City Council Meeting.
The city council met in regu-
lar session Monday night and
transacted the usual routine
business of allowing accounts,
etc. Among other things done
at this session was the appoint-
ment of Mayor W. A. Spangler
as purchasing agent for the city
of Bonham. Henceforth no bills
JV accounts will be allowed by
the council ' unless tbe order
for same is signed by the pur-
chasing agent.
There has not as yet nor will
there likely be a night watch-
man appointed to fill the place
made vacant bv the death of J,
W. McKee, as Mayor Spangler
deems it a useless expense to the
citv to have three night police-
men.
The fire limits were enlarged
at their meeting and the mayor
was authorized to purchase 500
feet of additional hose should he
deem it necessary.
Miss Virginia Hearne, State
secretary of the C. W. B. M.,

Brakeman Hurt.
J. Miller, brakeman on the M.
K. & T. local, was pretty badly
hurt Thursday, while switching
in the local yards. The top hand
hold on a box car upon which he
was climbing, broke and he fell
to the ground, striking upon a
big clinker. He was given med-
ical attention, after which he
was sent to his home at Denison.
Miller, it is feared, suffered in-
ternal injurfe as a result of the
fall.

It was thought at first that bis
a very serious
but such was not the
case, and he will soon be able to
be up and around as usual.

Sunday School Notes.
Few towns in Texas the size of
Bonham can show 1174 in actual
attendance in the Sunday schools.
Tnat was last Sunday’s record
but it was not the highest we
have had.
All of the Sunday schools of
the city have designated the
22nd »s Bonham Sunday School
Dav. An attempt will be made
to have 2500 in attendance that
day. Everybody in the town is
invited. Select your Sunday
school and be there. You will
be welcome. It is hoped that the
number will be reached. If you
are not a pupil go as a visitor—
GO. • All schools will have
splendid music and it will be a
great day for Bonham.
Sunday the 15th, will be De-
cision Dav at the First Christian
Sunday school. Deciding for
Christ is a glorious time in the
life of anyone.
A young lady who has been
away from Bonham quite a good
deal of late was approached
Wednesday by a Sunday school
worker and an invitation to at-
tend bundav school was given.
She said, “I think you are about
the 400th person who has asked
tne to attend Sunday school since
I returned. I never saw anything
like it. I won’t be here next
Sunday, but I will be there the,
22nd— I have to go in self de-
fense. I never saw such a town
as Bunham for Sunday school
work. You must ask everybody
to go to Sunday school for I have
heard lots of people say they had
been asked to come a number of
times* I certainly will enjoy go-
ing tiecause when people are
anxious enough abott you to in-
vtie you to go, I am sure I will
enjoy the service.”
