Obituary.

On Wednesday morning, April 26th,
Mrs. Nancy Lauchry passed away at
the home Of her daughter, Mrs. Scott
Friend, at SelbyspOrt. She was perhaps
the oldest person in the county, having
reached the age of ninety eight years,
eleven months andSwenty-siX days. She
leaves behind her to mourn her depart
ure two sons and a daughter and num-
erOus relatives and friends.
She was born in Pennsylvania and at
an early age was converted and joined
the Disciples. After her removal to
Maryland she united with the Baptist
church Of which she remained a consis-
tent member until her departure. 1t
was the good fortune of the writer to
have been her pastor and to have known
her for nearly six years. During that
time her manifest faith in God was an
Inspiration. When | last saw her she
was very weak and sometimes her mind
would wander. She would talk to me
about mutual acquaintances and then
she would forget my presence and re-
peat softly to herself passage after
passage of Scripture. She seemed to
be living partly in this world and part
ly in the one whittier she was going.
For her death had no terrors. 1t was
simply departing to be with her Lord
We are sad because of the parting, but
are glad that her pilgrimage is over and
that she is with those who long ago had
been parted from her Those who are
left have our sympathy and prayers
that God may give them comfort and
that their lives may be so ordered that
when the death angel summons them
that they may be ready to answer his
call with joy.
Her funeral was preached by her pas
tor in the Deep Creek church and her
body was laid to rest in the Thayerville
cemetery until God shall call it forth in
the resurrection day.

Baptists Growing.

The Waterman in an editorial headed,
'Baptists the Largest Protestant
Body" says:
When the full statistics of religious
bodies in the United States, according
to the census Of 1900 were published
about two years ago, the Waterman
calculated that, from the rates Of in
crease between 1890 and 1900, the cen
sus of 1910 would show that the Bap,
lists are the largest Protestant body in
Tie United States. The figures of reli-
gious bodies, according to the census Of
1910, will not be available for several
years. But DR.. H. K Carroll Of the
Methodist Missionary Society and for
merly superintendent of the religious
bodies department Of the United States
Census has published his annual stats
ties for 1910, which confirm the calcula-
lations of the Waterman. According
toDr. Carroll the Baptists, North, South
and Negro, now number 5, 454,872 and
the Methodists, North. South and Ne
gro, 5,253, 529 an excess for the Bap-
fists of POI, 344.

WAR ON THE COMMON FLY
Woman's Civic Club Enlisted in Good
Cause

The common peSuferOuS house fly is
the bane of the average housewife as
well as every bald headed man, especi-
ally so on hot, sultry days-Hke those
we used to have last August, not. how
ever this MAY, 1911.
Fly time hasn't arrived yet, but the
members of the Woman's Civic Club,
like troubles, are always with US, and
they propose to fOrestall the fly To
this end they have launched a house fly
campaign and they PROPOSE to wage IN
relenting war. They will be manfully
seconded in their efforts by the men, es-
pecially the bald-headed men.
The common house fly is bred and born
in filth. In stables and other places
where dirt and foul matter accumulate,
are hot beds for the breeding of TIE fly.
1t requires from ten to fourteen days
for the fly to produce a generation. A
good way Of expressing the vital human
relation Of flies would be by the use of
the three ''f's"-flth, flies, food.
During the Spanish-American war a
great plague of fever broke out IN the
different camps of our army. 1t was
noticeable to all that flies were numer-
Gus, both at the mess tents and on the
refuse of the camp. Flour was sprink-
led on the refuse of the camp and dur
ing mess the same fiour-laden flies
crawled over the soldiers food. Some
germ cultures were placed on the earth
and the flies allowed to walk over them
and from these cultures hosts of typhoid
fever germs were developed. 1t was
thus proven beyond question that flies
were carriers of disease.
The most practical way to prevent the
spread of fly diseases is to destroy all
filth, screen our houses and kill the flies
directly whenever possible.
The Civic Club is to be commended for
its educational efforts along this line and
also for its efforts in making the town
cleaner and consequently more sanitary.
A bulletin recently issued by the Fly
Fighting Committee of the American
Civic Association of Washington, D. c..
contains, among other things the follow
ing, which the committee most desires
TO impress upon the minds Of the Amer
lean people:
DON'T allow flies in your house.
DON'T permit them near your food,
especially milk.
DON'T buy foodstuff where flies are
tolerated.
DON'T have feeding places where
flies can load themselves with elections
from typhoid or dysenterIc patients.
DON'T allow your fruits and c5nfec-
tons to be exposed to the swarms OF
flies.
DON'T let flies crawl over the baby 5
mouth and swarm upon the nipple Of the
nursing bottle.
The mex. meeting Of the Civic Club
will be held on Tuesday, the 9th inst,
when all members are urgently reques-
ted to be present, as business of great
Importance is to be discussed and action
taken.

County Fair Suggested.

Some of our enterprising citi-
Gems are discussing the matter Of
arousing interest in a county fair
and getting an exhibit for the
Dallas Fair. IL is suggested that
the people of Scurry county have
three days meet during the
first week in October for the dis
play of our farm products, live
stock etc. This could be made an
interesting and profitable event
Let us bring in maize, kaffir corn
cotton, broom corn, vegetables,
fruits, forage crops, cattle, horses
hogs, chickens, turkeys-in fact
we might bring in many things
that would be of general interest
so we, and those who might visit
ms at that time, may see to what
perfection stuff will grow in this
country. From this accumulation
we may select prize winners to be
taken to Dallas. Everyone should
take a hand in this movement so
as TO insure its success.
