Miss Ella Walker left Wednes-

has not fully decided but it is
quite probable that she will make
Los Angels her future home.
Mr. A. W. Richardson return-
ed home last Saturday lrom.the
Brownsville country, where he
spent several days. His opinion
is that this country has a great
future, and will soon be a rival
of California in the production of
oranges, lemons and grapes.
The prospects at present are
that the cotton crop will open
much earlier this year than for
several seasons past. A well in-
formed, cotton man said a few
days since.that he believed Hon-
ey Grove would receive more cot-
ton in August this year than was
received last year in September,
Mr. Jack Young returned from
Mississippi Monday night after a

cause it was impossible to clean
them.

of hurling abusive language at

so entered and the usual fines
assessed for such infractions of
the law.

Mens’ Meeting.
The Men’s Meeting Sunday
was good indeed and the attend-
ance fair. Bro. Melvin Davis
made us a splendid talk on “What
Are You Sowing?” Man—-you,
reader, I mean—did you ever stop
to think what you personally are
sowing? The word of God says
“they who sow to the flesh shall
of the flesh reap corruption, but
they who sow to the Spirit shall
of the Spirit reap life everlast-
ing.” Think for a moment on
the character of the seed you are
casting forth by your daily life
and conversation and what kind
of a harvest they will produce. If
your seed is bad cast them into
the fire and consume them, then
get seed that will meet the Mas-
ter’s approval and cast them forth
with a full hand. The musical
feature was a solo by that excel-
lent blind singer, Bro. Scott, of
Ladonia.
The subject for next Sunday
will be “Monuments,” with Bro.
M. Walker as leader. You may
be sure of a profitable hour if you
come.
Remember the hour—3 to 4 p,

To Destroy Weevils.
The weevils have been very nu-
merous in Red river county this
year and the farmers have been
using a spray which has proved
quite successful in destroying the
pests. Learning of the . success
that has attended the use of this
spray in Red River county the
Secretary of the Board of Trade
wrote a well-known farmer for
the formula and received the fol-
lowing :
Water—50 gallons,
Beaumont Oil—1 gallon.
Kerosene Oil—1 gallon.
Coal Tar—1 quart.
Kreso dip—1 pint.
Mix and use as a spray or wet sacks
with it and hang on the plows and cul-
tivators and drag over the crops.
Several farmers of Red River
Get Rid of the Ants.
Ants, the very small variety,
too large to swat with the fist,but
too large to eat without unpleas-
ant memories, have troubled ev-
erybody this year. They find
their way into air-tight safes and
the best reguiated pantries and
ruin the dispositions of the sweet-
est-tempered housewives. Many
of us have already tried carbolic
acid and insect powders of vari-
ous names, but still we have the
ants and bad-tempered house-
wives. The Bonham News,which
is a specialist on the habits of
ants and all small animals, says
if you will put one teaspoonful of
sugar and one teaspoonful of
tartar emetic in a cup one-fourth
full of water and place the cup
near the accustomed dens of the
the ants, in a very short time not
an ant, living or dead, will be
found. This is so easy and costs
so little that we advise all to try
it, and report results.
Fined for Speeding.
The first complaint for viola-
tion of the speed laws provided
for automobiles was filed Sunday
against a young man from a
neighbor city. He drove his car
at a speed which the officers were
sure was beyond the limit and
complaint was entered against
him. The lowest fine, five dol-
lars, was assessed, which, with
the costs, ran the amount up to
$12.5°. ______

Honey Grove, Texas, March 5,
1909.—We have sold Hall’s Texas
Taxicab Wedding Latest Wrinkle.
Memphis, July 16.—A taxicab
wedding is the latest thing for
Memphis. Yesterday morning
W. H. Buckner, of Wilmington,
Del., a traveling salesman, came
to Memphis on a business trip.
Business disposed of he present-
ed a letter of introduction to Miss
Anna Hall and late in the even
ing the two decided to be mar-
ried. The preliminaries arrang-
ed, a convenient taxicab present-
ed itself as a means of convey
ance to the office of the magis-
trate. Then came the idea of a
taxicab wedding and the cere-
mony was performed while the
two stood in the little motor car
with court attaches and newspa-
per men as witnesses and the toot
of the auto horn substituted for
the conventional wedding bells.
In Vladivostock.
Friends in this city received a
letter this week from John Fet
ter, Honey Grove’s sailor boy,
who i s now with the Pacific
squadron. At the time the letter
was written he was at Vladivos
took, Coast Province, but had
just returned from Hakodate,
Japan. Vladivostok, he says, is
strictly a military station, and
every man he has seen was wear-
ing a uniform.
Child Drowned.
The little son of Mr. Jo Sparger,
of Bonham, was drowned at Tio-
ga Monday. The family were
spending the week at the health
resort and the boy, in company
with several companions, went
swimming in a small artificial
lake in the town. The boy got
beyond his depth, and, not being
able to swim, drowned before as-
sistance could reach him.
About Transfers.
Under the school laws of Tex-
as all who desire to transfer their
children from one school district
to another for the next term must
make application to the County
Superintendent, and do so before
August 1. Under the law no
transfers are permitted after that
date, and all who desire to make
such changes should give the
matter prompt attention.

Don’t Get a Divorce.
A western judge granted a divorce
on account of ill-temper and bad
breath. Dr. King’s New Life Pills
would have prevented it. They cure
constipation, causing bad breath and
liver trouble the ill-temper, dispel
colds, banish headaches, conquer

writer, expects to be in Fannin
county next week and will give
the people an opportunity to purt
chase the books written by him-
self. He writes that he expected
to be here earlier, but finds travel
somewhat slow. He does not say
whether he is touring the country
on foot or in an air ship, but our
guess is that he is worrying with
a contrary aeroplane.
Quite a number of Honey
Groveites attended the Ladonia
picnic Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. They report good
crowds and a very successful
picnic. Wednesday the grand
stand at the ball park tell and
several people were slightly in-
jured, but luckily no bones were
broken. Messrs. T. D. Bloys and
B. O. Walcott, of this city, are on
the list of injured, but they are
not complaining very much.
A special series of evangelistic
services will be conducted by
Leroy M. Anderson, pastor of the
Christian church, at the taberna-
cle to begin August 8. All the
Christians of Honey Grove are
asked to co-operate. A large
number of song books filled with
inspiring music have been order-
ed and it is desired to make this a
feature of the meeting. Services
v/ill be conducted daily at 8:15
p. m. For comfort’s sake, the
discarding of women’s hats and
men’s coats will be permitted.

A slight change of schedule
went into effect on the T. & P,
Sunday. The west-bound train
which formerly arrived at 11:32
was moved up to 11:24 a. m., and
the the east-bound now arrives at
2:27 instead of 2:13 p. m. The
change makes it possible to make
connection at Fort Worth with
trains to and from Mineral Wells.
Passengers can now leave Honey
Grove at 11:24 a. m. and reach
Mineral Wells the same evening;
leaving Mineral Wells in the
morning they can reach Honey
Grove at 2:27 p. m.
Mr, Ed McClure purchased this
week 79 acres north of town, a
portion of what is known as the
Wyatt Robertson pasture; con-
sideration $60 per acre. Mr.
Bealy James purchased from Mr.
McClure 90 acres a few miles
north of town, paying $60 per
acre therefor. There has been
much talk of short crops the past
few years, but it will be noticed
that there has been no decline in
the price of black land, and it’s
safe to predict that there never
will be.

Mr. Babcock, an experienced
oil man now with the Parafine

and went over the supposed oil
territory held by a local company
near Red river. He found sur-
face indications favorable, and
expects to return in the near fu-

investigation. It is the intention
of the company to begin drilling
at no distant date.
It is rumored on the streets that
a new bank may be organized in

that science has peen able to cure in all its
