j. E. Davidson.

J. E. Davidson, one of the most
prominent citizens of the Chester
Vile community, died at his home
near that place on last Saturday af-
ternoon at 4:30 o'clock, after an ILL
ness OF three weeks. Mr.. Davidson
was 40 years, Z months and days
old, and has been a resident of the
Chesterville community for about fif-
teen years, having moved there from
Beaconsfeld, Iowa, in March, 1900.
He leaves to mourn his death his
widow and five children, Jessie, FL
ton, Dora, Sammie and Della, moth
er whose home is at Grand River,
Iowa, and brother John of Parker,
S. D., and four sisters, Mrs. Shaw,
of Garrett, Oklahoma, Mrs. Munyon
and Mrs. Mckee of Grand River,
Iowa, and Mrs. Cone of Murray,
Iowa. His family, mother and one
sister, Mrs. Cone, were at his bedside
when the end came.
Mr.. Davidson was a we'll known
citizen of the Chesterville community
where he has been engaged in the
rice growing and stock raising bust
ness since moving to Texas in 1900.
He was very popular among his as
sociates and enjoyed the friendship
and esteem of all who knew him.
Mr.. Davidson was member of the
local Odd Fellows lodge and was also
member of the w. o. w. The fun
eral was held here Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, the services being at the
Methodist church conducted by the
pastor, Rev. L. c. Lilly, the services
at the grave being conducted by the
Odd Fellows.
In the death of Mr.. Davidson our
community has lost another OF its
best citizens. He was a good man
and was liked by everyone. The Head
light joins with the people of the
community in extending it's sincerest
sympathy to the bereaved relatives

solved by mutual consent.
Alimony is a method of juggling
the law so as to wiring monthly
check out of the defendant, who
probably was not at fault anywhere
except in marrying two or three
other women without informing his
first wife. The laws of this country
are very unjust, as can be seen by the
fact that women are never required
to pay alim0ny. This causes contempt
for law and also causes many de-
tached husband to 60 through bank
ruptcy and remove to South America
where sound, flat-footed wives are a
drug on the market.
Cruel and inhuman treatment is a
frequent cause of divorce, and Is re-
sorted to successfully by cowed hus-
bands whose stomachs have been put
on the retired list by inhuman cook
ing. The courts have ruled to their
credit, that any husband who can
bring into court an attack of chronic
dyspepsia will be freed and no ques-
tions asked, which teaches us to be
more patient with our lawmakers

Tells Moose Time Has Come for
Them 10 Return TO Repub-
IiCan Ranks.

The United States has missed within
the last few months the greatest op-
portunity as world power 1t ever has
had. i'm the opinion Of ex-Unitod States
Senator Burton. In an address before
a Republican audience in Brooklyn last
night. he said that President Wilson
had signally failed in his diplomatic
intercourse with Europe as well as In
the Mexican tangle.
"And mark my word he said impress
sively, had 1t not been that the Euro
pean nations were too seriously IN
volved with their own affairs. We
should have one or more OF them over
here 10 settle the Mexican problem. IL
was the European war alone that pre-
vented the situation from Becoming a
menace 10 us"
Then he turned his attention 70 the
Progressives and explained that 1t now
was time for them to join hands with
the Republicans and forget old wounds.
Every true Republican must deplore
the occurrences of 1872" he said. But
,f we consider the causes that led TO
the separation then-it must be apparent
TO all that it was not due 70 causes that
must be permanent. Misunderstand-
ings and personal aspersons that nave
their part in every bitter political fight
had 70 90 with the withdrawal from the
Republican party then. Republicans
and Progressives should forget their
differences and come together because
of the great essentials upon which they
agree"
