In Memory of Mrs. ii. II. Dunn.


On Saturday. August 1, 1908,
Mrs. H. H. Dunn breathed her last.
A life that was pure and Holy
And guarded by Heaven above,
Around it the Angels lowered
Bearing message of love.
The message to dear Maumud
Borne by an Angels hand,
Was to leave this world of suffering,
For purer, better land
The long procession which follow
ed her remains showed the love and
esteem held in the hearts of all who
knew her. We may heap her grave
with flowers, yet there are not
enough to match the countless
CLEANS of sunshine which she has
instilled into the hearts Of others.
All who knew her will remember
her beautiful christian character
her devotion and loyalty to every.
thing good and her sweet spirit OF
advice She could always give good
advice ard dispei the gloom of her
friends, always turning the bright
side Of the mirror of hope.
And while our hearts do sadly
mourn
For the friend that we have lost
We would not call her back again
Into this sorrowing world at any
cost w.

FREAK CROPS IN PENNSYLVANIA

Philadelphia. Aug. Crop re-
ports from over the state indicate
that Pennsylvania farmers will &C
complish some remarkable feats dur

coming in by the dozen regarding

many instances the plant wizard

From Wilkes-Barre comes the ver-

who has perfected a succotash plant
by crossing sugar corn with beans.
The result plant is said to afford a
remarkably fine quality of succo-

Another Burbank, residing in Ris-

the soda bush and the rye plant,
crossed them in scientific manner,
and produced a cross between tree
and a bush on which grows the fin

were made to have Sell arrested for

LIBRARY NOTES.

The atmosphere of July was par
ticularly torrid, unsettled, and dis
turbed. of course-couldn't have
been otherwise with the numerous
elections, political conventions, and
other idiosyncrasies going on, but
the monthly report of the library
proceeded calmly on the even tenor
of its way and makes pretty fair
showing, nevertheless. There were
six hundred and eight books circu-
lated during the month, several de
hundred people fled the vain pomp
and glory of the world and availed
themselves of the delights of the
reading room. If there is cool
place in Waxahachie these days
(and everybody knows there isn't

rooms of the Sims Library. If you'd
come here oftener, and stay here
longer, the world, the flesh, and the

power to turn your head, dwarf

fear to cool off too suddenly, and
prefer to simmer down gradually to
