finished for Mr.. M. S. Burns, of this
city. on his lot in Pine Hill ceme-
terry, mausolenm of costly and en-
during material, simple and elegant

construction. II is built of Bedford
granite, lined with white marble.
1t is 5 feet wide, Ia feet long and
about IL feet high. The walls are
8 inches thick, and SO heavy that i

This imposing structure serves
the double purpose of grave and
monument and is probably the only
one of the kind in this part of the
State. 1t is as lasting as the eter-
ial Fills. mute reminder to mortal
ity that to all OF us the end must
come.
The entire work of construction
was done by The F. G. McColm

Camping IN Texas.

Amarillo, Texas, July, 31.-Big
Sandy News readers and friends; |
am again taking pleasure in writing
you. In my previous letter told
you of the beauty and opportunities
of this country and in this writing
! will tell you of my recent trip
to Pala Dura Canyon. | in party
of six left this city in a wagon en-
route to this canyon for a rest and
recreation. We took a camping out
| fit and plenty of eatables.. We ar
rived at 8 o'clock p. M, and camp
ed on top tte breaks which was
800 feet above the water. We went
into camp, eat our lunch and spread
our comforts on the white grayels
and called it going to bed. This
was uncomfortable to me as | have
always had goose hair bed to
sleep on, Anyway | was awake most
all night to listen to the coyotes
and barking wolves that very well
played their part until six a. m,
and at this time we arose from the
stony beds and proceeded to pre-
pare breakfast. Our leader, w. H.
King, was an old time cowboy and
was chosen cook. He accepted the
position and served the spuds,
breakfast badon and scrambled eggs
in very satisfactory manner. We
then decided we must go down into
the canyon to the devils kitchen as
1t is generally known in this coun-
try and to do this we was compell-
ed to drive miles before we found
a road leading into the great can
yon. This canyon is the head ofl
Red river and is many miles long,
its general trend is eastward and
looking upward from the bottom |
Of the embankment of dirt and rock |
cliffs resemble the old Egyptian pic
lures that we have seen displayed.
The devils kitchen is what W.
would call very large cave with a
round opening through the top TO
The surface, and has several springs
and large stones under meath.
IN fact, it is an ideal curio-
'ity for plains country and we
enjoyed the scenery with the recre-
ion and refreshments.O Our party was
composed of two Kentuckians my
'elf and j. Q. Dyer. King, our cook
rom Florida, our teamster, Hurt
rom Tennessee, Porker one of the
i've wires from Louisiana, and
'reere Texan and decent from
french parents and another live
wire. We are all engaged in busi-
less in this city and do not often
ave an opportunity to go out on
trip SO this one afforded~us
nuch pleasure. J L

 To the patrons who have labor ed so patiently in order to com plete our new school building, we extend our sincere thanks.
 Since education is the watch word of the day, we, as students, should avail ourselves of the op. portunities of a practical educa- tion. Never before in the worlds history has there been such op- portunities for students as now.
