This lesson from the mysterious death
of Miss Minnie Marchman the Seven
teen-year- old belle of Amboy distric-
is drawn by Rev. B. F. Rainey, the dead

flock at Pleasant Hill Baptist, a pic

Miss Marchman was a regular attend

The girl is said to have possessed

minister manifested much emotion
An Affectionate Heart
Minnie was a good girl with a bis
affectionate heart, and her untime,v
end comes as great shock to this
whole community" said Mr.. Rafner
"Of course, we don't know yet that she
was poisoned, but the circumstances Of
her death are such as to act as a terri

They Must Be Sure.
There are other Minnie Marchmars
girls pure and sweet-who love with
all of the force of their affectionate be-
ings. and now is the time for them 10
guard their footsteps-before II is too
late. Now is the time to ascertain
whether the man on whom they are
bestowing their wealth of love is
worthy Of so great fortune
"They should inquire into their own
consciences and listen to its dictates
They should be sure they are dealing
with men-real men.
The saddest feature to me Of this
whole tragedy is the fact that this
sweet girl was taken advantage Of IL
such an awful way. 1t is a heart
breaking blow to her parents in partic-
uIar and to her friends. She was a cir
much admired, and was girl who was
always loyal to her friends.

summer by 6,2s7 votes. One Of the
four senatorial candidates, James VOL
ters Of Houston, was the anti-prohibi-
tion leader in the campaign, His op-
ponents today are Congressman Nor
his Sheppard, Congressman C.B, Ran
dell and Matt zolIner. Mr.. Sheppard
has come out as a prohibitionist.
There are two candidates for COVER
nor, Oscar B. CoIquitt. the incumbent;
and william ~ RamselI, former asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court of
Texas. A close race is expected. Last
summer Governor Colquitt was align
ed against prohibition.
