provided for an annual medal in memory
of the late Hunter L. Harris, an instructor
of the University, who lost his life by

announcement that the knitting

A carpenter cannot do good work
without good tools. So it is in other
lines of effort. Two of the best writing

the typewriter and W. w. Parker can
satisfy your wishes about the pen.

it will bear constant repeating, and
that is the friends and readers of the

will make the paper more readable

Death of an Aged Lady.

Mrs Mary H. Jordan died at the home
Of her brother, Mr.. W. W. Reavis, in this
place about 5 o'clock Saturday after
noon. She had been in feeble health a
long time and for months past had al
most entirely lost the sense of hearing
and speech. Mrs. Jordan was perhaps
the oldest white woman in Henderson
at the time of fer death. She was 81
years old last December Two brothers
and one sister survive her These are
Mr. W. W. Reavis and Miss Saliie Reavis,
of Henderson, and Mr.. Thomas H.
Reavis, of Burnett county, Texas. She
also leaves one son, Mr.. Alex Jordan,
and a numerous family connection here
and elsewhere to mourn her departure.
Mrs. Jordan was a truly good woman
in all the relations Of life and during her
earlier and more active years she was,
like her sanity daughter the late Mrs.
Maggie Barnard, BLESSINGS upon her
memory who followed in her good
works, veritable Good Samaritan in
the community, going into the homes of
rich and poor, carrying "healing in her
wings"
She was devout, consecrated Christ
ian having connected herself with the
Methodist Episcopal church great
many years ago. And until her enfeebled
condition prevented no keener pleasure
came to her than attendance upon the
services of the sanctuary.
The funeral was held from the MethO
dist Episcopal church at 4 O'Clock Sun
day afternoon, Rev. ]. D. Bundy con-
Quoting the service. In beautiful Elm
wood cemetery this aged servant OF God
who had been weary and waiting so
long for the Masters summons was laid
to rest from her labOrs.

PIANO RECITAL.
Pupils Of Hiss Emma Averett's Music
Class Demonstrate Their Skill aud
Proficiency on the Pianoforte.

Brief mention was made last week
of the pianoforte recital given by Miss
Emma Averett's music pupils at
Cooper Opera House Wednesday
night The attendance was small,
the performance meriting a better
patronage. But despite the lack of
numbers to show proper apprecia-
ton of their work, the young ladies
and gentlemen acquitted themselves
we'll and showed skill and proficiency
becoming musicians of older years
and ripper experience.
To rare gifts and powers as a mu-
sician Miss Averett adds the still
rarer faculty of being a most accom-
plished and successful teacher of
music, and her pupils gave abundant
evidence of thepainstaking and thor
Ough instruction received. The en-
tertainment throughout was credit
able alike to pupil and teacher, some
numbers on the program being
worthy of special mention. But COM
