party up tew the meetin' house at

was sure a heap of folk thar, and the
tray they carried on seemed to me
wasn’t exactly In place in the meetin’

pious apd thoughtful.
“Tell us about It/’ said Hiram, help-
ing himself to another -cracker from
the open barrel near by.
“Wall, It was jest this a-way. In
the fust place a party of city folks
come down from up the hill—we could
pee at once that they was goln’ to
run things to suit themselves. If they
hadn’t a-boiigbt a Jot of peanuta, Ice
Cream and lemonade, we’d have broke
np the Jamboree right thpr and let ’em
go home. The fust thing they done
Was to start ^Virginia reelin’, which
I reckon Is an Imitation of hoW a per-

gathered around in the corners of the
lawn and says nothin’—at least, not so
as the city folks could hear. We
thought they’d gone far enough with
the Virginy trapsing, but we found we
was plum mistaken. "
“Some f^njale says, says she, ‘Let’s
chase the turkey around thl? lawn.’
Wall, there. Wasn’t any turkey, but
there was some of the woYst doln’s

In order to' bring silence, I spoke some-
thing like this: ‘Brethern and slstern,

tonight has disgraced us all, and to

Projection for Armenians.
In a news letter from Jerusalem,
printed in The Living Church (Mil-
waukee), information is giveirof addi-
tional massacres of Armenians In Kur-
distan’last summer which have hardly
been reported in this country. In this
connection. The Living Church says
editorially: “One feels, that in the
final settlement of questions between
the Turk and Christendom, this matter
of protection to Armenians ought to be
'Hjc)ud?d. True, the Balkan states
themselves can hardly claim to extend
their protectorate over tbode perse-
cuted Asiatic Christians. They have
no coitimon bondtr of race or even of
communion with Armenians as th< y
have between themselves and Mace-
donians and Albanians. Here is one
belated tiding that thp powers can yet
do, before the Turk receives hia clean
bill of health. Jhey are bound by
their treaties to guarantee safety to
Armenians, and these afflicted people
bhve no cousins who can arise and do
for (hem what the Balkan states have
dofie for Christians v in European
Turkey.”

to our patrons for the nice patronage we
Jiave received during the past year. Our
business has been quite successful and you
have contributed to making it so.
Promising to merit a continuation of your
patronage, it is our wish that happiness and
prosperity shall attend you throughout the
year 1913.

The First Monday.
Let us not fotget that next
Monday will be the first Monday
in the first month, of the nSw
year. *A first Monday Trades
Day was instituted in Teague
during the old year, and it has
proven quite a success. Farmers
and traders over the epunty and
even from other sections now
have come to look upon the first
Monday in each month as a busy
day in Teagpe. And this is af>.
When first established the
crowds were comparatively
small, but as the move became
more publicy and widelv known,
larger and better crowds began
to gather on the day set apart
for trades and special shopping
in Teague. This was one of the
worthy features of the year
as a whole to see to it that it be-
shipped to Ennis his former
home, • Wednesday afternoon
where interment was m^de.
He leaves an aged wifefind
several children to mourn his
death. He practiced law during
his younger days and was an
ex-Confederate soldier, having
served through the Civil war.

Balkan Ballads.
In thp Balkan countries the ballad
mukers have certainly been at least
akim Mutant as the makers of laws.
Servla’s. national ballads, commem-
orat: the glories of the Servian Ho-
pe ■ Dushan, the fatal battle of Kos-
sovo : -d the legendary exploits of the
hero Marko Kralyevlch and his horse
Sharats, are of Homeric proportions,
and, sung to the accompaniment of
a guitar with cords of horBe-halr tails,
have kept national feeling warm for
centuries. In recent years' the Ser-
vian government published a popular
edition. In Macedonia, Sir Charts*
Eliot heard a schoolboy recite a Bui
a quarter, with a- simple but signifi-
cant plot. The Pasha of Sofia sum-
comes better and better through- mon9 a Bulgarian hero who is his
friend and tells him he has orders to
asks
out the year 1913 which stands
before us to prove our destinies.
If the Chronicle . sees it aright,
we should not only have it be-
come more firmly established as
a regular montly feature of our
town and county life, but we
should add such members to the
-program as will augment its
usefulness to the public and
bring an ever increasing popu-
larity. V „. .
By all means let's have a suc-
cessful trades day in Teague,
and perpetuate it as a regular
monthly event, and if every
individual citizen hereabout will
lend his assistance earnestly,
the success of it is assured.
Wm. Carleton Dead.
“Grandpa" Wm. Carleton died
shortly after midnight Wednes-
day morning appoplexy. Last
Saturday he suffered the second
stroke of the the milady during
the last month, shortly became
unconscious from which he never
recovered, death resulting. The
old gentleman was about 75 years
of ^re. He and his wife came to
Teague from Ennis shortly after
the.death of their son, Engineer
J. E. Carleton, a little more than
a year agb, and have resided
here since, >
Several children frofn different
parts of the state' came to see
him during his illness and were
with him until the last.

Looking for Owner of Fingers.
A farmer near Kansas City, Mo..
Is looking for the own'er of a couple
of fingers he has In bis- possession.
He went to iparket with a load of
potatoes and started to sleep In his
wagon'during the night before market
opened. He was. ..flifturbed by the-
moving of the canvas over the load
and, waking, saw a hand slip beneath
the canvas and abstract a couple of;
the tubers. The operation was re-;
peated so many times that he could;
foresee nothing but the disappearance*
of the entire load unless he took sum-
mary action. Raising a sharp hatchet
he had with him, the farmer smote1
the hand the next time it appeared,
and the next morning found two.
guilty fingers in the wagon. The re-
mainder of his potatoes were not;
molested.
