DEATH OF MRS. B. B. SANDERS.
At the family residenco in Austin,
Texas, 5 o'clock, on the morning of
Tnursday, December 2i)th, 1904, the
spirit of Mrs. B. B. Sanders left its clay
tenement and ascended to that God wlr
gave it life, at the age of 63 years.
The funeral took place at It): 110 o'clock,
Friday morning, Dec. With, 1001 Drs.
J. W. Lowoer and Homer T. Wilson,
officiating; with the following pall bear-
ers: A. P. Wooldridge, A. J. Filers,
W. A. Goodman, John D. McCall, E.
M. Douthett. T. J. Brown.
Mrs. Sanders was barn March 3rd,
1841, was married to Mr. B. B. Sanders,
August 10th, 1850. nino children bless-
ing their union. Of the children there
wero two sons and seven daughters, one
son died in infancy, and a daughter at
the age of 5 years. Tne seven children
wtio survive her, six da lahters and one
son. are Mrs. W. G. Hill. Austin; Mrs.
J. E. Moseley, Hearne; Mrs. T. W.
Cain, Bastrop; Miss Bleuford Sanders.
Austin; Mrs. J. B. Crews, Austin; L. B.
Sanders, Hempstead; Miss Tomrnye
Sanders, Austin.
Twelve grand-children also survive
her.
From early Rirlhood, Mrs. Sanders
was a zealous and consistant Christian,
herontire aim in life was to faithfully
aesist her husband in his Christian
work, and discharge her full duty as a
Christian and the wife of a Christian
minister, hence her pure Christian char-
acter. throughout her loner life, won for
her the love of all, and made her the
idol of husband and children. During
her many years illness, it was, by every
member of the family, a labor of love,
to administer to her comfort.
A few days before Inr death, the de
voted husband left her. full of hope, and
with not a thought of the great grief so
soon to follow, to resume his Christian
duties in a distant town, and had scarce-
ly entered upon his duties, before the
shocking wire-message reached him.
"mother is dead."
During hor ill health for many years,
she bore hor sufferings with the forti-
tude of a true Christian, not a murruer
escaping her lips.
Truly tan it be said, "a Christian has
left us and gone to her reward." To the
true Christian, death is only the trans-
formation of the mortal to the immortal;
the change of the pains, sorrows and
disappointments of earth to the joys
and happiness of heavt n. Death has no
terror for the life-long Christian; and
in the death of Mrs, B. B. Hinders, her
loved ones can truly console themaelvoj
with the happy thought, "Our loss is
htr eternal gain." They well know her
sweet pin;, bursting its frail, clay
casket, quickly tookj its flight. a#cend-
in; to that God whim she, ia life, so
lo'ed to worship, and where forever-
more she will be freed from the pains
anl ills of earthly life -forever basking
in the sunshine of God's eternal live
an i protection.
Then, why should we mourn her
diath? Though distressed in heart,
weighed down with the greatest sorrow,
h tr loved onos sh ould be comforted with
the consoling thought, "Tnough lost to
us on earth, mother has gone to a better
land and is now with our Heavenly
Father in that spirit home where she is
relieved of all pain and suffering, and
where peace, joy and happiness forever
reigncth supreme, and where she awaits
to meet them at the pearly gates and
welcome them to a home in the Father's
mansion."
To the grief-stricken family the Ad-
vertiser extends heart condolence, in
which it is joined by hosts of warm,
sympathizing friends, with the assur-
ance that their grief is not without hope.
Though your loved one is forever lost to
you on earth and cannot return, you can
so live that you may be finally reunited
beyond the skies.
DEATH OF A USEFUL
AND HONORED CITIZEN,
The following tribute to Mr. J. M.
Nash, deceased, father of our City
Marshal. J. F. Nash, is taken from the
Hico Review:
As we have had occasion to remark
frequently, death is no respoctor of per-
sons. It invades the gilded palace, parts
the silken curtains and strikes tho mor-
tal body of royalty with as little concern
as it wields thecycle in the homely cabin
by the road side. The unopened bud,
the ruse in full bloom and the seared leaf
of autumn readily fall at his icy touch.
Died, on the 10th of December, J. M.
Nash. Deceased was born in South
Carolina, December 7, lH2(i: reared and
educated with such men as Caihoun,
Austin, Pickens and other prominent
cnaracters of the old Palmetto state.
He was a true and consistent member of
the Christian church and lived a blame-
less life. He Kbored ..li'hfully for the
educational interest of Hico and sur-
rounding country and many young men
and women have started out on life's
battles prepared equipped from the moral
and mental training of this grand old
man. Two sons and four daughters
survive him and to them wo extend our
sympathy knowing at the same time that
their loss is his eternal gain.
His remains w^re laid to rest in the
Hico cemetery last Sunday afternoon
followed by a large number of friends
and acquaintances who thus testified to
the esteem in which they held this noble
old gentleman. Rev. Bexter Golitftitly
officiated at the grave with a beautiful
and impressive funeral ceremony and all
that was mortal of the splendid citizen,
faithful friend and indulgent father was
consigned to the dust from whence it
cstme, near tho anniversary of.the world'*

month#. This Is the wonderful record
made by the Tyler Commercial Ool.ege
of Tyler, Texas; tl is school has only
been established live years, but it is by
far the largest school of bookkeeping,
shorthand, telegraphy and penmanship
In the entire South. Their rapid grow th
i due to their strict business meth-
ods, strong faculty of '•peclalists, upto-
d te methods and modern systems.
They give a student a thorough and
practical course in half the time and
at half the cost of schools using other
systems. The famous Byrne Simplified
Shorthand, of which this school has the
exclusive right to teach in the state of
Texas, has added very materially to the
rapid growth of their shorthand depart-
ment, and the Byrne Practical Book-
keeping, a system of actual business from
start to finish, one u( ''I.earn to do by
doing", has added great to the rapid
growth and reputation of the busine-s
department,
This school is constantly receiving
calls for it* graduate, to accept positions
in our larger cities; many have been
placed In the las' few months in Atlan-
ta, Gil., Memphis. Tenn., and St. I.ouis.
The.y teach the touch method of typ -
writing by an original mechanical de-
vice of their own. giviug the student a
thorough training on the various makes
of single and double shift midlines in
almost half the time that has formerly
been required by the old methods.
Students are enrolling iu great numbers
for the ini i-wtuter term, This school
expects to enroll from 150 to I'M) students
during the mouths of January and Feb-
uary. As every young man and lady
should equip themselves with a practi-
cal education that will enable them to
make an honest living ami lay up so me-
thing for a rainy day, we suggest that
they write the Tyler Commercial Col-
lege of Tyler, Texas, for their large free
catalogue and familiarize themselves
with ,the workings of this up-to-date
Institution, and enroll •.villi them at your
earliest convenience.
