OBITUARY

Forrest Ransom, the eleven year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Moore, of
Quay, passed away at the Physicians
Hospital in Tucumcari, Tuesday, Oc-
tober 2.
Three weeks previous to his death
he underwent a very serious opera
ton for appendicitis and for a time
hopes were entertained for his recov-
cry. All that medical skill and loving
are could do was done but, alas, it was
all in vain and Forrest has gone home
to Him who said, Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom Of
Heaven" 1t is truly said Death loves
a shining mark"
Forrest was a bright handsome boy
well beloved by all who knew him and
his bright smile and CHEEKY voice will
be sadly missed by his schoolmates
and teacher and by the friends with
whom he has associated.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. G. NJ. Buckner at the Moore
home Oct. 3rd, at 2 o'clock, attended
by a large c%oncourse of friends.
Our sympathies go out to the strick-
en- parents this sad bereavement. On
ly a few weeks ago the only daughter
was taken away-and where a short
time ago three happy children bright
ened the home-only one little boy is
left. May the Heavenly Father, "who
doeth all things well' comfort their
sad hearts and dry their tears-and
make them to realize that Earth has
one sorrow that Heaven cannot heal"
Not now but in the coming years,
1t may be in the Better land;
Well know the reason of our tears
And there be made to understand"
"A Friend.

DEATH OF MRS BLANTON

Sept. 81, 1917, Daisy, the wife Of &.
l.. Balnton, and daughter of Rev. r.
G. NJ, and Matte Eiland, passed from
her earthly home at Endee, n. NJ, to
her eternal home in Heaven. Mrs.
Blanton va 80 years of age, the
mother of four living children and
four who were waiting for her beyond
the pearly gates. She was a member
of and an earnest, energetic worker,
in the Baptist church, for more than
20 years, doing at all time what her
hands found to do to help her fellow
men, and advance the cause of Christ,
Besides the grief-stricken husband and
parents. and four dear little children,
she leaves to mourn her going away,
three brothers, two sisters, and a host
Of other relatives and friends, though
a stranger to most of the people of
Tucumcari having moved from Mum
day, Tc%as, to Endee. =. NJ. IN the
spring of 1917. Our people are ac-
quainted with sorrow and grief, 30 u
large number of those who could in
truth, sympathize with the sorrowing
loved ones, gathered on Sept. %, at
the Baptist church and followed the
remains to S%unnyside cemetery.
Look up dear friends and the light
Of the Fathers love shining through
your tears will make beautiful the
rainbow of His promise, that God, even
our own God, shall wipe all tears from
our eyes, remember the words so apt
fly used by Rev. Bridges; "She is not
dead, just gone, before, to the man
sion her Saviour has prepared for her,
the the scriptural anthem, so beauti-
fully sung by Mr.. Burnet at the funer-
al service, Eye hath not seen, Ear hath
not heard, neither hath it entered into
the heart Of man, the joys of God hath
prepared for those that love Him."
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1917-10-11

Last Sunday Mr.. Burnett sang most
beautifully, "The Lost Chord" Those
who heard him paid many compliments
TO his beautiful voice and the n
in which he sang. In the evening Miss
Mohr played two beautiful violin solos
These musical features are rare treats
for the people of Tucumcari Sunday
morning at II 100 o'clock Mrs. STAINS
bury will sing a solo. The subject of
the sermon "The Royal Banquet" The
sacrament of the Lords Supper will be
administered. The Session will meet
before the service. Those wishing to
unite with the church by letter or con-
fession Of faith will please meet the
session at this time. Evening song
and Gospel service at 1880; musical
features a large choir, violin duet and
violin solo, We want YOU to enjoy
these services. Pastor.

THE HABIT OF HAPPINESS

Habit forms such a large part Of
u lives, that it is very important
that we should form those habits which
will add the most to ourselves Of that
which will give the greatest benefit.
The most that We do is from force of
habit. Necessity may have had much
to do with forming a habit but when
once formed it becomes a controlling
force in the life.
From force of habit the musician
unconsciously strikes the right key on
the instrument. If a person can train
his hand to do his bidding it is pre-
posterous for one to say that he can
not so train his mind to think the kind
of thoughts he commands. Happiness
comes from within, from the heart.
To form a habit Of thinking pleasant
and kind thoughts produces a happy
life. Before there can be pure actions
there must be pure thoughts. II is
just as easy to think good thoughts as
evil, and much more profitable in the
end. Get the habit of happiness.

STATES BEST INSURANCE

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Oct. 9-"Pro-
hibition is the states best insurance
against poverty, disease and crime"
writes Merritt c. Mechem, Judge Of
the Seventh Judicial District Court.
The letter written at his home at So
zorro addressed to the dry headquar-
ters in this city was made public tl-
day.
The dry leaders assert that there
is a great disposition on the part Of
the district judges of the state to line
up strongly in favor Of the PROPOSE
ton for statewide prohibition. Every
letter so far received from district
judges is al emphatically dry letter.
1t is urged by the drys that if there
is anybody capable of authoritatively
speaking about the effect of the saloon
on crime, it surely is the district judges
before whom the criminal cases of the
state are tried.

In a letter to the dry headquarters,
made public today, Judge Medler says;

ton that the cost Of conducting the
other than salaries of officials,
will be decreased, if prohibition car-
ries, at least sixty six per cent"
