Resolutions of Respect
The last number of the lyceuin
course was rendered Tuesday
night. We are certainly sorry
that this was our last number,
and hope to "have as good a
course next year. Our lyceum
is one of the educational advant-
ages that we are privileged' to
enjoy.
An interesting basket ball
game was played here last Sat-
urday afternoon, although our
boys were defeated. Our sec-
ond team played Stoue.waU’s
second team and as the game end-
ed in the second half a tie, which
had to be played olf. However,
at the close of the game the
Stonewall boys’ had one score
more than Deport.
We are not having many ab-
sentees or tardies now. Every
pupil is able to come regularly
and on time this pretty weather.
An interesting programme
was rendered last Friday night
after which hot chocolate and
cake were served. The money
derived, which was $10.75, went
to pay the fare of the Stonewall
Basket Ball boys.
There wjll be a basket ball
game at Detroit Saturday be-
tween Detroit and Deport.
We are glad to state that Ed-
gar Hood is now enrolled in the
High School. We are glad to
have him with us as he will be a
great help to us in athletics.
Miss Kincaid’s sister who is
a teacher at Mt. Pleasant, was a
visitor here last Saturday.
Whereas, It having pleased
Almighty God in His wise provi-
dence, to call home, our esteem
ed friend and sovereign, S. M,
Summers, thus terminating his
physical labors and sufferings
and opening to him the eternal
joys of life in that home where
sorrows come no more,
And with a linn belief that no
man is called to answer the final
summons until the work for
which he was created is finish-
ed, Therefore be it
Resolved, That while we
mourn his loss and will, miss
him from our meetings, we re-
vere his memory and rejoice be-
cause of that faith which enab
led him to step out into that
Vast Unknown with confidence
and composure, and doubt not
that on the glorious morn of the
Resurrection his body shall rise,
and become as incorruptible as
his soul. Be it further
Resolved^, That a ■page of our
minutes be dedicated to his
memory, a copy sent to The
Deport Times for publication,
a copy of these" resolutions be
delivered to his family, to whom
we extend our heartfelt syrnpa-
A. M. Akin’s store at Milton
was robbed last Thursday at
noon, while Mr. Akin was at
home eating his dinner. When
he returned to the store he no-
ticed that a swinging shutter
window which fastened from the
inside, was standing open, and
two boys were sitting on a bench
on the gallery just beneath it.
He went to his cash drawer and
discovered about $:i0 missing.
He questioned the boys, and ope
of them disclaimed any ^novV-
ledge of the robbery.
Mr. Akin then ’phoned Con-
stable Jno. Brown and he dep-
utised Pleas Dennison to make an
arrest. Mr. Dennison arrested
“pude” Murphy on the charge
of robbery and an examining
trial was held that afternoon be-
fore Justice of the Peace H. S.
Allgood.
At the examining trial, it is
claimed that facts were develop-
ed which showed that Murphy,
in coming out of the store via
the shutter-window, jumped |
astride the boy’s neck who was
sitting beneath it. Twenty-four
dollars of the missing money
was lecovered, and Murphy’s
bond was placed at $500, which
he made.
To Use City Rock Crush^
jtnd County Commissioners As-
fiation. Commissioner Josh
Attempted Jail Break Fails
Deputy Sheriff Joe Allen, of
Clarksville,came near being kill-
ed when he entered the jail to put
the prisoners from the run-
around into their cells Saturday.
One of the prisoners who was
standing back from the door
entering the run around, struck
Mr. Allen with a stick of wood,
when he opened the door. The
blow partially stunned the dep
uty but he managed to go back
to the office without further at-
tack. It is thought that four of
the prisoners had planned to es-
cape after knocking Mr. Allen
senseless, but when the blow was
struck the stick hit the side of
the door and arrested part of
the force of the blow. While
painful, Mr. Allen’s wound is
not serious.
Judge T. L. Beauchamp and
Commissioner T. J. Bridges re-
turned at noon Saturday from
Waco, where they attended the
meeting of the County Judges
and
sic
O’Brien of Roxton was intend-
ing to go with them, but he
went out to get some samples of
rock to take along to be tested
by an expert from the A. & M.
College and didn’t get back in
time to catch the train. Judge
Beauchamp talked with Prof.
D. W. Spence, the Dean of the
A. & M. College, who was in at-
tendance at the meeting, in re-
gard to the testing of rock from
Lamar County with the view to
using it in road building, and
Prof. Spence promised to senega
man here to go over every part
of the county and get specimens
of rock and send it to the college
to be tested as to quality, and to
make a survey to determine the
quantity.
In the meantime Judge Beau-
champ and the commissioners
will make a test of their own. If
anybody in any part of the coun-
try has any grayel or rock
which he thinks would make
suitable or durable road build-
ing material be is requested to
notify fhe judge or any one of
the commissioners. Mayor Mc-
Cuistion has offered the use of
the city rock crusher with
which to m&ke the test, and if
the stone tested should prove
unsuitable the usie of the rock
crusher in making the test will
not cost the county.‘anything.’ If
the rock should be, found suit-
able the county will probably
purchase the rock crusher from
the city.
The proposed use of rock in
the country for road building
and the employment of county
convicts on the rock pile, as re-
lated in the News, has met
with-much favor from the peo-
ple in the country. Nobody has
been heard to express himself
in opposition to it.—Paris News.

A Thought for the Week
About the most useful patriot-
ic service any American individ-
ual can do readily just now is to
put some money in the savings
bank. Eor generations Europe
has been providing us with the
capital whenever we wanted to
build new railroads or set up
new plants or open new mines.
After this war Europe won’t
have any money to lend. Indeed
for the first time in history the
situation will be reversed. We
shall| have to save not only for
our own development, but to lend
to Europe as well. For the per-
son who does save there are go-
ing to be very great rewards as
soon as things have settled
down.—Collier's Weekly.
Accidentally Shot
Rusk Guest, the youngest son
of the widow Guest, who re
sides north of Fulbright, shot
himself in the arm with a shot
gun at his home Monday. He
saw a rabbit in the yard, secur-
ed the gun and started down the
steps to the gallery, which gave
way and caused him todischarge
the gun. The arm was ampu-
tated below the elbow.

From the window of a trolley
car on a line that connects sev
eral small cities and large vil
lages in Central New York, the
traveler can see a scythe swing-
ing from the limb of a tall tree.
To be perfectly accurate, it does
not swing any longer, for it has
hung there so many years that
the tree has grown around it,
and now holds it tightly in its
place.
During the Civil War, a young
man was mowing in his father's
fields with this scythe. While
he worked, his thoughts must
have been on bis country’s dan
ger, for suddenly he hung the
scythe on the tree with the
the words, “Hang there until
I come back.” He had made
up his mind to enlist.
He never came back. Like so
many other patriotic men, he
gave his life to his country, and
the gift was accepted. Having)
heard his words, his parents |
let no one remove the scythe.)
Year after year, on the sacred
anniversary of his death,’ his
friends have gathered under that!
tree and kept his memory green.
There is probably no other me-
morial in the world like the I
