Death of Mrs. wilkins.

In the death Mrs. Bursheba c..
Wilkins, wife of Mayor Jas. A.
Wilkins, brief mention of which
was made in Thursdays issue,
the members of the bereaved
family, a large circle of friends
and the city at large, have lost a
dear associate, whose memory
will be ever cherished with the
deepest affection and esteem.
Her pure and lofty character, her
gracious manner and her eXem-
plary christian life greatly en-
deared her to all who knew her.
AS a christian Mrs. VIII
kins achieved an excellence
of character rarely attain
ed. Her piety was beautifully
symmetrical and uniformally
consistent. After life's ftful
fever she sleeps well. When the
bright warm rays of the southern
skies shall have blended their
silent sympathies with the gentle
dews of heaven over the 'tongue-
less silence of the dreamless
DUST her memory and example
will abide with those left behind
and her influence will linger to
better and to bless. The sacred
memory of her life is engraven
on the hearts of all who ever felt
the cordial grasp of her friendly
hand, or shared in the sunshine
of her benevolence and SYM
pathy.
Mrs. Wilkins was a native of
Alabama, born July 21st, 1888.
Her parents, Major and Mrs.
Samuel Lusk, removed to Texas
in 1885. Her marriage to Mr..
Jas. A. Wilkins, now mayor of
the City of Brennan, occurred
Nov. IS, 1852, Mr.. Wallace Will
kins, cashier at the Bank of Gid
dings C Giddings, being their
only living child. Her demise
resulted from cancer, and death
came as a welcome relief after
months of suffering.
The funeral will take place
from the family residence at 10
O'Clock this (Friday) morning,
conducted by Rev. G. S. Tumlin.

been selected: NJ. A. Healy, Alex

A Millinery Opening.

The BANNER man met with a
novel and unique experience
Thursday not only novel and uni
que, but also new. An experience
that is new to a newspaper maker
ought to be worth relating and
reading whether its true or false
or new or old to the balance of
mankind. Did you ever notice
that newspaper men are always
of those who have been pupils in
the school which the dear teach
er, Experience, is conducting
full time?
But enough of depression. The
new experience was that of at
tending the millinery opening at
the New York Store. Mr.. Ed.
Buster, one of the proprietors,
kindly loaned the reporter a coat,
and acted as escort to the
"opening" department, located
on the second floor and in
charge of Miss Dollie Lisk. 1t
was a veritable "opening" and
no mistake. Hats of infinite va
riety and style-but all of the la
test style-"opened" every
where. Some of them showed by
the birds on them that the
"open" season was in force. at
the time they were constructed.
They were all very pretty and
certainly very becoming to the
large number of lady callers
who were trying them on. Be-
fore closing this Opening"
mention must be made of some
excellent music with which Mr..
Buster RECALLED his callers, and
also some pretty roses that re-
warded the reporters visit which
were pinned on his vest, as he
had to leave the coat down.

The Thanksgiving Turkey.

There is a very general i'm
preston that hen-turkeys are
better than gobblers, but such is
not the case when the birds are
under year old; until that age
is past the cock, or gobbler, is
more highly and finely favored
than the hen. A small turkey is
never satisfactory; only at
twelve pounds Getty dressed) do
they begin to be fine. In small
towns where they are properly
dressed-drawn, with head and
feet removed-ten pounds would
mean the same. Be sure your
bird is young. Avoid those that
are yellow, fat, with rough legs
and hard spurs. One heavy
for its size, of a blue cast. smooth
legs, soft, only budding spurs.
flexible end to breast bone, and
skin easily pierced between the
finger nails, is the bird you want,
Whatever dressing you use
(oyster or chestnut is best) dc
not have it too moist, and do not
fill the turkey more than two
thirds full, otherwise you will
have a soggy, solid, indigestible
mass as a result. The baking or
roasting must be long and slow
operation after the first brown
ing, and if the patent covered
baking-pan is not used, an or
binary dripping-pan must be used
as a cover. The basting
must be frequent-every fifteen
minutes-and thorough if you
would have the meat juicy. Four
hours is about the proper time
for a fourteen-pound turkey, in
moderate oven. When served
your turkey is right if of dark,
rich brown all over, without a
suggestion of scorch, juicy in
appearance, and though whole,
ready to fall apart at a light
touch of the carver. Before
placing tin the oven rub all over
with good butter and dredge
heavily with flour seasoned with
pepper and salt. The basting
should be melted butter and hot
water.-Ella Morris Kretschmar
in the November Woman's Home
Companion.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Fireman John Timms the Victim of an
Accident at the National
Compress

Mr.. John Timms, fireman at
the National Compress, was the
victim of most painful accident
Thursday morning, which may
result in his left eye being per-
manently disabled and possibly
totally destroyed. His injuries
resulted from an explosion of the
water guage. A portion of the
flying glass struck him in the
lower portion of the left eye,
making an unsightly wound, and
seriously injuring the eye, but to
what extent is not yet known.
He was placed under the treat
ment of DR.. E. L. Day. After
an examination of the wound the
doctor expressed the fear that a
portion of the glass had lodged
in the eye, in which case an OPP
Grafton and possibly the removal
of the eye would be necessary.

Of course all this was contrary
to law, the enforcement of which
was left to the semi annual ses-

sitting of which body those per-
sons known as the "house men"
were indicted in one case and
let off with the minimum fine and
cost. The players were never

potent factor in reminding Off

with a spirit of reform which au-
gers much good from a moral

lasts.
All known members of the

violated open and above board
there is a healthy moral senti'

This Happened in Brennan.

the innermost depth of the
others heart my story could re-
main untold.
| Welded less than a year this
was the first cloud to mar the
sunlight of their existence. He
was hot and impetuous, she coolly
sarcastic. AS he saw the cold
smile that curled her Zip, he little
knew the cruel pain she strove
to crush and hide as only wo-
man can.
Had he known the resolution
she had formed as she stood pale,
smiling and listened to his cruel
words-had he known how she
loved him and how she suffered
as she listened to the first angry
word he had ever spoken to her,
he would have died rather than
give them utterance. But he
knew it not and with smothered
exclamation he seized his had and
rushed from the room perhaps to
drown his cares in the flowing
bowl.
|
The young wife turned as he
left the room and threw herself
on the lounge, her hand pressed
to her throbbing brow. For a
long time she lay there notion
less, except for the heaving of
the bosom which covered the
heart of a true and loving wife.
81 can endure this agony no
longer, at last she murmured,
81 will end it once for all"
She arose, went to her hus-
bands dresser and took there
from his razor. AS she looked
at the glittering blade, a shudder
ran through her girlish form.
"Can I do it?" she murmured.
Scan 1 deliberately send this
sharp steel gliding through my
own flesh?" "And the blood"
she asked herself in silent hor-
ror, evil there be much blood?"
But anything, anything is better
than this cruel, cruel pain and
do it I will"
Outside the threatening storm
had burst and the rain dashed
fiercely against the windows. AS
she entered the hall leading to
their room where the deed was to
be done, the wind roared furious
Ily outside, and even at that
hour, with a wife's fond devo-
ton she thought of her husband
probably exposed to the pitiless
storm, and wished that he had
remained at home.
| She reached her room, bolted
the door and cast a look around
at the many little mementos OF
her short, and happy married
life. With a little shudder she
laid the razor on the mantel,
hardly daring to glance at the
keen, sharp blade.
81 will undress and say my
prayers first she murmered,
with a child-like smile.
Then slowly she removed her
garments and in her snowy
white night-robe knelt by the
bedside and after repeating the
little prayer she had learned al
her mothers knee, she asked
that blessings might rest on the
head of the husband, who only a
short hour before had left her
with anger and rage burning in
his bosom.
All! could he have heard the
petition sent upto the great white
throne by that little white-robed
figure, who even in this hour of
acutest pain in loving accents
spoke his name, how quickly
would passion and rage have fled
from his bosom and love and
trust returned.
But he knew it not, and there
alone with the storm raging out
side she had nerved herself to do
a deed at which her timid.
womanly soul recoiled.
