VOL. XXV
CARROLLTON, DALLAS COUNTY’ TEXAS. FRIDAY. MARCH 22. 1929
NUMBER IS
Hass Meeting Name Can-
didates for Aldermen
A mass meeting of Carrollton
citizens was held Monday night
in tha Myers Theatre building
for the purpose of naming can-
didates for aldermen to serve the
city for two years. W L. Martin
was selected as chairman of the
meeting and C. L. Chastain as
its secretary. It was decided to
name numerous condidates for
the offices to be filled and thus
have a number from whom the
voter could select the three on
April 2nd to serve the term.
The following were named as
candidates;
J. W. Sincler
Mrs. J. M. Allen
Roy Gravley
Wylie Skelton
A. S. Hall
W. T. Vandergriff.
There are three aldermen to
be selected at the election and
those elected are to serve two
years. Next year, then, there
will be a mayor, two councilmen,
city clerk, marshall to be elected
to serve two years. This will get
the city government working in
the manner it was planned to
work and not have the entire
roster of city officials to retire at
one time. Last year a full quota
of officials was selected and to
get the plan working as it was
planned and really should be
three councilmen, Sincler, Gray
ley and Vandergriff resigned,
and this election is to fill those
places for the two year term.
While they were really elected
for aDd entitled to another year
in office to get the machinery
working as it should this method
was employed.
Tendering his resignation as
pastor of First Baptist church
of this place, Rev. C. D. Hardy
took his congregation by sur-
prise last Sunday. Rev. Hardy
came here from the W co terri-
tory nearly eight months ago
and holding a revival meeting
soon after his arrival added con-
siderably to his church member-
ship. He has been serving here
on a half-time schedule and his
new field offers greater oppor-
tunity for labor, he leels. and
hence the move.
His new location wi,l be Rox-
ton, Lamar county, where they
have a large congregation with
about 270 members and a hand'
some brick house of worship.
Besides that there are in the
county nineteen pastorless
charges and worn in plenty
awaits the harvester who will
enter the work.
This week or early next week
Rev. Hardy plans to move to the
new field. The best wishes of the
Carrollton congregation go with
him and his wife into their new
field of endeavor.
E. E. and J. F. Williams who
farm just north of Carrollton are
preparing to care for a larger
acreage of land with less expense
and they purchased of Meador &
Blakomore one of those ,two-row
Moline cultivators which that,
company have been advertising
in the Chronicle for a couple of
weeks. Mr. Meador delivered the
new labor saving implement last
Friday. When one man culti-
vates two rows at a time in place
of only one he cuts down expense.
The William brothers plan to
care for 220 acres of crops and
need to economize on labor.
I. B. Cupp was in Carrollton
Thursday morning getting work
done and inserted an advertise-
mentof his Brook Hollow Store
in the Chronicle. He stated that
H. B. Simmons who had been
assisting at the store for some
lime has returned to his home.
Rev. Hardy Resigned
Carrollton School Winnings
That a real Clean-up Campaign
is needed in Carrollton is assert-
ed by almost everyone, then why
not have it; Too wet? Well there
will come dry days soon and we
should be ready for them. The
City Council has named the Com-
mittee, Councilmen Sincler and
Squibb, and they will have their
plans laid to have the tra3h car-
ried away so it behooves proper-
ty owners to get ready for the
event and be ready when the
trash wagons come. Let us have
Carrollton looking spic and span,
and keep her that way.
The Dallas District Christian
Endeavor held their spring con-
vention in Waxahachie, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, the fi.ial
session being held at 4 p. m.
Sunday. A program of much
interest was carried out. Pro-
gram of Saturday was of unusual
interest when topics of more
than ordinary importance were
taken up.
Mr. H. R. Lord of Hebron was
in Carrollton Wednesday and
placed an advt for improved cot
ton seed in the Chronicle. He
states that work is progressing
on the new gin at Hebron; that it
will be equipped with 4-80 Con-
tinental gins and be operated
with electric power. Is being
built of iron and concrete and be
right up to the minute as regards
cotton ginning capabilities. They
will build a 100 bale capacity
cotton house.
At the County Interscholastic
meet held in Lancaster last Sat-
urday seven Carrollton contest
ants made winning marks as
follows:
Jimmie Knight, Spelling, First
Place.
Pattie Loise Refry. Language,
Third Place
Pattie Lois Perry, Oral Reading,

Norma Vinson, Arithmetic, First

Charline Calloway, Oral Reading,

ous Speaking, Second Place
Others entering contests: Ell—
ouise Chastain, G. W. Sanford,
Frederic Mayes, Loda Bell Mc-
Right, Marcelle Breedlove, Nciar
Vaden. Charline Hurst.
We are proud of the showing
made by the Carrollton students
last Saturday at Lancaster. All
of the contestants did not win
places, but all of them did tneir
best. We did not enter the meet
with the intentions of winning
the all-around championship. To
have done so would have necessi-
tated considerable preparation,
and this could have been done
only at the sacrifice of regular
school work To make such a
sacrifice we were not willing.
The school appreciates the un-
selfish work of the teachers in
preparing the students for these
contests. They did it willingly,
and out of sincere desire to serve
the students and the school.
Such thoughtfulness of the stu-
dents and the school, and such
thoughtlessness of self, is char-
acteristic of the caliber of teach-
ers employed in the Carrollton
Shcool. *»*

Signing of the Peace Pact is a
welcome movement toward the
outlawing of war. So long as war
is or was legalized it was difficult
to make headway toward Peace.
And in speaking of war we mean
combat between nations. Inter-
nal war within the states or
nations are r.alters wholly with-
in the jurisdiction of the state or
nation involved, but war between
nations should and must be out-
lawed and done away with be-
i fore the mission of the Prince of
Peace can bear the fr-’its which
He and the Fatherdesigned when
his visit on earth was planned
and executed.
The United States gave to the
world the League of Nations and
then refit :d to enter and assist
in malting it the agency of which
it is capable. Terrible is the
shame thereof! To think that
political jealousies should be re-
sponsible for the delay in such
matters as Peace making!
But public opinion knew that
it wanted war outlawed and was
so insistent that something had
to be done and we are arriving at
the end by another and more
circuitious route. One writer in
a Sunday school magazine in an
article had this to say about war
and we lias’s it to you to show
that public opiuion does do
things, is insistent and in the end
will prevail and that the visit to
this earth of the Prince of Peace
is bearing fruit.
“War lega'ized killing. The
allies could not hang the Kaiser,
because Holland held that he was
not a criminal, inasmuch as war
was in good legal standing among
the nations. Now that war has
been delegalized, war-makers
Lumbermen Hold Ban-
quet and Talk Shop
Officers and managers of Lyon-
Gray Lumber Company from the
North Texas district met in Mc-
Kinney Saturday. March 9th,
held convention, talked shop and
had a banquet. C. W. Ramsey,
manager of Lyon-Gray yard it
this place was one of those pres-
ent and he says they had a rous-
ing good meeting, a glorious
banquet and lots of valuable
infOrBJAtion was broadcast and
the managers with good receiv-
ing sets could not help but gain
many good pointers from the
same.
Officials of the company at-
tending the session were W B.
Marsh, Dallas, president; H. B.
Hawley, Dallas, vice president
and general manager; R. B. Mar-
shall, D.allas, secretary; C. B.
Norwood and G. L. Berry, audi-
tors, Dallas.
There are thirty-six yards in
this North Texas district and
sixteen of these managers were
present. The company is one of
the real old and solid institu-
tion$T©f Tevas. They started
business in Sherman in 1876.
Capi O. T. Lyon being the orig-
inator and main spring in the

The mass meeting held Mon-
day night to nominate candidates
for aldermen was held in the
Myers Theatre thru the courtesy
of George F. Myers. It is a nice
place to bold such a gathering
as he certrinly has his place fix-
ed up comfortable and handy.
Carrollton has not had such a nice
place before or, since we have
known the town; seats are com-
fortaolie;''heating arrangements
are ample, and the interior dec*
orations are most pleasing to
the eye.
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Whitmore

were visiting in Carrollton Sun-
day. They are now located in
Holland where they have hot the

were formerly publishers of the
Chronicle.

,'Disillusionment has come. In
international law war is defined
as a properly conducted contest,
of armed public forces: This is
war as it seems in the lexicon—a
full dress society athletic func-
tion. War on the battle field is
not like that. War is cruelty; war
is a curse; war is barbarous; war
is crime; war is sin. A soldier
said, “I cannot bear to go into
the presence of God so angry as
I always become in battle.”
“War has been stripped of its
glory and its legality. Good will
and brotherhood are invading
the realm 'of Mars. War is
doomed.
“The words, “Si vis pacem,
para pacem,” are inscribed on
the pen used by our pepresenta-
tive in signing the Peace Pact—
“If you want peace prepare for
peace.”
“Let ministers preach peace in
the churches; let teac hers leach
peace in the schools; let editors
write peace in their journals; let
youth think peace; let citizens
will peace.
“For centuries the doors of
the i’emple of Janus in Rome had
been open—which meant, war

Show Interest in Highway
Ala public meeting held Mon-
day night in Carrollton the mat-
ter of completion of the highway
No. 77 thru Lewisville was taken
under discussion and it was de-
cided to see what could be done
to advance its completion. A
committee was appointed to visit
Lewisville and confer with citi-
zens there and see if a joint meet-
ing need be arranged to try and
hasten the completion of tha
“gap” that is a detriment to easy
travel up that way.
Walter Kennedy, Walter Staik.
J. W. Sincler, J. R. Davis, D J.
Bailey were the committee that
went to Lewisville Tuesday
morning and met the men there
who are trying to get the project
thru. Messrs Milligan and Hays
of the Lewisville committee and
Chas. Thomas another citizen
there assured our committee
that they were doing all they
could to hasten the work. They
had held a public meeting Mon-
day night and all phases of the
road question taken up. The
roadway south of town had been
secured and they were working
on it. It would cost, they esti-
mated, $6300 to secure right of
way north and at the meeting
$1250 of this had been raised and
they were at work to raise the re-
mainder. Commissioner Slaugh-
ter of Dallas county and R. A.
Thompson former state highway
engineer had been in attendance
at the meeting and lending ail
the assistance possible. The lat-
ter gentleman was assisting in
the suryey of the right of way.
Lewisville people feel that it will
be but a short time now until
they can get the actual work
under way north of town and
when that is done the gap will
not last long.
The interest of Carrollton peo-
ple was appreciated and they
welcomed the gentlemen warm-
ly. Knowing that they were not
alone in their desire to put across
the project helps in a moral way
even tho not of benefit monita-
rily.
The new well being dug for the
city is now down 309 feet and a
good strong flow of water is
found. There is a strata of hard
rock there and they are going to
drill thru this rock and into an
other sand and an extra strong
flow of water should be encoun-
tered. The water stands 209 feet
deep in the well at this time.
Some time ago, several months
in fact, this paper carried an
advertisement for Cedar Gar
ment Factory of Amsterdam, N.
Y. They sent cash in advance
for the advertisement and we
run them. This week we learn
from a party here who^nswered
the ad vertisement that they were
fraudulent. This party received
hack their communication with
thp notation on the envelope that
the mail was held up and return-
ed because the party to whom
addressed were engaged in
fraudulent enterprise. Thesfe
local parties lost no money, we
believe, because the government
stopped their letter and return-
ed it. We try to be careful in
carrying advertisements of this
nature but occasionally one will
slip in. We hope none of our
people were losers by their
machinations.
