PROMINENT MISSION
AIRY LEADER IN BRYAN
Or. c. F. Reid, Layman's Missionary
Secretary, breaches at First
Methodist Church.

DIR. c. F. Reid OF Nashville, Tenn,
secretary of the Layman's Missionary
Movement of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, is in the city and spoke
on yesterday at the First Methodist
church in the interest of the great
cause which he represents. His ad-
dress at the morning hour was on
The Challenge of China" At the
evening hour he spoke on Korea. 1t
was real privilege to hear him. He
was for many years a missionary in
China and had the honor of opening
the first missionary work done by his
church in the little kingdom of Korea.
He possesses an intimate knowledge
of the people of both these countries
and his style of imparting such knowl
edge is at once attractive and impress
sive. He declared China to be the
biggest thing in the world in its re-
ligious and commercial possibilities,
and ascribed the present revolution in
that country to the progressive infiu-
ence of the gospel. He predicted final
success for the liberal ideas of the
revolutionists. He described Korea as
the miracle of modern missions and
| in the course of his remarks brought
forth the fact that few months ago
four thousand people were baptized
into the Christian church in a Korean
city within one week.
DR.. Reid addressed the ladies of the
Methodist church this afternoon at 3
o'clock and will speak again at the
Methodist mems oyster banquet to-
night.

". 'G|LL|E MITCHELL DEAD
A Brave Soldier, a Loving Brother
a Good Citizen Entered
Into Rest.

Mr.. W. GinA Mitchell died at his
home in this cry yesterday afternoon
after a long illness. He was taken i'll
during last summer, AMI while his
health failed rapidly, yet he continued
at his post as manager of the brick
warehouse until about the first Of De-
cember. Since then he has been con-
fined to his home, except on pleasant
days when feeling stronger he would
come downtown for a short while.
He was able to sit up and walk
about the place, and during yesterday
afternoon he walked out into the back
yard and while there fell, death en-.
suing instantly. His sister heard him
fall and members of the family rushed
to him, but he was dead when they
reached him.
William Gillian Mitchell was born in
Franklin county, Kentucky, February
|3, 1916, aged IS years, II months and
IL days. Later the family moved to
Mississippi, where he grew to man
hood and where he enlisted in the reg
ular army of the Confederate States
of America in 1868. He enlisted in
Company X, Fourteenth Mississippi
Regiment, Buford's division, and was
assigned to Forests corps. He parti-
cipated in many of the notable en-
gagements Of the war, and though a
young man was as brave soldier and
fought as valiantly as any of the
heroes of the South who drew swords
in defense of home and country. He
was paroled by Gen. E. R. s. Candy
in May, 1865, at Selma, Ala. He was
a charter member of Camp ]. B. Rob-
ertson, United Confederate Veterans,
and In recognition of his valiant serv-
ices to the Confederacy his old COM
rades in arms made him adjutant OF
the camp, which position he held until
his death.
As a man and citizen, Brazos county
had no better. He was the soul OF
honor, true to his friends, brave as a
Spartan, yet withal as kind hearted
and gentle as a little child. His big,
noble, generous heart went out to tins
downtrodden, the oppressed, the poor,
and in charity his open hand was out.
stretched to all Everybody loved
"Gilley" Mitchell, and it is doubtful
If any man who ever lived in the
county had more friends than he.
He had resided in Bryan isnce 1870
and was for several years justice OF
the peace of this precinct, making as
faithful and efficient official as the
county ever had.
He was never married and leaves
no immediate family of his own. He is
survived by one brother, Mr.. j. f
Mitchell, and one sister, Miss ]. l.
Mitchell, both of this city. He leaves
three nieces and one nephew, as fol
lows: Mrs. Mary Alice Ball, Miss
Effie Mitchell and Jacques F. Mitchell
OF this city, and Mrs. NJ. E. Alexander
of Houston.

services.
