Not only his family and rela tives, but the whole of Hood county mourned when it was known last Thursday morning that Simeon P. Snider was dead. There was not in the county a man who seemed promised a long er life. In fact, he was the very picture of health and his intense suffering of five days made very little change in his physical ap pearance. As stated last week, he was stricken on Saturday be fore with what the physicians call “bolvulus,” and to remove the trouble a surgical operation was performed, after which he seemed to grow better, but within about twelve hours inflamation set up and he died in a short time. His remains were entered in the ceme tery at Cresson, a large number of friends being present, Eld. R. Clark delivering a most touching address, Mr. Snider was of a modest, un assuming disposition, and his true worth was appreciated only by those who knew him well. As a citizen and a public officer he was the soul of honor, ever courteous and considerate of the feelings of others. He was a good business man and left his business affairs in good shape Simon P. Snider was born March 23, 1861, in Ellis county, near where the town of Midlothian now stands, his father, Simon Snider, having settled there in the early 50's. About 16 years ago he was married to Miss Lissie Kel tley, who was born and raised in the same neighborhood. The fruits of their marriage were five children, all living. In 1887 he moved to Parker county, just across the line from Hood, and the next year settled on his Ruck ers creek farm, where he lived un til he was appointed sheriff, more than a year ago. Early in life he joined the Christian church, of which he lived a consistent mem ber. He was also an honored member of the Keights of Pythias Literary.

Paneer, » T ©, Mantis.com, Bice Kew. A. P. Gordon's is the place to buy your dry goods. Obituary. Died, Nov. 23, 1898, at his home in Granbury, Texas. Jake T. Wright. Deceased was born at Stoedton, Texas, and was the youngest son of Jack Wright, who was former ly sheriff of Hood county. The severe illness to which deceased succumbed lasted seven months, most of which time he was con fined to his bed. It was my privilege to visit his bedside daily during his illness, and I can truthfully say he bore the suffer ing and disease with the patience and fortitude born of the true Christian spirit he possessed. He was married in 1800 to Miss Mollie Sellars, and has been a member of the Methodist church since 1891. Mr. Wright was a peaceful and substantial man, one who loved the quietude and rest fulness of home. He was quiet and easy in his manners, retired in his habits, modest in his pre tentions, courteous in his deport ment to everybody, and was severely averse to all manner of pedantry, ostentation and display. Our dear brother died perfectly rational, and said shortly before his death that he was willing to suffer on if others would be be nefited through his suffering. He will be greatly missed, but our loss will be his gain. Light after darkness; enin after loss: Strength after weakness: crown after cross: Sweet after bitter; hope after tears: Hiome after wandering: praise after tears Sheaves after sowing: enn after rain: Light after mystery; peace after pain; Joy after sorrow; calm after binat; Rest after weariness—eweet reat at last Near after distant; gleam after gloom; Love after loneliness; life after tomb; After long agony; rapture of biils— Right was the pathway leading to thie A FRIEND. We have heard of a little inci dent so far above the ordinary as to deserve special mention and commendation. A young lady had contracted to teach a certain school and her lover came upon the scene, urging immediate mar riage. She was perfectly willing to be married at once, but had given her word to teach that school and would not violate the contract. However, she told her intended that if he could secure the consent of the trustees to cancel the contract, the wedding could take place. Of course he lost no time in interviewing the trustees, pleading his cause with them so earnestly as to secure the release of his bride and the wed ding was the result. Of course it was a Granbury girl, and a good many of our readers know of the circumstances. All honor to the woman who holds her busines contract of sufficient binding force as to delay even her wedding day Such a woman will not only make a faithful wife, but a business partner whose good judgment may always be relied upon.
