JAMES HURST BURIED
HOOD PAYS TRIBUTE
TO HIS MEMORY
to his native state where he was mar-
ried to Miss Rhoda Ann Lane. They
came back to Texas and for a time
lived In the counties to the oast ot us
i then moved to Parker where practical-
ly all of the rest of their long lives
were spent Twelve children were
j born to them of whom ten survive
Parker and seven are present on this occas-
ion. The mother passed on a few
years ago. leaving a beautiful mem-
ory to her children.
"I remember in my eariy days when
The body of James Hurst,
county pioneer, arrived from Plain-
view on the Sunshine Special Friday
at 1:40 p. m. and was conveyed di-
rectly to the little church at Spring
Creek where the funeral ceremonies!, aV"a‘“‘“7
were conducted before the body was * Spr!n*town- readlnS a P*
laid to rest. In the cemetery close at
hand.
Considering the fact that It had not
become generally known in the coun-
try that Mr. Hurst was dead, there
was an unusually large gathering of
ta for rbwt puttl
| Parker county on a cash basis. Ha
also a member of the legislature
two terma. the l«th and the 18th
and year* afterward when I was a
member of the legislature, I recall
well, how the members who had
known and served with him came to
me and talked ot Hurst and hia great
qualities of mind. His mind waa
keen and uncanny in its prophetic
logic. Years ago he foresaw and
outlined the present state of things.
“James Hurst was an extraordinary
man in mind, life, type and citizenship.
He lived to be 92 years of age; be
lost his eyesight; he lost his hear
ing; but he was uncomplaining. He
ts gone now. but his example and his
teachings will live on and on.
“Whether he remembers I do not
know. Whether he Is conscious of
this life and tnis earth, I do not pre-
tend to say. But I do not believe all
of this life is a fleeting shadow and
passes away Into nothingness. Some-
where there must be a place where
the soul lives on and where James
Hurst has found a dwelling. Peace
be to his ashes and everylasting love
to his memory.”

per that was published by H. Smythe
a brilliant but undeserving man. I
was always a great reader and look-
ed forwrd to the coming of that paper.
Smythe was intense in his hatreds
and friendships. For him there was

TEACHER
AND ITS PEOPLE
Miss Leona Nichols, who is In the;
city visiting her parents after two*
years of missionary teaching In the
Eliza Bowman School of Cleofuegos.
Cuba, spoke at the Couts Memorial
Church, Sunday night on the schools,
missionary work and customs and
manners of the people of Cuba. One
of the first things sbe had to do, Miss
Nichols said, on arriving in Cuba, waa
to convince the people that sbe was
not from New York. They seem to
have the curious idea that there is no-
thing of the United States but New
York.
The speaker said that she had not
been all over the island of Cuba, but
had been to the south coast and to
Havana, the largest city. In Havana
the streets are so narrow, she said
that one must often stand flat against
a wall to let a street car pass in go-
ing up and down the street. The
houses are all built of stone and are
very expensive, but the law forbids
the construction of wooden buildings
because of the rats.
Education in Cuba is somewhat cen-
tevod in Havana, but to show how
badly off Cuba is in an educational
way, Miss Nichols stated that there
are only ten schools in all the island,
three of which are for girls.
The woman of Cuba is not the mod-

who came to pay their last respects
to the man whom they had known for
so long and who had done so much to-
ward the upbuilding of the county.
First there was a song, followed by
a scripture reading and prayer by Dr.
S. D. Logan. Then Hon. R. B. Hood
delivered a short address in which he
recounted hi» memories of the charac-
ter and mental powers of Mr. Hurst
and told of some of the events of his
life. The speaker said In part:
“I have been asked to make some
remarks on this occasion and it is a
great pleasure for me to do so. For
I feel impelled of my own accord to
say something in memory of Jame3
Hurst. It is sad to say farewell, es-
pecially to say farewell forever to
those wo love and who love us. But
it ls-a way that we must all travel—
dotfq • the river of life, having its
sourdfc at birth and winding on down
until it comes at last to the sea of
death. Here all become equal—the
Croesus of wealth and the pauper, the
one clad in velvet and the one in rags.
Here the^ouMv.urd acquirements of sta-
tion and wealth are forgotten and the
inward qualities of soul and mind are
’•erne mb ere d.
“James Hurst was 92 years old at
the time- of* his death. He was born
in Tndfa-ra in 1881 and came to Texas
discern and to recognize true worth
and great qualities of mind and heart.
I remember well what Smythe said
of Hurst: "$Jot all the millions of mo-
ney in the world could cause him to
swsrve from the course he thought to
be right.” It has been my privilege
to meet many men In many classes of
society and 1 say without hesitation
that I never met a man of more slm-
i.ple and unpretentious manners, of
! more unspotted soul, or of a sounder
‘Intellect than James Hurst. He was
ono of throe men—only three—who
have fulfilled my idea of a philosopher.
His mind traced causes and effects un-
erringly to their logical conclusion. In
a speech I heard him deliver one time
toe laid down the principles of govern-
ment in the most able manner that I
have ever heard.
“I became intimately acquainted
with this man. I stayed at his house
when I was a candidate and traveling
about the country. And 1 came to
know him as a man of feeling, who
wore his heart on hie sleeve. He was
a man of no pretensions^ but was not
an ordinary man. He was the old
school type of Southern gentleman. He
was decided in his views of life and
lived and died by those views.
“Mr. Hurst was a member of the
G. W. Sandlin, age about sixty-five,
and father of W. A. Sandlin of this
city. State Bank Examiner, died at
the family home in Glen Rose, Sunday
morning, after an illness extending
over several months. He was taken;ern woman
to the Temple hospital about six! world. -There, the old ideas of fifty
