A debate was held lasting four
days instead of six, as Mr. Key
could not stay longer on account
of other appointments. It was
conducted in a friendly and in-
structive way, no arguing on
either side by the people at anv
time. The Baptist preachers
present were Mr. Casen of'Bojoe,
Rockwall county, who moderated
for Mr. Key; Mr. Anderson, Mr.
Roberson and Mr. Vardieman.
Preaching brethren of the Church
of Christ were J. S. Hall of Gear,
who was moderator for Bro.
Cowan, Bro. Melton of Jones-
boro, and William Cantrell.
Dinner on the grounds every day
and all present seemed to have a
good time.
The fine rains of Wednesday
and Saturday has put a good
season in the ground and tne
small grain is looking fine. A
larger acreage has been sown
* this year than last.

Gatesville Wednesday and stood

day at eleven o’clock on|his trav-

The best rain that has fallen in
this section since April fell this
past week; it ended with a steady
downpour Saturday afternoon,
which will be of great benefit to
oats. Small grain had begun to
languish from continued cold and
lack of moisture, but since the
rain is wonderfully revived.
The farmers are behind with
their, work in this section as cot-
ton was so late in being gathered.
The gin still operates on certain
days.

R. E. Noble left Wednesday
for San Antonio to join his fami-
ly who have been there several
months. Mr. Noble is one of the
old land marks, having lived here
over thirty years; during the
greater part of this time he has
been in the mercantile business,
and is well and favorably known
by nearly every one in the coun-
ty who has lived here any length
of time. Uncle Bob has many
friends here who regret to see
him leave, and their best wishes
follow him.
Calamity Demonstrates Character.
In all great calamites, such as
war, famine, fire, epidemics,
wrecks, mine explosions, or
floods, or in individual losses,
sickness or death, the best part
of mankind is made manifest.
There need be no argument to
prove this assertion to those who
have witnessed the conduct of
people under conditions above
enumerated. Nearly everyone
has had an opportunity to wit-
ness acts of kindness and self-
sacrifice in times of sickness and
want, though comparatively few ,
have passed through times of
great calamity, such as that pro-
j duced by earthquake, war or!
| pestilence. Those whi>have had j
I this experience, however, rarely |
| doubt kindness of heart of others j
■ unless they are too depraved to j
I be able to detect nobility inoth-
I ers. There are few among the
j participants in the great war
| between the states, especially
among the soldiers who were on
the firing lines, but who are will-
ing to give credit to others for
doing great deeds of self-sacri-
fice, and possessing truemobility
of soul.
These remarks have been elic-
ited by reading accounts of the
recent mine disaster at Brice-
ville, Tenn. With what unselfish
devotion have the miners who
escaped this calamity applied
themselves to the labor of rescue;
the work has gone forward night
and day, with no thought of com-
pensation except the conscious-
ness of duty done for the relief
of their suffering fellow-creat-
ures and the comfort of the be-
reaved. No great disaster is en-
tirely without good results,
though .we often fail to give
or dk for these manifestations £if
the spirit of self-sacrifice.
I have moved my livery and
veterinary business to the Gracy
stables, where I will be pleased
to have calls for work in either
line. J. C. Earnest. d-tf
Condition in China.
The first uncensored report
from Sian Fu received at |Pekin
since the recent outbreak there
states that 8,000 Manchus were
slain by the Chinese and there
was much looting done. It is re-
ported that four Americansjwere
killed. Letters from missionaries
at Sian Fu state that foreigners
there are apparently safe now,
but that the lawless elementfis in
the majority. It is hoped there
may be some plan adopted during
the armistice, by which peace
may be brought about.
