In presenting DR.. Dunaway the pas
tor, Rev. Mr.. Williams, took occasion
to speak of the cordial relations that
existed between himself and the doc
tor. He said that the Baptist church
would perhaps never be able to ade-
quately appreciate the magnificent
service that DR.. Dunaway had render
ed them by his long and self-sacrificing
ministry; that the church was in reali-
ty the doctors best monument. He
said that he was very much pleased at
the great crowd and classed it as the
tribute which they wanted to pay to
one whom Mr.. Williams declared to be
"the FIRST citizen of Fredericksburg
as we'll as the honored ex-pastor Of the
Baptist church.
The doctor spoke with much freedom
and delivered a profound sermon on
Gods Plan of Salvation. The sermon
was listened to with deepest interest
and at it's close the people crowded
around the doctor TO congratulate him,
TO assure him of their affection and
love and to wish for him many more
years of life, usefulness and happiness.
BY rising vote in response TO a mo-
ton made by Mr.. B. p. Willis the SER
mon was asked for by the congrega-
ton to be recorded in the minutes OF

While the Baptist church is thoroughly

ALL IN WHITE BEDROOM.
The Latest Expression Of the Modern
Sanitary Craze.

Sanitary Craze.
Nothing Is prettier or more dainty
than an all in white bedroom. IL Is
not entirely practical IL the room is Of
that convertible type used as sitting
room and sleeping apartment alterna.
lively. But when the dear little bed
room is used TO sleep in only or per-
chance as a dressing room there is no
more perfect scheme than white fur
nishlngs.
Cottage furniture has returned, and
a white enameled bed will look well
with a bureau and washstand that
have been retouched with wood en-
amel In white Even the washstand
china may be an all white porcelain
OF more than usually shapely design.
The woodwork may be whitened, even
II 1t first requires the application OF a
paint remover and the work that en-
tails.
Curtalnlng and wall paper will pre-
sent no difficulty. since the decorator
can now supply both plain and glossy
white papers, and the qualities Of
swiss for sash curtains are practically
numberless. That paper having a
satiny surface or an invisible pattern
Will prove less monotonous, and the
drapery Of the dressing bureau should
match the curtains.
Now. the introduction into this "col-
orless" scheme OF the occasional pic
ture or the bit OF delicate pottery or
metal ware will break what may prove
monotony, but an excess or orna-
mentation IL TO be decried. since the
main object and purpose OF this purity
in colorlng Is the accomplishment OF
an entirely sanitary room.
Yes, 1t may need repaperlng and re-
enamellng sooner than a darker color.
which Is to be anticipated, for our
white bedroom Is intended not only to
look clean, but TO be clean.
A wonderfully dainty woman steps
out Of Just such a room every morning
into what she chooses TO consider q
sunshlny world. and the room seems
to have something to do with her out
