Well, we have had some of the

The Financial End of
In no other way is this so easily and so
accurately accomplished as by means of a
check account. It shows every cent you de-
posit from the sale of the products of the farm
and also shows every cent spent for the neces-
sities.
The Annual Conference of the
Methodist Church, has just ad-
journed at Dallas and many
changes have been in the new
appointments that were given
out. Among the many was that
of Rev. T. N. Weaks, who goes to
Nevada in Collin county.
During nearly four years past
Bro. Weaks has filled the pulpit
at this place with an ever increas-
ing regard and affection of the
people of our town and country.
It x^as with a keen sense of loss
that we must now give him up.
He goes to his new field of labor
with the love and best wishes of
this entire community.
He has completely won our
people, both as a preacher and as
a man, and has been with us so
long that it is like giving up one
of our permanent residents. His
influence has been beneficial in
more ways than one. He has
wrought a decided change and
welded together with bonds of
real brotherhood the member-
ship of his church, until they
are a force in the real meaning
of the word.
His last work was one that
will be of a lasting nature. The
building of a new brick veneer
church, which is going up at this
time. It was the regret of u.
that he was not returned to com-
plete this work that everyone,
whether Methodist or of some
other denomination, will be proud
of. But all join in wishing him
every success in his new field of
Christian work.
Monday and Tuesday of this
week the doors of the firm of
Warren & Fooshee were closed
with just a little notice over the
door saying “closed to invoice.’’
Those on the inside, however,
knew what it meant. It meant
that one of Nocona’s best and
foremost citizens was retiring
from the whirl and worry of the
business life to a much deserved
and long earned rest, Mr. M. E.
Warren having sold his interest
in the business to Mr. J. A.
Fooshee and son, Grady. The
new firm who now succeeds to
this business will be styled J. A.
Fooshee & Son. They will carry
on the business “in the same old
way, and in the same old place,”
ever glad to meet their old friends
and ready to extend the glad
hand to the stranger.
Mr. Warren haa been In busi-
ness in Nocona for the past 24
Mrs. Rebecca McCrory was
born in Red River Co., Tex., July
21, 1830, and after an illness of
nearly ten weeks, died last Sat-
urday Nov. 23, 1912, at the resi-
dence of her son, J. E. McCrory,
six miles north-east of Nocona.
In 1846 she was married to J.
L. McCrory. To this union were
born fourteen children, eight of
whom survive her to mourn her
death, but their loss is her gain.
She has only gone on where she
will be waiting and watching for
loved ones. She was converted
in early life and joined the Bap-
tist church and lived a faithful,
consistent member until her
death.
She and her life companion
were permitted to live together
56 years, he having been called
home some ten years ago. Since
then she has lived with her chil-
dren. Those of her children
present when death came were
J. E. McCrory and Mrs. Maggie
Swafford.
Grandma, as she was lovingly
called, never tired talking of the
goodness and mercy of God.
She often said that she was just
waiting for the Lord to call her
home.
After the funeral services Sun-
aU i day morning at the residence her
body was laid to rest in the No-
cona cemetery, there to await its
redemption when they that sleep
in Jesus shall awake to meet Him
at His coming. May Heaven’s
richest blessing rest on the chil-
dren, grand-children and friends
of the dear departed.
A Friend
years, always known to his
friends far and wide as “Uncle
Marcus” his counsel and readi-
ness to be among the first to help
in any deserving cause for the
upbuilding or for the uplifting of
his home town, county and state,
will be sadly missed. Though,
he retires from the business
worries and sojourns under the
balmy sky of a far and distant
land, he will beever remembered
by those whom he has extended
the helping hand to or wisely
counseled with.
Mr. and Mrs. Warren will
leave in a few days for the Gol-
den State (California) to spend
the winter and coming year.
They will not be permanently
located tor some time, but ex-
l>ect to make their future home
