DEPORT, TEXAS.
At a meeting ot the Permanent
Road Commissioners ot Lamar
and Delta counties at Paris last
week to decide upon a crossing
of North Sulphur, and where
permanent road from both ooun
ties should connect, no action
was taken. 'The Delta commis-
sioners had already selected the
crossing at Lake Creek and let
some contracts, whila most of
the Lamar county officials favor
the Glory bridge route. If
they do not get together neither
will receive State aid, and the
benefits of a through highway
will be lost. To go the Lake
Creek route Lamar County
would be compelled to build over
three miles of bottom road and
cross two creeks, while Delta
County would have to do almost
the same thing should it meet
the Lamar County road at Glory.

The Lamar County Baptists
in their efforts to raise $160,000,
which is their part of the $75,000-
000 of Southern Baptists, will
conduct an all day service at
practically every church in the
county. These meetings will be
in charge of local pastors, the
county organizer and county mis-
sionary. Different phases of the
work will be discussed, begin-
ning at 10 o’clock in the morning.
At many places dinner will be
served on the ground, followed
by an afternoon and evening
session. Following are the places
and dates for meeting in the De
port country:
Deport, Monday, Oct. 6.
Mt. Pleasant, Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Can’t Tell About Them

Like all independent School dis-
tbe state, Detroit is
irt on funds to conduct a nine
month’s School.' At a recent
meeting of the property owners
a vote was taken to decide If ren-
dition .figures should be raised
in order to supply a nine month’s
free school term, and the propo-
sition was voted dowc by 88 to
22. Detroit should reverse these
if she wants to stay in
al procession. \
If Deport had electricity,
water and sewerage she would
retain as citizens many of the
boys who have grown up here
and left because of a lack of
them. Some of these days a
sufficient number of these pro-
gressive young fellows will have
our corporation charter changed
from “villages” to "towns”, vote
the necessary bonds and install
the conveniences. May the day
be not far distant.
west of Deport Tuesday evening,
of last week, Henry Green re-
ceived injuries from which he
died Thursday night, and an-
other young man named Chand-
ler was severely injured. The
injured and two other men were
on the hand car. The occupants
of the motor car were not hurt.
Not At All Scarce
The guest sat down, but rose
hurriedly with an expression of
alarm on his face.
"I am afraid, madam,” he said
I have sat down in the wrong
chair.”
"It’s only Willie’s pigeon eggs,”
replied the lady pleasantly. "Do
not mind them Mr. Jones. He
has plenty more of them.”
$2.00 and upon being asked what
it was for stated it was an old
debt. We had forgotten about
it, but upon referring to an Old
ledger found that it was con-
tracted five years ago. At that
time he was ^sowing his wild
oats,” carousing witli the boys
and probably rolling dice and
engaging in a few games of
poker. He has since married,
spends his evenings with his
family, and is one of the most
industrious, thrifty, law-abiding
citizens in the community. We
had rather make predictions con-
cerning Texas weather than to
speculate ou how a boy will "turn
out.”

necessarily mean higher prices to the consumer, for “Every-
thing has gone up” and is still advancing by leaps and

W. D. Martin showed The
Times man Monday, two cotton
tickets issued to him in 1894.
They were dated October 16.
One bale weighed 550 pounds
and was sold for 4.65, or a total
of $25.52 for the bale. The other
weighed 545 and he was paid 4%,
totaling $26.47. He sold his seed
for $6 per tr- The prevailing
price for picking was then 40c
per 100 pounds, but Mr. Martin
paid 45c to get all his cotton
gathered as soon as possible.
After paying his debts that year
be had less than $30 left for his
year’s work.
Weights and Measures Law
No longer is there any excuse
in Texas for arguments over the
size of a bushel of corn or the
weight of a bagof hydrated lime.
For the first time in history, the
state has a good weights and
measures law. It is hoped that
it will be practical and workable.
We have needed one. There is a
bulletin issued by the State De-
partment of Weights and Meas-
ures, which is invaluable for use
as a reference by farmers, stock-
men, housewives and others.

ago, was tried at Bonham the
latter part of last week and given
ten years in the pen. A motion
has been filed for a new trial,

will be taken. This is the second
time the case has been tried.
