THE LATE THOS. "A. SANDERS,
Tribute Paid by Friend TO Man Who
Was Called from Labor.

Again God has seen fit to reach
down among us and pluck, this time
Il full-bl0wn Hover.
On the 2ith day Of May, at s
o'clock. while the birds were chirp-
ing gnily with the freshness Of the
morning. when the flowers and plants
had Just raised their heads to drink
in the warmncss Of the sun: when
all nature seemed to be It's fresh
est, The soul OF T. 4. Sanders scared
away. as it were. on the wings Of the
morning.
Mr. Sanders arose with his usual
health. harncSScd his horse, !ocured
his plow and made his way to the
field. where II was his intention to
| 90 Il good days work Ills son, Clay
ton, passing on to Il nearby field,
saw that he had stopped and was
rubbing his breast, but. thinking it
only a m0mcntary pain. did not stop.
n short while afterwards. happening
to glance in the direction Of where
his father was working. he saw that
the elder man had fallen. fastening
to his side he quickly raised him,
but to no avail. While notifying the
other members of the family, who
hastened to his aid. he himself tried
every means to arouse his father All
attempts were useless. The elder man
had already answered the call. A
physician pronounced the cause OF
his sudden death to be rheumatism
Of the heart.
Mr.. Sanders was z years Of age,
having only passed his birthday a
few days before the date of his !
death. Funeral services we're held in !
the home on the following day Revs. |
Thompson and LYDIA conducted the |
services. After the services at the
home the body was followed TO the
last resting place in Return ceme-
terry by many friends, where the re-
mains were laid to rest beneath the
largest display Of flowers the writer
has ever seen.
Mr.. Sanders leaves a wife, three
Sisters. six sons, eleven grand-chil-
dren and three great-grand-childrc
besides a host of friends, to mourn
his death. Two Of his grandchildren
were unable to be present at the
Harley Sanders, now
serving Uncle Sam in Germany, The
other, Oeland Sanders, serving in the
navy.
Yes, father and husband has
been called to his reward: a place
will be forever vacant around the
familiar form will
lie missed at morning, noon and
night. Never again will he sneak
words OF kindness and consolation to
us when the burdens of this world
seem too heavy for us to bear. He
has answered the summons and is
now enjoying sweet rest with his Sa-
viour and loved ones gone before.
Not only will he be missed in the
family circle, but in the church and
community at large. TO know him
was to love him. There are few who
possess so pleasing a personality and

EQUIPMENT ARRIVES FOR
OIL REFINERY AT TOYAH

Toyah. Texas, July 24-Toyah Is
to have q refinery. It viii be a small
one. but large enough to handle the
immediate production OF the wells
now completed in the shallow field.
Machinery has arrived for the plant

Panhandle Electric Light and Power
company, Of this city. Il viii be set
up as rapidly as possible and IL is
hoped the assembled plant will be
ready TO receive its first consignment
OF crude oil in a few days.
Mr.. Knight conceived the idea OF
erecting a small plant in which the
product OF the wells OF the shallow
belt could be prepared for market,
shortly after he arrived in Toyah last
winter. He sent out scores Of sam
pies OF the oil to laboratories and re-
fineries all over the country in order
to get a line on its properties so that
he might have all available knowl-
edge regarding It to the end that his
proposed plant might be suited to the
needs OF the oil. He also conducted
many experiments on his own &C
count The net result Of his investi-
cations was that he placed an order
for the vats, stills, coils and other
parts needed for a complete refinery
with which he viii treat the raw
''Toyah Lube" and make II ready for
the market
