fATUM DIES AFTER
LONG ILLNESS
ares have their time to (alt.
ad, flowers to wither at the North
Wind’s breath,
stars to set;—but all,
I Thou hast all seasons for thine
own, O Death!”
Miss Willie Mae Tatum died at the
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
C. Tatum, of West Dublin at one-
lye A. M. Monday merging, March
«. IMS. '
Miss Tatum had been sick since the
th of last November with throat
trouble. - From the first it was
thought that this brave young Woman
hod a chance to recover and every-
thing Was done by her loved ones,
her physicians and nurses to restore
her to health but the disease with
its tenacious grip held on and in the
end won the battle after weeks and
weeks of patient waiting, watching
and suffering on the part of this
lovely gM who loved life but at the
same time looked death calmly in the
face and read Its njysttc meaning
which only the parting soul may
know. In early childhood she hud
learned to trust her God and through
her girlhood and young womanhood
she had lived a consecrated chiistian
life, without ostentation, going about_
in her quiet unassuming way doing
the work in the Master's vineyard
which she found to do. During the
long days and nights when racked
with pain and suffering she looked to
the giver of all goo I things for com-
fort and when the end came she was
ready to go for .in her heart she
knew all was well with her.
Miss Tatum was born March 5.
1901. When a mere child she came
with her parents to- Dublin where she
attended the public school, graduat-
ing In the class of 1919. Shortly after
leading school she entered the em-
ploy of the Southwestern-Bell Tele-
phone Company where for nearly
seven years she maintained an en-
viable record for courtesy, service
efficiency. After two years as
operator she was given the post
of Chief Operator, a position she held
itll the time of her illness.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Methodist church of which she
was a member, at two o’clock Wed-
nesday afternoon .March ISth; Rev.
' Curry officiating assisted by Rev.
Gordon Barrett and Rev. D. C. Gaf-
ford. The active pall bearers were
1 six young men of the Sunday School,
honorary pall bearers being the fol-

NEW BAND LEADER
ARRIVED THIS WEEK
Mr. A. G. Masey arrived in Dublin
this week to assume charge of the
Municlpaf Band. Mr. Masey comes
highly recommended both as a musl-
*jf the fam-
clan and a band leader, having play--r
In accordance with the Instructions
of the teacher’s institute of last Sep-
ed In some of the ibest bands and or-
chestras In Texas. The band is in
fine condition and are making rapid
advancement, having comp, through
the year with many fine concerts to
their credit. Ail the boys have been
interested in tbeir music and on prac-
tice nights have always had a good-
ly number answering roll call. The
business men have stood behind this
organization and have encouraged
them In many ways. A live town
needs a band and a good band lead-
er and its tak&s money to finance
it so let us all get in behind the band
and all help a little to keep them
going so It will not be a hardship on
a few-. A band is almost a necessity
to a wide awake town and now that
we have it started let’s keep It going.
Every citizen in Dublin should attend
the concerts and applaud when they
appreciate a good piece. It is the lit-
tle thihgs in life that counts and a
musician In a band is not averse to
a little applause When he and his
comrades have done their'best. We
welcome Mr. Massey among us and
trust he will accomplish many good
things for the band.
FILM SHOWS WO LED
IN THE YEAR OF 1950
’’The Last Man on Earth,’’ an
Amusing story of life in 1950 opens
at the Majestic Theatre on Monday
and Tuesday.
This highly imaginative fantasy by
John D. Swain first appeared in
Munsey’s Magazine, and was produc-
ed at the Fox West Coast Studios un-
der the direction of Jack Blystone.
It presents the unique situation of. a
world suddenly denuded of all men
throuh a strange disease called
"masculltls." For ten years woman
explorers kept up a search for an
adult male but without aucess until
a woman crook stumbled upon a her-
mit living far away from civilization
in the depths of a large forest. She
takes him back and sells him to the
nation for ten million dollars. From
this point on the story develops a
series of surprises that prove' as
amusing as they are thrilling.
Earle Foxe plays the title role, and
DerlyB Perdue is cast in the feminine
lead opposite him. The cast also in-
cludes Grace Cunard, Gladys Tenny-
son, Maryan Aye, Clarissa Selwynn,
Pauline French, William Steele, Jean
Dumas, Hatry Dunkinson. Fay Hol-
derness, Jean Johnson. Buck dllack
and Maurice Murphey. Donald Lee
prepared the scenerio.
