I sc IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE f Mrs. M. A. E. Goforth, Who Departed This Life Aug. 5, 1904. Another fiower has been plucked 'om the garden of humanity and ansplanted in the Jand of bliss and vernal happiness, where the light of od's radiant countenance shines irever and no storms and winds ige; to be watched over and proicted by Him who is ever ready to sstow eternal blessings upon those horn He loved and shed His precious lood. In this death God has called henoerth one of His most precious gifts > this world?a pure, sweet, noble oman?one who was loved by all ho knew her, and many are the jarts that are wounded by her unmely demise. She was a devout nristian. a loving and devoted other and a kind and thoughtful ieud. Her life was filled with kind id noble acts, and during her everyly walk in life her footsteps were lided by the Star of Bethlehem. ? is indeed sad to part with one hom we loved so dear, but it is a veet consolation to know that our ss is her eternal gain. Having experienced just such a ss it is with a heart full of emotion iat we deeply sympathize with the >ar children and loved ones left bend to be guided and protected 'by ie immaculate Judge, whose wise >unsel and unerring decision is nlays right. Her heatt went out in deep sympaly to a motherless child, and oftimes k'nd word from her changed the >urse of a thoughtless wanderer. 1 an effort to express my grief and >rrow for the loss of such a true and ivoted friend words fail to respond id silence begs for thought. May the sorrowing children left ihind be guided in the footsteps of ;r teachings and then all will be united at the glorious reunion which to come in a brighter world. ie nights were blessed with quiet sleep, The days were tilled with happy cares, id then the skies seemed over bluo. and there was time for peace snd prayers. iw I stand and gazo with heavy heart, iVcross the area in louglug sore, > where dear mothers await their loved ones from the bright and welcopned door. A Devoted Friend. Boll Weevil In Union, Editor Union Tivks: If the old iloinon of Uiblical day could bo rc-uirct?l and peimiMed to vote in the comg Union County election, no doubt it h-? would iu his wisdom brush the ?11 ?... o f I-. / a nccyil iiUUi Ilia LLtllOl WILIl tllC BU" eipati?>n of reducing taxation, and save le old County from a shameful bankipt. We have heard of the b.)U weevil i the far off tields of Texas with all of 9 devastations which have been sj comete that immigration from that fertile >il is seemingly inevitable. Would the jople of this county believe that our runty government otlice has been inibited by a pair of these seemingly inimitable weevils who have deposited rgs indifferent sections of the county, om which the county pet3 are being atched. Are we going to act like exas, sit still and see the multiplicition I the most detrimental foe that civili/.t.er had to contend with, and lastly, hen t(x> late, call on the national govrnment for a remedy to exterminat the cevil that we so carelessly have i>erlitted to geneiate in our county governient olftce. Slow coutiscalion is the ?finition of our modern weevil. But ive them a few more years and they ill give us a duplication of desolations rat the people of Texas have already cperienced. A word to the \Vise is snf dent. A'l men ** h > work for the tunty are -i ?t considered |?ft3. IVnty ' these men earn every dollar they gft. lie real pet is a long tried snii>e who icepts the people's money from the )ll weevil without giving anv thing in iturn, only to whoop up the weevils on ection years, and who believe that the runty government office is a charitable stitution for ther benefit. Wipe the rll weevil from your ballot as Solomon ould do and let those long tried snipes > to work or emigrate to some other nd. After looking over several lartes booked against I. M. Moblev, 1 ill give to the people one nearest to bis une and one that bis neiutitmra mo f?. liliar with. On one occasion Beaty's ridge was in need of repairs. Mohley, 10 boll weevil county commissioner, as honored to let the job to the lowest dder. He was on the ground with his old standard specification, which read o lumber could be used on the job exspt first class heart fine from the p'ney oods. When the bidding was on, Mr. If in. Wilson asked Mr. Moblev would b not accept of white or post oak lum*r. Mr. Mobley replied that nothing it specification would be accepted. To le surprise of all who were present, [r. Mobley sawed and delivered oak luin?r for the job, and same was used on le bridge. Reference, Mr. Wm. Wilm and Mr. W. N. Brock and others. By changing specification after the jo was let lie weeviled a good sum of tl: people's money into aouiehody'a (xicke1 and from ail indications Mr. Mobley wa high up in the pull. When our publi roads were llrst worked by taxation, th county was able to contribute ten dollar and lifty cents per mile; reference, J. M Ilendersou and J. B. T. Scott, forme superintendent. Since that time mor miles have been added to taxation fc road purpose; reference I. M. Moblej During this time, no changes bavin been made in the laws and never no r< duction in appropriation for Unio county. The year the old county i only able to contribute four dollars at twenty five cents per mile. What h<< become of the money. Will Mr. Moble pay that the money has been dtolen b his negro overseer? If so, the peopl will understand Four dollars an twenty five cents per mile for our grau< thoroughfares and seven dollars pe mile for that little insiguificaut roai that leads down to Delta upon which i wagon is not seeu once a mouth lief eret.ee, Mr. Wm. Brock and Mr. P. C (. hilders |Vliat was Mobley's object ii contributing seveu dollars of the people' money to this little insignificant road It wes to deposit the infernal boll weevi egg that a county pet could be hatched But Mr. Alexander, the road overseer bting an honest man, turned the cat ou of the wallet. If this Mexican bol weevil has attempted to deposit his egj with other overseers, I truly hope the will piove honest men like Mr. Alex in der and place a feather in their cap.D.iesn't it seem to any fair-minde man that Mobley is consiitutionall unable to tote fair with the dear ol county. This being the case the peopl will either have to give up Mobley o i lie county and the sooner they detorm inn, the better it will be for all concern ed In writing up these charges I hav tried to be fair and square, giving refer ence in every instance. The press is a free to Mr. Mobley as it is to me. Wlv does he not come up to the press like i iniin and refute the charges? Why di< he not accept my cordial invitation fo an investigation? The people cai answer. No, he is depending on hi bushwhacking tactics aud his fabricatin, machiue, which would make old Ana nias ashamed of himself. He is assailin me from every quarter. For what I atn no candidate. Simply because h sees bis boll weevil laurels changing t Goshen Hill spiders. Mobley says that I am the lowes man in the world. I guess he forget that he himself yet lives Mobley say: that I have not heen to church iu twelv years. Would twelve oaiup meetings dhim any good. Mobley sajs that th mill people are the lowest jreople of till i world; refereuce, N. W. Hntchesou now.at Buffalo. Why does he go araon ; tKem. if they are so low. As I am no j in (he mud sliuging business, 1 will le I Mobley enjoy bis luxuries with his fabi eating machine, though ii woul seemingly 1? my desire to coin; terraeet his attack. My friends mv expect it, but it would take an Amphit ean light witli a double Aurora Boreali to liud his character. I am amy fo Mobley, sorry for any man who has bee so uufortunate, but he alone is resins ble. Yes, Mobley or his kind have sai that if I write another charge, they wi come down and take me out i ai pretty well hitched up and no man, c ! set of men who wear No. G hats can tal j me out.
