Limb Honey
Everyone has heard of bee
trees, at least trees that are
hollow and furnish a com-
partment for bees to make
honey. We have witnessed
a new feat by a swarm of
bees at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. McConnell on
West Main street. Mr. Mc-
Connell has long been an
owner of bees and gathers
much of the natural sweet
each year. But back to the
new stunt: a swarm of bees
has determined themselves
to make honey on the limb
of a cedar tree in his yard.
Mr. McConnell took the
swarm down two or three
times and hived them, but
they were not content and
would return to the limb of
the tree. They are busy at
work and are now producing
honey on the limb.

grieved because of his going.
He was bom April 1, 1882,
in Arkansas, and was 64
years of age. At the age of
two years he moved with his
parents to Johnson County,
Texas, and resided there un-
til he was 16, when he moved
to Honey Grove. . He was en-
gaged is farming and was
most successful.
He was married on July 6,
1902, to Miss Eva Lela Par-
rish of the Lone Star com-
munity. They resided east
of Honey Grove until 1917
when they moved to the Al-
lens Chapel community. He
was a member of the Vine-
yard Grove Baptist church.
He is survived by his wife,
three children, Calvin Neely,
Bonham; Elmer Neely and

son should covet. We con-
gratulate eacH one that has
had such an honor bestowed
upon them. Friends, loved
ones, and strangers are vi-
tally interested in seeing
them continue to climb to
the greatest heights.
There are some facts how-
ever that we would do well
to consider at this point.
Let us remember that the
diploma may indicate certain
trends, but it is not a guar-
antee of success. Many
have gone down in miserable
failure sitting down clinging
steadfastly to their diplomas.
Success is the result of put-
ting into effect those same
qualities that made one eli-
gible to receive the diploma
in the first place.
It is a false impression to
believe that an education
equips a person in such a
manner that he will not have
to work. This is an illusion
that causes great disappoint-
ment when the time comes
to face realities. It needs to
be corrected. Instead of an
education qualifying one for
a life of ease it puts him in a
position to really work. It ?

the Signal-Citizen with a
comparative report of rain-
fall for the first five months
of 1945 and 1946. Everyone
has been complaining of the
great amount of rain, how-
ever, we had just about the
same r.mount last year, only
.08 of an inch difference.
And, too, it rained ten more
days last year in the same
period than this. Beiow is a

otherwise remained dor-
mant. In this process the
mind has been strengthened,
and hidden ability is devel-
oped. This is done under
the leadership of those ca-
pable of recognizing traits
and characteristics worthy
of development.
Consequently the student
becomes abl^ to recognize
his possibilities, and from
the time of .his graduation
should seek to expand those
qualities of his life that will
make him a good citizen.
This can be done through
taking further training, or
going into some type of work
for which he is particularly
suited.
As the graduate walks
proudly across the stage to
accept the honor Jthat is to
be bestowed upon him, then
turns to take his place in
life, what kind of a world
dqes he face? That question
can be answered briefly by
saying that it is one trying
to emerge from chaos and
calamity. It is a world that
deserves the dedication of all
our talents and resources for
the betterment of humanity.
The philosophy of every man
for himse?f cannot do this.
Selfishness has never built
anything constructive and
never will. Incidents of his-
tory prove this to be true.
Nations that have engaged
in such a practice went down
in shame and disgrace in the
end.

Bad Weather
For Spring
Revue Noted
A fair sized audience
braved the inclement weath-
er on Friday evening of last
week to attend the Spring
Revue of 1946, presented by
pupiis of Miss Opal Horton.
The show was given at the
auditorium and was spon-
sored by the local Lions
Club. Although some of the
members of the revue were
unable to reach Honey Grove
in account of rain, the pro-
gram as presented was very
much enjoyed.
