old. Mr.. Donaldson had been
complaining of dizziness of
the head for several months be-
fore his death. Thursday even
ing before he died. he took a
bucket and went to a neighbor s
for a fresh bucket of water and,
drawing the water from the well,
he tainted and fell upon the stone

Sunday morning following this
and other fainting spells, | went
to see him, about $50 o'clock, he
was resting well, seemed cheer
full, and made request that there
be less noise in the room than up
on the previous day. At 7:10 he
complained of faintness and
several friends rubbed different
parts of his body to increase cir
culation; when suddenly he re-
marked Here it is on me-" we
raised him to a sitting, posture
and continued rubbing, but he
realized that the end was near
and made several attempts to
speak, but the sounds were in
articulate.
On the night of the 18th, Bro.
Lark, of the Methodist Church,
conducted the funeral services
at the church in Altus. paying
many beautiful tributes to the
deceased. He concluded with
giving what he thought to be the
two most prominent traits of his
character, his power in prayer
and his love for children.
After these services, several
of his friends accompanied the
remains to the home of Mrs. G..
| c. Logan, a friend at GAINESVILLE
and at 10 O'Clock on the 18th, he
was buried in Oakland Cemetery.

one whose intimate friendship
has existed for a period of nearly
forty years, the one writing it
ought not to be at a loss what to
say concerning the life
and character of the deceased,
especially so if they have lived
In the same community, under
gone similar experiences, studied
the character of each of those
with whom they have mixed and
mingled.
Our acquaintance with Mr..
Donaldson began in the summer
of 1875, when he came to Altus.
One could not be with him long
without being impressed with
his deeply religious nature. In
prosperity and adversely he lived
the life of a consistent christian.
He was born in Fort Smith,
June 4, 1912, and died at his
home in Altus on the 18th day
of July, 1914. His parents dying,
he drifted to Hacket City, where
he met a nobleman by the name
of Mr.. Bender. However, be
fore the meeting of Mr.. Bender,
his experiences as an orphan boy
was not unlike that of other or
phan children. Under the hos
pitable roof Of Mr.. Bender he
received shelter and protection,
and it was through generosity
of Mr.. Bender that the boy re
ceived a common school education
Leaving Hacket City, we next
find him near GAINESVILLE teach
ing school. At about this time
the Civil war occurred, and he en-
listed in company of one nun,
dred and ten, organized by Capt.
SWag@erty of GAINESVILLE, and he
went to the front to fight for the
right as he saw it. Right here
let me give an instance of the
right as he saWlt. He was lieut.
enant of his company and in
command of the company on one
occasion, when the whole com
pany being thirsty, stopped at
a farm house for water. In rid
ing from the farm. he discovered
that one of his men had laggtd
behind and suspecting evil of
this man, he rode back to the
farm and there this soldier, with
revolver pointed at the aged man
of the home was telling him to
dig up else he would kill him.
Lieutenant Donaldson ordered
the soldier to be gone else he
would be the victim, instead of
the harmless and defenseIess old
man.
OF those who enlisted with
him at GAINESVILLE. there are bat
three who are still living: H. c.
Armstrong, Altus, John Blair.
Cabin Creek, and Alb Smeadley.
Texas.
After the war he returned to
his home near GAINESVILLE, and
to begin anew the peaceful pur-
suits. of happiness, he married a
Miss SalIie Bateman with whom
he lived for few years till sh e
died. No offspring blessed this
union, but, instead, it was bless
ed with two orphan children.
Willie Reid. who died shortly
after the wife, and the other
one, Mr.. Jno. T. Hodge is today,
living with his third wife, Mrs.
Donaldson.
Grief at the loss of the first
wife and little Willie, caused him
to think of higher things; so he
joined the Presbyterian Church
and was a member till 1906 when
he connected himself with the
NJ. E. Church South and was i'm
mediately appointed superinten-
dent of the Sunday school, re-
organizing only two or three
| weeks hafora he diad

Another Rejoinder.

Editors Freeman-Tribune: Your
rejoinder in Friday nights issue on
the methods Of the Anti-Saloon
League misses the mark. 1t is an
evasion, cleverly worded, indeed, but
an evasion nevertheless. You fall
back on the statement that "the
League made a blunder and the
Freeman-Tribune told the truth in
saying so" There never was any
issue between US on that point. 1t
is one thing, however, to charge the
League with having made blunder,
and quite another thing to attack
it's methods and attempt to discredit
it in the eyes of the people. Like any
other human institution, the League
may blunder, but that does not war;
rant anyone in making a general at
tack on it's methods.
You say that the example of the
Decorah newspaper is not a parallel
case, and that 1.-The Freeman-Trib-
une believes in publicity, but not in
a misleading publicity" Is that not
ignoring the fact that the "mislead-
ing" character of the publicity was
caused by the characteristic per-
verseness'' not Of the 'Anti-Saloon
League, but of another? And is it
not justifying a man who refuses to
put himself on record on a matter in
which the people are SO vitality in
terested,-the suppression of intem-
perance? And that, too, when the
very spirit of the times demands the
utmost frankness of its public serv-
ants?
You give it as your opinion that
the Leagues method of asking a
candidate where he stands is not the
best, and that ''the best proof of a
LEGISLATORS attitude is his legislative
record But if that record is not
clear, what then? In the case OF
Senator Chase, it may be said that
he supported the Sammis bills, the
object of which was to eliminate the
attorneys fees which, under the law
go to the prosecution of liquor cases
If these bills had passed, the pay fol
the attorney who prosecutes liquor
case would come no longer out of thu

JUDGE B|RDSALL
HEARING CASE
Opened Court Here Yesterday After.
noon as Referee in Bank
ruptcy.

At the recent term of the district
court Judge Albrook appointed
Judge Birdsall of Clarion referee in
the case of the Lehigh Sewer Pipe
& Tile Company VS.. Tuscola Supply
& Construction company ct al, and
the hearing began at the court
house in this city yesterday after
noon and was on until late this FORE
noon, when Judge Birdsall had to
adjourn the hearing until tomorrow
on account Of having important leg
al business at Clarion which de-
manded his attention this afternoon.
The Lehigh company is asking
for judgment against the Tuscola
and it's sureties and bonds
men for some $4,000 or $4,000
claimed for supplies. There are a
number of other claims against the
company On account of some con-
tracts entered into by the Tuscola
company and Hamilton county. The
bond company is responsible for
some $4,000 and the county has in
the neighborhood of $4,000 due on
the contracts. Hence if the Lehigh
succeeds in establishing it's
claims and other claims for labor
and material together with costs
does not consume too much money
the Lehigh company will get what
is due it. There are some technical
questions involved and upon the set
tlement of these depends whether or
not the creditors will be compen-
sated.

Under the Mistletoe.

D. H. Bauman, the local postmast-
er, has a sentimental strain in his
personality and there is no denying
it. For the first time in the history
Of the local post Office two fine big
holly wreaths hang just above each
of the general delivery windows.
But this is not all of the story. Sus-
pended from each wreath is a branch
of mistletoe, large enough to Re un-
mistakably mistletoe. AS result of
the beautiful decorations all the
pretty girls of the town are careful
wien buying stamps or mailing
their parcels to stand out from un-
der the mistletoe, while all those
who are-well, you know the de-
scription-"very plain but so good,
you know" take the situation by
the horns, as it were, and stand bold
ly underneath the mistletoe. These
beautiful decorations may be the
starting point of interesting circum-
stances. Time will tell.
