MRS M.M. SMITH AT REST
Mrs. Alice Smith, wife of M.
M. Smith, deceased, died at her
residence norfh of Cumby, Octo-
ber 22, 1912, and wa3 buried
next d«y in the Cumby cemetery.
The funeral was preached by
Rev. Compere, the Baptist pas-
tor. Mrs. Smith was born in
Meriwether county, Georgia, 66
years ago, was married there
and came to Texas about 40 years
ago, and settled near Jefferson,
remained there eight years an d
moved near Sulphur Springs
where the family stayed one
year. They then moved to the
old home place north of Cumby.
She leaves six boys, four of
whom are married, and one
daughter, Mrs. W. H. Blunt,
south of Cuinby, and all are
worthy and exemplary citizens
and occupy high places in the
esteem of the people.
Mrs. Smith survived her hus-
band only nine and a half months.
She had been an invalid for the
last ten years and was only wait-
ing patiently for the call to enter
into rest. Soon after her hus-vo; e
band’s death she told the child-
ren she was ready and anxious
fhr the end and anticipated with
joy the day that would bring re- ,

ATTENTION
DEMOCRATS
4
To the Democrats of the First
Congressional District of Texas
It is now only a few days un-
til the election. Permit me to
urge each and every one Gf you
to go to the polls and vote. Be
sure to do so, urge your neigh-
bor to do so It is true the ticket
is in no danger, but it will he in
danger if you do not vote. If
your neighbors stay* at home and
fail to vote as you perhaps may
do, enough of you may* fail to
vote to endanger, the ticket.
rhi..s is the hope of the opposi-
tion. Notwithstanding they are
not saying much about it, the op-
posit k>n parties are on the alert.
The It 'publicans and the Bull
Moose are each doing their best
to prove their respective parties
the stronger, and the Socialists
are active and will vote. If Dem-
ocrats fail to vote, it is possible
for one or the other of these par-
ties to poll such a vote as may
either elect some of its caai dates
this time, or at least make it
very troublesome in the future.
You may expect the epp sition
parties to poll their full strength
at this election. Let it be a
matter of pride with you that
you helped the Democratic party
to poil its full strength. We
are going to elect a Democratic
President this year. It is true
our nominees for President aud
Vice President will get 20 elec-
toral votes from Texas whether
their majority of the popular
vote is large ox—jamah Brit the
Democrats of Texas should do
all in their power to help our
nominees receive a majority of
the popular vote in toe United
States. The larger the popular
vote in Texas, the larger wiil be
the popular vote for our nomi-
nees in the whole country. The
moral effect of a great popular
victory will bo felt immediately
and for years to come. Lot no
Democrat- deceive himseif into
believing that it is unnecessary
or useless for him to vote. Be
assured that if you sleep at tho
post of duty on November the
5tb, the opposition will surprise
you and mayr win the tho battle.
Let every Democrat vote and
hang out his sign that day no-
tifying his neighbors to vote.
I do not wish to make this ap-
peal too long, but I cannot close
without urging every voter and
especially every Democrat to
vote for the proposed amend-
ment to section 51 of article 3 of
the constitution, so as to give the
Legislature power to provide
sufficient pensions fvir indigent
and disabled Confederate Soldi-
ers and sailors and ♦heir widows,
and authorizing the levying of a
sufficient tax not to exceed five
cents on the hundred dollars, so
as to collect enough money to
pay the pensions that should be
given to these old heroes and
widows. The present provision
of the Constitution upon the
subject has been found inade-
quate, and many confederate
veterans, who will not receive
any pensions, and are interested
only in behalf of their less fortu-
nate survivors, and many camps
of confederate veterans have
pointed out that the present pro-
vision is inadequate, and have
suggested the amendment that U
to be voted upon. If there were
no other cause to move you to go
to the polls and vote on Nov. 5,
your duty to vote for this amend-
ment should curry you to the
polls on election day and carry
your neighbor with you.

THE MAN BEHIND
We don’t mean the man be-
hind the times, nor the man be-
hind in his payments. Julius
Ciesar was “the man behind’’
Rome. Washington was “the
man behind” the Unite 1 Strte3
at a crisis in its history. Every
j successful business venture, no
I matter how humble, has ‘‘a man
behind;” the mau who shoulders
the responsibility and plans the
campaign, who posses those qual-
ities that bring success to him
and to those associated with him
in business.
Young man! if you wish to be
“the mau behind” a successful
enterprise, attend the Tyler
Commercial C dlege of Tyler,
Texas, America’s largest sch )ol
of Bookkeeping, Business Ad-
ministration and Finance, Short-
hand and Telegraphy. V itli
such efficiency as this school will
give you, the time will come
when you will be “the man be-
hinti” a successful enterprise;
when you will become a factor in
the business-; world, aud your
name a synomym of success,
again exemplifying the fact that
with educated head and skilled
hands, young men and women
can carve their names upon the
tallest towers of fame.
We have now more students in
daily attendance than any other
three commercial schools in the
state combined. This shows the
overwhelming popularity of the
Tyler Commercial College. ft
shows that the people appreciate
the advantages of the famous
Byrne systems, which save' the
student, while qualifying himself
to hold a good position', almost
$200 in time aud board over
what it would cost in a school,
teaching other system^.
We can place you in a good po-
sition just as soon as your course
is finished. Write for catalogue
and make your arrangements to
enter at onc3.
You will find the latest
novelties in Ladies neck-
wear, washable trim-
mings, Coronation braid,
Embroidery Floss, etc. at
