In this respect our city is ercellent, and it
is the constant aim of this institution to
keep pace with the people of the town, to
strive in every way to make our bank
known as a public spirited institution.
Of all things about our town of which we
may feel proud is the spirit of our citizens
—their faith in the future of the commun-

any enterprise initiated for purpose of im-

Wagons of Bob Southerland and
A. O. Albertson Visited •
by Thieves
u *.....
Elbert Littleton, B. L. and
Duff Holt were arrested Satur-
day by Constable Troy Grant
on the charge of stealing seed
cotton. The men had carried
210 pounds of seed cotton to the
Deport gin early Saturday
morning, and sold it. Mack
Read, the manager, became sus-
picious after the men had left,
and notified Constable Grant.
The men were arrested and
carried before Justice Terry.
They confessed their guilt, and
were fined $19.75 each. The
cotton they had stolen belonged
to Bob Southerland and A. O.
Albertson, about 100 pounds
having been taken from each
wagon in the field.
When arrested one of the
men still had the check in his
pocket that had been given by
Mr. Read for the cotton.
A second offense for the
theft of cotton carries with it
a penitentiary sentence.
Deport friends of the Rev. J.
E. Peaden, former Baptist pas-
tor, now residing at Rosalie, will
be interested to learn that his
son, Carroll Peaden, was ordain-
ed as a minister of the gospel
Wednesday at the First Bap-
tist church at Greenville.
He has the reputation of be-
ing a very able young preacher accidentally shot Tuesday of
having held successful revival
meetings during the summer at
Rosalie and Line Branch, near
Bogata, both of these churches
having called young Peaden as
pastor.
For the past year, he has
been a student in Burleson col-
lege at Greenville.
Many local famers are ship-
ping their cotton through the
Texas Cotton Co-operative As-
sociation, according to T. T.
Jeffus, local receiving agent,
and up until Thursday 688
bales had been handled. Grades
have been exceptionally good,
three-fourths of the cotton
handled being inch staple, and
good or strict middling.
Ninety per cent of the actual
value is^ advanced on this cot-
ton, which will be sold by the
association between now and
July 1. When it is sold, the
balance if any, will be sent to
the owners. If it does not de-
cline, or goes up there will be
several dollars due them. If it
goes down they will not be call-
ed upon to put up a margin.
One local farmer shipped 18
bales and was advanced $874
on them, and others, in propor-
tion. Membership in the local
asocation amounts to about 65.
Arrest Three Men 1
for Cotton Theft
last week at the Ashcraft home.
The accident occurred when a
supposedly empty revolver, up-
on which Egbert Barnett was
working was discharged. The
bullet went through a window
and struck the lad on the chin,
ploughing through his neck and
barely missing the jugular vein.
When fired the gun backfired, •
striking Barnett in the face and
inflicting a severe flesh wound.
Both were given immediate at-
tention and are recovering.

The eighteenth annual Red
River County Fair at Clarks-
ville closed Saturday night af-
ter a five-day run. For the
first time in the history of the
fair association no admission
fee was charged. Thousands
attended daily. Virtually every
section of the county was re-
presented in the exhibit section,
in which some of the best dis-
plays seen in years were featur-
ed. The cattle and horse divis-
ions of the live stock depart-
ment were said to be the larg-
est and best in the history of
the fair. •
Seven communities competed
in the community farm exhibit
division. Bogata was awarded
first place. Second position
went to Coleman Springs and
third place to Rosalie.
In the individual farm ex-
hibit section four displays were
provided. First place was award-
ed to O. B. Parchman of An-
nona. Frank Watkins of Ro-
salie, won second place.
One of the feature exhibits
was that of a 96 pound water-
melon grown by Luther DeBer-
ry of Bogata. The vine on
which this melon grew also pro-
duced another weighing 93
pounds.
mo-
ther became frantic in her dis-
tress. It was then that Sheriff
Walters gathered the family
into the old car and drove them
to the Protective Home to be
cared for until some adjust-
ment may be made.
An enormous pair of overalls,
on display in front of the De-
port Dry Goods Co. store is at-
tracting much attention. This
garment is a part of an adver-
tising scheme of a work, cloth-
ing manufacturer and sent to
the Deport store from the mak-
er. They are fourteen feet in
length and twelve feet around
at the waist. A report has it
that J. C. Barham, manager of
the store, intended to wear
them and really go to work, but
the rumor is entirely false.
. That the innocent often suf-
fer for the misdeeds of the
guilty was quite definitely derti-
onstrated Saturday morning in
Paris when Sheriff Bud Wal-
ters drove a ramshackle Ford
into the yard at the Childrens
Protective Home.
The owner of the car who
was languishing in the county
jail, is also the father of the
little brood of five tiny children
who with their young mother
were the occupants of the car.
Driving into town Saturday
morning from where. they had
been picking cotton this young
man found that he had been in-
dicted by the grand jury, and
unable to get bond be was plac-
ed in jail.
This left his family penniless
and homeless and hungry. The
mother bewildered, worn with
anxiety and weeping, wandered
about all day carrying in her
arms the youngest
brood, a
wailing.
As night came on this
Cotton was selling for 10 to
10’/2 cents in Deport Thursday
morning, with seed bringing $23
I per ton. Much of the cotton I
has been picked, but many
farmers are holding for better
prices or pooling their cotton
with the Co-operative Market-
ing Association. '
Gins are running at full cap-
acity at present, and if dry
weather . continues practically
all the cotton will be out in a
few weeks. Receipts at ,the
Deport cotton platform are
3185 bales and 3638 bales have
been ginned by the three local
gins. Ginning figures reported
cotton season^ unless Thursday morning are as fol-
lows: Deport Gin, 1107; Farm-
ers Gin 1837, and Home Gin,
694.
The State and National Con-
gress of Mothers and P. T. A.’s
urge co-operation with the
’chools in their observance of
Safety Week early in October,
and National Fire Prevention
Day Oct. 9. It is not selfish-
ness ■ that prompts the large
stock fire insurance companies
to. urge people to be careful
with fire—fewer fires will mean
reduction of human sacrifices
and insurance at a lower cost
to the people. Teaching of fire
prevention and observance of
certain rules in our schools in-
sure a lower rate which is the
town’s privilege, through the
faithfulness of our school fac-
ulty. Not only the patrons of
the school but the entire citi-
zenship of the community is
urged tb attend the Parent
Teachers Association’s next
meeting, Oct. 2, and 3:15 p. m.
at the school auditorium and
enjoy the following program
which will be given after a
short business session:
Song—America.

Teachers who have previous-
ly taught in the x Deport school
entertained new members of
the faculty at the Warren Tea-
gue Post home Thursday even-
ing of last week. Host and
hostesses were D. D. Stringer,
B. B. Hutson, Mrs. Curtis Phil-
lips, Misses Thelma Ladd, An-
nie Mae Donaghey and Frankie
Patterson. Honor guests were
Misses Lillian Baker, Rubye
Bourne, Lois Harvey and Rob-
ert Morgan. Fifty local citi-
zens were invited to meet the
teachers and extend a hearty
welcome.
It was arranged as a surprise
for them, Superintendent Strin-
ger calling for a faculty meet-
ing that evening. Responding
to this call, the new teachers
gathered at the school building,
but none of the old ones put in
an appearance, so they got into
the superintendent’s car to go
look for them. The drive end-
ed at the post home, where
lights were flashed on as they
entered, revealing a large num-
ber of people.

dered, stunts pulled, games
