LOCAL News

Mrs. R.P. Talley received a happy surprize when her brother, W.A. Porter, of 
Heflin, Ala., arrived unannounced. Capt. Porter had attended the Confederate 
Reunion at Houston and took advantage of this opportunity to visit his sister 
and the family of her daughter Mrs. J.C. Mitchell, whom he had not seen in 
several years.  Mr. Porter is one of two living brothers out of a family of 
ten, all of whom served in the Confederate Army in the War Between the 
States.  He speaks in warmest praise of the hospitality of Houston to the 
Confederate soldiers and thinks Temple a beautiful city. He will be his 
sister's guest for several weeks.

GOOD CITIZEN CALLED TO REST

In the death of Mr. B.T. Foster on the morning of October first, not only 
Helfin but Cleburne county gave up one of the very best christian gentleman 
and the church a faithful member, his companion and children a devoted husband 
and affectionate father.

Mr. Foster had been in declining health for several months and for many months 
was unable to leave his home.
It is the pleasure of the editor of The News to have intimately known this 
good man for more than 25 years,  who was familiarly known as "Tom" Foster. 
The the world is made better by his having lived in it. The entire community 
deeply and sincerely sympathizes with the family and other relatives in their 
hour of grief.  The funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. Roberts on 
Saturday morning at the Baptist church, after which the remains were laid to 
rest in the Heflin cemetery.
