VOLUME XI
DEATHS j
W. R. (Bud) Hembree
W. R. Hembree, about 50 years
old, was found dead at his home near
Gober Wednesday morning. His
wife, who was sleeping in an ad-
joining apartment stated that she
thought she heard him get up about
3:30 a. m. No shot appears to have
been heard. His wife stated she
went back to sleep. A .22 calibre
rifle was found near the body. Jus-
tice of the Peace Raleigh Abernathy,
had not per ed a verdict in his in-
quest up to L^idnesday, when these
facts were learned.
“Bud” Hembree, as he was known,
was a man of property. He was a
good citizen. He is survived by his
wife, one daughter, Miss Hazel, and
one son, William Joe. He also has
six brothers and and one sister. The
Herald was informed also that his
mother is living. Mr. Hembree was
a native of Alabama. He had been
living in Fannin county several years
owning a good farm, and having a
good home.
Funeral services were held Thurs-
day, with interment at Philadelphia
cemetery which is near Hale, south-
east of Bonham.
Mrs. J. A. Greene
Mrs. J. A. Greene whose home was
South of town near Harrison school
house, was found dead in bed at an
early hour Thursday morning. Dr.
J. A. Lanins was called by the family,
and stated as his opinion that the
woman had died from natural causes.
The Herald did not learn of an in-
quest being held. She had evidently
been dead some time.
It was stated that Mrs. Greene,
who is survived by her husband and
other members of the family, ap-
peared to be well Wednesday night,
and was talking with a son who
called at the family home. He was
asked to stay all night, but said he
would have to be going to his own
home. Nothing unusual was noted
at the time, as to Mrs. Greene’s
health.
Neither could anything be learned
as to funeral arrangements, or where
and when the funeral would be held.
Mrs. Nettie Thornton Bridge
Mrs. Nettie Thornton Bridge, 75,
of 734 East Eighth and One-half
street, Houston, Texas, died recent-

/nglish cemetery fund
HELPED CONSIDERABLY
The fund to build the fence around
Inglish Cemetery is growing very
well, now, and if a lot more people
will get in at $5.00 per, it will not
be long until you won’t have to read
these statements any more—enough
money will have been collected to
build the fence, but it will take a lot
of them to make a good fence.
Nothing short of a good enclosure
will do any good.
Below are the figures to date on
this project:
Previously acknowledged ...... $159.00
Mrs. Kate Kincaid, Whitewright
............................. 5.00
Miss Cora Fuller ...............—5.00
It does not matter whether you
live in Bopham or Kalamazoo. If
you wish make a donation to this
fund now'^ the time. Just notify
The Hera . how much you wish to
give, and you will be listed.

of the county who called at the of-

and for that reason Mr. Burkett was
glad to assist in paying them. The
office across the hallway, that of
Frank Wright, county auditor, plays
an important part in making the sal-
ary warrants bankable.

A
H. D. CLUBS
Riverside
A good standard mattress can be
made for $5, said Mrs. Lee MeVay
to the Riverside club Thursday, Feb.
24 at the club room at Monkstown.
Steps in making a mattress: 1.
Prepare the cotton for stuffing by
carding it with the hands. 2. Stuff
the .otlon in the tick and fill corners
well. 8. Sew the end of mattress. 4.
Beat mattress by using two axe
handles, one person on -arh side.
Beat up and down on both sides of
mattress. After it is beaten well on
"i.e sue, turn it over and continue in
same manner. This causes the cot-
ton to compact and fluff. 5. Sew
roll around mattreiss with fishiing
cord or any good strong thread.
The club had an all day meeting
and made a mattress for Mrs. Dora
Edwards.
At one o’clock the 4-H club girls
met with us and rendered a very in-
teresting program. At 2 o’clock the
house was called to order by the
president. The meeting was opened
by singing Spring time in Texas..
Roll was called and answered by 15
members. Two visitors were also
present. We welcomed two new
members. Minutes of last meeting
were read and approved.
The finance committee gave a re-
port. They had made out a list of
articles needed for the club room and
asked each member to contribute her
share.
The sunshine committees reported
two visits to the sick.
Our secretary having resigned,
Mrs. Minnie Cummins was elected to
fill her place.
The 5 cents for educational fund
was paid by each member. A book
review was given by M(iss Dora
Lightfoot, the title was, Cupboard
Lover, by1 Sophia Kerr. It was a
splended review and was enjoyed by
all. A guessing game was played
Mrs G. Wi Morgan donated a pretty
print apron that was given to the
one that guessed the' number of
beans in a one-half pint jar, or
closest to it. Each one paid 5 cents
to guess. Some one not in the game
counted the beans and put them in
the jar. This game is entertaining
and also makes money for the club.
Mrs Zula Smith won the apron.
This was not our regular meeting
so we adjourned to meet March 3
for our regular meeting.
Harrison
Singing “America,” 20 members
and guests of the Harrison club
opened their meeting at the school
house, Thursday.
Miss Dozier was present and ex-
plained what the educational fund
was used for. Each member of
home demonstration clubs over the
state pays 5 cents into this fund an-
nually. To the girl making the best
record in 4-H club work in the state,
each year three hundred dollars of
this money is loaned for a college
education. The rrist of this fund is
used to carry on Home Demonstra-
tion work in the state. Miss Dozier
also explained fair work then took
up the main feature of her talk
which was, water in and out of the
house. Her talk was very instruc-
tive. The business session was
conducted with the president in the
chair. Good Cheer committee ap-
pointed for MJarch is, Miss Vada
Hendricks. Mesdames R. R. Warn ell
and Ada Goyne. A letter was read
by the secretary from Mrs. Pet Lit-
trell, a former club member, who
has been in ill health for some time,
urging the club women to take up
the work of finishing the park at
the school house, which was started
by the P.-T. A. several years ago.
Amotion was made and
carried to this effect. Two new
members were added to the roll,
Mrs. Ted Green and Mrs. Luey
Goyne
Mrs. Ruby Nichols and Mrs.R. R.
Warnell were co-hostesses and ser-
ved dainty refreshments to all pres-
ent.
Visitors attending were: Misses
Lennie Shepard and Willie Goyne,
Mrs. Clyde Williams and Miss
Dozier.
Oakland II. D.
“Keep a record of all products
sold each month,” said Mrs. W. C.
Nelson to the club members Tues-
day, February the 22nd in the home
of Mrs. J. I. Snead.
After singing two songs our club
motto, pledge, and prayer were re-
peated by all. The roll call was
answered with “Why I ani a club
member.” Some committees were
appointed, finance committees: Mrs.
Bill Colburn, Miss Dovie Mae Snead
and Miss Willie Mad Robertson.
Our council delegate gave a good re-
port of the last council meeting. A
story of “The Life of George Wash-
ington” was given by Mrs. W. C.
Nelson.
The following program was car-
ried out:Correct table service by
Doris Snead; Care and protection of
the teeth, by Mrs. R. L. Neely; Vi-

| versary of Texas’ Independence so®

ished the program. Mrs. Mac Ever-
sole sang a solo accompanied by Mrs.
Marston. Then Mrs. Eversole and
Miss Ruby McClure sang two duets
accompanied by Miss McClure.
Ernest Barker, superintendent of
the Honey Grove schools, made an
interesting talk, telling of his experi-
ences with youngsters of school age.

member of the club.
The club was divided into two
groups to sell tickets for the club
show “The Gay 90’s” next Thurs-

vited the Bonham Rotarians and the

structed to make arrangements.
Chas. Leslie of Bailey and 0. J.
Robinson were guests.
METHODIST W. M. S.
Thirty-seven members of the W.
M. S. First Methodist church met
Monday afternoon for the monthly
World Outlook program. It is in
fhese meetings that much valuable
information is given of the work that
is being carried on by the Woman’s
Missionary Council in the homeland
and on the foreign field. Many* sur-
prises are in store for often we do
not realize how very much is being
done.
Subject: “World Community in
American Cities.” Leader Mrs. A. S.
Broadfoot. Sub-topics: The Mexicans,
Mrs. Henry Youree; The Cubans,
Mrs. Doc Leatherwood; The Arcad-
ians and groups of different nation-
alities, Mrs. F. W. Burnett; Descend-
ants of Early Americans, Miss Sadie
Weaks. Score of Wesley House,
Community Centers and schools are
maintained among each group men-
tioned, the goal of which is to devel-
op a high type of Christian citizen-
ship. .
Mrs. Malcolm Campbell told about
the 8 Bethlehem Houses for the
negroes of the South. They are the
same as the Wesley Houses for the
foreigners.
“The Beginning of Connectional
City Missions,” was interestingly
told by Mrs. Clyde Monds.
As a devotional, Mrs. Broadfoot
gave the lesson ideal, that Jesus
taught when He was asked, “And
who is my neighbor?” Luke 10:29.
At the close of the program the
president, Mrs. Burwell MbClure,
stated she wanted to thank the lad-
ies of the church for their hearty co-
operation in putting over the Cham-
ber of Commerce banquet.
The ecr. secry., Mrs. W. E. New-
ton, was requested to send cards of
thanks for the many ways in which
they helped to Messrs: E. Bryant,
Ike Biggerstaff, Bowden Caldwell,
Harris Myers, Woolworth’s, the
Christian church, Baxter Sitzler and
W. E. Newton. The latter furnished
that good coffee and Mr. .Sitzler’s
contribution was those beautiful
flowers that added so much joy to
the occasion. The W. M. S. wants
to thank you again, Mr. Sitzler, and
be assured that your kindness will
long be remembered.
Mrs. Claud Stewart gave the cheer-
ing report that $103.75 was cleared

CRIMINAL ASSIGNMENT
. . _ , „T.,, ^ The following is a report of new
A long time ago when Wild Cat j cases filed and minutes written up
Thicket was still wild, and the Katy, during the past week,
took a .lotion to build right through
the “brush” it created Trenton. Per-
haps it was named for Trenton, N.
J., anyhow it was named after it.
Now, in that thicket was a man
who came from Kentucky to Texas,
away back yonder. His name was
Connally, He had a son who became
a noted Baptist preacher, the Rev. J.
W. Connally. Papa Connally was
the Trenton reporter for the Bonham
News, and he wrote over the pen-
name of Wild Cat. He was one of
the most interesting writers on the
News’ staff of pencil pushers . The
Connallys contributed no small part
in clearing the thicket and thinning
the wild cats.
Since then Trenton has grown in
to a good little town. It has a news-
paper, run by Tom Holmes—his
father before him ran it, if we have
the dope straight—anyhow, it is a
good paper, well printed.
Trenton’s schools were already
good but it took another school dis-
trict, Gentry, and moved it to Tren-
ton, body breeches and all, and just
to make it unanimous, they brought
along the kids in busses!
In the course of time the Culture
Club was evolved, and the P.-T. A.
U*an to function. In the meantime
but thereafter some time, Clint Mlc-
Millen got the job as mayor. Then
he was elected president of the Farm-
ers and Merchants League—a regu-
lar town and country builder. The
other officers are Glen Earnhart,
•vice-president; W. B. Barrett, sec-
retary, and J. A. Barrett, treasurer^
This organization has for its ob-'
jactive, or one of them, the building
of roads. It also has the vision of
a gymnasium for the school, and the
way it is going after them means it
will get them both!
Monday night, February 21, the
town undertook, with the help of the
P.-T. A., the Culture Club and others
to have a banquet and discuss the
matters mentioned. The weather
was too bad, so it was postponed un-
til Monday night, the 28th, and here
is the program of the occasion:
Sing S’ong, Coach Fowler.
Wellcome, Clarence T. Jones.
Song and dance, Peggy Ooten.
Invocation, Rev. J. B. Hibbert.
Dinner, Trenton Culture Club.
Accordian solo, Peggy Bailey.
Song, Mary Cornelia Roberts.
Boy Scout Talk, Hank McLain.
Introduction of speaker, Roy
Clendinning.
Address, John Perry.
Remarks, Clint McMillen.
Benediction, R. G. Robinson.
J. C. McMillen presided, or as his
friends call him, Clint. He used to
play third base on a baseball team,
and he runs things o. k., just like he
watched the “hot corner”. Nothing
seems to be attempted in Trenton in
which Clint does not have a hand
dealt him, and does he play it.!
The main speech was by John
Perry, who happens to be president
of a bank in Sherman. He knows a
lot of things besides bank deposits,
frozen assets and hot checks! He
was reared on a farm, and he can
talk that language like a native,
which he is.
For nearly one hour this man of
the swivel chair in the inner office
of the bank held his hearers.
We are getting along too fast.
We should back up and talk about
the dinner. It was excellent—no
discounting that. The Culture Club
and the P.-T. A contain some artists
as well as artisans in the culinary
line. Fully one hundred attested the
excellency of the dinner, for the best
test of the pudding is in eating
of it always. Those plates hardly
heeded any ablutions, after those
guests got through with them.
Following Mr. Perry’s efforts, it
was a sort of catch-as-catch-can
speaking contest, with Clint McMil-
lin as referee. Anybody who had
anything on his chest could get it
off, and he did. It was a big night
for Trenton, and a bigger one for
those who were lucky enough to be
there.
Some of the Bonham crowd went
over the dirt road, which approxi-
mates the new road icontemplated,
leaving out an uncountable number
of crooks and turns in the thorough-
fare, that one now encounters, as he
tries to follow it—it will be great,
when completed, and the paths made
straight. Then the Trenton people
who have to come here on business
or to sit on the jury, (they do not
get into trouble much in Trenton,)
will have a road that is about six-
teen miles long, on which to travel,
and the Randolph people can come on
the same road. When the weather
is bad, under the present circum-
stances, Trenton has to go via Bells
to Bonham, which is just about thir-
ty miles—the saving in gasoline
would eventually, not now, pay for
the road.
There are a number of high lights
on the program herewith, and one of
them was the beautiful singing of

DAIRY MEETING
Farmers and dairymen will be in-
terested in a mass meeting at the
district court room Monday, March.
7 at 7:30 p. m. C. F. Winzel, an ex-
pert on the feeding and care of dairy
cattle, will speak at that tim.e He will
discuss feeding and care, trench silos:
and the use of home grown feeds. A.
field representative of Kraft-Phenix.
Cheese Corp. is also expebted to be
present.
Mrs. J. A. Wallace of Colorado^
Texas, is visiting her daughter, Mrs-
E. W. Chaffin, who lives near Bon-
ham.
Miss Mary Cornelia Roberts, whose
home is near Whitewright. She sang
one number in English, and another
in Spanish—something about a Mexi-
can cowboy, one of the hooie hom-
bros, was bragging to his best senor-
ita, and was he making her believe
it! At a later time in the program
by request, Miss Roberts sang, “La
Paloma,” which she also gave in Es-
panole.
There were people there from
Leonard, Bailey, Randolph, White-
wright, Sherman, Denison, Tom
Beam Bonham and perhaps other
postoffices, and the following were'
noted from Bonham: Buster Cole,
Louis Woosley, Olvin Gross, J. I.
Boon, W. E. Newton, Deets Dor-
ough, L. R. Burkett, C. R. Inglish,-
Frank Wright, and Charley Jones.
Savoy sent Hamp Harper, and Deni-
son sent Claude Easterly, of the
Denison Herald, and Lloyd Moore,
who is a singer something akin ta
Nelson Eddy, but like the banker
mentioned, left his note case at
home.
The Trenton people have the right
idea. They are hitching the folks in
the country and the town together,
and with a long pull they are going
to do things worth while—watch
’em.
