Directors of the State Fair of
Texas will, at an earlv meeting,
consider the advisability of a
“dry” Fair this year. I t i s
claimed that the sale of liquors
at the Fair does not make money
and that the bar does not add to
the benefits of the Fair.
The town of Deport, in Lamar
County, has a mayor, a board of
five aldermen and a city marshal,
all of whom serve their town
without compensation. The city
marshal is wealthy and although
his duties call for much work
and exposure to danger, he de-
clines payment for his services.
Here is very commendable pat-
riotism andspiritof self-sacrifice,
but we wonder if all the people
who are served without pay ap-
preciate the services given them.
Doubtless you can find in Deport
some who put in most of their
time ‘cussing the officials. If
there are not such, then Deport
is different from most towns and
has great cause to rejoice over
her citizenship.—Honey Grove
Signal.
A fishing party composed of
Elmer and Roy Nobles, Col. G.
I. Terrell, V. C. Oliver,Rev. Pea-
den,Roger Kelsey and the writer,
s|>ent Monday and Tuesday on
Terry I^ake. Between 150 and
175 pounds of fish e and four
squirrels were sacked, also a
large fifty-pound soft-shelled
turtle. That prince of camp
men, V. C. Oliver, made a good
dish from the tortdtse. It con-
tained turtle meat, corn bread,
bacon, salt, pepper, onions, and
a few other things. He called it
—!x?mz *z: We asked
how the name was spelk 1, but
the fat man’s pipe had gone out
and we were not enlightened
About seventy-five soft, white-
shelled eggs were taken from
the turtle and cooked, but the
writer could not put them down
They tasted too much like mud.
Deport experienced her first
Dollar Bargain Days last Friday
and Saturday. The farmers
were not all. up with their work
and there was not a very large
crowd hexe Friday, although the
dr goods stores and two gro-
ceis reported a good business
that day. About 11 o’clock Sat
urday morning the crowd began
to arrive, and by three o'clock
Main street was crowded, some
reaching Deport as late as 4:30.
Practically every line of business
in the town was represented,
and with three exceptions, all re-
imrted the best spring day busi-
ness for years. Taking into
consideration the fact that this
was Deport’s first Dollar Days,
that the farmers were not all up
with their work,and the scarcity
of money in the country, Deport
merchants and mechanics were
well pleased with the results,
and we are sure the bargain
hunters are. Deport is going to
have another Dollar Day. Keep
your eye on The Times.

The Deport Times
Commencement is here.
Several have asked us why the
closing exercise of a graduat-
ing class is called commence-
ment. We know not how the
word originated. Perhaps tiie
fact that it is a time when the
graduate leaves behind ^he things
of preparation to begin the ac-
tual battle of life, has had some-
thing to do with it. Commence-
ment with the graduates is a
happy time, and also a sad one.
Happy because they realize they
have attained something
for which they have labored
long and hard; sad, because
of the breaking up of the class
and separation.

LIV-VER-LAX
All the Effectiveness, Not the Ef-
fect of Calomel.
Liv-Ver-Lax Is one of the most
important medical discoveries of
recent years. For a long time
medical experts, realising the
harmful effects of calomel, have
been striving to find a liver
cleanser that would be just as ef-
fective as calomel, and yet be ab-
solutely harmless iu its action.
Recently this remedy was ac-
tually put forth by L. K. Grigs-
by in his Liv-Ver-Lax.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless veg-
etable compound, designed sole
ly for the treatment of liver com-
plaints. The immediate favor
it has met with in thousands of
homes is proof positive of its
real value.
If you feel worn out, tongue
coated, and skin sallow, don’t
delay until it becomes dangerous,
nip the trouble in the bud with
Liv Ver Lax. Insist on the genu-
ine, beating the signature and
likeness of L. K. Grigsby, which
is guaranteed to give st’isfac
tion or money refunded. For
sale by E. O. Thompson.—Adv.

We are at considerable
extra expense, operating
through package cars from
Dallas and St. Louis afford-
ing you from oue to three
days better service than
you can otherwise receive.
We are not receiving the co-
operation of our patrons
which we feel we should, as
these cars are ope rated
solely with a view of giving
you better service, and un-
less you instruct future
shipments from those
points via Cotton Belt, we
will be forced to discon-
tinue this service.
