Whereas, our Heavenly Father
has deemed IL wise to take from our
class our sweet pupil and COM
panion, Miss Fannie Lee Ross to
transplant her in ''helds Elysian."
Therefore be 1t
Resolved (lst), That Class No. 0
of the Baptist Sunday school has
sustained an irreparable loss; and
Resolved end, That she has left
us a heritage that no enemy can
take from us-the pure, elevating
influence of her life; and,
Resolved t3rd), That We ever
cherish her in memory and emulate
her virtues and endeavor to draw
those she loved and longed for into
the sweet presence where she rested
so so securely.
God gave to His dear child sweet
sleep,
And Sorrows shades are drawn;
Our loss Is her eternal gain,
For her sweet soul basks In an
endless dawn.

furnished the press of Texas for
publication:
Zapata, Tex. July 23.-To the
generous people of the state OF
Texas: | have the honor To adj
dress every person who has had
desire to come tothe financial rescue
of hundreds Of people in Iapata
county who are totally and abso-
lutely destitute of the necessaries
of life.
/ am a mounted inspector OF Gus
toms, temporarily appointed On duty
in Zapata county, entirely without
bias or prejudice, and with no in
tention OF remaining here after
August, and consequently am only
interested In the welfare Of the peo-
pie here simply through motives
of charity and compassion for the
deplorable condition of things. /
have just returned from a scout
through the county and can in all
sincerity assure the public that
the sights | have seen are
pitiable In the extreme. There Is
absolutely no vegetation Of any
Kind and water is even less
procurable than forage, All
the country back from the river is
dry Water holes, natural and arti-
fetal, are dry and the wells are fast
refusing to supply the water needed
to abe extent that In some places
there is not enough for the people
to drink.
Never have | Witnessed sach mis-
cry, such pitiable distress. In the
name of God and Of humanity, /
join my prayer with the officials oi
this county and earnestly implore
that these people be- speedily and
plentifully succored. A. II Camp,
