Seventeen automobiles loaded
with 67 citizens of that place
and the Daingerfield band of
twenty pieces visited Deport
Tuesday morning to advertise
the Talco Community Fair,
which will be held Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of next
week. After several numbers
by the band, S. A. Tidwell
made a short talk, inviting our
people to the fair and assuring
us of a hearty welcome.
Albert Hutchinson, president
of the Deport Community Club,
responded, thanking them for
the invitation, and assuring
them that many of our people
would be present. Cold drinks
were served the visitors, and
they left for Detroit, Clarks-
ville and other points.
For several years Talco has
conducted one of the best com-
munity fairs in Northeast
Texas, and they are going to
repeat again this year, accord-
ing to Mr. Tidwell.

Mrs. R. S. Seay, 67, died at
her home at Blossom Saturday
following an illness of six years.

A Ford roadster driven by
Roy Bunch of Clardy, was
turned over and badly damaged
when it struck the banister of
a culvert near the G. R. Rucker
home, north of Deport, Satur-
day night. The accident was
said to have occurred when the
lights of the car went out. Be-
sides the driver, Jack Short,
Joe and J. D. Williams, Jack
Parker, and Charley Weaver,
all of Clardy, were in the car.
Short was severely bruised and
shaken up but none of the oc-
cupants were seriously injured.
The state tax rate Friday
was fixed at 68 cents when the
automatic tax board set the
school tax at 31 cents after
previously having decided to
levy a 30 cent ad valorem tax
for general fund purposes and
a seven cent Confederate pen-
sion tax.
The new rate is four cents
higher than that which has
been in effect during the past
year.
If you want your business attended to in
the best possible way, we invite your
patronage.

Sargon Brought Health
“Sargon restored my health at a time when I thought
nothing could help me,” recently stated Frank Bennett
of 905 Macon St., Fort Worth. His statement follows:
“My troubles started two years ago when I commenced
to suffer with indigestion. I lost my appetite and what
little I ate caused me lots of misery. I suffered with
gas pains around my heart, and could taste my food for
hours. I seldom got a good night’s sleep and was so
nervous at times that I would shake all over. I took
lots of medicines and treatments with no lasting benefit.
“Then I tried Sargon. My appetite returned and my
strength and energy began to come back wlith the first
bottle. Now I sleep fine, eat anything, and everything
agrees with me. I have gained nine pounds.
Sargon may be obtained in Deport at

The county board of educa-
tion had gummed the works,
and it was up to Deport to pull
out. The board passed a reso-
lution last spring consolidating
several nearby rural schools
with Deport Independent dis-
trict for high school purposes.
Upon the strength of that
action the local board employ-
ed B. B. Hutson to teach
vocational agriculture.
The county board two weeks
ago rescinded its action when it
was learned there were six
more scholastics, including all
the negroes in the district, than
was permitted by law.
This action effectively killed
the prospects of Deport’s board
being financially able to employ
a vocational teacher, and Mr.
Hutson was considering other
offers, when Mr. Davis came to
Deport, met members of the
board and the business men
and offered to pay three-fourths
of Mr. Hutson’s salary to get
the work introduced into the
school here for the first year.
The local board and the busi-
ness men agreed to raise the
other $650 to retain Mr. |
Hutson’s services. F
