Stephenville Man’s Advice
Saved Morris Sheppard
A Stephenville mans advice no
doubt had something to do with
Morris Sheppard drawing out of
the Senatorial race last winter.’
Mr. J. M. Killian general man-
ager of the S. N. A S’ T. is the
gentleman referred to. He and
Mr. Sheppard chanced to meet
in a Texarkana hotel and break-
fasted together. Mr. Killian’s
wife and Mr. Sheppard are first
cousins. During the repast Kil-
lian noticed that Sheppard wi
quite nervous and that he looked
wbrn and weary. He chided him
about a man so young in yeai
and of such good habits being
“all in” to early in Ufa. Mr.
Killian saw what waa.wronj
He knew that Mr. Sheppvd was
worked down and advimd him. to
gat out of politics and take a
much needed rest
Soon after this meeting Mr.
Sheppard announced the with-
drawal of hit candidacy for the
United States 8enatorship and
repaired to Michigan sanita-
rium. He was yet in the health
resort two months later when
Mr. Johnson withdrew from the

Death spared Grandma Wil-
lingham seventy six years and
then permitted her to cross over
with very little if any suffering.
She had only been sick about
thirteen hours when the worn
old eyes that had looked with
compassion and tender solicitude
upon all the sick and affleted that
had come under their observa-
tion, closed forever on earthly
scenes last Friday morning. *
Mia. Willingham was born in
Missouri Feb, 10. 1886, and had

while Curtis is a popular condue-
she was a eMH. She was the tor-fiD the S. N. 4 8. T. railroad
mother of eleven children, only
three of whom survive her, name-
ly: John Willingham, Mrs. WiU
Fulkenon and Mr*. Jim English.
Under many disadvantages the
good mother not only raised her
own children successfully but al-
so did the part of a mother by
her grandchildren, Roy and Neva
Beach, who were left motherless
when little more than mere ba-
bies. i Ml of them appreciated
what the noble woman had done
for their comfort through life
and the funeral at West End
Saturday afternoon was one of
the saddest on account of the
deep grief of these to whom she
had been po devoted and who in
return loved her so dearly.
It has been said there was
never a more industrious woman
than Mrs. Willingham. It seemed
ahe was not comfortable unless
the was busy and hers was a
busy life. Mrs. Fulkerson, with
whom she lived, says she had
been as busy as usual on Thurs-
day, until she suddenly became
ill at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
If the editor were called upon
to auggeet a suitable epitaph for
Grandma’s tomb, he would use
the 8avior’s words concerning
another good woman: She Hath
Done What She Could. V
At the residence of the bride’s
mother Mrs. Pendleton,Saturday
morning at 9 ooclock Rev. Ernest

united in wedlocks holy bonds

Mrs. Curtis is known by all as
one of the best young women
ever reared in Stephenville, and
the Empire is sure that every
citizen of the town will join us
in wishing the fair bride and her
husband much happiness and
prosperity.
Prater—Roden:
The West Times thus tells of
the marriage of a Stephenville
merchant to a lady of West, who
are now at home in this city: >
