The County Council of Home Dem-
on stration dubs met Saturday after-
noon in the rooms of the Cha~mber of
commerce with the Bailey and Augie
clubs as hostesses. Two of the most
improtant matters which came up for
consideration were the reports of
Dallas fair winnings "and plans for a
Thangsgiving market to be held
November 19, 1932, in the chamber
of commerce rooms.
The report as to Dallas fair prizes
showed that with 41 winnings Fannin
county’s home demonstration clubs
stood at the head of the state list in
that respect.
The market is^ to display for sale
dressed chickens, canned goods, other
food products, rugs, quilts, etc., pre-
pared by the members of the home
demonstration clubs. Judging from
past exhibitions of their goods and
handiwork, this will be splendid.
The hostess clubs in keeping with
the season, had the rooms decorated
with Halloween colors of black and
orange, using crepe paper, pumpkins
yellow flowers, etc and serving tea
and Halloween cookies. Eighty mem-
bers were present.
SINGING CONVENTION

BARBER SHOP BURNED
Edward Henderson

died at Willington, Texas, October
21, was brought to Bonham, Saturday
on the 11:35 A. M. Texas & Pacific
trainand taken to the home of his
sister, Mrs. Andrew Barr. A short

L. Huffstutler, pastor of the First
Methodist church. Complete services
were held at the Methodist church in
Gober with burial at the Gober ceme-
tery.
Fire starting in the rear of the
building badly damaged the Cowan
barber shop early Monday morning.
The shop had just been moved from
the south side of the square to the re-
modeled building south of the State
Bank. Mr. Cowan worked at the
building until late the evening before
putting it in shape and is at a loss to
know how the fire originated. He
carried $2,000 insurance on the fix-
tures.
Bland Smith and Sim Smith who
own the building had no insurance on
it.
The night watchman heard an ex-
plosion preceding the fire and it is
.thought spontaneous combustion
started the fire as the place was
newly painted. All chairs windows,
mirrors and barber equipment were
ruined by the intense heat. Firemen
extinguished the blaze before it dam-
aged the upper story or spread to
other buildings.
