EDNA ERLINE VICKREY
Oh Thursday morning, April 8th,
between the hours of six and seven,
God sent his Angel to take the spirit
of Edna Erline to live with Jesus.
She was the baby daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. F. Vickery of Mosheim.
Budded here on earth, only 6 months
and 23 days, and she goes to bloom in
God’s garden. She leaves father,
mother, grandparents, brothers, sis-
ters, uncle and aunts to mourn her
death.
Oh! It’s so lonely without her but
God knows best. We can not tell who
may fall beneath Thy chasting rod;
one must be first but let us all pre-
pare to meet cur God and baby Erline
on that Golden Shore.
Farewell sweet baby Erline, farewell,
For .we shall meet no more;
Till we are raised with thee to dwell
On the happy golden shore.
Our baby, lo, is dead;
The cold and lifeless clay
Has made in dust its silent bed,
And there it must decay.
But is she dead? No, no, she lives,
Her happy spirit flies
To Heaven above and receives
The sweet expected prize.
Farewell, Baby Erline, farewell
Soon we shad rise to thee,
And when we meet no tongue can
tell
How great' our joy shall be.
—A Friend.

Members of the Chautauqua con-
tract held a meeting Monday night to
perfect an organization that will put
the seventh consecutive program
over. The Chautauqua will no doubt
get one of the strongest supports
that it has ever enjoyed locally, not
only because of the strong program
which it offers, but also because peo-
ple are becoming more and more con-
vinced that it is a moral and educa-
tional benefit to. a community. Neith-
er are people locally so crowded in
social activities, but what they may
justly feel that they can. afford to
spend the time and money for a few
days of wholesome entertainment.
There are forty-four on the contract,
and every member is on some com-
mittee.
Highway Commissioner Mr. John
M. Cage of Stephenville, on his re-

The Four Company today in open-
ing up for business found that it had
been the host to unpleasant visitors
in .the night. Burglars had broken in,
presumably in the early part of the
morning and gotten away with their
adding machine, typewriter, a large
number of shoes, shirts, pants, ladies
silk hose, razors, pookete .knives,
hats, caps, rnd toilet articles. The
loss is estimated at about $500. The
burglars gamed entrance through
two windows, and also pried open a
door leading up into the hall. By the
marks on. the doors, three attempts
had been made at Bomstad’s store
and one attempt at the drug store,
none of whieh were successful. No
cihe has been found as yet that wih
lead to any arrest. However, it is be-
lieved that they are a part of sojne
organized gang operating out of some
larger city where many of these ar-
ticles will be sold. The Four Co. is
offering a reward of 50 per cent of the
value of any article recovered if con-
viction can be had. This is the most
severe burglary our city has ever ex-
perienced and was the first one for
several year*. Sheriff Lowry Lewis
and Deputy Baxter were summoned
over to try to work out some clue.
