FOR NEXT REUNION.
PROMINENT ORATORS SIGNIFY INTENTION
or ATTENDING THIS CELEBRATION.
Bigger and Better Reunion and Fair Thar
Ever Before is Planned by the
Executive Committee.

Heretofore the committee hav-
ing in charge the arrangements
for the annual reunion of Stone
wall Jackson camp of Exon
federates have had quite lot of
trouble in gettingjust the speak
erS who would attract the great
est crowd and who would inter
est the people after they came.
True this portion of the program
has always been satisfactory at
the time of the celebration but,
the arrangements having been
made so late, it has been almost
impossible for the committee to
advertise the speakers. This
year the committee under the
direction of Chairman Cowling,
has been at work and some of
the most prominent men of the
country have signitied their in
tention of being present on that
occasion.
United States Senator Joseph
w. Bailey has written that he
will take pleasure in being here.
Governor Thomas W. Campbell
has said that he would come:
Hon. r. B. Cousins, State Sup
erintendent of Public instruction
who delivered the principal adj
dress at the closing of the school
this year, and who so greatly
pleased the people. willcome and
be with us; Hon. K. NJ. Hall of
Vernon, who has so rightfully
won the title of The Silver
Tongued Orator of Texas" has
written that he would be with US
and Judge Carrigan of Wichita
Falls, one of the ablest men of
the state, has accepted the invita-
ton. United States Senator
Culberson has written stating
that if it could possibly be ar
ranged he would attend and that
he would let the committee know
at an early date.
With this array of speakers it
will be possible for the commit
tee to have at least two good
speakers on each of the three
days of the time and that, with
the interesting program which
the committee is arranging with
reference to music, entertain
ments and such like. will make
it the biggest and best ever held
in the Panhandle.

From The Woman's Christian TemperanceUnion.

When the remains of Daniel
Webster were lying in state in
Boston. after many of the most
distinguished orators of the ma
ton had delivered speeches upon
the occasion, an unknown Irish
man was observed looking on the
scene with intense interest, and
was called upon to speak. He
arose and gazing steadily for a
moment upon the massive brow
and sunken cheeks of the de-
ceased statesman, slowly
remarked: Webster is dead
and Massachusetts, is lonely"
Mrs. D. A. Park is dead and
the people of Canyon City are
lonely.
On this occasion we have an
illustration of the fact that while
in life we are in the midst of
death. The chill monster has
laid his paid hand upon her
beautiful brow, and the graceful
form has fallen, the bright eye
dim Death loves a shining
mark. Gods ways are inscru-
table, past finding out-not our
way. O Lord, but thine is done
Resolved, that in the death of
our sister, Mrs. Myrtle Park,
the Woman 5 Christian Temper
ance Union has lost a most faith
full and beloved member. In
fact she was one of the most en-
thusiastic members in the work
here. There is for all who knew
her the blessed assurance that
all is well for her and that some
day in the beautiful garden of
God we will walk with her and
gather loves fadeless flowers.
And we commend her husband
and two precious little children
to Him who is the giver of every
good and perfect gift.
Be it further resolved, that a
COPY of these resolutions be
handed the Randall County News

A Remarkable But True Snake

Story.
Mr.. w. V. Hegler, of the Pri-
mus section, had a unique ex-
perience last Wednesday. He
went to his blacksmith shop to
do some work, and on undertak-
ing to operate the bellows. he
found that it wouldn't work.
While trying to ascertain the
cause of the trouble snake
stuck it's head out of the hole.
Mr.. Hegler secured pair of
tongs and withdrew the reptile
and killed it. 1t was a large
chicken snake. about six feet
long. Returning to his bellows,
Mr.. Hegler found that it still
wouldn't work, and while exam
ining it, another snakes head
was thrust out of the hole. The
astonished farmer pulled it out
also with his tongs and killed
it. The snakes were both of the
same kind and size. There is
now very offensive odor about
the bellows and Mr.. Hegler thinks
that there is one or more dead
snakes in it.

Our God and Father, who art
the beginning and the end, by
whom all things were created
and by whom all things are sus-
tanned; evermore protect and de-
fend this monument which we
have unveiled in thy name today.
May the.sun shine gently upon

destructive path of the storm.
May it never be disfgured by
the ruthless hands of vandals as
II to initiate those who with axes
and hammers broke down the
carved work of thy sanctuary.
Accept, we beseech thee, the
humble service of all who con-
trlbuted of their substance unto
the erection of this monument.
Let thy blessing rest upon them,
and also upon those women who
have labored so .tirelessly and un-
selfishly that they might obtain
Unnecessary fundswith which to
build this memorial to our Ihon-
ored and blessed dead, and who
rejoice today because their ef-
forts have been crowned with
success. Bless the sculptor who
planned this stone and likewise
the skilled workmen who polish
and fashioned it into beauty. And
bless. we entreat thee, the old
soldiers who still abide with us.
Having fought many battle on

grace to fight the good fight of
faith, to endure unto the end,
and obtain the victory: yea. to
become more than conquerors
through him that loved them.
Grant unto all of us here pres
ent thy grace, that our gifts and
all our service may be sanctified,
and we may become in soul and
body living monuments of the
Holy Ghost.
