DEATH OF A PIONEER


Another OF our pioneers has de-
parted As the first day OF this
month ended. Just as quietly and
peacefully the life of J. II Moffett
went with it, Mr. Moffett was born
In South Carolina, in 1894. but his
parents, the next year, moved to
Indiana. where he was reared, re-
ceiying only such education as could
be obtained In the primitive schools
OF that day. and country When
about 20 years Of age he came TO
Texas, and to Ellis county. and pur-
chased part of the land now be-
longing to his estate In 1859 he
married Miss Mary f. Lancaster,
which union was dissolved by her
death only last year. True to the
cause of his adopted section, as he
was always true to every call of duty,
Mr.. Moffett enlisted in the Confed-
crate service in 1862, and served to
the end of the Civil War, when he re
sumed his modest, but purposeful
place in civil life. 1t was his fortune
TO come TO Ellis county but few
years after its organization and he
saw, and contributed to, its growth
from those pioneer days to the pres
ent fullness of its wealth and pros
perlty. While never seeking place
or prominence, he met every duty of
citizen as 1t arose, and by precept
and example was an inspiration to
those with whom he came In contact
Strong and manly in character in
corruptibly upright and honest in all
things, no one could know him with
out benefitting by his acquaintance.
He was that "noblest work of God, F."
an honest man, and while through
his industry and business capacity he
leaves to his descendants a good
share of worldly wealth, their richest
heritage is that they are the descend
ants of such man
About two years ago he was strick-

en- with paralysis. since which time
he has been an almost helpless in
valid With a perfect realization OF
the fact that his end WAS not far off,
not for a moment did he faiter, or
shrink from the inevitable. and on
the contrary during the months of
his helplessness he was perhaps the
most cheerful member Of his, ,house-
hold With a hero's courage and a
martyrs fortitude. he met the DAYS as
they came and went and sustained
and soothed those about him by his
own cheerfulness. and exhibitions OF
the pleasant quiet humor for which
he was noted He was an exhibition
Of the truth that he who breads to
die should fear to live, and he fac
ed the end with a quieting assurance
of duty performed, and without dread
OF what the unknown beyond may
hold He leaves surviving him a
son. Mr. Frank H. Moffett, of Harde-
man county daughter, Mrs. c. w
Simpson, of this city. and a grand
daughter. Lura. daughter of de
ceased son, Geo. s Moffett. TO whom
as we'll as to his devoted niece, Miss
Purl Moffett. who ministered to him
so tenderly during the days of his
physical affliction. our sympathies go
out in their bereavement.
The funeral service was held this
morning at 10 o'clock at the home
of Dr. c. w. Simpson on Ferris ave-

THE VINE ANIL THE OAK.
A Legend of the Passion Flower.
(By Dolores Watts.)

There has fallen splendid tear,
From the passion flower at the gate"
Once upon time, many years ago,
there lived maiden who became
tired and longed for rest. She beheld
tumn, the leaves and flowers were
mysteriously disappearing, and with a
sigh of WEAKNESS, the maiden fell
asleep and dreamed.
She dreamed she was a vine grow
ing among other vines in the heart of
a dim forest. But she was so frail
she could not grow rapidly with her
brothers and sisters, and therefore
became alienated from her family and
crept humbly upon the ground. For
some time she fingered near the par
ent vines as though 10th to be separ-
ated from those to whom she was re-
lated, but they were all so busy grow
ing that they had no time to encour-
age the little vine whom they looked
upon as a dwarf. The little vine was
unlike any of her relatives. Her
leaves were different in contour from
that of the other vines, and there was
a slight glitter to them which the 9th
ers had not.
The larger vines climbed sturdily
over broken tree limbs and looked
with contempt upon their light green
sister, who was not so robust, but was
content to creep upon the ground, lis
tening to the chirp of the crickets, the
lull of the waters Of the brook ana
studying the delicate tints OF the sky,
CT which she occasionally caught a
glimpse through the overhangine
branches of the trees above her. And
the vine grew, but was unable to

slyly creeping toward the black sand
it was now only one inch away. In
the midst of life we are in death, the
good book says: Death comes like q
thief in the night" The pale horse
and its rider, the great terror that
turks about our homes at midnight and
stalks through the earth at MONDAY,
is no respector of persons. He gathers
in all kinds and conditions, the young,
the beautiful and the innocent as well
as the old, the crippled, and the in
firm. The young mother in the kitchen
had just finished preparing a banquet
fer the young innocents in the garnet.
Just as she came to the stair door to
call the children, the slow sickening
Smoot investigation flame that was
started by Rev. Paden and Rev. John
l.. Leilich reached the black sand
and went out. 1t was learned after
wards that Mr.. Forrest hid the keg of
rowder in the barn.
The above is a sample of the stories
that emissaries of the Salt Lake Trib-
une and the Salt Lake Ministerial as
ISOLATION are telling the people of the
east to injure Utah. They tell that
the Mormon candle is slowly burning
down to the explosion point, and it
will soon reach it, and when the explo-
sion occurs, it will be found that the
Mormons, through the balance of po-
litical power will have possession of
the United States, and the only thing
that can snuff out this candle before
it reaches the black sand is Thos.
Kearns and his American party
and the Salt Lake Ministerial asso-
citation. For complete detail and a
vivid description of their story call
on Frank j. Cannon or the Rev. Rob-
ert M. Stevenson, ID. D., of Salt Lake
City. Yours truly,
V. S. PEET.
