Camp Robertson's Sponsor

Miss Helen Demaret, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. ID. c. Demaret, has been
honored by Camp ]. B. Robertson,
United Confederate Veterans, by her
election as sponsor of the camp for
the annual reunion to be held in Little
Rock, Ark, in May. The honor -
most worthily bestowed. Connected
with the little lady's grace and charm
of manner, and her ability to elegant
ly discharge the duties of her office,
she is the granddaughter of the late
Capt J. S. Mooring, one of the bravest
and most worthy soldiers that ever
battled for the Lost Cause. Captain
Mooring was a member of Company
G, Fourth Texas regiment, Hoods i'm
mortal brigade. Under his great lead
ership he participated in all the great
battles of the war from Manassas to
Appomattox, and at Sharpsburg he
was severely wounded and carried
with him to the grave disabled arm.
1t is meet that his granddaughter
should represent the camp of his old
comrades, and The Eagle is persuaded
that in all the great reunion no camp
will be more worthily represented.

Clubs, and by her ability and capable
direction of affairs in that responsible
position, coupled with her natural
sweet and lovable manner, won the
admiration of a host of new acquaint-
ances.
Miss Roxie Hassell was the eldest
of eleven children, and was looked
upon by the entire family as a guard
ian angel. Her heart was always
ready to take the pain and her Shout
ders strong enough to bear the burden
of every loved one, and no wonder
is it that now the desolation and lone
illness that envelopes the bereaved
ones is beyond the consolation of hu-
man sympathy. Her presence was as
the sweet perfume of the rose, and
now that fragrance has gone forever;
her life was the light in the home,
and now II is night. deep and impene-
trable. When the family had moved
to Dallas, and financial reverses came,
it was dear Roxie who went to work
in her fathers office, helping and
planning and working at his side AT
her fathers death she was so familiar
with every detail of the work that
Mr.. Hassell's successor in office found
her indispensable, and in the short
time she was spared to work in that
capacity he became deeply attached
to her because of her superior ability
and strong and wonderful personality.
She was laid to rest in the beautiful
cemetery in this city, and elaborate
and beautiful floral offerings hid the
sacred spot of earth where repose the
remains of this lovely and lovable
girl, and attested feebly but impress
sively the true and sincere devotion
of a host of loving friends.

THAT FOURTH OF
JULY CELEBRATION

Since the board of directors of the
Bryan Commercial Club decided to
promote big barbecue and Fourth of
July celebration there has been con-
siderable talk about the affair, and
some of the interested parties on both
sides of the statewide question have
spoken of the day as being used in
the interest of the prohibition cam
paign.
When the matter was decided by
the club it was fully understood that
the celebration would be given solely
for the benefit of Bryan and for. all
the people of Brazos county. 1t was
specifically stated that no faction or
party should have any meeting or
gathering for political purposes, and
that politics would be tabooed for the
day and a great assembling of the
people of the county and town would

Miss Roxie Hassell.

Sorrowing friends in this city re
member with lonely hearts the beauti.
full life of Miss Roxie Hassel, whose
sweet childhood, happy girlhood and
beautiful young womanhood were
spent here. Beloved by everybody and
admired for her noble traits of charac.
ter, the imprint. of her sweet influence
still clings around her old home here,
and the sad news of her untimefy
death is a universal sorrow.
Miss Hassell was born in Wellborn
and came to Bryan with her parents
when an infant. She attended the
Bryan High school and afterward com.
pleted her practical education at Bal.
timore, later finishing at one of the
fashionable schools in New York. Re
turning home, she was the recognized
leader of the social set, her attractive
personality making her belle wher.
ever she went, and her popularity ex'
tending throughout the larger cities
of Texas.
Honored by the social leaders OF
A. & NJ. college, she was the first
sponsor of the Scott Volunteers, then
the leading military company at that
institution.
When she removed from this city to
make her home in Corpus Christi she
was again honored by being elected
sponsor for the Confederate veterans
of that city at the Houston reunion.
For three years Miss Hassell had
charge of the travelling art gallery for

! hall and library were transformed
into a veritable flower garden, with
its lavish and exquisitely tasteful dec
orations of bride roses and magnolias.
The climax of the lovely decorations
was reached in the dining room which
showed the result OF ingenious plan
ming and artistic execution, the plan
of decoration and thought having its
conception in the now popular SYM
bolic play of Maeterlink, entitled
The Bluebird, or the Quest for Hap
piness." In the center of the highly
polished table was placed a miniature
lake which was encircled in dainty
ferns studded here and there with
bluebonnets. A pretty effect was OBJ
tanned by the suspension of a blue
bird just above the lake, where partly
concealed was placed his nest. At
each plate We're miniature nests con-
tanning candied eggs The lovely
place cards were hand-painted sachets.
The suggestibility of the cards was in
keeping with this same pretty scheme,
the ornamentation being a bluebird.
The cards also bore the date of this
lovely hospitality. When the guests
were seated Miss Board told the story,
at the close of which the bluebird's
message was revealed.
Quite an elaborate and enjoyable
luncheon was served in several
courses, carrying out the color scheme
of blue and green. The closing fea-
Iture of the luncheon was a round of
merry toasting and many pretty SEN
timents and warm expressions of re-
gard for the happy young girl and
earnest good wishes for her happi-
ness.
Miss Lucy, who possesses lovable
traits of character, is the daughter of
Judge and Mrs. A. G. Board. She has
graced many social functions for sew
eral seasons and no girl was ever
reared in Bryan who was more be-
loved than she, and it is not strange
that she is a favorite with all.
Mr. Summons has many friends in
Bryan and at College, he having grad
uate at the latter place in the class of
1905, and it was during this time their
acquaintance began and passing the
stage of general interest the friend
ship developed into that of mutual
love.
The success of the hostess as an
entertainer is well known and this
beautiful function was but a further
demonstration of her ability in that
line.
The invited guests included Mrs. NJ.
B. Parker, Mrs. s. H. Dunlap, Mrs.
c. B. Burns, Mrs John B. Bagley, Mrs.
e. II. Astin, Mrs G. w. Smith, Jr.,
Mrs. w. P. Bryan, Mrs. e. ]. Kyle,

hood and good feeling. II is the plan
to invite everybody and have an en-
tertainment that will be pleasing to
the great crowd, with nothing that
would in any way mar the good feel
ing that should prevail on a general
holiday for social purposes.
The board of directors has ex-
pressed desire for all business men
and other citizens interested in the
day to be present at the next business
meeting, which will be held next Ties
day, and give the matter thorough
discussion. At that meeting the ques-
ton will be finally decided, and it is
desired to have the decision in ac-
cordance with the will of the ma
jority.

DIRT BROKEN FOR
NEW D0RM|T0RY

Yesterday morning at o'clock dirt
was broken for the foundations of the
new dormitory at the Bryan Baptist
Academy. The entire student body and
faculty and quite large crowd of
friends and patrons were present to
witness the beginning of this impor-
tant addition to the institution. and
an appropriate and interesting pro-
gram was carried out.
The exercises opened with a song
by the entire gathering, followed by
prayer Mr.. A. W. Buchanan, presi-
dent of the board of directors, then
gave brief outline of the history of
the school, its growth, its prospects,
etc. Rev. L. D. Bass, of Mexia, made
an interesting talk on the value of
the UNCONVENTIONAL school, and his re-
marks were both instructive and en-
tertaining. Prof. R. Mcdonald, presi
dent OF the school, then made short
address of encouragement, after which
the exercises closed with prayer by
Rev, ]. j. Pipkin.
The site chosen for the building is
on the brow of a beautiful eminence
in front OF the present dormitory, and
the two buildings will be joined by
concrete walks. 1t has been decided
to give the new dormitory to the girl
students and the present building to
the boys.
