Married.
Eleven Children in Twelve Years, j
ting. The couple was in & hack to a negro
accompanied by the bride’s sis-
ter, Mrs. Curt Bell, and hus-
band. On account of desiring to
carry out her contract with the
mercantile store of 8. A. Cun-
ningham, the bride desired to
keep the marriage secret until
the 15th of August:
Miss Vera is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Temple of
Cunningham. Mr. Jeffus is a
Deport boy and has many friends
who join The Times in wishing
the happy couple long life and
much prosperity. They will
make their home in this city.

Ask Uncle Sam.
Deport Players Don't Gamble.
Ask Uncle Sam for a position
as a teacher of shorthand in one
of the government schools, and
you will find in the application
blanks he sends you, he states
that every teacher expecting a
place must bg able to write or
teach a Pitmanic system. The
government should be an unbias-
ed judge. About 85 per cent of
the court reporters of the Unit-
ed States write a Pitmatic sys-
tem. The Graham-Pitmanic ex-
perts say it is the best.
If you study shorthand you
should certainly get the best.
Do not listen, to hot air talk
about “Abreviated” “Shortcut”
“Simplified” systems. It will
take you no longer to learn Gra-
ham or Gregg; then you know
you have the best. Get the
course in the Paris Commercial
College, Paris, Texas, and you
know further that you have the
reputation of a school whose
graduates win in every trial be-
hind you. September would be
an excellent time to enroll.

Our ball boys experienced a
disappointment Wednesday at
the hands of the Deport ball
team. In a series of three games
one of them was to be played at
Deport. The Deport boys im-
ported some players, as did Bo-
gata, which is not unusual, but
when our boys arrived at Deport
that team refused to play. The
mpst charitable view our boys
take of this action is that a burnt
child dreads the tire, and the
child referred to was burned in a
previous game at the ratio of 18
to 1.—Bogata News
The facts in the case, as given
us by the managers of the two
teams, are that there was a mis-
understanding over who was to
receive the gate receipts for
Wednesday’s game. Bogata
wanted the winning team to take
them and Deport refused to
gamble. Deport offered to play
and charge no admission, there-
by having no gate receipts, and
Bogata refused to play. As to
the “imported” players, Bogata
used three of her home men and
the Deport team was made up
entirely of home men.

The Wronj Term.
The parson of a small church
in one of the back counties ten-1
derly announced that he had re-
ceived a call from another field. I
At the conclusion of the service I
the parson was Approached by
one of the deacons.
“I have been thinking about
the announcement you made par-
son,” said the decon. “Are they
offering you any more money in
that new field?”
"Oh, yes, brother,” was the
prompt rejoinder of the parson,
“three hundred dollars.”
Well, I don’t know as I blame
you, parson,” thoughtfully re-
turned the deacon, ‘‘but in mak-
ing the announcement you didn’t
use the right term. That isn’t a
‘call,’ it’s a ‘raise.’ ”—Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

Legend of the Kiss.
According to a legend the term
“kiss” owes its origin to the
manner in which kissing was dis-
covered. A beautiful Greek
shepherdess found a priceless
pearl and shared with a youth
whose name was Kisthenes the
secret of the fortune which
was to be her dowry. Brigands
invariably the sweetest temper-
robbed the girl of all her trinkets
ed and most affectionate men
and pickles sustain the home.”
Chicago, 111.—Thomas McNally
and Charles Ku rth, sentenced
for life to Joliet in 1893, have
been paroled under the new Illi-
nois law. They had never seen
an aeroplane or a movie or rid-
den in an automobile or on an
elevated. They went into a the-
atre, but came out in pop-eyed
amazement. “Beat it quick,”
said Thomas, “the chorus girls
are not wearing stockings in
here.”

but failed to find the pearl, be-
cause she kept it in her mouth.
When Kisthenes returned he
found the girl’s hands bound,
but she told him triumphantly
that the brigands had taken
nothing more than the trumpery
jewelery of a peasant girl. The
pearl without price remained.
She could not give it to him with
her hands, bnt held it between
her lips. In a moment of inspi-
ration he conceived the idea r
holding his hands behind him
and receiving the pearl in the
manner in which it was offered.
Whether or not he succeeded in
holding his hands behind him is
a detail overlooked by the his-
torian, but it is of record that
the pear fell in the grass un-
noticed. Like the hero and the
heroine of all wholesome stories,
they married and lived happily

At the present writing, says
an exchange, we have no desire
to hurl ourself into Abhram’s
bosom, but if we ever do, we
wouldn’t lean against a bouble-
barrel shot gun and pull the
trigger, as many do. Neither
would we chop our head off with
an amateur guillotine, eat a
square meal of rough on rats,
blow out the gas, drink concen-
trated lye, sit down on the lap of
a buzz-saw, smoke a cigarette, or
call a Kentuckian a liar or a poor
judge of whiskey. We would
simply get out an edition of our
paper in which we would strive
to the very best of our ability to
print the plain, square-toed truth
about people, as we understand^,
it, and then calmy await the ei
The Baptist Revival.
The revival meeting conduct
at the tabernacle by Rev. J.
Peaden of the Deport Baptist
Church, had been drawing good
crowds until the rain interfer-
ed. As soon as the weather
will permit the meeting will con-
tinue. W. W, White of Detroit, is
leading the singing and all the
churches of the town are co op-
erating. A cordial invitation is
extended to the public.
Instead of the time-worn offer
of a “premium” for the first bale
of cotton the Board of Trade and
Progressive Club of Paris will
buy, for fifteen cents per pound,
the bale of cotton grown in La-
mar County this summer which
is ginned, wrapped and brought
first to this city for sale. Twelve
cents per pound will be paid for
the second bale.
The bales must weigh not less
than 450 pounds each and the
bagging must not be cut. The
offer is only for Lamar County
grown cotton, and the price will
be paid in cash when the bgle is
unloaded at the commercial
clubs’ headquarters on Grand
enue.—Paris Review.
Later. — The first bale was'
brought to Paris Tuesday by
Bill Breeden of near Minter. It
was purchased by Oscar Du nay
gan for lfic per pound.
Detroit May Have Fair.
The Times learns that a move-
ment has been started at Detroit
looking to the organization of a
community fair. Those who are
interested state that the fair
will probably be held some time
during the coming month.—
