HUNDREDS ENJOY
PROGRAM AT LIONS
PARK TUESDAY EVE.
#
One of the nicest affairs of the sea-
son, was the dedication ceremonies
held by the Lions Club at the Lions
Park, Tuesday evening In which the
clufo formally presented the park to
the general public, and for the public
use. Of the five or six hundred peo-
ple attending the exercises, there
were quite a number who reside in
other sections of the city and did not
know of the beauty spot that had been
converted from a weedy lot Into one
of the prettiest and most convenient
recreation parka In the* city. They
were most agreeably surprised and i
iaige number of visitors expressed
their intention of visiting the park at
every opportunity.
With closely mown grass, green
and velvety to the touch, giant shade
trees bordering the brook, water foun-
tains, vine covered arbor surrounding
the band stand, piny ground equip-
ment, benches and tables for lunches,
etc., the1 park presents a most Inviting
appearance and one »au hardly resist
spending a goodly part of his time en-
joying the rest and recreation offered.
B. F. Cherry, who has been largely in-
strumental in bringing the park up to
Its present high state of perfection,
was warmly applauded when Presi-
dent Edgar expressed appreciation for
h)3 untiring labors and expenditures
in equipping the park as it is. Ward
Bankhead, who so generously present-
ed the city with the property several
months’ ago, received the hearty
thanks of the large crowd.
The Weatherford Band opened the
ceremonies with a short concert of
three or four beautiful numbers, and
then retired when some of the mem-
bers were compelled to return to their
business, and others remained to en-
joy the remainder of the program.
Sam Losh, the famous musician and
song leader of Fort Worth, wag pres-
ent and led the sing song, instead of
McCrary, who was unable to be pres-
ent. Under his leadership the audi-
ence sang a number of familiar songs
and learned a special number that
Sam brought over with him from Fort
Worth entitled “And Thai’s The Soup
Rr.g.” Mayor Nolan Queen was Intro-
duced by T. P. Everett, master of cer-
emonies, and in a few words recount-
ed the history of the park and com-
plimented the Lions club on Its Im-
provement. winding up with a formal
presentation of the park to the club
to maintain and operate for the gen
eral welfare. President of the club,
W. M. Edgar, accepted the charge and
gave a brief history of the club since
It war formed, a little more than one
year ago. Mrs. T. P. Everett read a
poem of her own composition that
was indeed good and was written as
a history of the accomplishments of
the Lions Club In the past and as a
prediction of what the club will ac-
complish In the future. Mrs. Everett
has gained an enviable reputation as
a composer and as a reader, and she
was given rapt attention as she re-
cited the poem last night.
Julln C. Hyer, of Fort Worth, Inter-
national Director of the Lions Clubs,
spoke for a short time upon the fun-
damentals of Lionism and recounted
a number of things various clubs in
the United States have done, to show
the aims and purposes of each club
of the international organization. He
gave as an illustration, the fact that
the Fort Worth Lions Club, through
collective and Individual efforts, have
placed thirty-five small boys of ex-
tremely poor families in the Lubin
Camp near that city, where they are
given recreation, nourishing food and
enloy all of those things that boys of
more moderate circumstances can
have. He told of how the Lions Club
in Memphis, Tennessee had establish-
ed a school for the small boys who
were denied admittance to the public
schools because of being afflicted
with tuberculosis, and the mainten
ance of the school and sanitarium In
connection through the subscription of
the club and Individual members. He
said that one hundred of these boys
had been cured of the dread disease
and returned to the public schools,
and that the good work is still going
ou. Mr. Hyer Is a most fluent speak-
er and his talk was Interesting to
everyone present.
ISAAC PARKER FARMS
IN TWO COUNTIES
TO GROW ALFALFA
WAGON LOADS MELONS
SHIPPED ON TUESDAY
The Parker Farm, one of the histo-
ric spots of Tarrant County, of the
State of Texas. In fact, has been sold
by Duk« Parker, a blood relation of
Cynthia Ann Parker, to C. C. Peters.
1619 Pennsylvania Avenue, It was an-
nounced Monday.
Bought by Isaac Parker, pioneer
after whom Parker county was named
in 1352. it has been in possession of
the Parker family until the purchase
by Peters. The farm, one of the beau-
ty spots of the county, is six miles
northeast of Fort Worth, on the Bird-
ville road. The 656 acres was pur-
chased for $66,500. It adjoins anoth-
er farm owned by Peters. He will
plant alfalfa on his new land.
The organisation and development
of two best counties in the State,
Tarrant and Parker, can be traced
back to this plot Isaac Parker, sol-
dier, statesman, farmer, frontiersman,
settled there in 1853. He was a sol
dier in the Creek Indian war under
TEST WELL ON LIPAN
ROAD IS REPORTED
DOWN 3,700 FEET
Nearly five hundred wagon loads
of water melons were weighed over
the public scales Tuesday, the best
day of the present season, enough
melons to load between 40 and 45
cars. Forty one cars were actually
billed out by the local railway agents
and enough other cars were started
loading to bring the total up to 45
and possibly more. A. B. Crow
public weigher stated that he had not
accurate count of the number of wag-
ions weighed, bat at five o’clock esti-
mated that he had weighed 450 wag-
ons and two or three dozens loads
>came after that time. The average
wagon hauls from one ton to a ton
and one half, bringing from $15.00 to
$35.00 per load.
Fort Worth street was completely
cut off from traffic for two or three
hours Tuesday morning, with wagons
three and four abreast lined up from
the scales to the public square. This
•8tieet was crowded and jammed until
Andrew Jackson, then again in theiafternoon, when a majority of the
Civil War. Parker was a congress-
man in the Texas Republic, later a
member of the legislature when the
republic became a state. He came to
Texas from Illinois in 1833. His
niece, Cynthia Ann Parker, was cap-
tured at the battle of Fort Parker
Groesbeck County, when nine, and
held by the Comanches for 25 years.
She lived on the historic farm a short
time after her recapture.
She was the mother of Quanah Par-
ker, Comanche chief, who died in 1910.
The original Parker home, more
than 75 years old, still stands. A lit-
tle plot well covered with marble
slabs inarkg the old Parker family
cemetery.—Star-Telegram.
Parker county like Tarrant, has an
Isaac Parker farm which is located a
few miles east of Weatherford on the
Clear Fork. This was the place se’
lected for a home by Isaac Parker
after he had sold the farm In Tarrant,
county, near Birdville, and moved to
Parker county. This farm was split
into three parts and divided among
the children of Mr. and Mrs. Parker
and two of these three parts have now
passed into other hands, but the
third part is still owned by the Sikes
heirs, who are the children of Mrs.
Sallie Parker Sikes; and the grand-
children of Isaac Parker.
The old farm in Tarrant county, it
seems, is to be planted to alfalfa and
strangely enough a part of the farm
in Parker, that part now owned by
George Newman, is in alfalfa and is
considered to be one of the finest
pieces of alfalfa land in the county.
It has been producing abundant crops
of hr.y for many years. In a state
comparatively new like Texas, it is a
rare thing for a piece of land to re-
main in the possession of one family
for any great length of time, and it is
remarkable that these farms or parts
of them have been held by some of
tho direct heirs or relatives on down
to the present day.
wagons had been weighed and return-
ed home. Wednesday morning traf-
fic officers were placed on Fort
Worth street to keep the wagons in
line and passageways open to traffic,
Street intersections were kept open
and the east end of the line, where
the wagons turn into the scales, was
clear so cars and empty wagons coold
get back to the square. In all prob-
ability Weatherford is the only city
in the world where it is found neces-
sary to place traffic officers to keep
the water melon traffic moving. An
exceptionlly good price was paid
Tuesday. Wednesday, the market
<was a little lower, with the bulk of
the sales ranging from $15.00 to
$23.00. One load sold Tuesday, it wae
reported for $30.00 per ton. They
were extra large, uniform melons, and
were trucked to Dallas for sale to ho-
tels and confectioneries. One grower
brought in a load Tuesday consisting
of 85 melonsj weighing exactly 4,250
pounds or 50 pounds average. This
load sold for $28.00 per ton, the load
netting the grower $59.50.
In addition to the car loads being
shipped innumerable trucks leave this
city each day for Dallas, Fort Worth,
>Sherman. Denison, Breckenrldge, Ran-
ger and other towns and cities In
North Texas. In all probability four
or five car loads are shipped by truck
each day.
SCHOLASTICS URGED TO

Scholastics who will transfer from
one school district to another this fall
aro urged to do so before August 1st,
the time set by the state when the ap-
portionment cannot be transferred

ferred at the same time by applying

i The revival meeting at Zion Hill
ciosed Friday, July 20 at the eleven
o’clock service. The meeting was
wonderful. The church had a great
spiritual uplift. The best of many
previous years. There was one con-
version and three additions to the
church by baptism. Bro. J. Harvey
Stevens, did the preaching. We hope
and pray that his work will prove
greater and greater in the service to
God’s work.

Church.
A report has reached the Herald
to the effect that the Cogdell test
well, that is being drilled near Kicka
poo Falls on the Weatherford-Lipau
road, developed a fairly strong flow
if gas this week, and the drillers are
very optimistic of the ultimate out-
come of the test. According to the
jeport, tho gas was encountered at
3800 feet, while the rig was shut down
awaiting casing, 'the hole filled to
within 300 feet of the top, and the gas
flow escaped through 3500 feet of
water. Drilling has now been resum-
ed and a paying sand is expected
within the next few days. This well
is being drilled by Messrs Cogdell and
Burleson, and is situated within a
few feet of the roadf close to the Par-
ker-Hood county line. W. H. Rey-
nolds, city commissioner, who owns
nearly 1,300 acres In close proximity
tn the well, 13 deeply Interested and
is watching developments closely.
