TURKEY MARKET NOW
22 CENTS PER POUND
RECEIPTS ARE LIGHT
Thp turkey market opened in Wea-
therford Tuesday, when dealers paid
20 cents per pound for the few that
were offered on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday. Thursday morning the mar-
ket went to 22 cents per pound in this
city in conformity with prices in other
[towns in the State of Texas The tur-
key market seems to be rather an un-
known article this fall, with records
showing enormous quantities of cold
storage birds in the eastern cities.
However the market Is expected to
reach 25 cents before Thanksgiving,
although there is no certainty of
either an advance or a decline. The
turkey grower himself, must be the
sole judge as to the most propitious
time to sell. Following is the govern-
ment daily report mailed from Fort
Worth and covering Tuesday’s mar-
kets in various towns, which was re-
ceived by J. R. Fleming & Co., Thurs-
day morning:

•The case of the State of Texas vs.
Roy Simmons, charged by grand jury
Indictment with rape, went to trial in
district court Thursday morning, after
Wednesday had been spent in the se-
lection of a jury. A special venire of
100 men had been summoned from
which to select the jury. The jury as
chosen is as follows:
I W. Rater, G. W. Chamberlain, H. E.
Dunn, Lester Smith. J. E. Martin, G.
W. Gilley, J. B, Williams, W. G. Har-
ris, Martin Fox, Frank Dore, W. S.
Golden, J. L. Oxford.
■ The first witness introduced Thurs-
day before noon, was Miss Lela Tipps
of the Perrin section, the principal
witness for the State. Attorneys
Hood and Shadie are assisting Coun-
ty Attorney J. L. McCall and Assist-
ant, W. ft. Hawkins, in the prosecu-
tion of the case. Defendant Is repre-
sented by Preston Martin.
In selecting a jury, and questioning
veniremen, the State questioned on
the death penalty scruples of pros
pective jurymen. The State also ques-
tioned on whether veniremen belong-

questioned upon membership in the

mitted membership in the Ku Klux

State.
The trial is expected to consume
practically the balance of the week.

SAKERPOSTON STORE
ON ANNIVERSARY
As had previously been announced,
the store of Baker-Poston & Co. was
closed from noon Wednesday until 3
o’clock, during which time a banquet
was held at Hotel Parker, attended by
the executives, stockholders, employ-
ees and their wives. Sixty-five plates
were laid for the banquet. The din-
ing room was beautifully decorated
for the occasion and the Parker did
itself proud in its service of the dain-
ty and sumptuous four course lunch-
eon. ,
At 1:15 p. jn. the' party marched
into the dining room to music played
by Miss Bessie May Binnion As soon
as ail were at their places the music
started up with ‘“Hail, Hail, the
Gang’s All Here," which brought
smiles to the faces of all the guests.
I. M Gardner acted as toastmaster and
ailed on H E. Altfather, who gave
the invocation This banquet was a
most enjoyable coming together again
of members of the firm and old asso-
ciates, some of whom hgd been sepa-
rated for years The toastmaster call-
ed on a number of the older members
of the Arm for speeches and they very
cheerfully responded with short talks
in which they expressed their high re-
gard for those with whom they had
been associated and told something of
the early history of the firm and of
the problems it then faced and solved.
Those who made after dinner speech-
es were W M. Hemphill, I M. Gard-
ner, J. T. Moore, G. C. Poston and
Mrs Mary Baker Rumsey.
Following the close of the banquet,
all those present formed a group in
front of the hotel and a photograph
was taken. They then marched in a
body to the store where they found a
crowd waiting to welcome them and
to visit the store, which had been so
beautifully arranged and decorated
for the reception of the people on this,
the 51st anniversary of the firm.
From 3 oclock Wednesday after-
noon until 9 oclock at night, there was
j. continual stream of people passing
n and out at the doors. Inside it was
iike one grand home-coming The
store was crowded with people coming
from city and country, and they came,
,sonie of them, from a long ways off.
And every one, young and old,„from
far and near, was welcomed in a sin-

cere and cordial manner. Some there
were who knew the founders of the
firm and who traded with them forty
or fifty years ago, and they came at
this time to renew their acquaintance
and celebrate a long term of pleaBant
relationship between buyer and seller.
While the reception was in progress
there were several entertaining feat-
ures, among which was the beautiful
music furnished by the Conway King
orchestra. Winston Holland gave two
whistling numbers, which were liked
very much by the audience, both for *
their novelty and for their artfuinesg.^p
Everything—the friendliness of all
members of the firm, the music, the
decorations in subdued and harmon-
ious colors, the soft lights, the flow-
ers, gorgeous chrysanthemums and
greenery, Southern smilax, all tended
to make it a pleasing scene and an
enjoyable social meeting Every per-
son who entered the store received,
either as they came in or as they de-
parted, a souvenir of Baker-Poston &
Companys fifty-first anniversary.
As a final word, the Herald and the
public feels, as the members of this
firm must feel, that notwithstanding
the time, trouble and expense inci-
dental to this anniversary celebra-
tion, it was worth it all, as will be
more apparent as time goes on.
