Rev. S. M. Ownby, formerly of Pi-
lot Grove, died at his home in De-
troit Wednesday of last week. He
was a brother of E. C. Ownby of
Chillicothe, A. J. Ownby of Savoy

Earl Benson and Mrs. J. D. Lane, of

The following account of the death

in poor health for several months,
died at the family home in Detroit

Signal Versus Insult
A novel substitute for a motor I
horn has been invented by a French
engineer. In front of the driver is
placed a microphone; in this he whis-
pers any remark, and I it is repeated,
greatly magnified, through a loud
speaker.—Whitewright Sun.
.Let us hope the French horn will
ndt be introduced to this country. As
a pedestrian, State Press will object
to being told to get out of the way
when more important people are
bearing down on him in a car, no
matter how much more important
they are. He is willing to jump or
dodge when he is honked at, but he
would resent hearing himself ad-
dressed in ignoble language by a
truck driver, through the medium of
an amplifying microphone/ . He
Would be as mad. as a hatter, but not
know just what to do if he were to
hear himself spoken to by a fair
young motorist who made her mike
tell him he was a shambling nuisance
who should not be allowed to wan-
der around the streets without an at-
tendant. He could quarrel back at
the curled darling at the steering
wheel, but he couldn’t make his nat-
ural voice so audible as her magni-
fied microphone would be. The. ordi-
nary honk-honk of commerce does
not annoy the pedestrian—it only
scares him. He realizes that it is a
signal rather than an insult. But if
the time ever comes that drivers may
whisper into the steering wheel
words of criticism aimed at the foot-
ahd-ankle class, S. P. feels sure it
would be only a question of.time un-
til he would begin carrying rocks to
throw at some jazz janes who hate to
slacken speed when they see him
trying to negotiate a crossing with a
book under each arm and his whis-
kers blown east and west by the
north wind. Being a meditative
walker, with his mind’ a mile high,
State Press may still fret a lot at the
fast set, and, with ali bis calm com-
passion, he is not superior to a whim-
sical wish to wring a few necks on
occasion. — State Press in Dallas
News.

from the Bronx, “do women hold

This is a most timely question for anyone who will
have cotton to gin to ask himself just at this time. The
ginning season is close at hand, and it is very important
that the farmer carefully inform himself as to what gin-
ning service is offered in his town. We have the very
best cleaning machinery, and are prepared to handle
all lengths of staple. ; : = I

ing the revival the success it was.
Our large crowds at every service,
the attention given the speaker, the
interest manifested, and the free-will
offering given, speak louder than
any words could our profound ap-
preciation of Dr. W. R. White, and
of the massages given through him to
us.
The subscription of over $9,000.00,
including what we have, Sunday
morning demonstrates that our peo-
ple are in earnest about erecting a
building where God’s Word can be
taught, where souls can be won, and
where His Kingdom, can be estab-
lished in this and future generations.
The building committee will give
every member an opportunity to help

in the same beautiful spirit as to-
ward the revival meeting. And “The

RECEIVES ANOTHER
CAR OF FARMALLS
Manning, Clark & Meador, local
distributors for Farmall tractors, re-
ceived another car of Farmalls Mon-
day and have another car in transit.
This firm has sold a number of
Farmalls in the Whitewright section
during the past year. The .demand
seems to be growing for Farmalls,
and some predict that the time is not
in the far distance when there will
be a Farmall on almost every farm.

secretary of the American Cotton
Cooperative Association, will address
■ a meeting of farmers and business
men in Whitewright Friday night re-
garding membership in the Texas

best informed men in Texas on how

one interested in marketing cotton
should hear him.

Farmers in the Lower Valley of
fexas have been picking cotton for
•More than three weeks. According
to newspaper reports, the farmers
are paying sixty cents per hundred
for picking in that' section of the
state. Valley farmers meet each year
at the beginning of the /cotton season
and set the price for picking, and ad-
vance the price for picking as the
season advances. The price paid for
picking, according tq reports, is
based on the price ‘the staple will
bring on the market. ; •

Mr. and Mrs. James (Ferguson,
former governors ' Texas, will
speak at Whitesboro next 'Saturday. . - --
^ht. According 'kports; this
will be the only spiking for the’; totaled
Fergusons in Graysop; County' during ports f
the run-off campaign?’ Mr?.. Fergu-
son carried Whitesboro; in ’the first
primary election. Whitesboro is hear
the west line of Grayson Coiinty and
Whitewright near the east line,
which probably accounts for the dif-
ference in the Ferguson vote in the
two towns. In Whitewright Mrs.
Ferguson only received 35 votes out
of 320 polled in the last election,
and we predict here and now that
Whitewright will be the banner anti-
Ferguson town in Grayson County
on Aug. 23.
THANKS VOTERS
At this time I wish to express my
sincere appreciation for the splendid
vote which the people gave me in
the recent primary. Whitewright,
Tom Bean, Pilot Grove and Ken-
tuckytown gave me a total vote
of 424 which shows a majority of
119 votes over my opponent.
Expressing my confidence in the
The present price people and thanking them in advance
for their support in the next pri-
mary, I am,
Very truly,
J. R. WESTBROOK.
Nicholson’s prices are in line with the
present low wholesale prices, arid it
will pay you to compare our prices -
