IN MEMORY OF DIR. GRAVES.
Sunday School Held Impressive Me
mortal Exercises.

Sunday SChOOl HeIu impressive Me-
mortal Exercises.
After the regular session of the
Graves Sabbath school Sunday a
memorial service was held for the
purpose of paying tribute to the mem
Ory of the late DR.. |. d. Graves. The
following resolutions were adopted:
| Whereas, on February %. 1906, God
| in His infinite wisdom took from us
our CO. worker and most loyal friend,
DR.. Iverson DuttOn Graves;
Whereas, DR.. Graves was a charter
member of the Graves Sunday school,
and for thirty years or more had been
a very important factor OF 1t, and his
untiring efforts, far-reaching love and
remarkable personality having made
it what it is, therefore be it resolved:
|. That we feel that in his death we
have suffered an irreparable loss.
He was unObtrusive, always gentle
and kind, and always presented an in
born, unpretentiOus courtesy which
marked him under all circumstances
a natural gentleman. He moved
blamelessly through life, his path be-
hind him radiant with the flower of
his charities. He lived q nOiseless
lie, and without complaint passed on.
1.-The law of truth was in his mouth,
and iniquity was not found in his
lips"
2. That we greatly mourn the loss
of our beloved friend and associate.
The world is better that he lived, and
wherever his friends are the air is fill
ed with lamenting that he died.
3. That we extend to his bereaved
family our deepest and most heartfelt
sympathy, and commend them to Him
who said: II will not leave thee com
fortress. -
4. That these resolutions be put
upon our Sunday school record, a copy
be presented to the family OF our de-
ceased friend, and copies be furnished

STATE COMMITTEE WILL MEET
Chairman YeOmans Will Leave for
Atlanta Saturday.

Chairman Yeomans Will Leave for
Atlanta Saturday.
Chairman NJ. J. Yeomans will leave
for Atlanta Saturday for the purpose
of attending a meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Commute, which
will assemble on Monday, April Both.
This meeting of the committee will
be an important one, as it will fix the
date of the gubernatorial primary,
and prescribe the rules and regula-
tions under which voters may partici-
pate in it.
There is much speculation as to
when the primary will be held this
wear. Chairman YeOmans SAYS he
has had no expressions from any OF
the committeeman on this subject, and
declines to venture even an opinion
himself. He says, in fact, that he has
none.
The last state convention adopted a
resolution recommending that future
primaries be held not earlier than
July 10th, and it is practically GER
tain that this recommendation will be
respected. The primary of 1902 was
held in May, and that of 1904 IN
April.
There is one thing on which nearly
all are agreed, however, and that is
that there will be no early primary
this year.

CROPS BADLY DAMAGED
The Loss Sustained BY Heavy Rain Yes
ferday Is lacalealahIe.

The heaviest rain Of The season
visited Waxahachie and vicinity yes
terday afternoon. The day had been
hot and sultry and about four o'clock
in the afternoon ominous clouds be-
gan forming In the north They
drifted rapidly toward the northwest
and southeast, aud soon after the
clouds began assembling the rain
commenced descending In torrents
The downpour continued terrific for
nearly enc hour, and during the ar
ternoon and evening the precipitation
IN WaXahachie amounted to nearly
three inches There was not much
wind. but considerable hail accom-
panied the rain, Farmers in town
today report incalculable damage TO
crops Wheat and oats which had
not been cut and shocked were laid
flat in the fields. The corn blades
were cut into strings and cotton suf-
fered severely The cotton plant
was young and tender and in many
places it was beat into the ground
by the rain. The full extent of the
damage to cotton cannot be deter
mined until the sun shines a few
hours. It is believed, however, that
a great deal will have to be replant-
ed between WaXahachie and South
Prong.
The rain appears to have been
heaviest in the northern and eastern
part of the county. In the Ferris
country the rainfall assumed almost
cloudburst proportions The play of
lightning was terrific, but so far
no damage has been reported from
that source. All creeks were over
flowed and many small bridges were
carried away, 1t is said that the loss
to the county will be quite heavy
A section of the Houston and Tex
as Central track was washed out be-
tween Ferris and Trumbull. The
passenger trains last night and this
morning were detoured via Waxa-
hachie and Lancaster.
Sheriff Minnick this morning had
long distance telephone conversa-
tion with Riley Heffler of Bristol.
Mr. Heffler stated that the rain in
that community was terrific, and
that the streams were higher than
they had been for several years. He
estimated that the crops in that part
of the county had been damaged fully
forty per cent.
