JUDGE Q. W. scHRIER.
One Of the Oldest Native Texans
Passed Peacefully Away.

The Madison Meteor chronicles
the death of Judge George w. Schrier.
at jacksonville on Sunday, Dec Is.
He was buried with Masonic honors,
the obsequies being attended by a
large concourse of relatives and
friends including many of his Masonic
brethren. The Meteor sketches his life
and public services thus:
Judge Schrier was born in Sa-
bine county, Texas, July 6, 1925.
moving with his parents to Jasper
county four or five years later.
and remaining there until lS45.
when he came to Madison county
making this his home ever since.
He was married in lSiS to Miss
Lillian Elizabeth Manning and in
the same year he was made
Master Mason in Forrest Lodge.
No. 10 at Huntsville, In 1852
he was appointed road overseer.
and four years later was elected
commissioner of precinct No. |.
Afterwards he was elected county
Judge, serving with honor and dis
tinction. and in 1876 he was elect
ed TO the legislature from the dis
trict composed of Grimes and
Madison counties. Here his con
servatism and marked ability
easily distinguished him as n safe
and patriotic legislator For many
years he served as county treas
urer and the public's funds We're
never In safer or more capable
hands.

TIME IN TURKEY.
The Hours Are Always Changing and
Holidays Are Numerous.

In addition TO laZiness in Turkey
there is inaccuracy, The Turkish Of
fetal is naturally Inaccurate, and habit
and conceit make him more SO. This
perhaps is due to the way in which
Turkey measures time. Twelve o'clock
In the day corresponds with sunset
that is to say, whatever hour the sun
sets, il must always be II. Conse-
qucntly the. hours change always, get
ting later the first half of the year and
earlier in the last, which compels ey-
erybody to put his watch TO daily tor
ture. So no one in Turkey can liter
himself that lie has the exact time.
The most strict OF Engllshmen soon
loses his national punctuality, so when
two Turks make an appointment 1t is
within the limit of half an hour or an
hour, ANA even then they don't gen
orally arrive till after the time agreed
on. each one calculating on the utmost
possible delay on the part OF the other.
Consequently the state employees are
not bound down by very severe dis
cipline. No one expects them to arrive
AT their Office at any particular time,
| especially az the majority of them so
hardly AT all As for the most indus
trious, they appear for two or three
hours in the afternoon only, and rather
late. In the morning state offices are
usually closed. Besides this workdays
are rather scarce for the race Of Off
cials. Friday Is the Sabbath Of the
Moha mmedans. Saturday is the day
after feast day. and one does not do
much then. Sunday the Greeks and
Armenians remain, like good Chris
tlans, at home, and the Mohammedans
generally initiate so good an example
Monday is again the morrow Of feast
day. Wednesday there is n meeting OF
the council of ministers, and few en-
ployees go then TO the ministry. With
religious festivals added In, 1t Is easy to
understand that out of the 365 days Of
the year there are not many left to con-
sccrate TO the interests Of the Otto
man empire. Nicholas C. Adossides in

awaited themselves of the opportu-
nifty to indulge in the mild sport.
However, the day was an ideal one
for the links, and the crowd that
sung its way around the pretty
course was one of the largest that

noon defeated the crack Aala A. C..

10 to 6. The game was hardly up to
the standard of those usually played
on this diamond, yet it was interest

Violets started off with jump, land
ing two scores in the initial inning
and annexing four more in the sec
ond. The seventh canto, however,
seemed to S Jonah for the Aala
team, for their rivals slammed the
ball for a total of six more runs
making their counts add up to 10 all
told.
