BIHTH-DAY DINNER AND
A FAMILY REUNION.
HIS ACTIONS PECULIAR
fh.rty-two years ago John A.
•Vallate left Krath county and lo-
cated at Canyon, Randall county.!
Last week he and his wife came
through to Stephenville enroute to
iie Nueces country on their twen-
ty-second visit since they located
oi Randall county. The visit here;
Tieanf a family reunion at the
home of Jack Wells near Lingle-;
sjlie. the two tnon being double)
vmthers-in-law, and as big dinner:
•va> served on April 25,land, as we!
znderstand, it was a birthday din-
ne' tor Mr. Wallace, as well as a
ranrly reunion affair. Those pres*:
-rut were, Jack Wells and wife,
Johi' Wallace and wife, Felix i
•Veils. Mr. and Mrs. Buck Carneal,'
Mr-, l.ucy Allen and her bachelor
son. Luther, W. B. Hicks who is
‘he oldest settler in that section),
Tint Puss McCleskey, John Wells
■ind wife, Monroe Wells and wife,
H ••an dm a Jack Wallace. Thirty
nsmi.ers of the lug family were
■'!*> >f:t for dinner.
Wednesday, between three and
four o’clock, a.m., when sheriff
Turnbow heard his telephone bell
ring, he rushed to the receiver,
struck hi>, head on something and
was .knocked down. The phone
call was from George Tudor of thy
Bamter house, who said that some
one had run his car out of the
garage. When the sheriff and city
marshall arrived they found a
young man at the car, who ex-
plained that he could not sleep,
and had run the car out to exam-
ine it. The man was told to re-
port at the sheriff’s office at 9
o’clock the next morning, and at
that hour he did appear, and was
turned over to the county attorney
who, al’te (questioning the man
told him to go. There was no case
against him.
DID NOT WANT HARSH
JUDGMENT PASSED.
Stephenville has at least two
men who think a whole lot of their
wives. In fact they love them so
well that they let the weeds grow
up in their yards, and they never
work at the wood pile preparing
kindling for the stoves. “If I were
to he seen sweating at the end of
a hoe handle, cutting weeds”, said
one of them, “the whole community
at once would go to talking about
my wife, saying that she was worth
less, trifling and lazy, and forced
her poor old husband to cut weeds
and cut and carry wood, wash the
dishes and sweep. No, no, I think
too much of my wife to do any-
thing to reflect on her industrious
habits.”

MRS. FRANK MORRIS
RUNS CAR OVER CHILD
POISON THE POTATO PLANTS
Mrs Frank Morris had an exper-
ience this week that completely up-
set her nerves. Her small son was
on a bicycle at the rear of the car
and when she backed the car, not
knowing he was there, the child
and bicycle were knocked down,
and one wheel of the car passed
over the child’s legs, but fortu-
nately he was not injured. When
Mrs. Morris found she had run
over her child she felt sure she
had killed him.

Complaints are coming in that
insect- are eating the foliage of
Irish potato plants. Go to any
drug store, purchase a little arse-
nate of lead, mix with water as per
direction, sprinkle or spray the
plants and you will have no more
trouble. Two pounds to fifty gal-
lons of water is the usual pro-
portion.
The social given at the Method-
ist church this week was well at-
tended by members and their
friends, and the event was very
enjoyable, as it gave citizens op-
portunity to engage in social dis-
course, and to become better ac-
quainted. The event was free
from the usual church forms, and
in every way was a most delight-
ful affair. Punch was served by
the ladies.
The circle of the Methodist
church whose leaders are Mrs. T.
; II. Perry and Mrs. Frank Morris,
played base hall against the fat
men of the town Wednesday at
the college ball grounds. Much
fun was had at the expense of
i players of both teams. Proceeds,
which were over $80, go to the
church. The line-up for the fat
men was (’has. Neblett, John Cage,
Hr. Cragwall, F. H. Chandler, Ev-
erett Keith, L. D. Hickey, G. W.
Bolding, Bert Watson, Edgar Mc-
Neill, Barney Cage and Claude Ar-
mour. The women who played
were Mrs. Frank Morris, Mrs. John
'Lambert, Mrs. Overby Mrs. Brink-
ie Trewitt, Mrs. John Dean .Mrs.
Connor Blakeney, Mrs. Bess Price,
Mrs. Davis, Kate Ballentine, Lola
Russell, Effie Smith, Georgie Wood
and Girlie Jenks. Umpire, DaV
( age.
The men played their very best
and even then the honors of the
j game went to the better team, the
women, with a score of 11-5.
Dr. A. O. Cragwall as city health
.officer is zealous in his efforts to
preserve the health of citizens who
make their home in Stephenville,
and all good citizens should give
,him hearty support. Stephenville
has two schools—the public school
,and John Tarleton Agricultural
-college—therefore the scholastic
population is very large,
«»nd for this reason sanitary meas-
ures to prevent illness must be
vigorously enforced. The good
doctor now urges that all rank-
growing weeds be cut, and this
suggestion applies to you, not the
other fellow,. So get busy. All
breeding places for flies must be
looked after. Screen your cisterns
so that mosquitoes cannot breed
in them. A few drops of kereosene
on the water will kill the wiggle-
tails.
Sunday a Tribune reporter vis-
ited the farming section in and a-
round .Johnsville, and found crops
in that section unusually promis-
ing,, wheat, oats and corn being in
fine condition. Daniel Cox, who
lives south of Johnsville was very
optimistic, believing that his sec-
tion would produce a bumper crop
and he stated tha* he knew of only
one crop of corn in that section
that had the appearance of taking
care of itself, and he wanted the
Tribune man to know that it did
not belong to him. He was not
positive, but stated that he thought
Jim Davis claimed il.
All Modern Woodmen, Royal
Neighbors and their families are
requested to he present at the so-
cial and feast, at the hall Wednes-
day night, May 7. We have prom-
ise of several visiting speakers for
this occasion and some very inter-
esting and important business will
| be discussed. The committee on
arrangements guarantees us plenty
1 of barbecue, ice cream, music, and
a general good time- for all present.
