ANNOUNCEiTENT.
To the Democrats of Wood
ruff County : Again I solicit
your support as a candidate for
County Treasurer.
Again I thank you sincerely for
past favors, and as my heart dic
tates may I say, without the least
intention to reflect on any of my
fellow Democrats, that I especially
thank all those who so cordially
supported me in the last primary.
It’s only thus, a “fellow” feels
more grateful to “the fellow” who
helped him iu this time of need,
than t.o “the fellow” who helped
“the other fellow,” however
worthy “the other fellow” may be,
but I challenge any who helped
the “other fellow” to show that as
Treasurer, I have ever failed to
give him a fair square deal, prompt

I can not compel any one who

it far more a clearieal office than
heretofore, and to cut out and re
move from one’s aspiration to fill
it, such influences as desire to
“control for profit,” the county’s

sectional feelings shall enter into
the coming campaign and that only
the best interests of the whole
people shall be the arbiter. With
your verdict at the polls I will be

IN MEnORJAM
Died: At her home in Ennis,
Texas, Sunday evening, at 3:00
o’clock, October, 27, 1907, Mrs. A.
G. Chilton, aged 36 years.
All the care and love that skilled
physicians and an anxious house
hold could devise and apply for
her comfort and assistance were
brought into play, but the flat of
Him who rules our incomings and
outgoings had been issued and af
ter a brief struggle, despite the
prayers and entreaties of all who
knew and loved her, their appeals
were overruled and before the
beautiful evening of Oct. 27, was
kissed goodbye by the sun, the
sufferer’s spirit took its flight to
that home the Christian believes is
the fulfillment of the life ever
lasting.
Let us, if possible, gather up
the elements of the life of the de
parted one and weave of them a
picture for the walls of memory.
The book of life was opened and a
new name was written therein by
the hand of love. Soon would the
unfolding beauties of spring time
have charmed her coming. Today
the eternal springtime with ever
lasting glories belougs to our sis
ter. Her life was a rare jewel,
her spirit as gold refiued in the
fire, ready for heaven. These
flowers are emblems of our love,
but Hod hath bidden her welcome
to that mansion which He himself
has prepared, where are the songs
of the redeemed.
She ran the journey of her life
in thirty-six years. It is a path
marked with deeds of kindness
and cheer. Flowers not thorns,
sunshine not shadow, did she scat
ter everywhere. With these she
was lavish. Truth was the in
spiration of her life and by kind
ness she exemplified its great
worth. Was not her life full of
God-like-ness?
And there was reason for this.
When the bloom of childhood was
blooming into the blush of refined
womanhood she had sought the
pearl of great price and made it
chief among the jewels of her
youthful hopes. The intervening
years have been full of consistent
plan and wise action. This was
the fountain of the maturity of
her character. For upon the white
canvass of her life she drew no
uncertain lines which needed to be
erased. And with the hand of a
master she delicately spread the
colors of life and made them blend
with promise. Therefore we
mourn, but not without hope.
Through this gloom there comes
back a bright beam of sunshine
which turns our tears to jewels of
promise. Through the mists
which gather we hear the tumult
and the roar as of Niagara, but
her God hath set the bow of his
promise. He leaves us not alone
in the presence of the unknown.
For the Sabbaths of earth she
now enjoys the never ending Sab
bath of heaven. She waits your
coming and watches near the gate.
And remember that morning is
not for off when the love of Christ
shall bid thee enter in and to share
with her unending unalloyed joy.
Mrs. Chilton, nee Miss Mattie
Montgomery, was born at Brown: -
ville, Tenn., Aug., 23, 1871. She
came to McCrory with her people
when a little girl. Here she play
ed as a child, and developed into
beautiful girlhood. She later
moved to Wynne, in the adjoining
county on the east, where she was
married March, 22, 1905, to Mr A.
G. Chilton. They immediately
left for their home in Texas where
they have spent their brief but
happy married life together. She
was a devoted member of the
Methodist church and leaves a
husband, Mr. A. G. Chilton, a
half sister, Mrs. Carl Jenkins, of

Brownsville, Tenn., and a nephew, j
Master Earl Montgomery, of For- j
rest City to mourn her death. Her
remains reached this city Wednes
day and were enterred that morn
ing in the Odd Fellows’ cemetery
where they now rest beside those
of her beloved people, who have
preceeded her to the grave.
The last services were held at
the Waverly hotel in this city Wed
nesday morning, Rev. H. T. Raney
officiating. Songs were touchingly
rendered by a corpse of friends
who had known and loved her while
a resident among them. Beauti
ful in life, beautiful in death, but
far more beautiful in the glorious
resurrection mourn.
The floral offering surpassed in
profusion and beauty anything
ever seen here before. Not only
her casket but her grave was pall
ed with beautiful flowers by friends
of her home town and of this city.
On a card appended could appro
priately have been placed these
words: “These flowers, so typhi
cal of the life of her we mourn,
mutely speak the pathos of a pait
ing word, and are placed upon
this casket and grave by friends
who loved the sweet sleeper. On
these petals are tears for the part
ing, and hopes for the meeting
beyond the gates.” Flowers seem
to be the best emblem we have to
express our love, for we wreathe
them around the cradle, the mar
riage altar and the tomb. Thus
would we leave her, and in mem
ory keep her, as sweetly reposing
among the beautiful and fragrant
flowers.

proposition; that it will
bring business to your

Wm. MOORMAN ANNOUNCES.
Our present Circuit Clerk, Wm.
Moorman in the proper column,
this week, announces for re-elec
tion to the office wich he now oc
cupies.
The business-like manner in
which Mr. Moorman has handled
the circuit clerk’s office and the
ever courteous treatment and
prompt attention given his people
will cause him to win out in the
end when the election rolls around.
He is making the race on his past
record and is gaining friends every
day who will line up in his sup
port when the time comes.
We ask a consideration of his
claims at the hands of the De
mocracy of the county.
