Grand Jury Reconvenes and Takes
Final Adjournment.
, The Grand Jury reconvened Mon-
day morning after a recess from
April 30th. and took final adjourn-
ment Tuesday afternoon. Thirty-five
bills of indictment were returned, di-
vided into the following classifica-
tions of crime: Operating pool hall 2;
child desertion 1; driving while in-
toxicated 12; forgery ( 4; theft of
chickens 7; receiving and concealing
stolen property 2; burglary 2; theft
over $50.00. 4; failing to stop and
render aid after accident, 1.
At the sitting of the Grand Jury at
ie opening of court in April, forty
ills of indictment were returned.
came ‘ Bro. Porter” who has charge
of all the mail that goes out or
comes in over the railroads to 'the
Federal Postoffice in McKinney. He
was toting a basket full of the finest,
fattest Irish potatoes and onions one
ever sees. Our weak and weary feel-
ing vanished as the mist before the
sun. For Bro. Porter had provided us
with one more good dinner. Of course
we inquired as to where he got them.
And being a truthful (?) member of
the P. O. B-, he said Jim Thomas
had gone off to San Angelo and that
he (Bro. Porter) had raided Jim’s
garden. Now there’s Jeff Smith and
Dock Hill and Ernest Wilson, all good
gardeners. Dick Faulkner raises cats,
so he is not iu it. Gault Simpson
fishes and Pearl Skelton is weather
pilot, Hugh Kirkpatrick is too busy
So we have it run down to Jim’s
garden.
Bro. Porter is the best gardener we
know of. Potatoes and onions just
naturally cry for him to come get
them.
Fine bunch of good friends down
at the Post Office. Looking for a let-
ter from Postmaster Walter B. Wil-
son soon—marked “postage due."

Stick Them in Jail
The .grand jury indicted 12 men for
driving while drunk and the officers
have arrested five others this week
for the same offense.
Now isn’t that a SHAME—that
men will fill their hides full of liquor
and go out on the highway to en-
danger the public? We know nothing
as to the guilt of the parties indicted,
or those later arrested. If they qj’e
innocent, then let them go. But if
they are guilty, they ought to be
put up for awhile and prohibited
from driving on the highways. THE
PUBLIC MUST BE PROTECTED,
and it is UP to our officers to do it.
ARREST THESE LIQUOR DRINK-
ING DRIVERS and give them the
LIMIT The public DEMANDS it.
YOUR wife, daughter or son may
be the NEXT VICTIMS of one of
these drunk drivers. THINK this
matter over.
We do not know (personally) any
of the parties arrested or indicted.
Hence have no ill’ will towards them.
Blit we are in favor of backing up
our city and county officers in the
strict enforcement of this law.

Knows What He
is There For
Henry Barlow, of McKinney is
having one good time at Cleveland,
If there’s anything Henry enjoys
more than breeding and selling fine
Shorthorns and Hampshire sheep, it is
attending a republican convention.
He is a delegate from Texas, and
knows ' what he went up there for.
He is like Web Flannagin, of old
“What are we here for anyway?” Is
that it. Henry? Well we democrats
are glad to see you have a. good time.
You are not to be blamed. But no
one you can name can heat F. D. But
listen, Henry, If you wallop us, you
mustn’t be too hard on us for warn

W, E. Parks, 76,
Found Dead
(Continued on Page 5).
We wish to thank our kind friends
for the many helping deeds and sooth-
ing words of friendship during the
suffering and passing away of our
dear daughter and sister, Esther
Hogge.
Wm. HOGGE AND FAMILY.
W. E. Parks, aged 76, was found
dead in his room at a local boarding
house on East Davis Street Monday
morning. An inquest was held by
Justice of the Peace Erwin C; Craus,
who declared that the old man died
of natural causes.
Hundreds of McKinney people re-
call Jim feeble ‘old man. who sold ap-
ples, chewing gum and candy on
downtown streets. He called nearly
every day here at the Examiner of-
fice and rarely ever left without a
sale to someone* of the. force, who re-
spected him and admired his deter-
mination to try to make an honest
living by work.
He Visited the office: of Mr. Craus
Saturday afternoon declaring that he
felt badly. He had a heart attack but
seemingly recovered, and walked
home. ~
He was a kindly, energetic, honest
old gentleman. He originally resided
at Wylie;, about thirty years ago, but
had no relatives in this county that
we know of.
A niece resides in Dallas and a
step son in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
It is said that he fell about a week
ago and had not been well since.
The body was prepared for burial
at the Harris Funeral Home.
Burial Wednesday.
The body of the old man was con-
veyed to Wylie yesterday (Wednes-
day) afternoon and interred beside
the grave of his wife. A brief ser-
vice by a minister at Wylie was held
at the graveside.
Only the undertakers of the Harris
Funeral hbme and Mrs. J. E. Wilson
went down from McKinney. A few
lovely flowers were sent in from
home gardens by sympathizing
friends. It was a sad and lonely fu-
neral for a good old man, who had
nothing of this world’s goods, but
took exactly as much on his journey
to that “land beyond the river” as
will the richest financier or the most
wildly applauded dictator of a na-
tion, when their time comes to an-
swer the last call.
His niece from Dallas attended the
funeral. Had no other relatives.

New Candidate
Commissioner Race
District No. 2
By reference to the Examiner’s an-
nouncement column where live can-
didates have their names, it will be'
noted that E. b. (Elmer) Douglas is
a candidate for Commissioner District
No. 2.
Mr. Douglas is a new man in the
race—but not a new citizen of the
district by any means. He lives in
the Culleoka community, and is a na-
tive of Collin county. He was born in
the Lavon section near 40 years ago,
but has lived practically ail his life
in the Culleoka community, where he
is engaged in farming. He owns his
farm and has made a success of his
private financial affairs and knows
how to attend to business in a busi-
ness way. He is well qualified for the
position he seeks, so his friends as-
sure US} and he seem to have quite
a bunch of them. He has never before
asked for office, but lias helped others
land these good positions. He wants
you to vote for him if you think him
qualified. He promises close attention
to the work if you elect him. He
understands the duties of a Commis-
sioner, in so far as anyone not in
personal touch with the work can
possibly be. He understands road
work, and promises a fair deal to
everybody in his district. He earnest-
ly solicits your vote. Give him your
consideration when you go to vote.
He will endeavor to see every man
and woman voter before the Democra-
tic Primary Election in July.
we appreciate Mr. Douglas placing
his name in our announcement
column.

Judge Merritt Busy
Judge E. W. Merritt is just about
one of the busiest men in the city
these days. In addition to his exten-
sive law practice the Judge is Chair-
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Collin County. And it is
just one thing after another for him
to do during a campaign. The man-
agement of the party’s affairs, print-
ing of tickets, and general oversight
is a big job. But it comes as natural
for Judge Merritt as falling off a log
to most of its. For he was born and
bred a democrat, and has lived in a
democratic1 atmosphere all his life.
He loves politics and loves to see the
democrats win. He is fair, conserva-
tive but a true blue democrat. In
selecting him unanimously for Execu-
tive Committee Chairman the party
has done well. Every candidate will
receive honest, fair treatment.
Yes, the Judge is some busy these
days.

On Way Centennial
TEXARKANA, Texas. June 10 —
The private car in which Gov. James
V. Allred, Senator Morris Sheppard
and other Texas officials are traveling
was attached to the Roosevelt special
train here .Wednesday night.
Before the arrival of the special
train bearing President Roosevelt
and high administration officials into
Texas, Allred stepped across the
State line into Arkansas “to let
Walter Woodul be Governor and not
know it.”
Senator Sheppard joined the official
party here.
The program for dedicating the old
Collin McKinney home and the com-
pletion of Highway 75 through Collin
County was all that one could ask in
the way of appropriateness and gen-
uine heart interest and joy. Everyone
present seemed to be wholeheartedly
interested. The program had been
jcarefully prepared by painstaking
workers for the public wel
crowd was large, and repre
there being people present
sections to pay homage
pioneer who lived' in the
house in the days long pas

ings of his fine character,
and indefatigable energy
terest in posterity. What wou
do if it were not for such
old men. who in their younger
used their minds, hearts and stre
for the welfare of future generations
instead of “me and my wife and; our
son, John, and his wife and no more.”
Yes the dedication was a success
and the gathering later at Walker
Park, a few hundred yards east of the
site, was a most happy one, and ap-
preciative of the many fine talks by
the speakers.
The highly-successful event mark-
ed McKinney’s and Collin County’s
contribution to the Centennial cele-
bration—a completed concrete high-
way, extending from the Grayson
Countv to the Dallas County line, and
the old McKinney home, the city’s
historic shrine for its own citizens as
well as Centennial visitors.

Landon to Visit Dallas
CLEVELAND, June 10.—There was
jubilation among Texas Republicans
Wednesday on the arrival of Herbert
Hoover. ,tlie only Republican ever to
carry Texas for the presidency. The
Texans were up early and joined
California in welcoming the ex-Presi-
deiit to the convention city. Hoover
went directly to his home State head-
quarters, California, and Texas was
second in line to greet him.
Lashing the Administration which
succeeded him at the ’White House,
Herbert Hoover tonight stirred this
Landon-tinted Republican National
Convention into thunderous enthu-
siasm by charging the New Deal with
“European tactics.”
Landon Wins.
Even as the former President call-
ed upon the cheering delegates to
conduct a “holy crusade for liberty,’’
word swept the convention that the
bulk of. the two biggest blocs of dele-
gate votes—New York’s and Pennsyl-
vania—had fallen to Governor Alf M.
Landon of Kansas. The Landon peo-
ple said it was all over.

oil man and all round booster for his
home town of Van Aistyne, was in
McKinney Friday as one of the main
' speakers at the dedication of the
Collin McKinney old home and cele-
bration of the opening of Hi-Way 75-
He called down at the Examiner office
to rake up old acquaintance and
get his political morals polished up.
That’s what Scott should always do.
For we think a heap of him, even if
we do think he boosts the wrong man
sometimes. He is one of the finest
citizens of; South Grayson. Has made
a success of his law practice and’ his
paper. A reward for energy, ambition
and honest labor. Come again. Bro.

Interesting Story About
Collin McKinney Home
The dedication of the old Collin
McKinney home last Friday after-
noon was an occasion of special in-
terest to Mrs. Betty Vardaman, 86
years old, who resides at 1315 North
Coleman Street.
Mrs. Vardaman was one of the
most interested spectators present
and told of hew she stayed all night
in this old home when Collin McKin-
ney resided in it at its original site
in North Collin.
Mrs. Vardaman is a native of Ken-
tucky. She declared tha* she was
coming to Texas with her parents, m
1853. when she was three years old.
There were seventy-two in the. party
coming to this State. She remembers
that she and her parents and their im-
mediate family stay.-d all night in the
Collin McKinney home, Mr. McKin-
ney being a cousin of her father,
Crit Rifce.
Collin McKinney was then 8S years
old.
Mrs. Vardaman has resided i Col-
lin county ever since that time, liv-
ing at Anna for many years. But has
been living in McKinney for some
time. . ■ „ ,
She is a woman of fine intellect
and one can hardly realize that she is
nearing the 90-year-mark. Mrs Var-
daman can remember things with the
greatest of ease, including names,
dates and facts. This Centennial will
therefore be doubly enjoyable to her
as she has lived in those decades
when the Southwest was built.
We hope she gets to attend the
Dallas Centennial. . ,
