THE PASSING OF

Robert Davenport. sou of-Pr. and
Mm. R. G. Davenport died last Fri-
day mor-ing July 1. about 9 o'clock
at the Protestant Hospital at Fort
Worth.
pn June 24 he was taken sick with
an attack of appendicitis and on the
lext day. Saturday he was hurried off
to the Protestant Hospital at Fori
1 Worth under the care of Dr. Ponton
where it seemed he was considerably
Improved up until the day before his
leath
His body was shipped from Fort
Werlii to Colorado where it was in-
terned and last sad rites said by Dev.
O. R Hard-on pastor First Chrlstlnn
chuxta of Colorado. A larg -n-course
of people had assep i from
Colorado and about 25 or :'.o cars all
full made up the delegation from
'.lyder. to pay the last tribute of re-
spect Rro. Hardlson delivered a
aching address and then the. floral
ottering showed the high esteem in
which the departed one was held by
his many friends who had assembled
at the graTe.
I Robert was a young man Just Urn-
I ty-ome years of age. Just beginning
life as It were and his sudden demls'
ha caused a gloom to fall over the
' entire community In w hich ho lived.
A pleasing and good natured dis-
position was his characteristic and
" waa often commented on by his asso-
j ciate1 and those with whom he met
' each day la a business as well as so-
: ciai way.
H-a was devoted to parents and
loved the asaoclatlons of home rather
than the frlvllous things of life
At the time of his death" he was
bookkeeper at the First Natlonat
Bank and had held other position
of trust. His keen business ability and
pleasant disposition peculiarly fitted
Am for positions 0f trust and his pro-
motion would have been rapid.
Hobert will be missed by his many
friends at Snyder and elsewhere and
though absent the memory of his bis
heartedness and his kind and affec-
tionate disposition shall ever linger in
th hearts of his associates and
f rinds. -
We are reminded that death Is no
inspector of persons that It plucks
th youth as well as the old that In
the mlust of life there Is death. Rut
Leartaches will be healed by the ever
r -curing memories of the beautiful
( of the one who has passed away.

Scurry County Crops
Editor Signal: ..
I have talked w ith men from differ-
ent parts of the county and all seem
optimistic over the present outlook
for a bumper crop tb is year. Quite
number say they have a feed crop al-
ready In sight sufficient to run them
another year. I note also that they al-
most unanimously speak of their good
gardens and poulry and there are
very few but w ho have hogs to make
their meat for another year and mauy
of them will have some to spare. I
was out this week Inveslgatlng the
tornado damage done on a windmill
and took occasion to go over the
farmer's crop. I noticed in particular
th manner in which he had diversi-
fied his crop. He has cotton from an-
He high to over knee high. He plant-
ed so as to bring his crop along in
a graduated way by that means be
has been able to keep his crop in good
clean condition. He has malse from
knee higli to that which isj headed
out. then his kaftir corn Is of differ-
ent ages He has two ages of Indian
corn which surely looks like it woulj
nia.k well. Then he has about s-ren

acres of Sudan grass which is young
but very fine. I noticed that his larg-
est rotton was heavily loaded w ith
forms and some blooms were begin-
ning to open. The more I looked at his
crop the more I believed iu diversifi-
cation of crops.
I believe thai any farmer who will
dlvrsify his crop and raise a few
stock good stock I mean for it is
just as cheap to raise a fine HolsteU
0r Jersey calf as it is to raise a scrub
there will always b a' market toe a
good milk cow.
Mr. Stroud tint man's crop over
alien I was looking has registered
Holstein cattle and they are certainly
fin. They nre not for sale but If you
want to look at milk cows worth
while he lives ten miles west of Sny-
der go and see them. It will enthuse
you for better stock. No qustion but
that It w ill pay Scurry county farmers
l0 wake up on this line.
If I were capable of giving ad rice
I would say diversify crops quit so
much cotton give more attention to
good stock aud poultry and don't for-
get the garden.
