The funeral of IL J. McDonald,
was attended Sunday, May 4th, at
Kb, John A. M. E. church y Rev.
W. A. Younger, and Wr. D. Miller,
assisted by the following ministers,
Rev. J, W. Hawkins, Ileal, iiumbolt,

grjms Mo. 2iJ.
Where aa the Almighty baa seen
fit in bis wise providence to take
from our midst Bro. H. J. McDonald,
May 8, 1918. We find how vain it
is to gild the grief with words.
From the winderous tree of life, the
buds and blossoms fall, with rip
pened fruit and in the common bed
of earth patriots and babes sleep
sldo by side. He had not passed
along life's highway, the atone that
marks the highest point, but being
wearied for a moment he laid down
by the wayside using his burdens
for his pillow, fell into that dream
less sleep that kisses his eye lids
still while yet In love with the world
he passed into silent and pathetic
dust and alter all midst the sun
niest and happiest hour of all the
voyage while eager winds kissing
every sail to dash . against the un
seen rock.
, He was a worshipper of of liberty
and sided with the weak and un
fortunate upheld Christianity and set
the example for men who work in
bis foot steps would live a noble
life and for every one he did some
loving service would add a blossom
to his humble grave tonight, he
would sleep beneath a wilderness of
flowers.
In the death of Brother H J. Mo-!
Donald, Harmony Sanctuary' No. 269
has lost one of its Odest members
whom at all times was willing and
ready at all times to discharge every
duty assigned him. We will miss
hltn in our home meetings. We will
miss him In our annnal meetings
when ho has always stood and fought
for right. Justice and peace, we, the
member Of Harmony Sanctuary No.
269, hope In the great conclave above
where Christ will be the great Su
preme Sheperd to meet him there.
We, too, like Bro. McDonald must
some day quit , the walks of man.
We can only say Thy will be done.
Heavenly Father, all nations praise
Thee with one accord. We, Thy
children are thankful for the mani
fold manifestations of thy love and
commend the spirit of our lamented
deceased to Thy sacred care hoping
that In the morning of the resurrec
tion he shall :o ne forth a child of
the king. '
Be it Resolved, that a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes and a copy be sent to the
sorrowing: rclnti'i';a.
Respectfully submitted:

tion No. 8.
Mexia, Texas, May 4, 1919.
Whereas It has pleased Almighty
God to take from our presence, bro
ther H. Jasper McDonald, May 3,
1919. This brave and tender man In
every storm of life was oak and rock
but In sunshine was love and flower,
and every life no matter if its every
moment he Jeweled with love and
Joy will at Its close become a tragedy
as sad and as dark and as deep as
can be woven of the mystery of
death. Life Is a narrow vale be
cween the cold and bar-- - peaks of
two ctbrnltles. He addea the sum
of human Joy and we cry aloud and
the on'y answer Is the echo of a
wailing cry and from the voiceless
lips of the tin-replying dead there
comes no wc d but in tho night of
death hope sees a Btar and listening
love can hear the rustle of a wing.
He who uleeps here. We, the mem
bers of St. Johns A. M. E. church
do submit these resolutions and be
it further Resolved that a cory of
these be sent to the family and re
latives and a copy to the Dallas
Express for publication.

RESOLUTIONS.
These resolutions oorae out of the
great respect and high regard which
the pastor. Rev. P. R, Humber, mem
bers aud the citizens of Calvert have
for Dr. A. A. McDonald.
Pastor P. R. Humber and members
come to you In person to share your
tears, sorrows and despondency over
the untimely demise ot a gallant hero,
who fought and fell, struggled and
rose, battlod and triumphed, labored
and achieved, contended and . advanc
ed, mourned and rejoiced, sacrificed
and prayed, until the cause for which
he was destined to glorify plnohed
Its fabrics to earthly grandeur, pilgrim
aged the mires of life until having ob
tained heavenly bliss leaves in the
sands of time footprints that the co
roslve storms of lite cannot even make
dim. ,
Whereas, Sixty-five years ago an
angel robed in spotless white came
down Jn obedience to God, touched
the earth quickened into life a little
spirit Twas but a psychical phenom
ena, a supreme attribute, whose
growth and activities would charac
terize the relationship between man
and God. Would fashion, construct
and materialize organisms to the
glory of God and welfare of mankind
that would extend on down to the
latest posterity and benlflcently fruc
tify the ages to come with a progeny
so cultured, refined and ' useful that
the influence of his life, ever active
and retroactive, would). go on doing
good eternally, m
Whereas, It is the divine way to
call from labor to rest, from victory
to reward, and
Whereas, In his children he leaves
to the world characters so produc
tive In moral, mental and material
wealth, 1.- e., the school, the church
and the science of medicine; and
Whereas, These Institutions are
the great thoroughfares by which men
are made to know and leve God.
We resolve that Bro. McDonald
muat be classed with the benefactors
of the age.
He loved God and worked right
eousness. He lifted as he climbed.
Ho conquered as he fell. Seeing the
fruits of bis life we know him. We
Judge him. Our thoughts play truant
aud we catch a glimpse of his celes
tial reward, 1. e., A robe of whiteness,
a staff of vtt'iry, a crown ot right
eousness. A lite thus featured make'us come
to glory in his victory as we mourn
with you In his last earth, -
Therefor, in our mutual bereave
ment out of respect to the honored
living we do most heartily commend
the achievements ot his life, while we
bow in submission to the will of God
in calling him to eternal life. Now
be it
Resolved, . That we share very sor
row of t'aie relative! and extend to
them our deepest sympathy ano that
we stand ready to welcome then to
the cross and we pray that they vlald
not to temptation of lifd as 'they fight
the bsitles of truth In the ranks ct the
blood bought free.
We command them to follow fji the
path that he cm trodden, thou when
their tmo comes to loin the Itrmmer-
able caravan that they, like he, will
net go as a slave ncourged to bis dun
geon, sustained ry a well-spent life
and an unfaltering faith lu God, will
wind the drape ry of their dying couch
about them an' lay down to pleasant
dreams.

Black Oilers Lose Fust Game In
North Texas Ross Pitching In
Great Form, Weakens In
Fifth Hector Stars With

Jupiter Pluvlus dealt a trumpless
hand to Dallas baseball fans Sunday
by sending a' heavy downpour of rain
To the casual observer the rain soak
ed diamond at. Gardner Park had an
appearance of an ideal spot for fish
ing and yacht racing. However, ap
petites or local bugs were keenly
sharpened and primed for the affair,
hundreds having stored In their old
beans the outcome of the mix-up
which was primed and 'cocked for a
bitter argument
Rain preventing Sunday's game the
two gladiators hooked up Monday in
a very nifty article of the Nation's
pastlmlng and apparently for four
Innings the old game was destined to
be a pitching duel between Ross and
Bell, each being backed up by bril
liant support Rector playing left
field for Dallas was the particular
bright star of the evening, getting a
single and two doubles out of three
trips to the plate and e many as
many runs to his credit The visitors
drew first blood in round one. Curtis
drew a walk and was forced at sec
ond by Bailey, Williams tripled to
left center and scoring Bailey for the
first run. Brockett grounded to Rlch
ardson and Williams was caught at
the plate by Richardson's quick re
lay and Johnson hugged Story's din
ky infield pop-up for the final out.
Dallas made a futile effort In even
ing up matters in' last , half of first
inning. Sloan grounded to Ross, Rich
ardson singled over second and goes
to second on Story's bobble of John
son's grounder. Richardson was nabb
ed at second by .Bailey and Kenyon
grounded to Ross for final out.
It was a pitchers'' battle at this
point on and 'was a case of three up
and three down, hits being as scarce
as hen teeth until the last half of
fifth, when .Dallas overcame a one
run lead.
Round five: Rector first up smashes
the apple for two cushions, Andrew's
flies to Boyklns, Bell hit to Williams,
who threw to Story to catch Bell
who was dashing for third;. Story
tagged Bell, according to the Beau
mont bunch and a few others, but
Umpire Taylor's decision was that
the runner was safe for the fielder
falling to tag runner. .The decision
met serious opposition by the visitors.
Catcher Hunter walking off the field,
after much wrangling play was re
sumed and Bell was awarded the bag.
Bell on first and nobody out; Boss
gives Sloan a free trip to catch Rich
ardson and choking the bases; Rich
ardson up, doubles to right scoring
Rector snd Belt Richardson ; was
thrown out at second by Ross and
Johnson fanned the breeze at three
thus ending a fatal round for Beau
mont. The' homellngs ease another
marker in the last of sixth. Elder
got a life on Story's error, Rector un
corked a Texas Leaguer over second
and Andrews got a life on another
bobble by Story, Bell forced Elder at
home plate, bases are loaded and
Sloan .singles to center scoring BelL
Richardson grounded to Bailey, John
son out to Williams. Again the Giants
with a more vicious assault bombard
Ross' offerings and taking advantage
of the poor support in the latter
stage of the game, Dallas' lucky sev
enth: Kenyon slaps a corking liner
for which Lofton grabs and misses
a mile, thus Kenyon getting credit
for a two-ply swat Spearmon hit one
too hard for Bailey to handle, the
ball bounded far tfbove his head and
when the ball was recovered' Kenyon
had scored and Spearmon was, resting
comfortably at first, getting second
on Hunter's muff. Elder walks, Rec
tor poles another double scoring
Spearmon and Flder, Andrews hit
a high fly to Snow Bah who relieved
Lofton In left and Snow Ball muffed,
Rector scoring on the error. Bell
flies to Williams, SI' an out Rous to
Curtis. Richardson flies to Boykin
for final out - -
The Oilers ' scored again in the
eighth thus ending the scoring: Lof
ton singled to right Ross cracked a
safe blow through short, Lofton goln
to second, Curtis lives on Johnson's
error, filling the baks, Bailey hit to

AN UMPIRE'S DECISION.
The decision causing a great rousp'
us out at Gardner Park is an every
day occurrence in baseball both in
minor and major league circles.
There are decisions rendered by um
pires of various leagues of the coun
try by men who are doing the same
thing that Mr. Taylor is doing every
day and there are times that their
decisions- are so rank, causing man-.
agers and players to voice such stren
uous objections as to be banlshedT
from parks and. of times fight An?
umpire can see a play more plainly
than an onlooker In the grand stand
or bleachers and every time a ball -

Our fans must learn the new art of
pitching and cutting 'corners. The

Taylor Is liberal to bothi sides allke

DIAMOND FLASHES.
Ross of Beaumont Oilers, was nev
er In better trim than he was is th
first five Innings of Sunday's game.
His flinging, was of high class.
The Black Oilers are a hustllagr
set and any, club who beats themt
got to get up and "git"
Bob Bailey showed flashes of his
old time pep occasionally in Mon
day's game. Every one knows that
Bailey Is a smart . little fielder snd
Is always dangerous with the stick
on the paths or In the field. .
To our regret Bill Jones has gone
to Shreveport and will cast his lot
with the Smart Set Too bad.
Robert ' Scott , better known as
"Bow Legs," is now cavorting in the
outfield for St. Louis Giants and won
a home with St. Louis fans with
home run with the bases chugged
and turning defeat Into victory.
The Giants have signed a . new
catcher, a fast collegian, Prof. Bat
tles by name and a school teacher,
who expects to renort at the end of
his school term. He halls from Ark
ansas. 1
New Orleans Red Sox will enter
the local haunts next month for at
series with tho Gollaths.
The Giants open at Houston May
25, and Beaumont June 1, returning
to the local pasture June 15 to hook
up with Oklahoma City.
How Is this bird Rector, boys.
Don't all speak at once; can't he
smack the old pill.' Out of three
trips to the plate three runs and
three hits, one single and two dou
bles; good day's work, ehl . .
Richardson's lamps are g-adually
getting in trim, the old veteran pos
sesses the punch when a knockout
blow Is needed. o
Jrockm'an maUe a sweet stab of
Sloan's long fly to right last half
of the third with a running catch.
