Dickerson & Ramey sold the J* H.
Beckham farm, four miles south of
town, last Thursday to J. H. Meadows
of Ellis county. Mr. Meadows wil
get possession January 1st and will
move to the farm.
Dave Smith’s friends want him to
explain how he could make good on
the following ad. which he had in the
Evening News Wednesday: “I will
run an auto to the Reunion grounds.
Will leave the Courthouse every hour
and leave the grounds every half
hour.” In the language of the small
boy, that woufcd be “going some.”
Wednesday, August 2nd, a large
crowd gathered at the tabernacle at
the invitation of the (music rendered
by the Sulphur Springs band at 10:3Q.
At the close of the third piece of music
which was charming and soul uplift-
ing, the invocation was led by the
writer. Mr. Beale then led Captain
Tuck Sparks to the front of the plat-
form and introduced him in a most
becoming way as the speaker for the
hour.
Tuck was at his best and possessed
his usual good-natured smile. His ad-
dress was full of interest and highly
entertaining. He spoke of the condi-
tion of Texas in the days of yore, and
referred to the progress that has been
made during the years by our indus-
trious people. He represented the oc-
casion as an outing in the garden of
the Lord, and bade everyone to feel
free and to enjoy themselves. At the
close* of the speech the people cheered
and the band piayed “Dixie.” Old
men shouted and seemed to enjoy it.
No wonder! as it was a reminder of
other days, and less favorable ones.
Tuck is president of the Old Settlers’
Association and a very proper*one;
I would not object if he should be the
Governor of Te'Xas.
We then adjourned until 2:00 o’clock.
Ex-Sheriff Bud Smith took Prof.
Sam King and myself to his camp for
dinner, where we were welcomed by
his good wife and treated royally. We
showed our appreciation by partaking
liberally of the sumptuous and "well
prepared dinner.
The crowd reassembled at the ap-
pointed hour at the invitation of the
music.
Mr. Pierce was the first speaker.
His,s£feech was brief, but his words
were well selected.
He was followed by Mr. Waller,
w'ho made a splendid address. His
talk was interesting and well taken,
and added much to the enjoyment bf
the occasion. *
Rev. Galloway then addressed ^he
people. He expressed his apprecia-
tion to the oid settlers and old sol-
diers for the part they had played in
bringing about conditions that now
exist. He said^they were worthy of
appreciation and better treatment.
The woods were alive with moving
humanity in the afternoon and others
were still coming in, many from ad
joining counties. All kinds of accom
odations were at hand. All kinds o
refreshing cold drinks, and even a
barber shop. Everyone seemed to
forget their troubles if they had any
and we -had a great day, a real socia
uplift.
I decided that the present genera-
tion were upon higher ground, and in
their rapid progress if they did not
succeed in pulling us old fellows out
of the rut, the tongue would pop,.ant
they who are “sot in their ways” wil
be left behind.
Texas is getting better and that
means that the world is improving, as
Texas is the hub of the world; Hop-
kins county is in the middle of the
wheel, and so long as we have cranks
we’ll move her. H. G. YORK.
The joint social of the Home ^nd
Foreign Missionary Societies at the
church proved to be an enjoyable
meeting.
The program rendered in the church \
was exceptionally good. The songs
by Mesdames Sweeton and Jones and
Little Miss Florrie Cummings were
well rendered and enjoyed by an ap-
preciative audience.
The reading given by Miss Laura
Sherman and her little pupil, Miss
JeAvel Cambron, did credit to our home
talent.
Mrs. M. C. Marrs, the representative
of the Foreign Society, read a beauti-
ful paper on, “Our Work and Work-
ers in the Foreign Field;” followed
by Mesdames Bryan, Cowan and Cole-
manman, as representatives of the
Home Department.
At the close of the program the pres-
ident informed all present that Mes-
dames Tramel, Bryant, Beale and
Searls, the hostesses of the afternoon,
wished to see us on the lawn in front
of the church. The air was fine, the
grass was green, the hostesses graci-
ous nnd the company merry, so the
hour was spent in lively chatter while
we were being served to real home
baked cake and ice cream. >
We were glad to welcome son\e of
our former friends and helpers in the
church, Mrs. Weaver of Oklahoma,
Mrs. Ames of Houston, Mrs. Thomas of
Ennis, and Mrs. Walker of Rockwall.
It is sweet, this old acquaintanceship
and to welcome home those who have
wandered away. May they come often-
er and stay longer is the wish of the
two societies. CONTRIBUTED.
THE REUNION.
The Old "Settlers’ Reunion opened
Wednesday at Oak Park with many
people in attendance. Yesterday was
perhaps the biggest day in the history
of the Old Settlers’ Association. To-
day will also likely prove a record-
breaker in point of attendance.
J. ^A. Stevenson & Sons, managers
of Oak Park, announce that this will
be the last year the reunion will, be
held at Oak Park. We understand
that their contract for five years runs
out this year, but many people from
all parts of the county regard Oak
Park as the logical place for the re-
union, and inasmuch as it has been
ideally i.eted up for such an occasion,
we doubt is a more desirable place
can be found in the county and we
feel sure the executive committee will
insist that it be made the permanent
reunion grounds.

as there was so many men on shore, it
was impossible to get under way be-
fore next day. The next day at 3:,00
in the afternoon, all hands were called
to muster antTword passed, “all hands
up anchor.” In a few minutes time we
had passed PointLance wireless sta-
tion and light house, which are on the
point at the entrance of the channel,,
and soon we were at sea once more,,
after being at San Deigo three months
and fourteen days. We took our-
course north, 73 degrees west found
the sea fine and weather pleasant, but
as the ship splashed on north we ex-
perienced a change in temperature as
the salt breeze from the sea whirled
about the decks an<| superstructure,
and Splaying a merry tune coming
through the open ports. As we cruised
up the coast we passed two passenger
ships and quite a good many little,
fishing yachts. Wednesday morning
found us shifting the steering to
vent a collision with floating logs, a
large raft of red wood logs had bro
away from some tug boat that had
them in tow. Wednesday evenings
at 5:20 we passed the diff House out
our star board and entered the Golden
Gate into S^n Francisco bay. We did
not drop anchor in the bay, as we of-
ten do before going into the navjr
yard, -but went on north, passing
through Raccoon Straits north of An-
gel Island, and at 8:25 dropped anchor
at Mare Island, right at the mouth of"
the Sacramento River. On the follow-
ing Tuesday we came to Frisco, moor-
ed ship alongside Pier 25 and discharg-
ed all meats we had on board to be
placed in cold storage for safe keep-
ing until the Glacier goes in dry dock
and gets necessary repairs. She will
perhaps be in dry dock for one month,
and probably lofager, according to the
repairs done. At present writing we
are at anchor in Frisco Bay south of
the Ferry Way. The U. - S. Prome-
theus and a Mexican gun boat are near
