“Efficient and Dependable Banking Service”
THF TIMES BEGINS NEW
SERIAL STORY THIS ISSUE
Don’t fail to read tlie opening
chapters of the story, “Mary
Marie,” |)uhlished in today s pa
per. It is by Eleanor H. Porter,
author of “.Just David,” “Polly-
anna,” and other popular books,
it could have been more proper-
ly called “Marie Marie and Mar
riage." It sounds like a child’s
story, and it is, but one full of
heart interest-a Dr. Jekyl and
Mr. Hyde »n the form of a Kir)
with a dual personality. Imagine
a stern, bookish, serious-minded
father and a vivacious, laughter-
loving mother with a daughter
just budding into womanhood
and each parent trying to devel
op her personality along lines
each thought to be corrr^t, and
you have the most interesting
situation in the world. There
was a divorce and the girl lived
six months with her father and
six wnh her mother, making it
necessary for her to develop a
dual personality. Hut we are
telling too much of the story-
read it for yourself—opening
chapters in today’s Times.
DEPORT SCHOOL WILL
OPEN SEPTEMBER 18
A meeting of the school board
of the Deport Independent Dis-
trict was held Monday evening.
Another teacher to complete the
faculty was elected, but has not
accepted the place. The board
will meet as an equalization body
for the district on Monday, Sep
tember 11, and a good many
notices have been mailed to tax
payers to appear and show cause
why their valuations as given to
the assessor should not be rais-
ed. It is said that some will be
reduced.
Monday, September 18, was
selected as the date for opening
the school for the fall term. The
Terrell school, which belongs to
this district, will open October
23, and the negro school Noveni
her 2.
A number of local sportsmen
and twenty-eight fox hounds en-
joyed a good race of live hours
duration near Halesboro Monday
night. A wolf was jumped about
10 o’clock and every dog in the
pack stayed in until 3:30.
INTERESTINC ELECTION RETURNS TABULATED
FOR LAMAR AND RED RIVER COUNTY VOTERS
Three hundred and fifty-two in the tabulation, but are as
votes were polled at Deport Sat-
urday, compared to 370 in the
July‘election. The tabulated vote
will be found in this issue from
all boxes in the Deport precinct,
except that at Clardv;also Blos-
som and the total county vote.
For county offices John Brown
was re-elected sherilT, Dewey
Lawrence county judge, John
Sturgeon county attorney, II. R.
(Jeron lax collector and J. W.
Stell representative.
Earle B. Mayfield carried the
couity for United States senator
over Jas. E. Ferguson neatly two
to one. There were -451 voters
follows: Oliver 301, Bishop 232
and Pomroy 377.
Tabulated results of the vote
in Precinct 3, Red River County,
also the total county figures with
the exception of two small boxes
will be found in The Times today.
A little over 4,550 votes were
polled, and Earle B. Mayfield
lean Jas. E. Furgerson for Unit-
ed States senator by 066 votes,
with 288 scratching both candt
dates. Davidson for lieutenant
governor hud Billie Mayfield by
1667 votes. Terrell’s majority
for state treasurer over Garrett
was 54(5 votes, and Mans lead
who scratched both names. At Bentley for state superintendent
the Deport box 26 scratched both;
at Pattonville 15; Milton 8 and
Minter 25, which was practically
a fifth of the votes polled at Min-
ter.
Davidson defeated Billie May-
by 333 votes.
For county offices J. W. Turk
was nominated sheriff over J. C.
Martin by a margin of approxi-
mately 1,300 votes. Tom Tucker
was elected county superintend-
tield for Lieutenant Governor, i ent by a vote of 3,09^ to 1655 in
Terrell has the nomination over! the thirty-nine boxes reported.
Garrett and Marrs over Bentley.
In Dallas and Ft. Worth the Ku
Klux candidates made a sweep-
ing victory; over the state Earle
B. Mayfield was the only suc-
cessful candidate backed by the
organization. In Lamar County
Jas. W. SUM was the only Farm
Labor Union candidate who was
successful. Latest state figures
are:
For United States Senator —
Ferguson.______________ 249,425
Mayfield.. ........... 304,213
For Lieutenant Governor—
Davidson............... 277,934
Mayfield________________191,555
For State Treasurer—
Terrell.. ........ 256,615
Garrett.............. 105,277
For School Superintendent—
Marrs........... 207,774
Bentley...... ........
Me Bray er has the nomination
for county tax collector by less
than ninety votes. For com mis
sioner of Precinct 3, Lattimer ol
Detroit defeated Wilson of Ful
bright by 61 votes. We were un-
able to secure the figures at the
Detroit box. 'Pucker for county
superintendent lead the ticket in
the county, Turk second and
Davidson third. Only 200 less
votes were polled Saturday than
recorded in the first primary,
and it appears that many of them
were in the Halesboro and Rugby
boxes. Rain probably had some-
thing to do with the light vote.
Miss Paulene Bledsoe of De-
troit, wl.o has b^en visiting bet-
cousin, Miss Lena Shuman, for
several days returned to her
250,509 j home Tuesday. She was ac-
Chas. Pomroy is the nominee companied home by **’

Clardy figures are not included
Miss Shu-
man, who will visit in the Bledsoe
home until Friday.

CLARKSVILLE TRADE
TRIPPERS VISIT DEPORT
The automobile excursion trips
of Clarksville business men to
advertise the lied River County
Fair were held Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, and nearly every
town in the county was visited.
Deport was included in the itiner-
ary, and the visitors arrived
Monday afternoon about 2:30.
Dr. J. H. Moore delivered an ad
dress of welcome and introduced
Austin Dodd, a Clarksville attor-
ney, who made a short speech
and introduced Mayor Prenticd
Wilson of Clarksville. That in-
troduction was not really neces-
sary as Prentice is a Detroit boy,
who not only made good practic-
ing law in his county capital, but
the citizens thought enough of
him to elect him mayor.
Mayor Wilson delivered a
splendid address and urgently in-
sisted upon the people attending
the Fair. There were about
twentv-tive automobiles full of
men making the trip, and they
were accompanied by a Sulphui
Springs band, which rendered
several selections while in De-
port. Deport was glad to wel-
come them, and as usual, most of
our people will attend the Fair.
The State of Texas
Through its Guaranty Fund, created
by bank members, protects each depositor
in this institution.
This protection, plus the Courteous ser-
vice and diligent attention to your banking
needs, makes our bank an ideal one with
which to deal.
... Jm
If it’s consistent with good banking—
tell us what you want.
’ 1: M "
Negro Church Dynamited
Over at Cooper members of a
negro holy roller church met
every night and carried on their
services with so much noise late
at night that city officials took a
Imnd. The negroes moved out-
side the city limits, erected a
church, and have conducted ser-
vices every night for over a year.
Some one became tired of the
perpetual meeting and put two
sticks of dynamite under tl e
church early one morning
recently, and a lot of work is
necessary before the building
can he used again.
A GUARANTY FUND BANK
CONSTABLE FINDS WINE
UNDER BAPTIST CHURCH
Editor Fryar Knows
Constable Norman Wliitsell
found three gallons of blackberry
wine in a five-gallon jug and an
empty six-gallon jar that had
contained Choctaw beer, under
the Baptist Church at Patton-
ville.
The space under the church
i < about three feet high, is toxed
all around with only a small
opening.
A bootlegger is presumed to
have selected the secluded place
to conceal the liquor.
Finger Badly Mashed
Deport is now receiving elec-
tricity for light and power pur-
poses and this will enable Sam
Holloway of the Deport Times to
replace his old gasoline engine
with an electric motor. In which
event we see no earthly reason
why Sam Holloway should not
quit cussin’ and go to church
occasionally. Nobody is expect-
ed to try to keep from swearing
as long as he is the proprietor of
a stationary gasoline engine.—
Clarksville Times.
Editor Fryar appears to know
something about stationary gaso-
line engines. We were under
the impression Clarksville was
supplied with electric current.
Shortage of Ducking
There has been a scramble
among farmers for duck to make
pick sacks the past week. Local
stores had plenty of it ordered,
but the railroad strike has slow
ed up freight shipments, and
most of the duck obtained has
come by express. If the weather
remains fair it is expected that
nearly all growers will begin
picking Monday. Quite a bit of
cotton has been coming in, and
the report is that the crop wi 1
be very short. Worms continue
to damage late cotton.
Electric Service Wednesday
Roy Bryant, who has con-
structed a high line from Blos-
som to Deport to supply the
town with current, is stringing
wire in the business section of
the ‘own this week. Service was
secured by some of the stores
Wednesday evening. The pop!
pop! pop! of individual power
plants will soon be a thing of the
past, and street lights will per-
mit us to go about without
stumbling around in the dark.
Jim Davidson, who is con-
structing a road dump thru Cut-
hand bottom on the Mt. Pleasant
Clarksville road, was in Deport
Saturday. He reports he will
complete the job within a week.
Goble, the seven year old son
o Mr. and Mrs. Aleck Gues*,
who reside east of Deport, stuck
the middle fingei on his right
hand into the cogs of a hay press
one day last week, and the end
of the finger was badly mashed.
It may be necessary to amputate
a part of it. The machinery was
not being driven by the engine
at the time, but the fly wheel was
being turned by a smaller broth-
er.
RENDER REAL SERVICE
TO INTERESTED V<
Deport voters especially
terested in early election returns
are again indebted to EL O.
Thompson for the splendid set- ■
vice rendered Saturday night.
Returns were chalked up from
every voting box in Lamar
County precinct 7, the Blossom
box and Precinct 3 of Red River
County. Late returns from both j
counties at large were also given. ■
V. C. Oliver and his assistants
rendered their usual prompt
service. Results at the Deport
box were know eight minutes
after the polls closed at 7 o’clock.
Miss Ijois Rush entertained
with a picnic party Tuesday eve-
ning in honor of her guests, the \
Misses Wiley and McClain of
Cooper, when about fifteen
couples chaperoned by Mr. and '
Mrs. Floyd Rush enjoyed a pic
nic lunch, at the Westbrook
pasture west of Deport.' After '
the lunch, which consisted of
sandwiches and fried chicken ,
wi h punch, marshmallows were
toasted over a camp tire.
