the cane and lumber districts
business is fairly good.

Announcement Party.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. T. A.
Barron, at her home on North
Center street, entertained the
girls and recent brides of the sea-
son with a beautifully appointed
announcement party.
Mr. Will Evans disclosed the
secret very prettily in the form
of a story, in which he told of
the approaching marriages of
Miss Katherine McKinney, of
Honey Grove, and Mr. Lamon
Dumas, of Van Alstyne, the wed-
ding to take place December 30,
1914, and Miss Christie Steven-
son, of this city, and Mr. Edwin
H. Wallace, Jr., of Fort Worth,
the wedding to take place De-
cember 16, 1914.
The announcements came as a
great surprise to the friends of
the brides-elect gathered.
An interesting game of 42 fol-
lowed. Miss Bernice Carleton won
the favor for high score, a beau-
tiful boquet of yellow chrysan-
themums, chrysanthemums also
being the favors for the hon-
orees. Dainty and delicious re-
freshments were served to thirty
guests.—Bonham Favorite.
Since last Friday a new arrival
has been entertained at the home
of Postmaster Samuel H. Gard-
ner. The guest is a young gen-
tleman of engaging manners and
is a Democrat of progressive pro-
pensities—the kind that are per-
sona grata with the powers that
be. Looking through the musty
files of the Signal we note that
years ago the paper made many
cruel thrusts at the happy father
of today. His age was a theme
for many jests and he was de-
scribed as a bachelor that bloomed
perennial. But how the tables
have been turned. Postmaster
Gardner is today the head of a
family large enough to fill a big
automobile while many of those
who slung repartee at him in
days of yore still linger upon the
shores of bachelordom or roll the
sum total of their progeny about
in a one-seated gocart.
Petition in Bankruptcy.
J. Neal Palmer, who has been
engaged in the general merchan-
dise business at Lannius, this
county, filed a petition in bank-
ruptcy with the Paris federal
court Tuesday. The liabilities
aggregate about $16,000 and the
assets about $9000. Mr. Palmer’s
business misfortunes were caused
by a fire last spring, followed by
the financial stringency and busi-
ness depressions of this fall. In
the fire he lost his building and
entire stock of merchandise, on
which no insurance was carried.
Mr. Palmer is a splendid young
man, progressive and popular,
and his many friends throughout
this section deeply regret his
business reverses.

Work of Missionary
Society.
The regular social session of
the Woman’s Missionary Society
was held Monday afternoon at
the home ot Mrs. M. H. Wood.
Opening song. “Work for the
Night is Coming. ” The program
as outlined in the Year Book was
presented m a pleasing, inter-
esting and instructive light un-
der the efficient leadership of
Mrs. L. B. Black. Subject: “Con-
quest of the Cross Over Dark-
ness.” In the Bible Study: “Je-
sus Christ, the Evangelistic Mis-
sionary,” the leader compared
the mission fields to the autumnal
fields ripe unto harvest, white
and ready for God’s children to
go out as reapers, bearing in
mind that the one work or mis-
sion is that of giving the gospel
to All mankind. Prayer was of-
fered by S. V. Wall.
“A Peep into Africa” was ably
given by Mrs. Wess Reed. Mrs.
Marsh followed with a leaflet,
“A Sunday Service in the Con-
go” which was enjoyed by all.
Just here the leader announced
that we would mix a bowl of
“Missionary Salad,” the differ-
ent ingredients being contributed
by the members in response to
roll call. All housekeepers, or
cooks, know the secret of a good
salad, ‘ ‘the more ingredients the
better the flavor,” and it was in-
deed gratifying to have so many
members present. This feature
of the program, while unique and
tempting, served yet another
purpose in bringing out the hard-
ships and hindrances encountered
by the missionaries and their
need of our support and prayers.
While it is our duty to be prayer-
ful for the workers in Africa, we
must not forget the negro at
home. ‘ ‘The Black Man in Amer-
ica” was discussed by Mrs. Nor-
wood. She spoke of conditions
in our homeland, confining her
remarks to our own little village.
She spoke of the need of better
housing, sanitary and moral con-
ditions, and presented plans
whereby we might help them by
assisting in the organization of a
missionary society, establishing
a day nursery and encouraging
Industrial training.
Mrs. R. L. Wood read an inter-
esting article on “The Servant in
the Home.” The Bible speaks
of his or her position as one of
importance and dignity. The re-
lation of master and servant in
the home is like unto that of
Master and servant and holds
paramount the reward of the
faithful servant. We all know
in the home prepared for God’s
children all nationalities will be
present. There all racial differ-
ences will be wiped out.
We were so glad to have as
our guests Mr. and Mrs. Wall,
who spoke in tenderest words of
“One day last fall my
wifex and I started for a
drive, leaving the house
deserted. A short while
after we'd passed Jones’
place, Mrs. Jones saw
smoke coming from our
roof.
“She ran to the tele-
phone—Got Mrs. Reed
who operates the switch-
board located in her home.
Mrs. Reed called all the
nearby people on the line
(two long rings — the
emergency signal,) and
they put the fire out with
little damage.” 9

nected with the Bell System is a

the “days of yore” and the rela-
tion existing between master and
servant, and the deep affection
held for “Black Mammy.” Prof.
Wall, in speaking of the negro of
today, brought out the following
characteristic traits—they do not
hold malice nor enmity and1 re-
spond readily to kind treatment.
Once you win their love and con-
fidence they remain true and loy-
al if you are kind to them. Since
it is an impossibility to trans-
plant them to another country,
it is our duty, a debt we owe the
negro, to rise to the occasion and
as a society help and encourage
them in every way possible.
At the conclusion of the lesson
a delicious salad course was
served by Mrs. Pebyl Wood and
Mrs. J. B. Little.
The regular monthly business
meeting will be held Monday,
December 7th, at the church.

This is a prescription prepared especially

if taken then as a tonic the Fever will not
return. It acts on the liver better than
Calomel and does not gripe or sicken. 25c
‘‘He died of Bright’s Disease.”
Hardly a week passes that this state
ment is not made in reference to soms
prominent citizen.
The increasing prevalence of this dis-
ease makes the present time seem nf&st
opportune for discussion in the hope that
some who are unconsciously afflicted
with this dreaded disease may receive
timely warning.
A prominent citizen residing in 5
nearby town informs us that he suffered
for nearly a year from Bright’s Disease,
but that he recently affected a complete
cure.
“What seemed to be the first indica-
tions of the trouble,” was asked.
“They seemed hardly worth noticing.
My digestion bothered me at times, my
stomach seemed out of order, and I had
occasional backaches, but I thought it
was due to too much work.”
“Did you take anything?”
“I did not. Later, my strength failed
me, I had severe pains in the back and
noticed some irregularities of the urine,
I couldn’t sleep well at night. I then
used some simple remedies, but without
benefit.”
“Did you realize that your trouble was
Bright’s Disease?”
“I never thought of such a thing. Fi-
nally, my condition became seriou s. My
back ached all the time, I had shooting
pains in my joints and a weak tired feel-
ing at the knees, a little work played me
*>ut completely. I then began doctoring
for kidney trouble but did not improve
very much.”
“Did you have any trouble with your
heart?”
‘ ‘Yes. I had spells of heart throbbing
and a nervous faint feeling. I thought
I had heart disease and treated awhilo
•or that. Nothing seemed to help me.
[ had to give up trying to work.”
“How did you affect a cure?”
“A friend of mine persuaded me to try
Prickly Ash Bitters. I bought a bottle
of my druggist. After taking it a week
I began to feel some better, my urine be-
came more natural and there was a grad-
ual lessening of my misery. I kept on
taking Prickly Ash Bitters for several
weeks and I could feel my strength re-
turning—slowly at first—hut increasing
daily. I am now entirely cured of my
trouble and able to do a full day’6 work
without the least fatigue. I consider
prickly Ash Bitters the grandest kidney
medicine in the world.”
Thousands of people attest in like
manner to the wonderful benefit derived
from Prickly Ash Bitters. It is a time
tried and successful remedy for Brighton
Disease or any disorder of the kidneys.
Prickly Ash Bitters is in every sense a
system tonic and regulator. It possesses
important properties for curing ailments
of the stomach, liver and bowels in ad-
dition to its great power in the kidneys.
It is a valuable article to keep at home,
where a dose or two can be taken when-
ever needed. When used for any disor-
der in the kidneys, stomach, liver or
bowels it is the right medicine in the
right place.
