Of this development. IL is admitted on
all sides that the Neo- Malthusian no

the number of children have already
spread To the lower classes. and that
there is no possibility of fighting by
Legislative measures against a wide

the fact that under the better salutary
conditions of our times the mortality
of the infants has been reduced con-

DEATH OF MRS.
D0RcAs A. LAWRENCE
Venerable Lady, Loved and Honored,
Lies Down to Rest
Eternal.

AS briefly mentioned in The Eagle
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Dorcas A.
Lawrence, better known to her rela-
tives and hundreds of friends as
Grandma" Lawrence, closed her eyes
to the things of earth on Saturday
morning at 1920 o'clock and entered
into rest, blissful and eternal. There
was no particular disease from which
she suffered, but rather a yielding to
the infirmatives of age and a stopping
of the hour glass of time through
which the sands of her life had been
sitting through a long, long stretch of
years.
Grandma" Lawrence was born near
Philadelphia, Tenn, April 10, 1919
making her at the time of her death
81 years 10 months / day of age
When quite young her parents moved
to Murfreesboro, Tenn, where she was
reared and ducated. In 1888 she was
united in marriage to William Law
renee in that city and in 1916 she and
her husband moved to Texas, settling
| in Robertson county, near where
Wheelock now stands. Those were in
deed pioneer days, and the hardships
and vicissitudes through which they
and the other early settlers passed
made an interesting chapter in the
history of their lives
After a few years residence there
they moved to this county, near Alex
ander, long before there was such
town as Bryan and while old Boonville
was still the county seat. 1t was here
that she began the real work of a
Christian life-charity and noble
deeds-which continued through the
long fight of years until the very end.
She and her husband assisted in
the organization of the old Alexander
Methodist church, and she was per-
haps the last OF its charter members.
The church at Alexander is still one
of the leading country churches of the
county, and it's life and work are
largely due to the labor of this pious,
Cody woman wrought long, long
years ago.
Thirty-five years ago she came to
Bryan to live and placed her letter in
the Methodist church here. She was
always an active church worker, and
until her sight failed her was always
busy with her needle making some
article of fancy work for the church
bazaars. After she could no longer see
to ply her needle, her grandchildren
planned for her to keep up her church |
works'by giving for her on each re- |
curing birthday a Grandma Law.

CANADIAN RE C|PROCITY |
HAS BEEN TAKEN UP
Objections Overcome, Absentees Sum-
moned and House Begins Con-
sideration of Taft's Pet
Measure.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]

Washington, Feb. 13.-After over
coming several objections by members
and summoning all absentees to the
chamber, the house voted today to
take up consideration of Canadian
reciprocity Immediately. The vote to
take up reciprocity was 1876 to 121,
which is regarded as good index of
the houses opinion on the merits of
the bill. The opposition is composed
mostly of republicans, a majority of
whom are standpatters.
