OSCAR ALLEN WITHDRAWS
FROM TREASURER'S RACE

To my friends This is to say that
have withdrawn from the race for
County Treasurer. In doing this |
wish to thank my many friends over
the county for their solicitations in
getting me to enter the race, and for
their intentions to support me.
However, the treasurer's office has
so little compensation, and too there
are some good men all of whom are
much older than myself, and men who
are worthy of the Office, and besides
my brother, j. E. (Elmel) Allen is
a candidate for Tax Assessor and |
feel that in justice to him that |
should do all | can in an honorably
and brotherly way to assist in his
election. Therefore cheerfully with
draw from the Treasurer's race.

METHODIST CENTENARY
LUNCHEON

An occasion of unusual interest was
the centenary luncheon given at the
Methodist Church Friday evening, May
10th at o'clock. The dining hall
was beautiful with its decorations OF
roses and potted plants. The lunch
con was served cafeteria style from
a long table made very attractive with
immaculate linens and decorations of
red roses and white candles. Those
invited were the fifty centenary solici-,
tors and in spite Of the storm the at
tendance was good. After the lun-
cheon and short song service the COM
mittees met to plan the work to be
done Sunday afternoon. Methodism
the world over is this year celebrating
it's one hundreth year Of missionary
endeavor and from the reports COM
ing in daily, we feel that the IS mil
lion dollars assigned to Southern
Methodism will be easily raised.

GREAT PICTURE BROUGHT
TO AMERICA

The Senior class Of Baylor Univer-
sity Waco, Texas, has brought and
will give to the University as memo
ral the lifesize picture. full length of
Robert Browning, painted by his son.
The picture which has just reached
Waco is splendid work of art and
was displayed in the Grosvenor gal
lery, London, just after the poets
death. 1t is a magnificent likeness
and critics have been unanimous in
saying it is the best work of the art
ist-who was very gifted and who
worked in the studio of Rodin.
Another portrait by Mr.. Barrett
Browning of his father is now in the
Ballot Library, Oxford, but is not con.
sidered as fine a work as the one to
be presented Baylor University at the
approaching Commencement.
The picture was secured through
DR.. A. j. Armstrong, the head of the
department of English at Baylor, and
although it was offered for $50 guineas
(S1250), it was secured for little less
than that amount.
1t is the purpose of the college to
allow one Of the rooms in the library
to be known as the Browning Above,
and it will be fitted to receive the pic
ture and the Browning Collection Of
Books, which is one Of the finest in
America, containing nearly complete
set of first editions Of Browning be-
sides hundreds of works Of criticism
and biography.
