Frank 3otz, cor. INEZ, Texas, Jan. 21.—Mrs. Emma Traber, wife of John Traber, living about three miles above Inez, after an illness of about two months died at here home there Thursday morn ing, January 14. Mrs. Traber was mar ried to Mr. Traber in this community in year of 1883 and to this union eight children were born, seven sons and one daughter. Two of the boys died at an early age, leaving six surviving children. Mrs. Traber was a good wife and mother and a good church member, her faith being Ca tholic. At the time of her death she was in her fifty-seventh year. The funeral took place Friday morning, January 15, from her late home to the Bischoff cemetery, where her remains were laid to rest. Rev. Father Smyth Vaudry officiated at the house and at the grave. A large concourse of sorrowing friends followed the body to its last resting place. The Advo cate extends to the bereaved family its tenderest sympathy and hopes that time will heal the wound which is fresh in the hearts of the family. May she rest in peace! We would like to tell our farmers not to put all their hope in cotton this year. No one knows how long the war will last in Europe, and so long as free shipping is restricted there is not likely to be any increase in the price of cotton. The Misses Minnie and Idell Far rer made a trip to Victoria on a visit to relatives and friends recently. Jasper Koontz, James French and Joe Litterie went to Victoria Monday, E. T. Post and John Chamblies, of Victoria, spent Monday in Inez. Corn and feedstuffs are still being shipped into Inez and Telferner. It is a very bad idea and should be done away with this year. It can easily be done. Try it once. Mrs. S. Covington, after spending some time with her son, Dr. Coving ton, of Inez, returned to her home in Granger (Texas) Monday. J. E. Ryan, of Victoria, was in Inez one day last week on professional bus iness. H. C. Koontz went to Cuero recent ly on a business mission, and Ed Slot nick went to Victoria on a similar visit. We are indebted to Charles Hiller for a fine wall calendar. It is a beauty and no mistake. A promient citizen of Telferner told us that they are going to built an air ship or battleship there to be sent down to the high seas to stop the English from searching the ships take cotton to Europe. We are with them to the extent of a few million dollars, as that small sum is no ob ject to Inez or Telferner. They are on the right track and we hope they will succeed. Inez is still doing business at the same old stand. It is a little slow but manages to keep going. Cotton is the same as it was in our last report. My dear farmers, take a lesson from this and help yourself by planting plenty of feedstuff, includ ing a goodly amount of corn, and don't forget the family garden—it will help along with a few pigs in the pen for fall. John Trader and J. L. Raymond have renewed their subscriptions to the Advocate, and E. A. Beard, of Ellis county, is a new subscriber. Thanks. Who will be next. The print ers need some money once in a while. Wesley Griffith, of Camp Crook, 8. Dakota, who has been here on a visit to relatives for a while, left today for his home. His sister, Miss Stella Griffith, accompanied him. The young people of this place tendered them a farewell dance night before last. Ev erybody regrets to see Miss Stella leave here, but wish her all pleasure and sucess in her new home far away from the scenes of her childhood, Card of Thanks. We sincerely express our thanks to our friends and neighbors for their kindness during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother. We will always remember their kindness and sympathy. John Traber and Children.
