into the Great Beyond Friday Evening

good woman, Mrs. Shipman is sur
vived by her mother, two sisters and
two brothers, who live in Georgia,
her husband w. A. Shipman and
four children, Mrs. Marguerite Dis
mukes of Tyiertown, Miss, Misses

Shivers, 7. A. Rawls apf W. B.

All of this community was sadden
by the loss of this dear woman, and
hearts filled with sympathy go out
TO the grief stricken family In the
passing of such a noble wife and
devoted mother who WAS always, so
true, to every sacred duty in this
life it can be fittingly said that
There is no death The stars sc
down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled
They shine forevermore.
There is no death The dust we
tread
Shall change beneath the summer
showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rock disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they
bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death. The leaves may
fall,
The flowers may fade and pass
away
They only wait, through wintry
hours,
The coming of the May.

Masons to Celebrate
Navy Day

Washington, D. C.-Navy Day
and Roosevelt Day, October 27, viii
receive extensive recognition by Ma
Freemasonry being essentially
patriotic in spirit and purpose takes
advantage of these occasions to en-
phasize devotion to the flag and 10y
altv to the institutions of popular
sovereignty.
American Freemasonry will cele-
brate by paying tribute to the
memory of two famous Masons, John
Paul Jones and Theodore Roosevelt.
+ John Paul Jones is known as the
father of the American Navy and
his exploits during the Revolutionary
War won for him enduring fame.
He was born in Kirkbeau, Leith,
Scotland. July 6, l747, and died on
July 20, 1892.
He was the first officer to receive
commission in the America Co.
loniaI NAVY and was the first IN COM
maud Of vessel Of war, the first to
run up the American flag on an
American vessel and the first and
only naval officer named in the Act
Of the Continental Congress creating
the flag. He was the first to pro
nose and to receive a sulute to the
Sta1s AID Stripes from foreign ma
ton.
John Paul Jones was made a Ma
son in the Lodge of st. Bernard at
Kirkudbright, Scotland, in l71o and
later transferred his membership to
,he famous French lodge, Neuf Soeurs
in Paris of which Benjamin Franklin,
Houdon. Voltaire, Helvitius and other
famous men were members.
Theodore Roosevelt was raised a
Master Mason in Matinecook Lodge
No. SOC. Oyster Bay, New York, on
April "a, 1901.
Masonry made a deep and lasting
impression upon his mind and ire
ouently he took occasion to express
his appreciation of the Craft and It's
teachings.
At the sesquicentennial OF the lni'i-
ion of George Washington, held hy
the Grand Lodge OF Pennsylvania IN
Philadelphia on November ., 1907
Roosevelt gave utterance to the 1oi-
lowing sentences
"One of the things that attracted
me so greatly to Masonry that
hailed the chance of becoming Ma
son was that it really did act up te
what we, as a government, and as
people are pledged to,-of treating

What was termed to be one OF

proved to be one of the mildeSt
slaughters the Aggies have admins
trated to an eleven this season. The
Jusuit eleven Of New Orleans, came
here with a reputation of being the

ton in the Crescent City, but in the
game against the AgGies they looked

BY trouncing the Blue Jays to the
tune OF "a to 0 the Aggies have
rolled their number of victories up
to five and have scored 157 points,
while their own goal has not been
crossed. The Aggies though rolling
up a score of 81 points on the New
Orleans aggregation did rot by any
means waltz to the victory but really
earned the laurels which they duly
reserve by being wide awake to the
tense moments with every man
working with the other to the time
each play is completed and not
letting up until the whistle blew.
The Aggies rolled up twenty
points in the first half while they
held the Biue-Jays scoreless, scoring
seven points in the first period and
fourteen in the second, while the
Aggies were held scoreless IN the
third period, they managed to score

the Aggie lineup. While the Aggie line
held with such tremendous force the
backs were at it in great fashion
and with the necessary interference
they ran their score up with ease.
The real outstanding star Of the
games seems to be the conslstaht
on rushing left halfback, Johnson
who is turning out to be one OF the
fleetest of backs seen in action on
the A. II. S. Campus and With
his offensive work the Aggles have
made gains which has spelt victory

the Jesuits the fleeting halfbacK

not alone a star because there were
four others whose work was SHINING
