DEATH AT WHITNEY.
Col. Reuben NJ. Bonner. an Old EX-
Wacoite.

Died AT his home in Whitney,
Texas, Col. Reuben NJ. Bonner, at II
O'Clock Sunday morning, of la grippe
He was born November 5, 1910, and
died March 10, 1893.
Many friends in this city will lament
the death of this venerable gentleman.
He was a resident OF Waco for a
number of years being we'll known in
the early commercial circles of Waco,
and a prominent member Of one Of the
first wholesale houses established in
this city. He removed to Whitney,
Texas. in 1879, where he has been
actively engaged in business until his
death, retaining to most remark able
degree the great energy of mind and
body which characterized his stronger
years.
Possessed Of great wit and a most
pleasing personality, he drew about
him numerous friends of all ages.
Wherever he was known he was hon
ored and respected for the noble attri-
butes OF his unselish heart his life
was rich with love and charity, and
many grateful hearts breathe bis name
with a bcnediction of love.
He lived to see the fourth genera.
ton growing up around him, and to
them he leaves the example Of we'll
spent life and the noble heritage of an
unblemished name.

feature from the beginning.
The programme consists of opening ex-

light refreshments, after which the time
is spent in any way that pleases the
"boys."

at the head, and the committee
promises that those who attend will not

that it is to be operated as the English
House of Commons, yet it is not the de-
sign of the organizers that such shall be
the case. Some of the best features will
be adopted and the working of the House
will be upon parliamentary law, and rules
to that end will be adopted for its govern
ment. AT the last meeting ten new mem

THE MERCHANTS BANK.
The New Building Presents an Ele-
CANT Appearance Since It's Compile

The New Building Presents an Ele-
giant Appearance Since It's Compile
ton.
The appearance of the Merchants
National Bank building, since the i'm
provements and additions have been
made, have attracted widespread atten-
ton, and many have been heard to re-
mark upon the harmonious combination
of the additions with the substructure, in
which it seems to have been found neces-
sary to make very few changes.
The requirements of modern building
so seldom permit the application of the
rigid limits of classical style of archi-
lecture except in monumental structures
where the uses are subsidiary to the
structural lines, that instances where a
classic style has been adhered to in a
secular building are worthy of note.
The old building of the Merchants
National Bank, as it was prior to the i'm
provements made upon it recently, was
built about 1919 and occupied by branch
of the United States Bank. 1t was built
for that purpose and in adapting the Doric
style to that use, even though in sim
plified form, the architect furnished one
of those comparatively rare instances re-
ferred to above.
L AC OIlSln anu pIOGOuN pc VI UliC DOAAS
style is a matter of controversy, but it is
certain that it was established and de-
veloped in Greece about the sixth CEN
fury before Christ, and was one of the
three prevailing styles in old Grecian
architecture up to the time of the Ro-
mans.
1t is characterized by its expressive
simplicity and strength The pediment
and decorative frieze are essential fea-
turac in all olaGcio ayaunr1laa that haUA
been preserved, but their omission in
this design can be justified by the neces-
sity of expressing the purpose of the
building by its exterior appearance; and
that expression would have been lost if
the design had been a more faithful re-
production of a Grecian temple.
The windows and doors of the Grecjan
Doric We're invariably square top, but as
the Roman modification introduced the
use of the arch even into this style, the
round top openings of this building may
be justified and while there are other
features for which less justification can
be found, and many details that are sub
1ect to criticism, yet the general treat
ment and proportion of the whole gave it
a classic feeling that has always been
worthily admired, even by those who
were unable to define its attraction.
In the excellent additions which have
recently been made to this building by
Arthitect Eich berg there has been no at
tempt to continue the Doric. The ancient
examples are invariably one story high,
and in the later examples, especially of
Roman work, the second story is Ionic
or Corinthian. For this reason the ad-
dition was designed in Renaissance,
which, understanding perfectly with
the substructurepermitsa more irregular
roof line and more decorative treatment.
This addition altered the outline and
proportions of the old building, yet so
many of the best features were preserved
and emphasized by their relation to the
new work, that the entire structure must
be regarded as most successful improve
ment,

THE sEABoARD CO.'S ROAD.
A Meeting OF the Stockholders Called
TO Look Into It's Condition.

President Williams, of the Seaboard
Company, has called a meeting of the
stockholders Tuesday, Oct. 81, to con-
slider the condition of the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic railway and to see what shall
be done towards the early completion and
equipment of the road, which is vitality
necessary to make good the present in
vestment.
The directors will make report to the
meeting of the construction of the road so
far as it has progressed. II will also call
the stockholders attention to the condi-
tion of the syndicate loan and its early
maturity, so that the meeting, if it de-
sires, can take such action as it may seem
proper in regard to the loan.
In his letter calling the meeting, Mr..
Williams says: Il urge upon every stock
holder to be personally present at said
meeting, and if it be impossible for him
to be present, then send written proxy
to some other stakeholder to represent
him. No stakeholder will have any right
to complain, after attending this meeting,
that he is not fully possessed of all in
formation in regard to the Seabord Com
pany, the status of the construction of
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic railway,
and the status of the syndicate loan, and
if stockholders do not attend the meeting
it will be their fault if they remain
ignorant upon these subjects

THERE WAS NO QUORUM.

Chairman Dale Calls q Committee
Meeting, But Gets No Response.
There was to have been a meeting of the
Jail and court house committee of the
county commissioners yesterday after
noon, for the purpose of considering some
repairs on these buildings which are
needed, and Chairman Dale had called
the meeting for that purpose.
Commissioners Kehoe and Chaplin,
however, We're otherwise occupied and
did not respond. Chairman Dale says that
it was the first time he has tried to get
committee together and he made failure
of it. He has decided that next time he
wants a committee to meet he will have
the clerk notify them that their salaries
are to be paid upon their appearance in
the committee room.
According TO the resolution recently
adopted, there vas to have been a meet
ing of the commissioners this afternoon.
as it was decided to have them semi
monthly instead of monthly, but there is
so little business before the board to be
transacted at present that no meeting
has been called, and in all probability
there will be none until the time for the
next regular monthly meeting comes
around
