Ben Bean Dead
Officer Returns to Deport
Dr. E. H. B. Steele, who en
listed in the medical corps of the
army directly after the United
States declared war on Germany,
and who has been stationed at
Camp Logan for the past eight-
een months, has received his
discharge and returned to De-
port, where he will resume the
practice of his profession. Df.

survived by his mother, a broth
er and several sisters. Ben was
a good boy and a hard worker.
After the death of his father,
six years ago, much responsibil-
ity was thrown upon his shoul
ders, and he bore them like the
little man that he was.

The Resters '
Many of the Texas weekly p^i
pers "laid off” last week, the
printers, the editors and the
readers of each joining in a good
old rest. State Press indorses
and recommends this practice,
time honored and altogether de
sirable. An editor who edits or
printer who prints fifty two
weeks in every year loses some-
thing of the zest of life. If
State Press ever goes to the Leg-
islature he will introduce a mea-
sure forbidding anv printing of-
fice to turn a wheel during any
Christmas week.—Dallas News

she is survived by her husband,
mother and two brothers, Joe A.
and J. M. Grant. Mrs. Bell
was a member of the Methodist
church, and her former pastor,
Rev. C. L. Bounds, was called
from Cooper to conduct the fu-
neral, but was unable to reach
here on account of the condition
of the roads and the train ser-
vice. Many beautiful floral of-
ferings did not arrive until Sun
day morning, when they were
placed Upon the mound by loving

The bereaved relatives, especial
1.V the husband and children, have
the deep and abiding sympathy
of the entire community.
A Happy New Year to you and you

A Happy New Year from our hearts t<

A Happy New Year from America to Englai

A Happy New Year to the great, throbbinl

The holidays were quiet this
year in Deport. There was very
little intoxicants present, and we
missed the noisy discharge of
firearms. The big norther that
blew in following a heavy rain,
produced real hog killing weath-
er and many butchered them on
Christmas day. There were
family reunions and big dinners,
and taken as a whole, a very en-
joyable Christmas.
School Again at Work
The Year of 1918 Has Passed
The Deport school opened its
doors again Monday after having
been closed for three weeks on
account of another increase of
influenza cases. It is to be hoped
the malady has about run its
course in-tne Deport country.'
The lost time will be made up on
Saturdays and at the end of the
term.
E ARE now upon the threshold of a New
Y ▼ Year. But before we try to look into the
future, we wish to express to our friends and cus-
tomers, our appreciation for their patronage during
the year just gone. Our business shows a very
material gain over the year before. For this we
are truly thankful to every one who has in any way
contributed to that end.
i........
May all the joys of health, peace and prosperi-
%
ty come to every one of you this year of 1919.
