The Kind of Friend to Be.
■
Mr
§
Have you a friend in whom you
repose the utmost confidence?
A fellow to whonr. you can go
with anything and he assured of
his sympathy? A fellow you
know will be “with you" in your
hopes and efforts, no matter
where the world may stand?
It’s a glorious thing to have a
friend like that!
It gives a man strength to
know that he has a friend who
t
will never go back on him!
Do you know how to win that
kind of friends?
It is easy.
Just be that kind of friends to
others.—Mystic Worker.
Pricilla Club Pic Nic.
J
For Benefit of Both.
The Guardian, published at
Manchester, England, in discuss-
ing President Wilson’s note to
Germany, sees something in it
for John Bull in regard to free-
dom of the s^as. The cotton-
grower will find it of interest:
“The whole passage should
be noted very carefully. It
means quite plainly that, in
President Wilson’s opinion, this
country is an offender against the
principle of the freedom of the
seas; we have, in fact, had sever-
al dispatches from President
Wilson on this very subject, and
these, it is believed, shortly will
be followed by another.
“He declines to discuss alleg-
ed infractions of the freedom of
i the seas with Germany now, but
Members of the Pricilla Club he says, in effect, that the case
and their gentlemen friends
took an outing Tuesday at Geo.
W. Grant’s pasture, southeast of
Deport. Well filled lunch box
es were carried along with plen
ty of grape juice and ice. In
the party were Misses Lillian
Spear, Mamie Grant, Mary El-
len Grant, Leta Gray, Brodie
Bell, Minnie Lawler, Vera
Maude Dixon; Messrs. Gussie-
Nobles, Hobart Dickson, Edgar
Hood. Walter Grant, Raymond
and Clarence Nobles. Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Larimore chaperon-
ed the crowd.
Would Fix Him.
Pat came out of the’ house,
laughing all over his face. He
started 'down the street, turned
the corner in the direction of a
saloon, still laughing, when he
ran into a friend.
- '“Say, what strikes you as be
ing so funny?’’ inquired the
** .friend.
“Well,” says Pa,t, “Mike’s been
in the habit of hitting my vest
pocket where I carry my cigars,
and breaking them all the time.
Be jabers, I’ll fix him now; I got
a stick of dynamite in there.”—
Philadelphia Record.
might be different if Germany
showed sincerity in her attach
ment to the principal of freedom
at seas by abandoning her sub-
marine campaign, which is the
most serious infraction of that
^freedom ever known. Let Ger-
many do that and America and
she may do somelhing together
for freedom on the seas. The
whole passage mpy well occasion
some very serious reflections in
this country.”____
Land Grant Signed by Gen. Sam
Houston in 1844 Recorded.
One of the oldest land grants
ever filed in the office of County
Clerk George Jones was record-
ed Friday, signed in the bold
handwriting of General Sam
Houston, president of Texas.
Dated October 29, 1844, it is for
one labor of land—177>6 acres—
granted to Andrew Jones. It is
written on sheepskin and looks
as good as new.—Henderson
Times.
Gerge. W. Grant of Rugby,
brought us a forked limb from a
plum tree Thursday that was
eleven inches long and about the
size of a lead pencil. It contain
ed eighteen large, yellow plums.
Two more plums fell from the
limb while it was being cut. If
a stranger desires to see the best
crops of corn, cotton, grain,
lruits, nuts, or anything else
this particular section will pro-
duce, he can find them on the
place of this pioneer citizen at
Rugby.—Deport Times.
Mr. Grant, be it knowo, is a
black land farmer. His fields
are supposed to be better for cot
ton than'anything else on earth,
but Mr. Grant is not an all cot-
ton farmer. He habitually wears
a large, black hat, under which
he carries a square, rugged
head filled with firm compact
brains. He has farmed his lands
for forty years, and not once in all
that time has he had a “distress-
ed” crop. He has sold when the
markets suited him and held
when it didn’t suit him, he being
all the time substantiated by
barns full of feedstuff, yards full
of poultry, pens full of pigs and
an orchard full of fruit. Having
no fear of the morrows, his
nights have given him restful
sleep. Being satisfied to sow
and reap in orderly manner,
avoiding speculation and keeping
an even keel, he has not had to
borrow money for hazardous op-
erations. The result is th..t
in some years he has barely "got
by” and in other years put
money in the bank. But there
have been so many more good
years than bad years his bank
account has grown steadily and
now he is called by his neigh-
bors a rich man. However,
George W. Grant’s reward was
not reserved for his old age.
Though he has peace and plenty
in the evening of his life, his en-
tire career has been one of use-
ful service to his comlhunity,
personal contentment and worth-
ily won repect. Furthermore,
he claims no patent right on his
methods. Anybody who wishes
may follow them.—Dallas News.
A Close Shave.
He willingly and sincerely
does his. best and for the need
of every individual, year in and
year out. In . the rain, sleet,
snow and storm; in the darkest
night and the hottest day, with-
out rest and without a holiday
for years, often his life’s service
is spent in relieving suffering
humanity. What a steady hand
it is in operation, yet as gently
used as a woman’s. What a kind
voice is his in the most humble
home and his step is so quietly
taken that the easily excited
patient scarcely realizes that a
step has fallen.
Who among our men deserve
our appreciation more than these
who in their unselfish service of
healing drive the shadows from
our homes? The night is never
too stormy nor too dark for him
to respond to the call of the suf-
ferer. Very often when he should
be in bed taking tho rest needed
to retain his own vitality he is out
like the good shepherd seeing
after his lambs. Oftimes for
days he does not realize even an
hour’s rest.—Lone Oak News.
This is not a word too much to
say, and it might be added that
the orthodox doctor has no means
of publicity by which he can af-
ford to commend or even defjnd
himself. The patients whom he
saves are never counted and the
names published to his credit,
while those who die in spite of his
treatment get into the papers and
are frequently counted against
him. There is no higher or
nobler service than that of a good
doctor.—Dallas News.
WHY AT THIS BANK?
If we were asked the above question with
reference to opening a bank account, our first
answer would be efficient service, strongest pro-
tection, and most liberal treatment consistent
with sound banking methods. Look Into the
matter and be convinced that this Is no vain
boast.

John Keating, of Gulfport,
Mississippi, died the other day
and his obituary was prepared.
A barber was called in to shave
the corpse. As the razor passed
over the man’s cheek his eyes
opened, his lips parted and he
said: “Don’t cut me kid.” The
barber dived through the win-
dow and is somewhere in Okla-
homa by this time. Keaiing is
alive and well. — Harrodsburg

Sterling, Colo.—A train struck
a young colt near here and car-
ried it three miles on the pilo
without injuring it.

Watch
Out! —E. E. Balcomb.
Tnrough the work of C. ^R.
Janes, president of the Commer-
cial Club, and the co operation
of about seventy of our citizens,
Deport is assured a series of
eum attractions for this fall
and winter. Officers of the
Commercial Club signed a con-'
tract Tuesday with 1. M. Hol-
comb, representing the Dixip<
Lyceum Bureau. It calls for
five n umbers and will cost $250.

win and fartnttjt^did a sp^ndid
work and he informed-tTsT that
this was one of his most success-
ful meetings. Mrs. Erwin was
very successful in her work with
the ladies' prayer meetings and
visits in the homes and to know
her was to love her, A son who
is only 19 years old is quite an
accomplished jniisir.ian. 4tud his
offeratories were very much en-
joyed.
The Erwin family did a great
work in Deport and the people
showed their appreciation by
making up a purse for them of
about $400.
Rev. Erwin and family left
Tuesday morning for a few days
at Mineral Wells and will go to
Savanna the latter part of the
week where they will begin
another meeting. The prayers
and good wishes of many De-
port people will attend them.
More About The Rooster.
Two Honest People.
Hamp Sanders lost a $200 dia-
mond on the streets of Paris a
few nights ago. Mrs. J. E. Vaz
quez found it and was rewarded
$50 by Mr. Sanders.—Paris Re-
view.
We don’t like the rooster. He
is the poorest ladies’ man in the
fowl family. As a strutter he is
a great success, but when you
say he is a dude you have fully
described him. He never helps
the hens prepare a roosting
place, he is absolutely worthless
when it comes to extending aid
or sympathy to expectant moth
ers, he does not help the young,
neither does he provide a mouth-
ful of food for his wives. Oft have
we seen him discover a big, fat
worm and call all the hens, but
just as the hens arrived upon
the scene with watering mouths
Chanticleer would swallow the
worm. Our favorite husband in
the fowi family is the gander.
Truly, the gander is a model
husband. When Mrs. Goose
steals away into the weeds to in-
cubate a family Mr. Gander
either sits by her side or stands
a few feet in front to fight away
all who intrude upon the privacy
of his family affairs; and woe be
to man or beast that so intrudes.
When Mrs. Goose goes out for
refreshments or to breathe a lit-
tie fceah air, Mr. Gander takes
his place upoil the eggs and
patiently awaits her return. He
also sees to it that the goslings
are trained in the way they
should go. Swat the rooster as
much as you please, but hang a
halo about the head of the gan-
der. He’s a first-class family
man—and he isn’t a polygamist.

Horatio, Ark.—Alto Poole has
grown a freak ear of corn con-
taining J6 small ears. The same
stalk contained two other well-
developed ears.
Pleasant Valley, Pa.—George
Kennedy of this place has a cow
which changes her color every
season. She sheds her winter
coat of black in the spring and
turns to a cream color.
The Ford Kept a Chuggin'
Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs
one day, and the gosh durned
fool threw his money right away;
he rode into town a sitting on u
board, and came home riding in a
darned little Ford. When he
came to the house, and got to
the gate, he shut down the throt
tie and put on the brake; he
grabbed for the reins, got the
throttle instead and the darned
little Ford kept a chuggin’ right
ahead. Zeke jerked on the lev-
ers, and turned on the gas, he
kicked at the pedals, and broke
out the glass; he cut all the
wires and he pulled off the top,
but the gosli-darned Ford it just
wouldn’t stop. He pulled out
his knife and he smiled so se-
rene, cut a hole in the tank,
drained out the gasoline; he pull-
ed out his gun, shot the tires
full of lead, but the gol durned
Ford kept a chuggin’ right
ahead.—Ex.
How to Have a Revival.
There will never be a revival
worth a cent in Carthage until
the Christians of every name
and order get together and dem-
onstrate to the world that they
think more of advancing the
kingdom of God than they do of
enlarging and strenghtening
their little societies. To a man
up a tree the religious situation
in Carthage would be laughably
absurd if it were not so terribly
tragic.—Carthage Register.
Deport could give Carthage
much instruction along this line.
There were 161 converts during
a meeting just closed.
