Mrs. r. E. Y. Pollard and family,
Wolfe City, Texas.
Dear friends: Swords are indeed
weak conveyance of sympathy, but
we must do our best to let you know
how we feel for you in this hour
of your bereavement.
How much We would like to come
to you in person, but Mr.. Weston
is sick in bed.
You have our prayers. To tell
you not to grieve for one to you
so dear would seem inhuman, but
we do call your remembrances to
the fact that the Lord haa been good
and kind in lending TO you this
friend who has been father, husband
and friend. With the poet may be
said;
His hand with earthly work are
done,
His feet are done with rowing;
We bring him now to thee and
ask,
The loved to take the loving"
One more star to light your path
to heaven has been placed in your
sky. Lean on the arm of the Christ
and all will yet be well.
Your friends,
S. W. and w. B. Weston.

Mrs. T. f. Y. Pollard and Children,
Wolfe City, Texas.
Dear friends: 1t was with regret
that we received the sad news of the
death of your husband and father,
Mr.. D. P. Pollard. We realize that
you have sustained a great loss in
his death, but as it is written, The
Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken
away, blessed be the name of the
Lord" We are in deepest sympathy
with you all in your bereavement,
and pray that the lord may aid you
in bearing this great burden. The
citizens of Fannin County, white and
colored have sustained an irreparable
loss in the death of Mr.. Pollard. He
was a pioneer of Afro-American in
dustry, thrift and economy demon
strating the intrinsic value of the
colored man as an asset to any COM
muniLy. His counsel and advice will be
sensibly missed among the citizenry
of Fannin county and adjourning
counties. He was man whose eX-
ample should be an incentive to
young men, who may enjoy superior
advantage, in beginning life from
the depths of poverty to the heights
of substantial citizenship. With
loving sympathy.

D. P. POLLARD, WEALTHY
NEGRO FARMER PASSES AWAY

Mr.. D. P. Pollard was born in the
state Of Louisiana about the year,
1855 on the Sth day of March. Came
to Texas in boyhood where he spent
his entire life. Was married Aug.
5th, 1886 to which wedlock there
were born six girls and one boy of
whom five girls and the boy sur
vive. H. was successful business
man and made comfortable provis-
ion for his family. Was especially
interested in the educational welfare
of his children, giving to each adj
vantage which were happily lmproV-
ed. He joined the Mt, Zion Bap-
fist church about twenty-ninc years
ago and maintained his faith in that
doctrine until his death. The first
marriage was broken by death about
eighteen years ago and for five years
he filled the place of both father and
mother and the children learned to
rely upon him for everything.
On June l, 1904 he again entered
in wedlock, marrying Miss T. +.
Young with whom he has lived until
his dismise, His death came almost
unexpected which was a great shock
not only to his family but to the
community and his many friends
both white and colored.
Until the last moment he tried to
console his family by telling them
that he would be alright in few
days. However, God has disposed
otherwise and the end came without
a struggle. He seemed to have only
closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
And at 1915, Thursday morning,
Jan. 10th his spirit babe farewell
to earth.

seems to me in his death l have sus-
tanned a personal loss, like the fami-
ly and other dear relatives. l can
hardly realize that | am to see him
no more on this mundane shore and
enjoy his sweet communion. My grief
and sorrow are too deep to be eX-
pressed by mere woreds. This noble
man in many respects stood alone
in a class by himself He was of a
unique character and l doubt very
much that his life will ever be seen
again in this present generation. He
was a few years past go but not
an old man and he ranked among
the wealthiest men of Fannin Coun-
ty regardless of race. He owned
400 acres of farming land besides
other real estate. He also owned
plenty of the finest live stock Of
every description and numerous 9th
er valuable assets. Just before his
death he had recently erected
most beautiful mansion for the COM
fort and happiness of his dear low
ing wife and children whom he had
and ever so devotedly cared and
served through life He was espec-
tally devoted and interested in the
educational welfore of his child
rem and gave to each Of them edu-
cational advantages which were hap
PLY sought and improved by them.
Dennis Pollard was worth pos
sible between $150,000,00 and $780,,
10000 at his death. His death came
almost unexpected which was a great
oh IN fa lu I'M
to the community and his friends at
large, especially as the doctors had
dismissed his case and he apparently
seemed to be doing so well and even
told his family that he would be al
right in a few days, but this was
not to be.
All that skill and loving care and
attention could bestow was given
to relieve his sufferings and pre-
serve his noble life. His devoted
wife, children and others who loved
him were ceaseless in attendance
and care but his work on earth had
been finished. He met the fate that
must come to us all soon or late with
a bravery and resignation inspired
by faith on the morning of Jan. 10th
at 12:15, the exalted and gentle srir-
il of Dennis Pollard took its tri-
umphant flight from its frail linement
of clay to enter that region of eter
nal bliss, where sickness, sorrow.
pain and death are felt and feared
no more.
sleep on dear Pollard" | with
a dear loving host of friends hope
by the grace of God to meet you
again in a fairer cline than this into
those regions of unmitigated joy and
happiness and where parting is no
more. Sleep on dear friend Pollard,
farewell.

LIES race has been well run
Heavens crown has been well
Won"

 Previous witnesses have testified that the Ida county grand jury, whica investigated the pardon, had voted in- Gictments against Rathbun's father and brother, and his attorney, George Clark. but that these were not return ed when Rathbun agreed to set aside the pardon and go to prison for life for criminal assault
 Kindig maintained the indictments were of 10 value until they were actu- ally returned in court, and further de- clared he did not believe the evidence sufficient to convict persons named, and asserted it was common practice to grant immunity to some person in securing the conviction of another
 When Representative Clark of Lynn eauaty asked Kindig whether he be- lieved a wrong had been done young Rathbun was permitted to go to the penitentisry for life while his attorney was allowed to go free, the witness replied:
 'I know he had attacked this girl in a most outrageous manner; knew he attacked several other young girls who were ashamed to appear in court and tell their story. knew he was guilty of larceny and that he belonged in the penitentiary and that's where we put him."

AMERICAN SIMPLIFYING PRODUCES ONE-HALF
 OF WORLDS SILVER

BOSTON, April For number of years the American Smelling & Refining company has ranked as the largest single factor in silver produc- tion. Silver mining was an important a large producer on its own account, but handles at it's plants a very large quantity of ore for other interests.
 By reason of the worldwide short age of silver and the high prices, American Smelling has shown large revenue from it's own silver produc- tion. Silver mining was a nimportant revenue producer for the company be- fore the disturbances started in Mex ico, but with conditions there becom- ing more settled, and with American Smelling & Refining Company's pants in that country increasing operations. the current year should show a much larger production of silver in Mexico than in 1918
 The American smelling plants last year turned out 72,572 5O6 ounces of silver, compared with 69,S41 ,061 ounces in 1916.
 According to a preliminary estimate of the federal reserve board the total silver production of the United States and Mexico last year was 118,7OO.OOO ounces. The 1918 production of 72,- 572.OOO ounces by American Smelling, therefore figures out 61 per cent of the total production of the United States and Mexico last year.
 In 1917 the silver production of the United States and Mexico was placed at 102, ,954, ,00O ounces American Smelt- ing that year turned out 69,S41 900 ounces. or 6S per cent of the total In 1916 American Smelling eontribu- ted "A per. cent of the total production of both the United States and Mex ico, and in 1915, trifle more than 6S per cent
 Mexico has always been an import Tt factor in the company's own sil- yer production On pre- war silver prices S5.OOO.OO0 was only a fair aver age return from Mexican activities The annual report for 1918 has the fcllowing to say regarding conditions in Mexico:
 With fully restored economic and political conditions in Mexico, the mines owned by the company. we be- lieve, will produce fully 2,5OO,OOO tons of ore per annum.
 ''The smeIters of the company in Mexico are located at Chihuahua, Monterey. Aguascalientes, Matehula and Velardena. All of these are now operating except the last. and they are of sufficient capacity to smelt the rroduct of our own mines, except copper ores at Chihuahua, together with large additional tonnage under contract.
 There are certainly many reasons at the present time for feeling encour- aged with respect to political condi- ticns in Mexico
