First Methodist Church at Troup
Tuesday evening. The opening ser-
mon was delivered by Rev. 0. W.

kiss of Oakwood is secretary. At the
business session Tuesday evening

Jacksonville were elected delegates
to represent the district at the annual
conference at Orange.
More than 125 ministers, delegates
and visitors had registered by Wed-
nesday noon for the conference here.
Many had not registered at that
time, and from this fact conference
leaders estimate that the total at-
tendance has , probably already
reached 150. Other visitors are ex-
pected to arrive for the session Wed-
nesday evening.
The hospital branch of the church
is represented by Rev. D. H. Hotch
kiss of Houston, superintendent of
the Methodist hospital there. Rev.
Glenn Flinn of Georgtown is repre-
sentative of the church’s educational
interest, and Tom Acker of Jackson-
ville represents the work of Metho-
dist laymen. Rev. W. G. Gray of
Waco Methodist Orphanage is another
special representative.
The Troup Chamber of Commerce,
through the work of Secretary John
T. Floore, is extending courtesies and
accommodations to the delegates and
leaders. In this hospitality, Troup
people have shared liberally, having
opened their homes to the delegates
and visitors, who have met with a
cordial reception while visiting the
city.

Highway Commission has approved
plans for bridges across the Trinity

BURGLARS MAKE SECOND VISIT
TO MT. SYLVAN—STEAL SAFE
Mt. Sylvan, April 19—On Wednes-
day night burglars pried open the
front doors of the post-office build-
ing here and took therefrom the safe
in which the valuables of the office
and of the Postmaster were kept.
They dragged the safe by a cable at-
tached to a car, carrying it about
three-fourth of a mile east on the
Tyler road. Here on the road side
they pried it open and took from it
the cash, checks, some of the stamps
and other items of its contents,
among the latter being land deeds,
insurance policies and other docu-
ments which Postmaster Patrick was
keeping in It. The postoffice re-
cord books, money order forms and
other papers of that character were
left undisturbed.
The following morning, as Post-
master Patrick and Rural Carrier
Milling were on their way to Tyler
to wire the Department, they dis-
covered some of the missing papers
and coin sacks in Prairie Creek.
Deputy Sheriff Gregory arrived on
the scene and with the aid of a col-
ored man recovered the contents of
safe which had been thrown into the
creek. At this time no clue to the
identify of the burglars has been an-
nounced.
Three business houses here were
entered by burglars the preceding
week, but nothing of value was miss-
ed. It is believed that the postoffice
burglary was most probable commit-
ted by the same parties. :

FINDS MUNG BEANS FINE
LEGUME AND STOCK FEED
As a source of nitrogen, the mung
bean offers superior advantages to
the East Texas farmer, according to
W. J. Ward of Route 5, Troup. Mr.
Ward claims that the bean is fine for
feeding stock. He said the mung
bean is largely drouth-resistant and
very prolific.
Mr. Ward planted the bean last
year as an experiment. He estimates
that a forth acre on his farm produc-
ed more than 1 1-2 tons of hay from
the mung bean. The bean does bet-
ter, he found, as a seed producer, if
planted in three-foot rows in hills six
inches apart, one to three beans to
the hill, or about three pounds of
seed to the acre. For a forage crop,
he recommends that five pounds of
beans be sown broadcast to the acre.
The bean is cultivated in practically
the same way as a field pea. The
seed may be planted anytime between
now and the middle of July, he said.:

TROUP C. OF C. DOES
FINE WORK FOR TOWN
(Contributed).
As the Troup. Chamber of Com-
merce is putting on a drive for new
members; and, as we feel that this
organisation is doing a good work
for Troup and the surrounding terri-
tory, we are giving below some of the
things it has done, and Is now work-
ing for:
The first big item was the Troup
fair which was held on July 29 and
30 of last year. It was the first
fair to be held in Troup for several
years. Altho only a short time was
had in which to arrange for it, a
very creditable fair was held. It is
the plan of, the Chamber of Com-
merce to hold the fair each year, and
to see that it expands each year un-
til it reaches a point that it will be
ranked as the best little fair in Tex-
as.
The next thing the Chamber of
Commerce did was to purchase and
erect a number of road signs which
directed the buying public to Troup,
and it is reasonable to say that these
signs have already more than paid
for themselves.
The Chamber of Commerce encour-
aged the tomato growers to increase
their acreage, and encouraged more
farmers to enter into the tomato busi-
ness. This work was done to bene-
fit! the farmers and the business men
of Troup. The chamber is now busy
securing buyers and loading facilities
to handle our 500 to 600 acres of to-
matoes which will begin moving on
the markets soon. The body has the
assurance of securing two of the larg-
est buyers in the State, and probably
more will be here fa the market in
time to provide Troup truck grow-
ers with a good competitive tomato
market. .
The Chamber of Commerce also
sent more than 100 citizens to a meet-
ing at Longview March 23, when the
East Texas Chamber of Commerce
was organized
The Chamber of Commerce also
paid a premium for the first, second
and third bales of cotton marketed in
Troup last season.
The Chamber of Commerce also
had an exhibit at the East Texas Fair
at Tyler last fall that won • $25
prize. The same exhibit was sent
to the Texas Cotton Palace at Waco,
where it won another prize.
The Chamber of Commerce erected
a concrete water trough near the cot-
ton yard at Troup for the conven-
ience of farmers in watering their
teams. A
The Chamber of Commerce also
sponsored the organization of the vol-
unteer fire department thru the gen-
erous assistance of Fire Chief Burns
of the Tyler fire department. The
organization recenty purchased a fire
truck which will soon be ready for
delivery and donation to the City of
Troup.
The Chamber of Commerce has a
committee appointed to investigate
the matter of securing a cotton com-
press for Troup.
At a recent meeting the chamber
voted to take over maintenance of
the Troup Concert Band until Jan.
1, 1927, estimating that the band is
one of the best boosters Troup has
ever had. Troup will soon have a fif-
ty-piece band that will at all times
be ready to go at the call of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber also helped to wel-
come the Dallas and Shreveport boos-
ters, and is helping entertain the dele-
gates to the District Methodist Con-
ference, in session at Troup.
The body donated liberally to the
colored demonstration contest spon-
sored by G. C. Crouch, the colored
county demonstration agent. The or-
ganization also agreed to supplement
the salaries of the County Agent and
the County Home Demonstration
Agent at request of the Smith coun-
ty agricultural committee.
Join the Troup Chamber of Com-
merce now and become an active
booster. .

Rusk, April 20—The commissioners
court of Cherokee county passed an
order, employing W. L. Knapp as
county agricultural agent.
Mr. Knapp has been stationed in
Jacksonville for the last two years as
local agent.
Agricultural interests of the county
have advanced to such a stage that
the court decided it necessary to em-
ploy a county agent with office at
the county seat.

mediately to assume his new duties.

lege and formerly member of federal

TROVP POULTRY
CLUB ORGANIZED
Will Foster Plans For Community
Hatchery; Promote Develop-
ment of Industry
A poultry club was organised at
Troup Saturday afternoon and the
following officers elected: Mrs. U. A.
Potter, president; Mrs. I. T. Salmon,
vice president; Mrs. L. E. Burns, sec-
retary-treasurer. Regular meetings
will be held on the third Saturday
of each month, it was decided. The
next meeting, on Saturday, May 15,
will be held in the K. of P. Hall at
Troop, unless changes are made in
present plans.
The initial undertaking by the club
will be the erection here of a com-
mercial hatchery of a capacity suffi-
cient to supply the needs of poultry
raisers in the Troup section. To car-
ry out that plan, shares to form a
capital stock of 35,000 are being sold
by a committee appointed Saturday
for that purpose.
As soon as enough shares are sold
to comply with the law governing
coporations, application will be
made to the Secretary of State for a
charter. It is understood that! share
holding in the corporation here is not
limited to poultry raisers, but that
shares will be offered to business and
professional men and others.
The corporation, although related
generally to the poultry club, is tech-
nically a separate unit. No member
of the poultry club is obligated to
buy stock in the corporation. A drive
for membership is being made by a
committee, appointed for that pur-
pose by L. E. Burns, who presided
at the meeting here Saturday. :
THE TROUP BAND THANKS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The officers, directors and mem-
bers of the .Troup Concert Band take
this means of thanking the Troup
Chamber of Commerce for pledging
the support of the Band for the re-
mainder of the year.
We want to assure you that this
is highly appreciated and that we
will at all times pledge our.support
to the activities of the chamber of
commerce.
In the past we have tried to please
all who were interested in our welfare
and will in the future be ready at all
times to play for any booster trips
or demonstrations headed by the
chamber of commerce.
€ The Troup Concert Band was or-
ganized primarily to help boost
Troup. That has been our one aim
and we wish to say that we are first,
last and always for the betterment of
Troup and its trade territory.
Let us all “set our shoulders to the
wheel”, and make Troup the place
it should be among the towns of Tex-
as.' It is already the “Best little
town in East Texas.”
. The Troup Concert Band,
. 0. C. McDonald, Pres.
