Vines of the yellow yam po
tato is the latest thing in the
way of winter plants for the liv-
ing room.
We are indebted to J. I. Law-
ler for a deer leg tooth pick. If
you do not know what it is, ask
an old hunter.
The editor managed to make
connection with a piece of fresh
swine Monday while W. H
Thompson was butchering. „
Keep your eyes open for the
announcement of our splendid
new serial story—The Times nev
er publishes any ott^er kind.
Hunting parties which were
composed of—but what’s the
use. Nearly everything that
could carry a gun has been on
Sulphur this ek.
Ip we remember correctly.
Jno. D. Rockefeller’s advice to
young men was to “look up.
He probably wanted them to
watch the price on oil.
Read the ads in The Times
and then trade where you are
invited, telling the merchant
when the purchase is made, that
you saw his ad in The Times.
It is estimated that the net
profits of the State Pair this
year will be between $30,000 and
$40,000. This will probably be
used to open next year’s exposi-
tion.
Our friend Jno. D. must have
made another big donation to
charity, the price of crude oi,
has advanced 20c a barrel
three days; gasoline 2 cents p
gallon.
VOU will need a New Suit to sit with

Recently J. S. Williams,
Comptroller of the Currency,
made it unpleasant for some
bankers for charging such ex
orbitant interest rates. Dallas
bankers now want his office
abolished. No particular bank-
er would be quoted in the mat
ter, but Texas people know that
the dog that is hit hardest howls
the loudest.
Employees of Uncle 8am in
the postal department certainly
have to guard their' ton .ues.
The assistant postmaster at Win-
netka, III., has been discharged
beeause he stated President
Wilson should have waited a
year after his wife's death be-
fore marrying again.—Later.
Upon hearing of his discharge,
the President has given orders
that he be re instated.
As an illustration of the value
of a newspaper to a town, we re-
cently read the ad of ft town pro-
motor who offered to pay a pub
lisher $500 to establish a paper
in the town In which he was in-
terested, and $25 per month for
twelve months thereafter. Pat-
ronize The Times’ advertisers—
they are responsible for a news-
paper at Deport.
Sunday was a very trying day
for Deportites. A cold wind
from the north and a drizzling
rain kept most everyone in doors
all day. W. 8. Griffin of Rugby,
phoned in and aaked us to tell
the readers of The Times that
he woul^^HReTo^exchange his
For<J^4K>r a flying machine. Sun '
night was a very cold one
and Monday morning plenty of
ice was visible and a heavy, kill-
ing frost covered everything.

Jno. N. Grehn, formerly
tor and owner of the Leonard
Graphic, one of the best weekly
papers in Texas, has purchased
an interest in and! assumed edi-
torial control of the El Paso
County Democrat, published at
Colorado Springs, Colo. Mr.
Green is a brother to Chas.
Green of The Times force. He
is a successful newspaper men
and we wish him well in his new
field of labor.
The state comptroller has is-
sued a circular to the heads of
all state departments calling a
halt in the extravagance of trav-
eling expenses for various de-
partment officials. He states
that accounts have been pres-
ented which show hotel bills of
$8 per day, laundry and barber
accounts, telephone calls, tailor-
ing bills, tips to porters, etc.
Mr. Terrell is putting a stop to
the squandering of the people’s
money by refusing to issue war
rauts for any such accounts.
Booker T. Washington, the
negro who gained so much notori-
ety by dining with. President
sevelt at the White House
bout thirteen years ago, died
!t his home in Tuskegee,* Ala.,
ast Sunday. Washington was
the best educated negro his race
has produced, and he did much
to enlighten and uplift his peo-
ple. Memorial services are be-
ing held for him by negroes
throughout the country.
Married at Tioga.
Last week The Times stated
that the open season on quail did
not begin until December 1st.
In the official commission of
Deputy Game Warden Jim Cox
of this city, issued Nov. 8, 1915,
there appears extracts from the
game laws which says the sea-
son opened on Nov. 1st.—Later.
Because this has beoome known.
Warden Cox asks us to state
that in Wednesday’s mail he re-
ceived a new copy of the game
laws which says that the open
season is December and January.
Miss Mollie Tomlinson sur-
prised her many friends last
Sunday when a message was re-
ceived by her mother stating that
she had married. The fortunate
young man was Mr. J. B. Phil-
lips, cashier of a bank at Dexter.
The young people met while
staying at Tioga Wells. The
event was expected by the bride’s
mother, but not so soon. Miss
Tomlinson had returned to Tioga
to ship some of her personal ef-
fects to Deport, and while there
the happy event took place.
Miss Tomlinson was born and
reared a few miles north of De-
port and has many friends who
join The Tiroes in wishing she
and her husband happy useful
lives.
