SHERMAN, TEX, oct. - The remains
of Mrs Molic j. Landlord, wife of our
esteemed friend and felow-townsman
W. II. Landlord, were buried last even
ing from the residence OF G. w Brown. on
West Mulberry street, where deceased had
been boarding for several months. Rev.
D. G. Carpenter conducted the funeral
services at the house, and after the long
procession reached the cemetery dcliy-
cred q most appropriate and touching
farewell at the open grave, No death IN
this community has ever cast q more uni
ycrsal gloom over the hearts Of our peo-
pie The deceased was a lady Of many
exalted virtues and her kindness 80 those
In distress was leading trait In her char
actor. No one ever met with Cisap-
pOintmcut or misfortune who did not
receive words Of comfort from her lips
and no empty hand was ever extended by
the needy that did not receive sub~tau-
tbI comfort from her purse. She was Il
consistent member Of the Old School
Presbyterian church, and in her sphere
"a a member was always active in every
GOOD work This writer had the honor to
call her friend and we wish TO Join our

Rev. Dixon Williams Of Tennessee, the
noted evangelist, is on the bills for series
Wednesday, October rs A committee OF
churchmcn have been appointed
to select location on which
90 erect gospel tent that will hold 2O0o
persons, but they have not vet decided
between the vacant lot ON the west side
of North Travis street, opposite the Mcr-
chants 4 Planters bank, and the lot made
vacant on South Travis by the burning of
the Methodist church. The first named
is little more central but not more ac-
ccSSible, as both are ON the StrCet-car
line, while it has the objection of the
noisy traffic over the stone pavement in
front Nearly all the orthodox churches
arc in sympathy with the meeting, and as
the services of Brother Williams are
broadly Catholic and liberal in purpose,
they can work together for good
to all them that love the
Lord Much good is anticipated
from the combined labors and united
prayers of our Christian community, and
it is to be hoped that many souls now
held fast in the bonds of inlquity and
drinking daily of the gall OF bitterness
may be rescued thcrcfrom and find that
peace which passeth all understanding.
