After an illness of two weeks Aunt
Martha Green, who is better known
as Grandmother Green, passed away
Tuesday evening, May 2, in the home
of her son, J. V. Piper. Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o’clock, she was laid
to rest by a number of friends and
relatives in the Hines Chapel ceme-
tery six miles north of Adamsville.
Bro. Byars of Adamsville conducted
the service. O. D. Pierce, undertaker
of Hamilton, had charge of the re-
mains. Pall bearers: John Landwer-
meyer, Dallas; Joe Piper, Adamsville;
, Forrest Venable, Goldthwaite; J. V.
I Piper Jr., Adamsville; Luther Piper,
Adamsville; William Lee Piper,
Adamsville. Flower girls: Chax'line
Faubion, Nora Ella Faubion, Geor-
gia Sneed, Mary Evelyn Willy, Mar-
garet Green, Inez Sorrels, all of
Adamsville.
Martha Green was born November
9, 1840, near Huntingdon, Cax'roll
County, Tenn. She was married to
E. L. Piper in 1860, and to this union
there were bora four children, two.
boys and two girls: Mattie Ellis, Es-
tacado, Texas, deceased; Lillian
Landwermeyer, Terrell, Texas, de-
ceased; W. A. Piper, Adamsville, Tex-
as; J. V. Piper, Adamsville, Texas.
Grandmother Green and husband,
E. L. Piper, came to Terrell, Kauf-
man County, Texas, in 1860 and re-
mained there until 1868 when they
moved near Bloomfield, Stoddard
County, Missouri. At the death of
E. L. Piper in 1874, grandmother was
left a widow with four children to
care for. In 1864 she and family re-
turned to Terrell, Kaufman County,
Texas. In 1887 she manned J. C.
Green, deceased, a widower with five
children, who lived three mile's north
of Adamsville.
At an early age grandmother pro-
fessed faith in Christ and' this faith
was strengthened each succeeding day
of her life. A short time after her
conversion she affiliated with the
Presbyterian Church and was a de-
vout worker until in her declining
years her health prohibited active
service in the Lord’s work. In this
state of decrepitude she often sat
reading the word of God, or listened
to its reading. While sitting on the
western slope of life, watching the
approach of the evening shadows, she
sometimes wondered why her Savior
did not call her home to join those
loved ones who had gone on. With
the passing of grandmother, we lose
one, who was a friend to many, a
devoted wife, a faithful mother and
a true and cheerful Christian even in
death.
Grandmother is survived by two
sons, W. A. Piper and J. V. Piper of
Adamsville; five step-children, H. A.

RUPTURE
SHIELD EXPERT HERE
H. M. SHEVNAN, widely
known expert of Chicago, will
personally be at the Doering
Hotel, Temple, Thursday and
Friday only, May 11 and 12,
from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M.
Mr. Shevnan says: The Zoetic
Shield is a tremendous improve-
ment over all former methods,
effecting immediate results. It
will not only hold the rupture
perfectly but increase the cir-
culation, strengthens the weak-
ened parts, thereby closes the
opening in ten days on the av-
erage case, regardless of heavy
lifting, straining or any posi-
tion the body may assume no
matter the size or location. A
nationally known scientific
method. No under straps or
cumbersome arrangements and
absolutely no medicines or med-
ical treatments.
Mr. Shevnan will be glad to
demonstrate without charge or
fit them if desired. Add. 6605

FERGUSONS FAIL TO PUT OVER
ANY PET MEASURES
AUSTIN, Texas, May 6.—With the
Forty-Second legislature nearing a
close the comment is being made here
that the Ferguson administration has
failed to put over its most cherish-
ed plans and that disappointment has
been experienced with every major
X'ecommendation made.
No attention has been paid to the
last two written recommendations
made, that the natural x-esoUrce com-
mission be created to take over the
oil and gas functions of the railroad
commission and that the board of
pardons and paroles be abolished and
its duties given to the secx-etary of
state.
By a two-to-one vote the senate
killed the natural resource commis-
sion bill after it had passed the house
and neither branch has taken up the
pax-don board abolition.
Elective Commission Feature.
Prior to that, the house struck out
of the elective highway commission
measure a pi'ovision which would
have permitted the governor to ap-
point the new board of five members
and-thus give him control of it for
several years. That would have
ousted the pxtesent Commiseion, a
majority of which hold their office
beyond Mrs. Ferguson’s two years.
Confirmation by two-thirds vote
was refused Frank L. Denison as a
member of the highway commission
and his claim that a majority vote
confirmed him is in the coux’ts with
an adverse decision by the trial court.
That was one of the keenest disap-
pointments of all, as Denison is an
intimate friend of the Fergusons and
they consider his ability to be of the
highest.
Still another recommendation that
failed of approbation was the reor-
ganization of the fish, game and oys-
ter depax-tment and to give the gov-
ernor control of it. It has been aban-
doned after being killed.
There has been a suggestion that
the governor xnight like to obtain
large influence in the board of control
but that is made impossible for the
same reasons as prevail in the high-
way commission organization, a ma-
jority holding over. Her first ap-
pointment to the board will be Jan. 1.
CARL CLOUD IN CAR
WRECK NEAR EDEN
BAND RETURNED SUN-
DAY FROM ABILENE
Carl Cloud tuxmed his car over last
week near Eden and his right should-
er was dislocated and he was taken
to a Bi’ady hospital where he spent
the night and was then able to return
home. He was attempting to make
a curve in the road when the car
turned over several times and he
was pinned underneath for a time.
Truck drivers came along and releas-
ed him. The car was badly wrecked.

SUNDAY AT COPPERAS COVE
S. E. Turner, a citizen of this coun-
ty for many years, died suddenly
Sunday afternoon at the home of his
son at Copperas Cove where he was

to rest in the cemetery of that place.
Mr. Turner was born September

Leader’s Job Printing Best—Try It]
8: “There is, therefore, now no con-
demnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the spirit, for the
law of the spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me fr$e from the
law of sin and death.”
The lesson-sermon also included
from the Christian Science textbook,
“Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,” one of which was as fol-
lows: (p. 634): “Paul says in his
epistle to the Romans: The carnal
mind is enmity against God, for it is
not subject to the law of God, neith-
er indeed can be. So then they that
are in the flesh cannot please God,
but ye are not in the flesh but in the
spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God
dwell in you.”—Reporter.
A wedding of much interest to their
many friends occurred Satux-day, May
6, at twilight when Miss Flox-ence
Hax-per became the bx-ide of Dock
Hoover. The wedding took place at
the country home of the bride’s pax’-
ents near Kempnex-, wi(h only close
relatives present.
Immediately preceding the cere-
mony Miss Maggie Irvine, aunt of
the bride, offered as a very fitting
and beautiful piano solo, “Love’s Old
Sweet Song,” by Malloy. As these
strains softly faded into Lohengrin’s
wedding march the bride and groom
entered unattended and proceeded to
a beautifully improvised altar of
spring flowers and ferns, and softly
lighted by candles. Here the impres-
sive ring ceremony was read by Rev.
J. Virgil Davis, pastor of the First
Methodist Church of Lampasas. Miss
Ix-vine played Mendelssohn’s “Spring
Song,” throughout the cex*emony. The
bride was becomingly gowned in a
simple creation of white silk net over
white satin, designed on long lines
with short puff sleeves. She carried
a lovely arm bouquet of calla lilies
and white rose buds.
Mr. and Mx-s. Hoover left imme-
diately on a short wedding trip and
upon their return will make their
home in Lampasas until their new
home at Rumley is completed. The
bride tx-aveled in a tailored dress of
navy triple sheer cx-epe with white
accessories.
Mrs. Hoover is the only daughter
of Mx\ and Mrs. M. R. Harper of
Kempner. She is widely known in
this county and numbers her friends
by the scores. For the past five
years she has been a very poular
teacher in the Lampasas public
schools.
Mr. Hoover is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. D. Hoover of Rumley, where
he is engaged in business. He is also
widely known and well liked over this
section of the country.
The hosts of friends of this popu-
lar young couple wish for them ev-
ery measure of success and happi-
ness.—Contributed.
The Lampasas high school band re-
turned Sunday from Abilene where
they took part in the contest held
there on Friday and Saturday. Our
band was entex-ed in the class less
than a year old and many of the mem-
bers have only been playing for a
shox*t time. The contest was won by
the Abilene band. The Lampasas
band made a good showing and they
all had a delightful time and will be
ready for another trip when it pre-
sents itself. Director Ronald has
made wonderful progress with the
band and they are really playing good
and next year they will have even a
better band. A number of the par-
ents of the boys and girls made the
tx-ip to Abilene.

timated to number 50. They were
taken, according to their stories, to
a point near Edcouch, north of Wes-
laco, where they wex*e beaten with
leather straps and warned to leave

recovered in a Corpus Christi hos-
pital and returned to the valley to
tell their story to the grand jui'y.

investigation.
Judge Ferguson's charge to the
gx’axxd jury ordered a probe into the
causes provoking the flogging, as well
as the act itself. The jury will re-
convene Moxxday.

“MAN AGAINST WOMAN”
LEGISLATIVE SPREE
CHARGED BY NORRIS
AUSTIN, May 6.—A statement
that “20 legislators had participated
in a wild party in Austin and that
police had been called out to qixiet
them” was made before the senate
jurisprudence committee here Friday
night by Rev. J. Frank Norris of Fort
Worth. It was part of his discus-
sion befox’e the committee of the so-
called beer lobby.
After his charge about the legisla-
tors had been made, he was asked by
Represetative Willingham of Mexia
to name them. He x’eplied that it was
the duty of the legislatux*e to investi-
gate the charge and find out the guil-
ty legislators.
In asking Norris to name the guilty
legislators, Willingham, who attended
the meeting as a hearer, explained
that he was a member of the legisla-
ture and believed in justice to the in-
nocent members that the pastor
should name the guilty.
In his speech before the committee,'
Norris reviewed the activities of beer
lobbies in previous political cam-
paigns in Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Matthews visit-
ed Sunday in Taylor at the home of
