DR. FUNCHESS HURT.
A serious runaway occurred_.Mon-
day evening, in which Dr. G. T. Fun-
chess was seriously if not fatally in-
jured. Dr. Funchess was sitting in
his buggy in the center ^>f the square;
Clarence Hurst was making an ex-
change of bridles with him; just as
he slipped the bridle off Dr. Funchess’
horse the animal became frightened
and ran across the square, turning
down Jefferson street; Dr. Funchess
was powerless to stop the frenzied'an-
imal, and just as the buggy turned
the Court House corner, he jumped to
save himself; his head struck the
concrete curb; a blood vessel was
bursted in his head and he was un-
conscious for some time, having con-
vulsions that night.
He is still in a critical condition,
but is improving, and while his injury
is very serious, hope is held out for
his recovery.
DR. LONG SACK.
The many friends of Dr. W. W.
Long will be pleased to learn that he
has decided not to leave Sulphur
Springs. He has been out of the
practice here for several months hat-
ing been doing hospital work in Dal-
las, with a possible view of locating
there permanently. But he has de
cided to cast his lot with us for all
time; has opened offices over the
City National Bank and is building a
fine home on Davis street. He also
expects to build a nice suit of offices
for his practice some time this fall,
or early next year.

ENGINE AND GRADER CONTE8T.
A contest or competitive trial of
engine, graders and such other road
making machinery as may be contem-
plated by Precinct One, can be had
for the asking.
I have seen the machinery now on
the ground and am convinced that I
can offer and show something better.
I will put* an outfit here, work it fof
such time as may be agreed upon at
ply own expense, prove that it is a
better outfit for making and main-
taining roads than the machinery now
on the ground and my price is about
one thousand dollars less than is
asked for the machinery now on trial.
I pay all expense of shipping in and
operating and will leave it to the
Commissioners Court to decide as to
the relative merit of the machines of-
fered. F. T. WOODWARD.

H. G. YORK.
We of today enjoy many privileges,
and but a few of the people think
seriously as to the persons who are
responsible for these conditions.
None have' done more, with less re-
ward than the pioneer preachers, who
went from schoolhouse to brush arbor
and preached the Gospel. Any new
country must have the preacher to
develop rightly, but he must be one
who has more love than laziness, and
a stronger desire to see men saved
than to accumulate a fortune. The
writer of the Hebrews speaks of those
of whom the world was not worthy.
It has been most ugworthy Of the sac-
rifices of the minister vof- the early
days. f
Brother H. G. York was one of this
class. He was bora in Alabama in
1846 on the 27, of March. He died
in Sulphur Springs, Texas, August 7th,
1913. When the war broke out be-
tween the states he enlisted on the
side of the Confederacy and suffered
on the bloody battle field and in the
damp prison.
When he was 25 years old he mar-
ried Miss Kate Dlson of Georgia, who
lives to mourn his departure. To this
union . 8 children were born, three
of whom are now living.
Shortly after his marriage he was
converted, and began in the same year
to preach the Gospel which he con-
tinued when he was able till death
called him home. His ministerial life
was spent in three states, Alabama,
Arkansas and Texas. He has done
most acceptable work as pastor of
several churches In this county for
many years.
Like most men of this day, he did
not have the very best educational ad-
vantages; yet he improved all he had
and became a well-informed man. He
POasesaed unusual native abilityhav-
ing a vivid imagination, and a ready
humor. He knew how to make a sac-
rifice and he had many occasions to
do so until he died.
We are spending much money erect-
ing monuments to dead soldiers, and'
I am glad to see this respect for the
honored dead. In some places we are
erecting monuments to the memory of
mothers, and I think this most com-
mendable. But have we not forgotten
something? How about the old preach-
er who has toiled and suffered, cruci-
fying.ambition and ease? He deserves
cur highest praise.

THE REUNION OF PROF. J. O. MIN-
TED AND PUPILS.
The farmer pupils of Prof. J. O.
Minter, at Old Hickory Hill, wishing
to honor their beloved ex-teacher and
desiring also to bring about a re-
union of teacher and pupils, extended
a general invitation to all former pu-
pils to meet at Hickory Hill school
house Tuesday, August 26, 1913.

clared in order and we listened to
short appropriate speeches from
Messrs. J. O. Minter, Wess Hogan,
Jim Williams, G. Z. Minter and Mar-
cus Penn.
It was then desired to go into a

T. G. GOBER KILLED.
Cranford Carroll, Formerly of Como.
Kills Brother-In-Law At Temple. .
Judge Pierson refused to grant two
divorced last week, lecturing the dis-
satisfied help-mates and advising
them that there was no just cause for
severing of the marital ties.
Meagre reports from Temple toll
of the killing of T. G. Gober, at that
place on Wednesday evening, by his
brother-in-law, Cranford Carroll, form-
lerly of Como.
Gober resided in this city for a time
last year and during his residence
here was married to Miss Phronie
Carroll, of Como. They moved from
here to Como and then to Temple,
where the tragedy occurred. Ill
treatment of his wife is said to have
been the cause of the trouble which
resulted in Gober’s death.
Cranford Carroll was raised at
Como, and comes of a good family. It
is evident that he was justifiable in
the homicide, as his bond was fixed
at only $1,000.
The grand jury is doing hard and
zealous* work, and a number of bills
will likely be returned tomorrow or
next day.
The criminal docket will be taken
up next week.
