Mr. Will Offender died last
Saturday morning at the home
of his patents in Dallas. His
serious illness was noted in
these columns a few days ago.
In failing health for a year, be
sought the higher climate of
Colorado a few weeks ago in
the - hope that his lungs might
there find healing. These hopes
were baffled by a collapse which
followed bis arrival at Denver,
and about two weeks ago he was
brought back borne fatally ill,
Mr. Orrender was about 35
VPdrt nidi. iaii rtf Mr mm A
Mr*. C. K. Orrender. A wife
and one little daughter, 9 month*
old. survive him. He leaves i
besides bis parents, one brother,
Mr. Charles Orrender, now with
the W. T. Love Company, and
two sisters, Mrs. J. L. Vipper
man, and Mias Addie Orrender,
of Dallas. He wss buried at
Long Creek Baptist chnrcb Sun
day afternoon, after services in
tbe Dallas Baptist church and at
the grave conducted by Rev. W.
N.-Plunders, in which a prayer
was offered by Rev. P. C. Hick
son and a brief talk made by
Rev. J. L. Vipperman in obedi
ence to the dying request of his
brother-in-law. A lsirge gather*
ing of friends and acquaintances,
attested their love and respect
by attending the services.
The character of Mr. Or
render was of tbe finest, type.
Refined and gentle by astute
and tbe training of a Christian
borne, he was loved by all who
knew him. And those near and
dear ones who moura kit loss
most deeply do not mourn with
out the sympathy of a host of
Christian neighbors and friends.

"I like yonr King Edward,”
Rndyard Kipling makes one of
his American characters de
clare: "he’s so blamed British.”
We like our President, some of
us may say, wbo by no means
approve all his public perform
ances. because he’s so blamed
American. Perhaps, in either
case, tbe true statement would
bn because he is so very human.
Certainly the President's facility
for doing human things in a
human wav is one of tbe chief
sources of bis popularity. He
can sav with perfect truth that
nothing human is foreign to
him, whether be knosrs any
thing about it or not. His
present "swineine round Dm
circle” seems to promise even ■
greater extension of Iris popu
larity than any of ita predeces
sors. His "progress" through
Virginia seems to have bad the
effect of destroying any oppo
sition to him that lurked in the
Old Dominion; And he captured
North Carolina in bis thirty
minutes at Charlotte. In that
space of time he managed, to re
fer to the Mecklenburg declara
tion of independence, one if the
proudest of tbe memories of all
"tar basis.” But of course bis
chief triumph ns what he said
to the widow of Stonewall Jack*
son abont her husband and her
grandson, whom be has just ap
pointed to West Point, and his
insistence upon introducing hat
to Mrs. Rooaeveh. This might
have been the policy of a dema
gogic politician. The Presi
dent’s advantage is that In hit
case nobody imputes these
things to anything bat hnraaa
impulses. The bitter cry of the
Democratic politician in Texai
may well be echoed by the Dene
ocratic politicians of tba So-.th
orn States through which thi
President Is now pa tain*: " Yot
Kthat mao out of hare, 01
to won’t be a Democratic
vote left in the State."
