no avail. His
work on earth was finished and he
answered the call of his Father.

ing his illness and all were at his
bedside when death came.
His funeral was conducted by Rev,
A. B. Dehart, Rev. Ben Reynolds and
Mr. D. H, Carter. He was laid to
rest in the Murphree cemetery be-
side his wife, who. had preceded him
in death sixteen years.
The active pallbearers were M. J.
Broyles, C. J. Griffin, C. T. Thomp-
son, J. M. Winters, Clyde White and
C. O. Longmire. The floral offering
wils profuse and beautiful.
Thirty years ago, Uncle Curley
with his wife and family located and
built their home near Evant, where
they spent their earthly lives. Here
in this lovely countryside he had liv-
ed to bless and help those about him-
He loved th<5 bSkutifuh-upright, noble
and Godly things .of life and is in-
fluence is lasting for those things.
He was a good father and enough
could not be spoken in his honor. His
children indeed, “Arise up and call
him blessed.” He is survived by’sev-
en) sons: Tom, Sam and Boyd of Mid-
land; Edgar and Roby of Pearl; Bar-
ney of Lampasas; Kirby of Glade*
water and one daughter, Ollie, of the
parental home, lie also leaves a sis-
ter, Mrs. Nellie Holley of Brown-
wood, to mourn his passing.—Con-
