HEARTS AND THE HAN.
Mi. Edwin 0. Street, who is
connected with the New Dixie Ly
ceum Bureau, will deliver his lec
ture, “Hearts and the Man” at
the school auditorium, Friday
evening March 15, under the au
spices of the school management.
Mr. Street comes to us well rec
ommended and holds the distinc
tion of being the most successful
young man on the Southern lec
ture platform. His admirers
speak of him as a young man of
exceptional oratorical ability and
philosophic insight, posessing such
keen anylitical powers that he is
enabled to delve into the myster
ies of the mind, laying bare the
hidden secrets in all of their
beauty. So highly is he spoken
of by those who have heard him
that the management feels no
hesitancy in assuring an entertain
ment not only entertaining but at
the same time instructive.
This lecture has been engaged
for the purpose of securing funds
for seating the chapel. A deter
mined effort is being made to fur
nish the school auditorium with
seats and other conveniences and
it should receive the support of
the entire community. Encourage
the movement by your presence

The deceased was born in Mar

body of the deceased will be ship
ped to Judsonia today, Thursday,
and internment will take place this
afternoon at 3:0<) o’clock in the
Judsonia cemetery.
At all times, u uder all circum
stances he wal ted in the well
beaten path of r ighteonsness and
when fully conscious that he was
nearing the last c f earth, he ap
peared to be fully impressed with
the idea that at the end of time
eternity began, and that the bright
faith which sustained him during
those trying hours of suffering
would only grow brighter and
brighter as he journeyed toward
the Infinite, and the final gloom of
death be dispelled by the radiance
of God’s love. Could all liVe the
just and upright life W. W. Best
lived, and die in his trusting faith
death could no longer be called
“The King of Terrors” for he in
spired no ten-or there. The dy
ing man and sorrowing family
looked forward with the same eye
of faith to the brighter future
where this temporary separation
would end in an eternal reunion.
