Meeting Of Stonewall County
Singing Convention at Pea-
cock.
The Stonewall County Singing
Convention met at Peacock Sun-
day in an all day singing. There
was a large crowd out, and Pea-
cock gaye them a royal enter-
tainment. Quite a number went
from Aspermont. and when the
train stoppod at Swenson it look-
ed like the whole population was
there to take the train, some-
tning like thiny or forty people
got on there. We reached the
cltv of Peacock a little after elev-
en o'clock and the town was alive
With people. Brother F. T.
Johnson fired the first gun in a
speech on music, and we want to
say that brother Johnson made a
real good talk on that subject.
At the close of this talk the sing-
ing convention opened proper
and the woods rang with vocal
and instrumental music. At 12
o'clock they adjourned for din-
ner to meet again at two o'clock.
The editor had the pleasure of
dining with Mr. and Mrs. P. B.
Harling, and they had every-
thing good to eat. Mrs. Har-
ling is a fine cook, which was evi-
denced by the way the guest re-
lished the food. At two o'clock
the singing conveniion convened
again and got down to bnsiness.
We want to say that the Stone-
wall County Singing Convention
is one of our fixtures, and how
they can sing. It made us think
of the years gone by when peo-
ple opened their mouths and
sang sure enuf. At the close of
the convention new officers were
elected for another vear. W, H.
Wood was elected president and
H. A. Carter was elected Secre-
tary. The next meeting will be
the second Sunday in June,
meeting Saturday night before.
The convention will meet with
the Center View people. You
do not want to miss this meeting
for it will be great. The. people
of Center View sure know how
to entértain. We will put them
on notice now that the editor of
the Star will be there, so put our
name in the pot. Remember the
time and the place—second Sun-
day in June at Center View.
Our Trip To Center View.
On last Thursday evening at
one thirty in company with
County Supt. D. M. Oldham we
got behind Ball and started for
Center View to attend a picnic
dinner given by the citizens of
that community at the school
building Friday. About seven
o'clock Thursday evening we
droye up to the hospitable home
of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Goodrich
about two miles west of Center
View. At this place we spent
the night, and we were enter-
tained royally, made to feel at
home. Leon has one of the
best farms in the county, "has a-
bout four hundred acres in culti-
vation and it looks like a garden.
Besides this farm Leon has seve-
ral hnndred acres in pasture,
well stocked with white faced
cattle. He has one of the best
farm homes in the county, good
barn, full of feed and bogs in the
pen. It looked to us like sure e-
nough living. He has about five
acres in orchard and vineyard.
Well after spending a pleasant
night, Friday morning we drove
over to Center View where we
spent the day. Prof. A. C.
Woodburn and wife have charge
of this school, and it is a good
one. Prof. Woodburn has been
here three years, and during
that time has built up a splendid
school. At noon time quite a
number of the citizens gathered
in ane we had dinner on the
ground, and we want to say that
the ladies of Center View cer-
tainly know how to cook, they
had dinner and to spare. After
dinner the school children enter-
tained the visitors with speeches
and declamations, and the boys
and girls did it well. At the close
of the exercises Supt. D. M. Old-
ham made the school a fine prac-
tical talk along the line of mak-
ing a strong country school. We
want to say that Center View is
an ideal community. It is com-
posed of a fine citizenship, and
they all co-operate together in all
things that tend to the upbuild-
ing of the community. They
are going to enlarge their school
house for the next term, that is
that is their intentione now.
Leon Goodrich says that the
Star is badly mistaken about Bra-
zos Valley being the Bread trey
of Stonewall county, he savs it is
Center View. Never in all of
our life have we seen farmers so
busy as now, they are sure mak-
ing medicine while the sun shin-
es.
Married.
On Tuesday May 16th, 1913 in
the city of Ferris, Mr. George
Finley and Miss Ethel Férrell
were joined in the holy bonds of
wedlock. This wedding was
quite a surprise to all, and espec-
ially the editor of the Star, when
the news was abruptly broken to
us, we like to have collapsed—it
was so sudden and unexpected.
This couple have been sweet-
hearts a long time, so long that
we bad about given up hopes,
but the unexpected happened
and they stole a march on their
many freinds and got married.
Everybody on earth knows Geor-
ge Finley, he is one of our best
young men, has a bright future
before him, is now a medical stu-
dent, is a talented young man
and ere long will grace the medi-
cal profession with his valuable
services. Miss Ethel was one of
Aspei mont s most accomplished
young women, she had the qual-
ties that go to the making of a
splendid voung woman. For sev-
eral years she had charge of the
dress goods department at Brv-
ant Link Co's. About a moi
ago she accepted a situation
a mercantile firm at Ferris, an<
it looked like that she was forev-
er lost, to Aspermont. But not
so, cupid got busy and upset all
plans and on the date above men"
tioned this handsome couple
plighted their vows in wedlock.
Maythe godof prosperity at
happiness follow their foot steps
down life's wedded trail. c ¡
