MR. W.W. FOWLER WRITES ON COBB COUNTY

To the Cleburne News, Heflin, Ala;
Dear Editor,

Will attempt to give you and your readers a few items from this place. Am
feeling more at home in the county now and find that I have some of the best
neighbors in the world, almost. The people in this county have not the time
for any little foolish things and are studying along progressive lines and of
course, that means they are studying for big things.

Will tell you something about the telephone system that we have here. We have
one of the best systems imaginable. Every subscriber buys a telephone and then
keeps line in repair or helps keep up line to switch board and that expense
never amounts to anything practically at all; I have access to something like
3,000 telephones here, over country, including two or three towns on R.R. and
we have good service all the time. And must say that Mr. D.L. McCleskey and
family make excellent operators and are courteous all the time. Can't say as
much for some other places. These telephones only cost us $1.30 per quarter.

I certainly enjoy Dr. Jno. P. Houston's letters, also other correspondents
from over the county, and trust they will keep up an interesting department.
We are having excellent Sunday Schools here and interest seems to be growing.

Prof. Worley of Marietta is teaching a singing class at this place now. I have
been attending and must say that he is a good teacher and is getting along
with class nicely. Trust this will get us an up to date choir here. With kind
regards for ye Editor and your readers, I remain a former Cleburnite, W.W.
Fowler

MRS. BURGESS DEAD

In the early pasrt of last Thursday night, Mrs. Burgess who had been sick so
long, quiety, easily and peacefully passed away from her home here surrounded
by the devoted husband, children and friends to her fathers home in the
skies. For a week she had been in a sleeping condition. How good in our
heavenly father to thus prepare the transit of his children from earth to
heaven. She has lived the life of a devoted wife and ever tender loving
mother. Well might we say here in the words of Bro. Buttram who conducted the
funeral services that "the children have lost their best friend." The
devoutness and love of Bro. Burgess and these children was manifest by staying
by her bedside through all her sickness until the good angel from the home
beyond came to take the weary tired spirit home to a deserved reward. They
were joined at home for funeral services by a host of friends, seeming all the
town showered their esteem of this good woman and their sympathy with the
family by moving slowly and quietly to the cemetery with the bereaved ones
where the body was gently laid to await the wakening in the morn of
resurrection while loving voices sang appropriate songs. When the mound was
finished, the friends covered it with flowers, thus once again expressing a
loving memory for sister Burgess and an abiding sympathy for the bereaved.
May our good father and husband, children, relations and friends to so live
here that at the gate afar, all may find an entrance into the city of god
which he holds in everlasting keeping for the faithful.

IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. J.A. EVANS

Margie Ethel, wife of J.A. Evans died March 23, 1913; was born at Merit,
Texas March 10, 1891, living there until 1908 then going with her mother to
Tucumcari, New Mexico where she made her home until March 23, 1911 when she
was married to J.A. Evans of Hugo, Okla., where they made their home until her
death. J.A. Evans is an old Cleburne county boy, having spent his entire life
in Ala. until 1910, going to Hugo, Oklahoma where he still resides. Mrs.
Evans was only sick 10 days having developed a very bad case of small pox.
She was conscious until the last moment. About ten minutes before she crossed
the river she called her husband, sisters and physician to her and told them
good bye. Her husband asked her if her heart was right. She was too weak to
speak but looked up and smiled and then passed from this world to a world
where there is no more pain or sickness. Mrs. Evans was converted at Merit,
Texas when she was 16 years old and joined the Baptist church and lived a
christian life as best she knew. Her sister from the family home reached Hugo
on Saturday before she died on Sunday. It is so hard to give up our loved
ones but one consolation, if we live right and die right we will meet again in
a better world.
