There is a marked division of sentiment
as to the proposed change, some claiming
that it lowers the dignity of the office of
mayor to have the chief executive of the

After the lesson of the Union

short Easter program was well rem
dered by some of the little tots.
The program consisted of songs
and recitations, and was much
enjoyed. At the close of the pro-
gram large number of gaily col
ored Easter eggs were distributed to
the children. The Sunday school
gave a rising vote of thanks for
these eggs to the Twentieth Cen

mrs. LANGSFORD DEAD
Answers final Summons al
Eight O'clock tnis Morning.

Mrs. Laura 4. Langsford, wife of
Mr.. s. p. Langsford, one of the best
known and most beloved women of
the city, is dead.
At five minutes past eight O'Clock
she answered the final summons
| aud went away to be at rest. For a
number of weeks abe had batttled
horoicalIy for the mastery. En-
couraged by her loved ones and her
| friends she did not abandon hope
until very near the end. For more
than year she had been troubled
with an affection of the stomach,
which stubborn1y refused to yield
to treatment. To this disease 10 due
her death. -
The life of Mrs. Langsford Was
busy one. For more han<fhirty
years she had been reEdent of
Waxahachie. During~afl that time
wherever sickness, or death, dis.
tress or destitution was there was
found this good woman rea iy to
minister in Whatever capacity she
could. AT her church her pew was
always filled, IL she was able to 90,
and in every work she was always
found bearing her part of the harden
and esteemiug 1T privilege to do
SO. The writer has known her for
fifteen years, and In that time no
work was ever undertaken in her
church. of which he had knowledge,
In which she was not an active par
ticipant. Her efforts in behalf OF
the orphans will long be an object
lesson TO all those who came In con-
tact with her. Quietly and unob-
trusiveiy she did her work; did 1t in
the name of that Master whom she
loved, the example and influence Of
which will be felt for years To come.
Her family, her church and her
town are all bereaved In her death.
Mrs. Langsford's maiden name
was Laura f.. Shepherd. She was
born al Granville, Tenn, April y,

moved To Texas settling at Calves
ton. Shortly after the lombard
meut Of that city during the civil
war, Mr. Shepherd moved his family
to Waxahachie where they re-
mained until the close of the war.
He then moved To Miilican, at that

The city election today was char

and inactivity. AS there were no CON

and hundreds of voters did not avail
themselves of the opportunity TO
exercise their rights as free Ameri-

votes bad been polled at the three
voting boxes, and from indications
the total vote today will be unusu-

Enlightenment.

A little joke is going the rounds Of
the Supreme Court of this State at the
expense of an out of town law student
who recently wrote to the court the
following letter:
Gentlemen: Will you kindly fur
nish me with a list of the questions
asked for the last two or three years
to applicants for admission to the bar,
and oblige, Yours truly.
The answer to the inquisitive cor
respondent was as follows:
Dear Sir: 1t is impossible for us
to furnish you with the questions you
ask for, but better yet. we can supply
you with the answers thereto, which
you will find in 'Blackstone's Com
mentaries,' two volumes; Kent's
Commentaries four volumes; Par
sons on Contracts: 'Greenleaf on Evil
dence'; 'Lubaye's Equity Pleadings'; /;
'Pomeroys Municipal Law; Gould's
Pleadings, and the codes of the State
OF California.
Hoping this is entirely satisfactory,
we are, Yours sincerely.

Last of the TroubadomS.

At Compostella there has just died
a strange individual, half tramp, half
musician, with certain dash of the
poet about him, who, even in a land
CT Old World survivals like Spain, may
probably be regarded as the very last
of the troubadours. His name was
Adolfo Garcia, and he was native Of
Galicia Equipped with nothing but
an old fiddle and great umbrella that
served against either sun or rain and
did service between. times as an alpen-
stock, he had roamed through every
province of Spain. Arriving in town or
village, he looked out for youthful wo-
manhood and wealth, and then, plac-
ing himself under the windows, played
and sang the old, old theme of love
and chivalry, mostly to airs OF his own
composing. The ditties were not devoid
of a certain refinement and delicacy
and never failed to reach the hearts
or the purses of the gentle maids who
had been selected for the serenade.-
