and financier of the west
died at his home in St. Paul,
Sunday night after an
oiperation.

Hon- Jonathan Lane, one of
the leading attorneys of Texas,
and formerly assistant attor-
ney general, died at Port Aran-
sas last Saturday after a long
illness. His home was In Hous-
ton and he had gone to the
coast for his health, but too
late and death relieved his suf-
ferings and removed from the
legal fraternity an able member
and from the state a useful cit-
izen.

Waide is an old time newspaper
man of Georgia and is making
a splendid paper for the people
of Calvert and Robertson coun-
ty. Calvert has had some"
trouble in the recent past with
its newspaper as those who
have been in control did not
seem to devot$ the time neces-
sary to getting out a good pa-
per. Mr. Waide is competent
and is devoting his ^entire time
to the business and if the peo-
ple of that thriving city will
support him as his efforts de-
serve they will have solved the
newspaper problem for Calvert.
Success to you, Friend Waide.
THE CLASS Of 16
'Col. John S. Mosby, the fa-
mous Confederate cavalry raid-
er, died at his home in Wash-
ington a few days ago. One of
Mosby's followers was Mr. W.
A. Buckner, father of our
townsman, Will Buckner, and
who died only a few years ago.
Colonel Mosby was 82 years old
at the time of his death, and up
to a short while ago was active
and a prominent figure in
Washington.
The editor has just returned
from a three hundred mile
swing through Central Texas,
and noted that the people are
busy in their crops and Old
Grass will soon be dead. In
the Brazos country west of
Hearne and Bryan crops are
looking good, while in the san-
dy land in Eastern part of Rob-
ertson county things are com-
ing right along. A few days
more of good weather and the
people will be up with their
work and ready for the picnic
season.
The Daily Avalanche, just
launched at Groesbeck by Ed-
itor Ira Lawley of the Journal,
is before us. The first issue
shows the work of an editor as
it is full of good, live news mat-
ter of a general nature as well
as locally. The candidates for
county offices are using the
Avalanche liberally in setting
their claims before the people
and several pictures decorate
the columns of the issue before
us. The Avalanche is a bright
little paper and we congratulate
Editor Lawley on its appear-
ance and wish him the success
his efforts deserve,

county have petitioned Editor
Frank Estes of the Central
Texan, published at Franklin,
to allow the use of his name as
a candidate for the legislature, White, Fred Karner. R. A. Par-
Among the numerous festiv
ities honoring the Senior Class
of '16 one of the most charming
in plan and execution was a
Lawn Fete given Wednesday
afternoon, May 24th, by the
Sponsor of the class, Mrs. T.
Frank Smith.
The lawn was made most at-
tractive with rugs, cushions,
rustic benches, hammocks and
swings, and its beauty was
greatly enhanced by great beds
of gorgeous colored nasturti-
ums on every side. This was
the chosen Class Flower, and
Mrs. Smith had planted them in
generous profusion to be used
in the decorations for that
crowning occasion of High
School life, the graduation ev
ening.
A unique feature was intro-
duced during the afternoon
which created much merriment.
Two books, .containing sealed
pages—one entitled "Advice to
My Friends," the other "The
Truth About Myself"—were
passed through the crowd.
Each guest was asked to write
his or her name upon the front
of a sealed page. After all had
written, a pen-knife clipped the
seals, disclosing on the inside
much wholesome advice, and
many unwholesome Truths
which caused much mirth when
read aloud.
The guests were asked to cut
for the books as souvenir of the
occasion. Misses Ida Nuss-
baum and Will-Etta White were
the fortunate ones.
When the time for departure
drew near the hostess had
brought on the lawn a table
bearing upon it a huge pink
rose, fashioned from crepe pa-
per, from the heart of which
radiated pink and green ribbon
streamers. Each guest was
told to draw one of the stream-
ers, when lo! from out of the
pink depths of the rose came
forth a beautiful souvenir—
something that could long be
cherished by the members of i
the Class of '16 in memory of
this most happy occasion. For
the girls there were pink satin
rose corsages, the heart of each
rose being a tiny bag drawn up
with bebe ribbon and contain-
ing a tiny powder puff; for the
boys there were rub-a-dub-dubs
of green leather.
The pink and white color
motif was carried out in the re-
freshment course of brick
cream and cake.
Mrs. Smith was assisted in
receiving by Mesdames T. A.

many years as a farmer and
later as an editor, and should

probably be without opposition,

County will have cause to feel

word.
