THE FILM OF THE HOUR
By J. Stewart Blackton and C^rus Townsend Brady
“WOMANHOOD” is the supreme revelation of the three noblest passions in a woman’s life. Rightly
called “The Love Epic of the Screen.” It depicts the love of a maid for a man, the love of a mother
for her child and the love of a woman for her country. ........

Died.
Samuel Hobbs, 15-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs, Ben F. Hobbs,
who live near Riverbv, died in
the sanitarium at Paris Monday
morning. About ten days before
his death a carbuncle formed on
the boy’s lower lip, and from this
blood poison set up. The suffer-
er was taken to the sanitarium at
Paris a week before his death, but
the physicians gave little hope
of recovery. Death came about
10 o’clock Monday. The body
reached Honey Grove Tuesday
Cotton Receipts.
Up to Wednesday night, Octo-
ber 3, 4,157 bales of cotton had
been received in Honey Grove
this season. Prices yesterday
morning for ordinary cotton
ranged from 26 to 26! cents. The
Signal’s last year’s report show-
ed that up to the night of Octo-
ber 6, 7,795 bales had been re-
ceived, and on that date prices
ranged from 15! to 161.
So far as we know the highest
price ever paid for cotton in Hon-
ey Grove was paid to J. W. Shrum,
and was given burial at Oak wood J of the country south of town,
Tuesday afternoon, following the
funeral service whieh was con-
ducted at the residence of the
deceased’s grandmother, Mrs. B.
F. McGaughey, by Rev.#Rex B.
Wilkes.
The Signal joins the commun-
ity in extending sympathy to the
parents, grandmother and the
many relatives who are sorely be-
reaved over the death of this
bright, promising boy.
Hollis Brode, who has been at-
tending Commercial College at
Dallas, came home Wednesday
night for a few days rest from
his studies.
Wednesday. Mr. Shrum sold two
bales at 30! cents, the two bales
netting him $374,03, without the
seed. The cotton sold by Mr.
Shrum was extra good staple, but
not of what is known as the ex-
tra long staple varieties. Mr.
Shrum tells us the yield from
this cotton will be a little more
than a half-bale per acre, and
that it is about as easy to pick as
the ordinary big boll cotton.
These figures show that the land
in this cotton will yield nearly
$100 per acre in cotton alone, to
which the seed will add a goodly
sum.
District Court Doings.
The following cases have been
disposed of in the Fannin county
district court this week:
. Sam Fry, the armless boot-
legger who sold fire-water in and
around Honey Grove, was con-
victed mid sentenced to the pen-
itentiary for a term of two years.
William Miller, a negro, plead
guilty to two charges of bur-
glary, and was given a term of
four years in the pen.
Stewart, Cooper, assault to mur-
der; three years in penitentiary,
with suspended sentence.
In the civil suit of B. H. Wil-
liams and Chas. Ogerly, in which
Williams was suing Ogerly for
$1,900 and Ogerly was suing Wil-
liams for$l, 000 over a land trans-
action a decision was rendered
that neither party recover any-
thing.

Trainload of Airships.
A train passed through Honey
Grove Tuesday night loaded with
a character of freight that is new
to this section. There were nine-
teen cars in the train, and the
freighter was loaded from en-
gine to caboose with airships.
How many airships were on board
we dpn’t know; in fact we know
very little about it, as the train
passed at night and made extra
fast time. The train was headed
for Fort worth, where, we pre-
sume, many of our soldier boys
will learn to fly.
Judge Denton Has Re-
turned.
Judge Ben H. Denton and wife
have returned to their home in
Paris. They have been visiting
in Colorado for Mrs. Denton’s
health, which has been so poor
that the Judge was not able to
get home in time to hold this
term of coupt, and Trav Lips-
comb has presided in his stead.
We understand that Mrs. Denton
is considerably improved.

Bonham Doctor to France
Dr. H. A. McDaniel of this
city has received from the Presi-
dent a commission as captain in
the Medical Reserve Corps, and
will ask to be sent to a base hos-
pital in France. Of course he
does not know where he will be
sent, but he has expressed a
Xifeference the government may
grant. As soon as he accepts
the commission he will be sub-
ject to orders and will go wher-
ever he is sent. So far only one
army surgeon’ has gone from
Bonham, he being Dr. E, H.

months ago and is now in Camp
Bowie.—Bonham Favorite.
Farewell to Soldiers.
About 100 Fannin county so 1-

tonio. Bonham people are mak-

soldier boys an appropriate tare-
well. There will be a big parade
and a patriotic address. Bonham
gives all the people of the county
a cordial invitation to be on hand
and join in this farewell to our
soldier boys.
Drafted Men to Report
Sunday.
Big Meteor Falls In
Hill County.
A dispatch to the daily papers
says a very large meteor, weigh-
ing several tons, fell near Hills-
boro Monday night and buried
itself in the ground. The meteor
was as large as an automobile
and created much excitement.
People in several counties of
North Texas saw the meteor, ac-
cording to reports. A man in
Cleburne says it appeared to be
so close to him that he dodged.
Word reaches us from Mineral
Wells that Honey Grove’s former
citizen, J. T. Holt, was suddenly
stricken about a week ago and
since that time has been in a pre-
carious condition. While Mr.
Holt has not been wall for some
time, he was able to be up until
the sudden attack of last week.
