early In the campaign as man who
would not and could not be induced
to say anything derogatory Of his
political opponent. evidently chang
ed his mind at the last minute. Dur
Ing the past two weeks he has prob
ably had numerous opportunities to
realize that he was up against the
real thing. and at the last minute
resorted to political tactics that TO
say the least are as despicable as
they are contemplate.
One day this week Mr.. Todd mailed
several hundred or thousand letters

SchooI Notes,

The consolidated rolls Of the
County Superintendent Of Ran
dali County for the schoo. year
beginning September 1st. 1910,
show the following:
Nun Der Of children of school
age in Canyon City Independent
District. 344; number last year.
81; gain, q.
Number children of scholastic
age in rural districts, 403; num-
Der last year 39l; gain, u.
Total number of schoolastics
in the county, TAI; total nun Der
last year, 708; showing a gain for
the county of 80 or about 5 II
per cent.
Three common school districts
in the county have voted bond
issues within the last few months
for the purpose of building
school houses. These bond rec
ords havd been approved by the
Attorney General and the bonds
are being printed.
On account of the decrease in
property valuations as fixed by
the Commissioners Court. the
funds from district taxes will be
slightly less this year than last,
but will still be sufficient for
good terms Of school
School houses which need |
paint or repairs should now be
looked after so that they may be
ready for the fall terms. To
neglect these things is false
economy.

Good Times in Texas,

Big crops of small grains, adj
ded to bumper crops of corn and
cotton, large and profitable truck
crops, a record making peach
crop and a perfect season for
grass, with it's guaranty of fat
range cattle-these things mean
that the farmers of Texas will
enjoy great prosperity next fall
and winter. They will be liberal
buyers of all that the cities have
to sell. More Texas farm boys
and girls will find the way open
to a higher education in the col
leges of the state, and the sale of
modern farm machinery will
boom. Incidentally, the land
men-an army Of developers
who are doing a valuable work
for Texas will find it easier to
sell their staple, and at advanced
prices. The railroads will be
put to it to handle the crops, and
every town and city industry will
do more business because of the
good year in the fields. orchards,
gardens and ranches. - South

Earl B, VanSant

Earl b. VanSant was born in
Delta County, Texas, in 1892,
coming with his parents to the
Panhandle of Texas when only
two years old, having lived here
continuously since. His parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. |. L. VanSaut, are
of our best citizens, numbering
their friends~oy the score.
Earl was an unusually goof
boy at all times; Industrious, re.
liable aid manly in every re-
spect; always consultingihis par
ents as to what he should do or
where he should go. He was a
graduate of the high school of
Canyon, class 1910, and had
bright prospects for great fut-
ure before him; but alas. while
out for recreation Wednesday
night. June %, 1910, the grim
monster death. with his icy fin
ger. touched the manly brow,
ana took from earth a beautiful
life
A beautiful life: Yes, all that
could be said of a dutiful son, Of
a faithful student, or a loveable
companion could be truthfully
said of Earl. And above all things
else. he was Il bright, faithful
Christian young man. So great
was this thought of him, that it
is the one consolation of the
heart broken family. A heavy
cloud has settled over the home.
and sorrow has filed the hearts
there. Yet thanks unto Him
who doeth all things well, we
can look up through this cloud of
sorrow and say;
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast;
There by His love o er shaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from carroding care;
Safe from the world temtations,
Sin cannot enter there.
Jesus, my hearts dear refuge,
Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages
Ever my trust shall be.
We weep not for Earl as those
who have no hope, for we believe
hat when the mists have rolled
lWay, we Will De prlVeldged 10
,tricb hands with him as we en-
er the threshold of the Eternal
lily of God. There will be no
hight there, no sadness neither
sorrow nor crying and no heart
-ches TO cause US pain. But
resus himself will put His arms
# love about US and, with His
,wn hand, wipe the tears from
ur eyes.
10 the God who is able to keep
ur strength, we commend our
ear Brother and Sister Van
,ant for sustinance.
