T. C. Jenson, formerly an officer of
the Crawford National Bank, had a
preliminary hearing last Friday be-
fore United States Commissioner A.
P. MeCormiek at Waco. He is charg-
ed with forging and altering and at-
tempting to pass a forged and alter-
ed Liberty Bond. He was held in
$5,000 bond for his appearance at the
November term of the Federal Court
in Waco.
Jenson had an examining trial
here recently before Commissioner
MeCormiek on a charge of misap-
plying the funds of a national bank,
his bond on that charge "being fixed
$7,500. He formerly resided at Clif-
ton,
866 cures Bilious Fever.
Harold Standefer, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ross Standefer was pretty badly
bruised and (skinned up when the
horse he was driving to the market
delivery cart ran away with him last
Friday morning and threw him to the
street and dragged him. Harold is a
boy of much determination and "pep"
and would not allow a little thing like
a runaway to put him out of com-
mission, hence he was going as usual
soon after Dr. Coston had dressed his
wounds.—Clifton Record.
By Way of Suggestion.
Since we are without knowledge of
whether plans have already been
made for dedicating and naming the
new dormitory which is being erected
on the Meridian College campus, we
suggest that it be known as "Camp-
bell Hall" in memory of the late Rev.
George F. Campbell.
It was in the fertile mind of Rev.
George F. Campbell that Meridian
College first had its beginning. His
unceasing efforts were responsible
for its transformation from the dream
in his own mind to a genuine reality.
He fostered it and served it after it
had become a reality until it was
strong enough to attract other ca-
pable men to it and to stand upon its
own merits and its own reputation.
Then when his hope "had been realized
he modestly retired from active con-
nection with the school. Due to his
modesty in this respect, few students
and people outside are now ever re-
minded that he was the real father
of Meridian College.
George F. Campbell, who was at the
time serving as pastor of the Meri-
dian Methodist Church, made the first
suggestion of a training school for
the Gatesville district at a regular
meeting of the pastors of the district
held at McGregor in February, 1907.
Rev. Campbell, when several of the
pastors spoke favorably of his sug-
gestion, moved that the chair draft a
resolution expressing the sentiment
of the body. Rev. Campbell was ap-
pointed chairman of the resolution
committee, which after carefully con-
sidering the proposition, brought in a
resolution that the establishment of
such an institution be undertaken.
George F. Campbell submitted the
resolution to the district conference
held at Clifton, June 1907. Rev.
Campbell worked diligently to have
the school located at Meridian when
Gatesville, Turnersville and Clifton
were strongly bidding for it. Rev.
Campbell was appointed to the first
presidency of the school by the pre-
siding elder and Bishop Key, and af-
ter serving in that office for a year,
tendered his resignation. In 1917
he passed out of this world to his
Heavenly reward.
Deeming it justly due the memory
of Rev. George F. Campbell, we sug-
gest to the Board of Trustees of Me-
ridian College that sooner or "later
some fitting memorial should be placed
on the College campus in his honor;
and if plans have not already been
made for dedication of the new struc-
ture, we propose that no more fitting
memorial to this noble gentleman
could be erected than this magnificent
new building, officially christened
"Campbell Hall."
i Mrs. W. V. Od'ie and Miss May-
Richardson were hostesses to a "large
number of their friends at, the home
of the former on Tuesday evening.
"42" was the diversion of the even-
ing, and delicious watermelons were
served. The occasion ^was highly en-
joyed by all who attended.

Pungent Paragraphs By Grapho.
The question has been asked, "Will
the time ever come when a young
lady will require her fiance to exe-
cute a good and sufficient a'limony
bond before she will allow him to
lead her to the hymnal alter to pledge
eternal fidelity to him." This ques-
tion we cannot answer, but do say
without hesitation that if that had
been in force from the beginning ii
would have served as a relief to a
'great many women.
A gentleman said that there may be
room at the top, but too many of us
are too fond of the crowds. This
would indicate that only a few are
at the top, and that the great mass of
the people are still at the foot of the
hill, but it is not because they want
to remain in the big crowd "but be-
cause they have not the proper am-
bition to be somebody in the world.
On the 11th of this month about
25 representatives of state banks met
with Banking Commissioner Ed Hall
in Austin to arrange plans to ask
Governor Neff to submit about eight
amendments to the banking laws of
Texas. The most important, the
papers say, is to make it a criminal
offense for anyone to make a dam-
aging remark or statement against
a state bank. This seems to me to
have reached the climax in an effort
to debar men from transacting their
own business. I suppose that if a
man knew that a state bank was
stealing and squandering the people's
deposits he would not be allowed to
say a word a'buot it, "but just let them
take it on. What difference would
there be to this and the rule of the
Kaiser.

Sacred Harp Singers
Had Annual Meeting
The annual meeting of the Sacred
Harp Singing Convention of Bosque
County was held at this place last
Saturday and Sunday and will go
down in history as one of the best and
most enjoyable ever "held.
The officers of the Convention were:
James M. Robertson, president; R.
W. Royal, vice-president; R. D. Gib-
son, secretary„treasurer and B. A.
Burdett, chaplin.
The Convention was we'll attended
by visitors and leaders from different
parts of the county and also by many
nonresidents. Among the song lead-
ers and visitors from out of the
county were: H. A. Money, W. T.
Coston, Dave Chaffin, Young Daniels,
A. D. Jolly, of Dallas; W. D. Elder,
Carlton; J. H. Cook, Kerens; S. Z.
Moran and wife, J. E. Kay, Mr. Nor-
ris and wife, of Hubbard City; J. M.
Smith, Ben Hood, of Dublin; Ed
Stringer, Hico; L. G. Chaffin and son,
Therrie, of Fort Worth; Mrs. Sallie
Grantham, J. M. Shelley, Tom R.
Stewart, J. M. Simpson, Will Brock,
of Whitney; R. L. Dyess, San Angelo;
E, E. Currie, J. Y. Bright and wife,
M. C. Elliott and wife, S. P. Falkner
^nd wife, W. F. Lewis and wife, of
Rainbow, and many others whose
names we failed to learn.
The out of the county leaders of
song, in connection with our county
i&aders, R. W. Royal, Dave Appleby,
R, D. Gibson, Bill Phillips, Dan Cut-
birth, B. F. Burdett and others, gave
the Convention a large and strong
force of song leaders, and all the time
was consumed during the Convention,
with the exception of the business
session, in giving each a place on the
program.
It might not be amiss to say for the
benefit of those of our readers who
have never attended a Sacred Harp
singing, to say that when you "hear
this singing you listen to the old
songs of long ago—songs so much
beloved by your grandfathers, grand-
mothers, fathers and mothers, and it
naturally brings to your mind sweet
memories of long ago and touches a
tender place in your heart.
'The men who compose this Con-
vention are all over 50 years of age,
are religious, leaders in church work
and society where they live and the
songs they sing are religious.
Dinner was served on the court-
house lawn Sunday by the entertain-
ment committee and citizens and we
feel safe in saying that all did eat
until they had plenty and many bas-
kets full still remained.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the committee of arrangements, com-
posed of J. B. Coleman, Will Cabler,
L. H. King, E. Jenkins and George I.
Adams, and the citizens of Meridian
and vicinity for the delightful enter-
tainment.
It was indeed an enjoyable occasion
and we shall look with much pleasure
to the time when these people will
again meet in our city and charm all
hearers with the grand old songs of
long ago,

A strange dog, which was also act-
ing strange, queer or having fits, as
the case may have been, was used as
a target for Marshal H. W. Hering
and Will Golden Tuesday morning on
*the main streets of Clifton, when each
of them took several deliberate shots
at the poor unfortunate canine at
close range with their six shooters
without even as much as hitting said
pup. Some think these gentlemen
were too tender hearted to hit the
dog, believing it almost impossible for
them to miss him unless they did it
on purpose,—Clifton Record.

HAT'S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS—the Quality Cigarette,
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It's the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack-
age and keep it air-tight
And note this! There's nothing flashy about the
Camel package, No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco,
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga-
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them~
selves.

Riding wild horses seemed to be a

according to the Morgan News, and in
one instance was near being a serious
affair. A wild horse ridden by Hen-

knocking the horses down and getting
tangled up generally, "but fortunately
all got out without much danger.

Your Eyes.
Father may look like a "boy and
mother may look like her daughter's
sister, but as the years pass on a
slow but certain change takes place in
the interior of your eyes. A little
muscle begins to lose its activity and
then we find that the book or paper
must be "held farther and farther from
the eyes until at last the arms cannot
reach out any more. Judge Choate,
when on the bench, once told a lawyer
who was having difficulty in reading
from his brief, "My dear sir, for good-
ness sake, get a pair of tongs or a
pair of glasses."
This condition is known as Presby-
opia or old-sight and is one that is
met with in almost all people who
have passed the fortieth milestone.
It may occur earlier and in young peo-
ple may persist for a time and then,
after proper glasses have been worn,
disappear until later life.
The Optometrist carefully investi-
gates the condition of the muscles
both inside and outside of the eye and
whenever it is required he supplies
laid my means of correctly fitted and
adjusted glasses. The purchasers of
"that first pair of glasses" takes them
home with some misgivings but soon
finds that he can read like he did ten
years ago and his eyes feel so much
better than they did.
Surely if a man does this work cor-
rectly he is a benefactor of the human
race but if "he attempts it without ad-
equate training he is a faker and
scoundrel in the full sense of these
ugly words.

Temple, 'Texas, July 19.—The latest
'device in use here for extermination
of the boll weevil is a machine that
electrocutes the pests. A high volt-
age current is applied to the cotton
plant and, it is said, destroys the
eggs and larvae and, at the same
time, gives the adult weevil .a fearful
jolt, causing them to fall from the
plant to the ground, where they are
covered by the plows which are set
la few inches behind the machine.
