Mr. J. P. Hopkins has moved
to Honey Grove from Mount
Pleasant and is occupying the J.
H. Smith place on West Main
street. Mr. Hopkins will engage

rant business and has secured
the Ryan building, a splendid
stand. We welcome Mr. Hop-
kins and trust that he may be
pleased with the town and pros-
perous in business.
Eating of some character is a
necessity, but eating the best is a
luxury. It is our aim to supply
the luxuries. We go upon the
theory that the best is none too
good for good people, and when
we buy goods we keep this motto
in mind. Another rule of ours is
to keep our stock complete. If
its good to eat, and to be had in
this market we have it. Bring,
send, or phone us your order and
it will be delivered promptly.—

This is the record of the First
Presbyterian Sunday School for
practically two years as the plan
was not thoroughly started until
January, 1907, when a one-years’
reward was voted to two scholars
and two teachers. No excuses,
not even sickness, are taken for
non-attendance and visiting in
another city is no excuse unless
a Sunday School is attended and
a card signed to that effect.
The success of this school is
credited to the regularity of the
officers and teachers in attend-
ance and the holding of regular
monthly Teachers’ Meetings for
exchange of ideas for the welfare
of the school, also an active and
ever-present pastor, Rev. J. H.
Bellot.
Enrollment for 1908, 52, aver-
age attendance, 48.

Change of Agents.
Mr. R. N. Miller, who for the
past few years has been agent of
the Texas & Pacific railway in
this city, was transferred this
week to Paris and left Monday to
take charge of the office there.
Mr. Miller and wife have many
strong friends in Honey Grove
who deeply regret their removal;
the best wishes of all our people
his many friends. A fine busi
ness man,a genial gentleman and
a courteous official, he is consid-
ered one of the company’s most
valuable men and will fill any
position he accepts to the entire
satisfaction of company and pat-
rons.
Something New.

grand electrical and mechanical
portrayal of the destruction of
Messina,by the eruption of Mount
Aetna. Exhibition of scenes in
the Sicilian city before, during
and after the great earthquake,in
which 200,000 lives were lost. This
is not a moving picture exhibition
but a marvelous exhibition of
electrical effects. In addition to
the above we show new motion
pictures every night. We travel
in our own car, own our own
electric light plant and steam cal-
liope. In the Pirtle building,next

Thanks.
I am very thankful to the peo-
ple for the splendid vote given
me in Tuesday’s election. I will
endeavor to show my apprecia-
tion by giving the people’s busi-
ness the best service I am
capable of giving.
Gratefully,
Elmo Chiles.

dren have returned from an ex-

Tax Payers
DON’T FORGET! -
State and County
Taxes for 190 8,
must be paid be-
fore February 1st,
1909. The statutes
provide that a 10
per cent penalty
be added to all
taxes not paid be-
fore that date.
Don’t wait until
the last day. Do it
now and avoid the
rush.
Tax Collector Fannin County.
Tri County Normal.
The committee, composed of
representatives from the teachers
associations of Fannin, Lamar
and Red River counties, met at
Paris Saturday to arrange for the
holding of the Normal next sum-
mer. Profs. Keeton, of Bonham,
Terry, of this city, and Parker,of
Ladonia,were the representatives
from Fannin county. Supt. P.
E. McDonald, of Honey Grove,
was selected to conduct the Nor-
mal. Under the rules each coun-
ty furnishes two instructors, and
Supt. I. W. Evans, of Bonham,
was selected as the other instruc-
tor from this county. Profs.
Downer and Breckeen are Lamar
county’s members of the faculty
and Prof3. Houston and. Diffie
the instructors from Red River.
The place for holding the nor-
mal was not selected, though
Bonham or Honey Grove will
doubtless be chosen, as it is Fan-
nin county’s time.
The committee expressed a
preference for an eight-weeks’
term of the Normal, instead of
six as heretofore, though it was
decided to refer the question of
the length of the term to the
teachers.
See the destruction of Messina.
Miss Nellie Hockaday,who was
reared in this city and is well
known here, was married in
Sherman January 13th to Mr. Y.
S. Kendall, of Durant. Miss
Hockaday has been teaching in
the public schools of Durant, and
Mr. Kendall, we learn, is a busi-
ness man of Durant.
An election was held Tuesday
for Alderman in Ward No. 1 to
fill the unexpired term of Mr. L.
B. Black, who removed from the
ward. A very light vote was
polled. Mr. Elmo Chiles receiv-
ed 105 votes, Dr. L. C. Page 45
and Mr. G. M. Ohr 28. Mr.
Chiles took the oath of office'
Wednesday night.
You are cordially invited to be
present at our class meeting next
Sunday morning from 9:45 to
10:45 and spend a pleasant hour
with us at the American Presby-
terian church. It will be a profit-
able hour for you, and we will
appreciate your presence very
much.
Young People’s Bible Class.
Doubtless all of our readers no?
ticed in the report of the bank
elections last week the nice pro-
motion that has come to the office
force of the Planter’s National
bank. Mr. R. J. Thomas, cashier
of the institution from the begin-
ning, is now president of this pop-
ular bank; Mr. J. C. McKin-
ney, assistant cashier for many
years, succeeds Mr. Thomas as
cashier, and Mr. F. E. Wood, for
many years a member of the of-
fice force,i3 now assistant cashier.
These promotions were richly de-
served and the new officers have
been busy re^^pg thereon gran-
ulations of
friends ‘
Mr. L. C. Hill is another citizen
of this section who has faith in
dairying and will give it a trial.
He has a piece of pasture land
near town and for some time has
been picking up Jerseys. Up to
the first of this week he owned
sixteen head of this favorite
breed of milkers and Tuesday he
purchased a herd of sixteen from
a gentleman near Dodd City.
With the herd he also purchased
a separator and other requisites
of the dairy business. He ex-
pects to begin shipping cream
right away, and as time goes on
he will enlarge and improve his
herd. Mr. Hill never goes into
anything without thorough inves-
tigation, and the very fact that
he has engaged in dairying is
pretty good evidence that it is a
promising field for investment
and laoor.
The town of Direct, in the edge
of Lamar county,near the Fannin
county line, is perhaps the
largest town in Texas without a
church building. Many good
people live in and near the town,
but no denomination has ever
erected a building for worship.
But Direct is soon to lose its rep-
utation as a churchless town. Re-
cently a widow well known
throughout that section made a
contribution of $300 for a house
of worship, same to be used by
all denominations. To this others
added nice contributions and now
a good building fund is on hand.
As soon as the weather clears up
work will begin on the church
building and henceforth the gos-
pel will be proclaimed in the vil-
lage of Direct.

Men’s Meeting.
There being no particular sub-
ject or leader appointed for this
occasion,Dr. Blankmeyer as con-
ductor for this month led, out on
number 13, and our superstitious
habits were dissected pro and
con, with many good thoughts
and suggestions to be kind and
cheerful in the walks of life. Ex-
tending the glad hand,permitting
smiles to wrinkle the brow rather
than frowns. Reports were good
over the generous hospitality ex-
tended to the delegates that at-
tended the federation and the
good fellowship that existed at
the meeting^at Bonham.
Miss Bessie Robnett and Mr.
W. G. Waltermire both gave us a
choice vocal selection accom-
panied on the organ by Miss
Anna Robnett. As this item is
being written the Revival Service
goes on at the Baptist church for
men only with interest and in-
spiration to all who attend.
Next Sunday the subject will,
be “Song and its Influence,” led
by Mr. W. G. Waltermire.
Remember the hour—from 3 to
4 p. m., at the First Presbyterian
church.
The Executive Committee.
Card of Thanks.
To my dear neighbors, and
friends, to the church members
and the good minister, who were
so kind to me in my breavement
caused by the death of my dear
daughter, also to the agent of the
express company who extended
so many favors! I thank you all
from the depths of my heart,
shall never forget these deeds of
kindness and sincerely hope that
in some way I may be able to
discharge the deep debt of grati
tude I owe those who have been
so good to me.
Mrs. S. A. Hamilton.
Hotel Vineyard.
Mr. L. A. Vineyard,who is now
in charge of the hotel formerly
known as the City Hotel, asks us
to say to his old friends and the
public generally that he is now
prepared to entertain them. The
house has been thoroughly reno
vated and refurnished through-
out, and Mr. Vineyara’s long ex-
perience in the hotel business,to-
gether with his anxiety to please,
is a guarantee that all his guests
will have a pleasant stay. In
connection with his hotel he has
a good wagon yard, with accomo-
dations for teams and people.
Mrs. M. H. Wood has been in
Roxton this week visiting her sis-
ter, Mrs. Bywaters.
Mr. R. H. McCurdy, late man-
ager of the Southwestern Tele-
phone company, has accepted a
position with J. I. Warren in the
land and loan business. Mr.
Lackland, the new manager came
in from Waxahachie last week and
is now in charge af the business.
Mr. P. B. Johnson, one of this
section’s most progressive far-
mers, won a prize on yellow corn
at the Sherman corn show last
week, his collection scoring 94%
points against 96 for the first
prize. This was Mr. Johnson’s
first entry at a corn show and he
made the mistake of selecting
. arge ears, without reference to
uniformity. Had he been skilled
in selecting he would probably
have captured first prize.
