BRYAN MEMORIAL
UNIVERSITY TO OPEN
DAYTON, Tcnn., Jan. 22.—In
:hs same building where John T.
Scopes taught his biology class
ihe theory of evolution in viola
tion of Tennessee law and brought
o 21 nhe famous anti-evolution trial,
the Boy an Memorial University
will open for its first term next
September with a faculty, each
member of which will have con
firmed his belief that the Bible
js the inspired word of God and
is infallibly true.
A new building is to be erected
immediately for the Central High
school here, and the board of ed
ucation of Rhea county has voted
unanimously to let the present two
S'jory brick building to the Bryan
Memorial University association
until the completion of the $250,
000 administration building which
is now going up on the eighty
acre campus of the university.
The central high school building
is on a lot adjoining the campus.
According to F. E. Robinson,
president of the association which
raising $5,000,000 to build
and endow this Christian urnver
ty there will be no let-up in the
construct ion of the administration
building and it will be completed
j'uist as rapidly as possible from
subscriptions already secured from
friends and admirers of William

versity will be named about May
1. Mr. Robinson says, and the fac
ulty chosen soon afterwards.

Victim Pneumonia
Funeral Held At Holly Springs
Freewill Church Sunday After
noon; Deceased Will Be Greatly
Missed In Glendale Community.
KENLY, 'Route 2, Jan. 23.—-On
Saturday morning, January 18,. at
eight o’clock, Mrs. Sallie WelLons
Boyette wife of P. A. Boyette,
was claimed by death. Mrs. Boy
f*.t© was confined to her bed only
a few' days with pneumonia.
Before her marriage she was
Miss Sallie Weilons, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Weilons of
Princeton. In December 1012, she
was united in marriaige to Paul
A. Boyette, and to this union were
bom four children: Pauline, age
16; Mina Gray, age 14; A. W.,
age 9; and Bobby Thomas, age
eight months. She was a faithful
wife and mother and will not only
be missed in the home hut in the
community at large.
The deceased was a loyal mem
ber of Holly Springs Freewill
Baptist church for several years,
and the funeral was held at this
church on Sunday afternoon. Rev.
S. H. Styron conducted the serv
ice assisted by her pastor, Rev.
W. M. Ferrell, and Rev. J. H.
Worley. The music was rendered
by a special quartette: W. T. Da
vis, If. Pittman, Fred Fitzgerald,
and J. 0. Hinton.
The active pallbearers were E.
T. Boyette, 0. L. Boyette, J. J.
Boyette, Joe L. Boyette, brothers
in-law of the deceased; Herman
Weilons, Clarence Weilons, Tur
ner Weilons, and 0- D. Hinnant,
cousins of the deceased.
Honorary pallbearers included
D. T. Godwin, P. Godwin, J. F.
Weilons, Jimmie Boyette, J. W.

Godwin, P. Hinnant, M. Johnson,
Walter Bailey, T. E. Weilons, R.
L. Moore, W. G. Holland, F. A.
White, G. T. Soott and C. A.
Fitzgerald.
Evidence of the wide circle of
friends of the deceased were the
beautiful floral designs which were
borne by the lady members of
the Glendale faculty and members
of the senior class, of which the
oldest daughter of the deceased is
a member.
“God touched him with His fin
ger and he slept,” .the poet wrote.
So with this life—'“God touched
heT with His finger and she slept,”
but not until a beautiful life was
lived, a noble example of fidelity
to truth and faith were given.
And now that she sleeps, memory
takes up the harp of life, and
smiting the strings, finds that her
virtues melt into music. So it
ever is, when a life is nobly and
divinely lived.
