The Brass Band
A brass band is a large num-
ber of disturbances merged into
one harmonious and jambang-
some whole.
Nothing illustrates more vivid
ly the benefits of union. A trom-
bone played alone on the streets
would be a nuisance. A cornet
is a crime against an entire
neighborhood. No one would go
four feet to hear a bass drum by
itself unless there was a chance
to kick it in. People go out of
their way to throw bricks at a
clarinet when it is in full cry
alone. Yet when these instru-
ments are all played together in
a -band with a drum major at
tachment, business suspends,
windows open to catch the divine
melody, and small boys follow
the players from Main street un-
til past d'nner time.—Ex.
I have just completed the work
of having the Deport Cemetery
cleaned ofF. This is the third
year that I have tried to keep
the City of the Dead in a respeot
able condition.
There is now no money in the
treasury to pay for this work.
Heretofore I have persona'ly sol
icited funds to take care of it,
and it is,not the most pleasant
task in the world. If you 'have
loved ones that are laid to rest in
this plot of ground and you care
to pay for the work of cleaning
off their graves and rounding
them up, you may hand,send, or
mail me a check for whatever
amount you want to pay.
Now friend, if you want this
good work continued, do not fail
to see that I get money to pay
for the work already done, Es-
pecially do 1 call upon those who
have moved away from Deport
to help. Send me a check right
now before you forget it. We
want a small amount from every
l person who is interested Yn the
cemetery. V. C. Oliver

Baptist Ladies Aid Meets
The Ladies Aid of the Baptist
Church met Monday afternoon^
at the home of the pastor, Rev.
J. E. Peaden.
The devotlional service was fol-
lowed by a social hour. The
Blues served delicious ice cream
and cake to fifteen regular mem-
bers and two visitors. The hour
was a very pleasant one.
We adjourned to meet at the
church our next regular meet-
ing which will be Monday after-
noon, June 21. All the ladies of
the church are invited to- attend
these meetings and all who will
may join us in our work.

Will They Unite?
It is said that in countries
where different denominations
have sent missionaries, a heathen
seeker after the truth is often
bewildered by messengers of
God because of the different
teachings concerning the same
Christ. All Protestant denomi-
nations claim to have but one 6b-
ject in view, that of saving souls
— but each takes a different
route toarrive at the same place.
Some of these days all these
great forces are going to consoli-
date. Only a few months ago
the mayor of a California towm
advocated having only one minis-
ter for all the people in the vill
age, and to pay his salary from
the city tax fund. Such men as
Chas. Stelzle, Gypsy Smith, Bil
lie Sunday, and many other good
men are assisting in making it
possible. The following from
the Honey Grove Signal is a
starter: “The women church
workers of Honey Grove have
federated their aid societies and
the first meeting of th§ federat-
ed societies was a brilliant suc-
cess. The movement will prove
very helpful in a general way,
and it will also do much to
strengthen the bonds between
Christian workers of the many
churches. If the Signal should
be asked regarding the next
move in church co-operation it
would say federate the prayer
meetings. Union prayer meet-
ing for ^ period of several
months would, in our humble
opinion, provt? a blessing to the
churches as organizations and
to the people of the town.”

Class Social
Tne young men’s class of the
Presbyterian Sunday School had
a social last Friday evening at
the home of Mrs. I. W. Teague
About two months ago they di
vided into two groupes to have a
membership and attendance con-
test, with the understanding
that the lossers were to treat
the winners. The result was a
tie. Each young man invited a
lady friend to the social and
about forty were present.
Games, music and refreshments
were indulged in and a splendid
time is reported.

In speaking of Dr. S. P.
Brooks, who lias announced as a
candidate for the U. S. Senate,
the Red River County News
says: “The candidacy of Dr.
Brooks may be of peculiar inter-
est to Red River County citizens
from the fact that when a boy he
picked cotton on the banks of
Red River in this county to ob-
tain money with which to ed
ucate himself.”
Dr. and Mrs. S. H. Grant took
Mrs. Grant’s Srfliday school
class, a class from the Beginners
Department,of the Presbyterian
Sunday School in their car to G.
W. Grant’s pasture at Rugby
for a picnic last Thursday.
There were lots of good tilings
for the hungry little folk and
the day was a happy one. Rus-
sel Grant who had spent a week
with his grandparents returned
home with them.
