This week was Majestic de-
monstration week at L. H.
Moore & Sons. The object of
this demonstration week was
to show to the people the many
advantages and superior <iuali
ties the Great and Grand Ma-
jectic Range had over othei
stoves or ranges. All during
the week light lunch was serv-
ed cooked from this wonderful
range and judging from the
excellent cake that was brought
to the Hekalu office by Mr.
Moore the co >king qualities of
the stove could not be improved
upon. If you #tre in need of a
range it would pay you . to see
his stock before buying.

The largest audience of the
season assembled at the new*
opera house last night to wit-
ness the Sjieddeu-Paige Co.
in “Thelma,” a dramatization
of Marie Correlli’s famous
novel. In their rendition of
the play this popular company
maintained the high standard
they have set in their different
productions during the week,
and it will be with genuine
regret that the theatre-going
public of Yoakum sees them
close their engagement with
tonight’s performance. Not
only as talented actors have
the members of the company
gained the good will of our
people, but by their agreeable
personalities off the stage as
well. They will Hnd a hearty
welcome awaiting them should
they return to Yoakum at any
time in the future.
Tonight the company will
conclude their engagement in
our city with “Mary Jane” as
the bill. This is a comedy,
written for laughing purposes
only, and if you enjoy a good
hearty laugh attend and you
will not be disappointed.

Tbe announcement of the.
death of Mrs. W. B. Hawkins of
Austin will be sad news to her
many friends of this section.
The death occured at her nome
in Austin Saturday night. The
remains were shipped to her old
home at Halletsville for burial
where they were laid to rest

Mrs. Hawkins, with her hus-
band, came to Lavaca County

For nearly a quarter of a century
she conducted a hotel at Hallets-
ville. Some three years ago she
sold out and moved to Austin to
spend her last days. She had
reached a very mature age, be-
ing at the time of her death
aoout seventy years old.
She has been in bad health
for several months and last sum-
mer spent several weeks in Hal-
letsville with old friends in the
hope that her condition might
improve.
Her husband W. B. Hawkins
and son John W. Hawkins ac-
companied the remains to their
last resting place ana passed
through Yoakum today on their
way home.

The Messengers from the
Yoakum Baptist Church to the
Colorado Baptist Association
which convened in Eagle Lake
last week have all returned.
The following were in attend-
ance from this place:
Mrs. R. W. Dodd
Mrs. G. J. Burleigh
Mrs. J. S. Youngkin
Mrs. Julius Franks.
Miss Minnie Lawrence

Rev. J. T. Hoi Ian

There were something near
a hundred visitors and and
messengers in attendance—one
of the largest representations
the body has ever had.
The sixty third annual ses-
sion was organized by the elec-
tion of the following officers:
R. A. Armstrong of Wharton,
Moderator.
j. W, Cook of Yoakiuu. Clerk
M. M, Wolf of Palacios, Cor.
Sec. and Treasurer.
The reports from the various
committees showed the work
done in this territory during
the past year highly satisfac-
tory.
One of the pleasing features
of the year’s work was the ad-
mission into the correlated
system of Texas Baptist schools
Palacios College of which Rev.
M. M. Wolf is president.
Rev. J. A. Stephen of El
Carnpo waB elected Missionary
of the Association tor the en*
suing year.
The next meeting of the body
will be at Palacios on Wednes-
day night before the second
Sunday in October 1911,
and dance when we hear his|
me, we swear he’s gathered
immortal fame; we Hnd his
picture on every page when the
papers come to our hermitage,
and our heads swell up fora
half a mile if the great man
gives us a pleasant smile. But
the man who’s making this
country great is not a fellow of
high estate, He doesn’t ride
in a palace car and tell the
crowds what his pipedreams
are. He doesn’t hold that the
corner rock of the government
in a mass of talk. He does his
work and he saws his wood;
his life is clean and his credit
good; he loves his home and
he loves his wife, and he does
not yearn for the circus life; he
pays his debts and he goes to
church, and helps the neighbor
who’s in the lurch. He doesn’t
lecture his fellow rann, who’s
doubtless doing the best he
can. He shuns the noise of the
world’s applause, his hands are
busy, and not his jaws; he
walks through life with a fear-
less tread, and dies at last like
a thoroughbred,—Walt Mason.

influence for the very best in-
terests of his district and State.

broad and liberal views, a man

Lorimkr’s fate is still un-

decree of the investigating
committee may exonerate him
but his fate in public opinion
is fixed. He is the most colos-

others but they have so far
escaped the attention of the
public.
