the exception of Miss Jessie, leaves
this week seeking new location
and home. Mr.. St. Clair left with
the intention of locating somewhere
in either Kerr or Uvalde counties,
where he expects to engage in the
raising of mules. This family is
one of the old land marks of the
town, having been here for IS or Id
years. They have made many
lifelong friends during their long
stay here, who regret exceedingly
to see them leave. Mr.. St. Clair
has endeared himself in the hearts
of our people as Superintendent of
the Baptist Sunday School, and the
memory of his practical instruction
will live in the lives of our young,
long after he has thrown aside this
vail of flesh. May they love the
people of their new location, where
ever it may be, and may they in
return love them, is the wish of
their many friends here. Miss Jes-
sic will remain here and continue
her studies in school and music,
