quests the presence of all the church
membership at the Sunday afternoon
service, as a change of time for wor-
ship is to be considered.

ing upon the numerous wants of the

Mrs. E. S. Tracy, parliamentarian

the distinction of being the only per-
son in Texas who has written a book
on “Parliamentary Rules.”
Mr. and Mrs. Ira Greer desire to
express their heartfelt thanks to their
many friends, who during the illness
of their baby, were so watchful and
helpful to their needs during their
trouble, and the kindness shown will
ever be a sweet memory for them
and the loss of their darling little one
is softened by the consoling words
of those who mourned with them.
The embargo placed on our veg-
• etable shippers by the floods in Cen-
tral Texas has been a very costly one
as no shipments have been made to
North Texas points for the past week.
The orders for vegetables from Dal-
las, Fort Worth, Waco, and other
points have been many, but none
could be filled on account of no train
service to those places.
County Commissioner Deats is
getting his lines fixed for a general
movement on the new roads that will
be shelled during the coming winter
months. He will begin grading with-
in the next few days and will have
as much of the work done before
rainy weather sets in as possible. He
proposes that each community gets
as much of the good roads as the ap-
propriation will allow and no town
will be left out, but all share alike.
