SHEPPARD SAYS n /
WILSON WON FIGHT
And Houston viii Be Leading Port
OF the World, Adds the
Senator.

That the late general election is a
great victory for Democracy because
OF its having firm control over the
Senate for the first time since 1856,
and that deep water will make Hous-
ton one Of the leading ports OF the
world, are the declarations Of Senator
Morris Sheppard.
Senator Sheppard arrived in Hons.
ton Tuesday morning from Washing.
ton TO take part in the No-Tsu-Oh
celebration. After breakfasting at the
Rice, he was taken to the Country
Club by Sterling Myer Senator
Sheppard will leave for Galveston to-
morrow.
THE results OF the election are
highly significant" said the Senator
when seen by Chronicle representa-
tive. President Wilson as we'll as all
other Democrats are highly gratihed
over securing an increased majority
in the upper House Of Congress. The
loss Of few Congressman Is insig-
nificant as compared with the captur.
ing OF the Senate. We now have
majority In both Houses, so that
President Wilson may continue his
policies without being hindered by a
hostile Congress. Administration
measures have always passed the
House with much more ease than the
Senate. Now that both Houses have
working Democratic majority, there
is no question but that President VII.
son will be upheld.
Apparent losses In the recent cleo
ton are only on the surface. think
prospects are most excellent for a
Democratic victory in 1916. II must
also be remembered that our Presi.
dent and THE Democratic party have
not been fully tried. as two short
years is not sufficient time by which
TO Judge a party's ability. BY the
time the next Presidential election
rolls around the people will have fully
realized what Democracy has accom-
plished
"As to the present No-Tsu-oh cele-
bration, ! think II is an excellent
change from the carnival features to
the Deep Water Jubilee. which EN-
phasizes the advantages and ambi-
tions Of Houston. Houston viii un.

ZEPPELIN A CONFEDERATE

An Illinois paper declares that

Resolutions of Respect

Mrs. Matte Baker was born near
Bethel Springs, McNairy Co., Tenn,
Sept. II, 1870. AT the age, of IA
years she was married to P. M.
Baker. and the following year she
united with the Presbyterian church
at Bethel Springs. She became one
of the first members of the church at
Bethesda. She was ever ready and
willing to do what she could for her
Lord and Master, as is shown by her
work in church and in the Sunday
School.
On the morning of Jan. 10, 1914,
after an illness of 5 months, in which
her sufferings were very great, her
spirit was summoned to answer the
last roll call.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved:
lst. That we, the Bethesda Sun
day School, do mourn the loss of Mrs.
Baker.
End. That in her death we recog-
nize that one of our most faithful
teachers and Sunday School workers
has joined the innumerable band gone
before.
Bird. That we extend to the family
our deepest and tenderest sympathy
in their sad bereavement, and COM
mend them to God, the only consider
in such great sorrow.
4th. That copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the minutes of
the Sunday School, copy be furnished
the bereaved family, and a copy be
furnished the Independent for publ
cation.

Meeting Of Road Commissioners

The road commissioners of the
county, at the request of Chairman
Geo. Prather, met in the courthouse
Friday. Nearly all the commissioners
were present. Geo. Prather acted as
chairman, and stated the object of
the meeting was to consult as to their
duties and learn more fully what they
were. He called on Judge ]. c.
Houston, who gave in clear, lucid
manner just what their duties were
in regard to bridges and other work
on their roads. He said their duty
was to exhaust the district FUNDS and
road labor on roads and bridges, and
if bridges were needed for which he
had no funds it was his duty to report
to the county court and if they saw
fit would appoint committee to
make contract and after being built
and received the court could not but
pay for it.
J. w. Purviance was asked to ad-
dress the commissioners. He adyo-
Gated the doing away with so many
little bridges and making rock fords,
or culverts.
After several members made re-
marks and suggestions, it was moved
and adopted that each member ascer-
tain how much and what sized iron
culverts he needed ON his roads, and
send them all in to the chairman Of
the county court, for him to get es-
Inmates of the costs of same and or
der enough for the needs Of commits
sionera; and that they could expend
the funds belonging to their district
in paying for what they used. 1t is
said this will save many a little
bridge, and once in would be good
for twenty years. The commissioners
seemed to be much interested in do
ing their duty as they know it, and
improve all the roads of the county,
in more legal and systematic way
than has heretofore been done.
