To Voters of Precinct 7.
In order that all my friends
may learn about it, I desire to
announce that I will be a candi-
date for the office of Cotton

cratic primary next year. With
your support I expect to be cot-
ton weigher. The official an-
nouncement will appear in The

In the meantime, l will appreci-
ate anything my friends may do
for me. Respectfully,
M. Floyd.
Honor Roll.
Bryan, the Logician.
Mr. Bryan is indeed a queer
logician. Wherever he goes,
this Mr. Bryan, he tells the peo-
ple how we should all rejoice
that we have a president who
loves peace and who has kept us
out of war. And this is tho
same Mr. Bryan who quit his
place at the head of the presi-
dent’s cabinet because he didn’t
approve of what the president
was doing along peace lines.
There’s logic for you.—Waco
Times-Herald.
Mr. Bryan is a good man and
a great statesman, but we fear
he is letting the money devil get
the upper hand, and Bryan nev-
er did like to play second fiddle,
anyway.
Announcement.
To the public: I have opened
a dental office in the rooms over
Thompson’s Drug Store. Am
not a transient dentist, but have
moved to Deport to make it my
home. Am in my office every
day each week. All work guar-
anteed. It will be a pleasure to
see to it that you are perfectly
satisfied with any work I may do.

highway to extend from Paris
Houston via Palestine,
route has been decided on fr
Palestine to Houston, and Ahe
[object of the meeting was to
^ck a route from Palestine to
Pkvis. Large ■ delegations from
counties that wanted the high-
way to pass through their sec-
tions were present. It was
finally whittled down to two
route, and the fight betweens
counties through which -they
passed was a warm one. One
route lay via Cooper and Sul-
phur Springs; the other through
Deport, Bogata, Talco, Mt. Pleas-
ant, Pittsburg, Gilmer and Tyler.
An agreement conld not be
reached, and it was decided that
the highway first completed and
accepted by the Texas Good
Roads Association should be
known and officially designated as
the Red River-to-the-Gulf high-
way.
A meeting of citizens was held
at Mt. Pleasant'Tuesday night
at which time a representative
of the National government, Mr.
E. J. Hernan, was present, and
delivered an interesting address.
He stated that an effort would be
made to have congress appro-
priate twenty five millions of
dollars iq December to assist in
the construction of National
highways. He stated the bill
had the endorsement of the Pres-
ident’s Cabinet, and that it was
sure to pass. Texas’ portion of
the appropriation would amount
to nine hundred thousand dol-
lars, which would be spent on
her State highways, connecting
with National roads.
Should this highway come
through Deport it would mean
more to the town than another
railroad. Realizing this the
Commercial Club met Tuesday
and appointed a committee to at
tend the meeting at Mt. Pleas
ant that night. They did so and
are very enthusiastic over the
prospects of the route going via
of this city. Thirteen men in
Titus County say they will build
a sand-clay road clear across

Card of Thanks
In our time of sorrow over the
death of our loved one we have
come to understand more fully
the sterling worth of our friends,
and to each one,' who so willing-
ly and ably aided us by kind
words and deeds in this hour of
grief, we wish to extend our
sincere thanks. Especially do
we thank the doctors for their
skillful and untiring work, the
ministers for their help and
words of cheer and the choir
who rendered the beautiful
songs. The sweet flowers
breathe their spirit of peace into
our saddened hearts, and those*
who brought them made the
time less dark for us. May God
in his great wisdom bless and
reward each one as we would
like to he able to do, and when
the summons shall come for your
loved ones our hearts will go out
in sympathy to you, and until
then you cannot know our appre-
ciation of all you have done for us.
Mrs. M. C. Hearn & Children.
their county if a bond issue for
that purpose should fail to carry.
This section of the country
wants and must have the pro-
posed route, but it is going to
to take hustle and money to do
it. As we understand it, money
furnished by the National Gov-
ernment for good reads, goes to
those sectious that have the least
means and the most dffiiculties
in building good roads. What
are we of Deport and surround-
ding country going to do about it?
Road Overseers Must Report
Under a new law which went
into effect last march all road
overseers are required to make
reports showing how many days
each person subject to road duty
in their precincts have worked
and how much time they failed
to put in, and why, eic. The
blanks are furnished by the
county auditor and the overseer
need not have any trouble in
tilling them out if he has kept an
account. The reports must be
made to the, grand jury some
time before adjournment when
it convenes next month. Fail-
ure to make the report will sub-
ject the overseer to the penalty
of paying a fine.
