WILLIAMSVILLE.

The re-opening of our church on Sun
day, Nov. 18th, at this place was very
much appreciated by the large congrega-
ton which attended divine service. The
day was an ideal one and the church gave
a most delightful appearance from the
effects of what had been done for il in
the way of a thorough overhauling, and
painting and decorating, which is due to
the credit of Edward Deatrick, who took
so much pride i'll doing the work and did
It so nicely One more thing we are
proud to boast of is that when the re-
opening came we had no occasion to call
for money to defray expenses, as it was
all paid. We thank neighbors, friends
and the community at large who were so
generous in giving us for this needed im-
provement.
On Tuesday, November 10Th, the Mil
ford Hundred Sunday School Convention
was held in Williamsville Church. 1t
seemed that every speaker had some in
teresting and valuable points to give us
in regard to Sunday School work, and
how it should be done. The address by
Rev. Thos c. Davis, of Milford, on how
to increase the attendance of our Sabbath
Schools was of great importance to all
present
The services for next Sunday afternoon
are as follows: Sunday School at 80
preaching by the pastor, 800 O'Clock. All
are invited.

Senator Rayner Dies.

Senator IsidOr Rayner, OF Maryland
one of the leading Democratic me L
bers Of the United States senate anC
a man whose name was offered to The
Baltimore convention by William J
Bryan as a suitable compromise can
didate for the presidential nomination
died in Washington of neuritis.
Senator Rayner had been in a seri
Gus condition for about six weeks and
had been in a comatOse condition fol
the most part since last Wednesday.
The control of the United States
senate after March 4 may hinge on
the death of Senator Rayner The Re
publican whom it is expected Cover
nor GoldsbOrOugh. of Maryland. will
appoint in his place will hold office al
least until the Maryland legislature
meets in January. 1914. when a Demo
crat probably will be elected.
Me Rayner's death removes one o.
the Democrats on whom the coutrcl OF
the senate depended in the new con.
gress. With his vote the Democrat
leaders counted on mastering forty
nine, or one more than majority Of
the total membership of ninety-six. In
any event. forty-eight votes. with the
vote of the vice president in case Of a
tie, was looked upon as sufic en-,
strength to insure control. While the
Democrats still have an apparent
strength of forty-eight, the death OF
the Maryland senator reduces the sup
posed majority to a point very neal
the vanishing point
Senator Rayner's illness from neu
ritis covered a period of nearly five
years. He attempted to enter ac
lively in,o the recent presidential
Democratic campaign and met Bourne
Cochran in JOINT debate at Baltimore
late in September The effort exhaust
ed him and he became seriously i'll i'm.
mediately afterward.

Where young deer wade knee deep in swaying

Unless another Diaz takes COM
mand Mexico, will soon become. an
other weekend republic like her
sisters farther south. She needs to
be kept under the lash until every
citizen haslearned his-duty as citi-
zen, than she might be parolad, but
paroled only.
The country is unusually well
favored by nature and by develop
ing It's resources, should soon be-
come one of the rich nations of the
world. 1t has vast forests of
valuable timbers; but a very small
per cent. of it's minerals have been
uncovered and it has,the soil of both
temperate and tropic zones, produc-
ing most everything from corn to
bananas. So far, the fault has been
that foreign capital has done the
only developing, and consequently
the wealth has, gone abroad. The
great masses are as poor to-day as
they were a. hundred years ago,
while most of the necessities of life
have doubled in price.
| Work, ten hours of it. six days in
every week, is what they need. That
and that alone will bring about their
salvation.
At present there are over one
hundred holidays In their yearly
calendar, not counting Sundays; in
total almost one-half the days of the
year and nothing will tempt Peon
to labor ON a holiday.
i They should be taught modern
methods and the use and benefits of
modern implements. / have seen a
hundred laborers in railroad con-
struction gang, fill their wheel bar
rows with dirt, lift the whole thing
to their backs and carry it to the
dump. Ask one Of them why he
does this and he VIII answer "quien
saber'
A few words about their mounted
!, police and am done: They are
called, Ruralies, anG no nation can
boast of any better. Sometime in
the eighties President Diaz issued a
proclamation to all uncaptured ban
dts and outlaws. This edict stated
that, upon their immediate surrend-
er, they would be given a full par
> don and placed upon the pay roll of
the government as mounted police.
They responed almost to man."
By this one act, the country was
purged of its desperate criminals
= and given a force of men who know
no fear, are at home in the saddle
and are familiar with every hiding
. Iplace in the land. When an order
I is given them to bring in man,
L they never fail, though many times
I it's only corpse. So much for the
: wisdom of Proferrio Diaz.

THE LAND OF
HEARTS DESIRE
STEELE BARD
STEELE BARD

Pdper Read Before the ChdutG1Q,tG Circle:
am going to speak to you this
afternoon about the Land of
Hearts Desire" a name of recent
origin for country which was for
merly identified as the Land that
God forgot"
1t has been about score of years
since Richard Harding Davis wrote
his interesting little book The
West From a Car Window" in
which he devoted a chapter to
Southwestern Texas. He paid his
respects to it by describing it as the
most boundless, barren wilderness
of chaparral and underbrush, and the
most worthless waste in all America.
He dealt at length on the fact that
it was the last stand for most of the
bad men of two great nations, the
United States and Mexico; for the
almost impenetrable thicket was
painless and higher than a mans
head. The fugitive who reached
that rendezvous was practically safe
from pursuit, Notwithstanding the
fact that army posts dotted the re,
gion and that a regiment of Texas
Rangers patroled its precincts.
The portion Of Texas referred tx
reached from a point fifty mile
south Of San Antonio to the Ri
Grande near Eagle Pass, and on th'
south from Brownsville to Corpu
Christi; territory larger than tn
state of Massachusetts and of whicl
he might we'll have said:
Somber and vast your stretches,
Baffied the pioneers,
And by thy tragic menace
They moistened your wilds wit
tears.
World of wilderness everywhere,
Level and dim and wide,
Wide as the horizons verges,
Pathless on every side.
The years have added to Richar
Harding Davis fame as a write
and have likewise proven him a
utter failure as land scout, for tt
desolate domain he SO graphical
described is today The Land
Hearts Desire" The tangled will
wood that deceived him continue
its unholy work up to less ths
eight years ago. and it is only We
recently that this section of O.
country, known as the Rio Gran'
Valley-the Nile of America III
come into its own.
A railroad contractor working
the region in 1908 observed that t
country east of the Rio Grande W
cut az intervals by old dry Gre
