East Texu Shim’
Association to Mast
In Wills Point
The East Texas Singers’ as-
sociation, an organization
gospel singers and musicians,
composing all of East Texas
beginning with an imaginary
line running north and south
through Dallas will hold its
sixth annual convention in the
city of Wills Point, Texas,
June, 25th, 28th, and 27th,
same being Friday and Satur-
day before the fourth Sunday.
This convention draws large
numbers of singing men and
women from all parts of Tex-
as, Louisiana, Arkansas, Ok-
lahoma, and New. Mexico, and
this year promises to be the
best attended convention in its
history. It is the large at-
tendance which attracts the
attention and presence of so
many different music publish-
ing houses throughout the
south. Many of the musk
bouses have from one to.three
professional quartets, other
publishers come “single han-
ded” all of which adds much
variety and pleasure to the
convention.
The commercial club is be-
hind the convention and is
making preparation to take
care of several thousand visi-
tors. Nothing is being left
undone which will add to the
comfort and pleasure of the
visiting singers.
Now, Mr. Singer, can you
imagine anything grander
'hac the blending of five hun-
dred trained voices in a great
chorus, under the direction of
great leaders? Make your
preparation to attend this
convention the three full days
for it will be a grand opportu-
nity to meet our great song
writers, poets and publishers.
Snch association will be bene-
ficial to all. Further particu-
lars can be had by addressing
the secretary of the Commer-
cial club, or W. M. Byrne, sec-
retary-treasurer of the asso-
ciation, at Nacogdoches, Tex.
KRISTENSEN-SH1PP
Mr. Wallace Kristensen of
this city and Miss Lou Willie
Shipp of Garrison, were unit-
ed in marriage last Sunday
night. The young couple mo-
tored to Tyler and were mar-
ried at the Methodist parson-
age in that city, the pastor of
the Methodist church of that
city officiating. Following the
ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Kris-
tensen came to Timpson where
they will make their home.
The bride is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Shipp of
Garrison and has countless
friends in that city where she
has grown into young woman-
hood. *
The bride-grocm is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. G. Kristensen
of this city. He is a young
man of splendid business abil-
ity, and has many fdends in
our little city.
TROUP TOMATO
SHIPMENTS TO
SET RECORD
Troup, Tex., June 8.—A
record for a huge volume of
tomato shipments this season
from Troup is looming. Two
days after the opening of the
market the tomatoes received
here amounted to fully seven
carloads, with s surplus in
the packing sheds.
Loads of tomatoes are com-
ing here from Smith. Chero-
kee, Rusk and Anderson coun-
ties. Attracted by the Troup
competitive markets, growers
have hauled tomatoes here
over distances of nearly 50
miles.
Crews are working at the
packing sheds and loading
platforms through greater
pa:t; of the nights in order to
handle the huge influx of to-
matoes.
The magnitude of the toma-
to marketing at Troup this
eti-;cn is without parallel in
the history of the town and
its tributary communities. Su-
. nerior marketing facilities and
lively competition that man-
tains high prices are drawing
wagon loads and truck loads
of tomatoes from a large ter-
ritory.
"Everything there but the
inclination,” remarked a Tex-
arkanan as he surveyed the
muscle of his right arm and
hired a man to do some work
in his yltrd.—Texarkana
Gazette.
Hone Talent Production
Pleases Large Audience
That the “Flapper Grand
mother,” staged last evening
at the school auditorium by
our local talent under the
auspices of the Parent-Teach-
er Association was a huge
success, was self-evident from
the roar of applause that
greeted each successive ring-
ing down of the curtain, aa
well as the spontaneous out-
bursts with which every spe-
cialty was favored by an ad-
miring audience.
The cast fitted ideally the
parts for which each were se-
lected to fill, and their ready,
pleasing interpretation of the
characters they sought to por-
tray exhibited a charm and an
individual talent that did not
fail to win its way into the
hearts of their listeners.
This play was a succession
of clever unique surprises
from the very opening of the
evening. The many catchy
songs freely interspersed with
the thread of the main play
served as a pleasing part of
the entertainment.
No small feature was the
work of the little folks in
their cote ragdoll and dummy
costumes, doing a midnight
dance, led by the graceful lit-
tle elf in Halloween garb.
Chief among the actors were
the chorus girls, with their de-
lightful dances and ever
banging costumes.
No single actor received
heartier applause than Den-
nard Haden in the conelnaion
of the master exhibition of his
Charleston specialty.
Much amusement was af-
forded by the black-faces in
their usual roles of fun-
makers.
One of the most laughable
scenes of the entire perform-
ance was the entrance of the
Matrons in their real old-fash -
ioaed costumes, bearing mar-
ket baskets and attending the
fire sale in Andrews' store.
Music by the orchestra un-
der their able leader, Mr.
Busey, lent much to the occa-
sion.
The financial returns from
this play were fully up to the
expectations of .those in
charge, and the Parent-Teach-
er Association feels gratified
over the results of their efforts,
as they feel a good evening’s
entertainment was offered all
those attending, and thns two
objects were attained in the
end.
The P.-T. A. wishes to ex-
press their gratitude to each
and every single person who
so freely gave of their time
and talent to make this effort
the glowing success it was.
Nothing could have been ac-
complished without the splen-
did spirit of co-operation that
was shown them throughout
the entire time of putting it
over.
We wish also to thank the
business men of the town for
their liberal support in help-
ing increase our fund by
their aid in the matter of pro-
grams.
And especially do we thank
the Times force for their gen-
erosity in the way of free
space in the Daily for P.-T. A.
use on any and all occasions.
Publicity. Chairman.

RAIL CROSSING
STATUTE REMAINS
WITHOUT CHANCE
Baton Rouge, June 8.—T
“Stop, Look and Listen" li
pissed by the legislature
1924 will remain on t
statute books as a result
the action of the senate Tues-
day night refusing to pass a
bill by Senator King of Cal-
casieu to require police juries
to designate certain railroad
crossings as dangerous and to
permit motorists to cross oth-
er crossings, at slow speed. An
attempt was made to repeal
the law last week, but it was
defeated.
When the King bill came up
Tuesday night a hot fight de-
veloped and raged for half an
hour. It ended in the defeat
of the bill on a tie vote of 18 to
18. Senator P. H. Gilbert of

An Irish Tarn
An Irishman, fresh and
green from Emerald Isle, arriv-
ed in New York. Going into a
cafe, he called for a lunch
which the waiter served in
courses. The first course was
soup served very thin. The
Irishman ate that and seeing a
bunch of celery on the table
thought it was all he was go-
ing to get. He ate the celery.
The waiter came around with
a broiled lobster.
"What’s that for?” asked
the Irishman.
“To eat,” replied the waiter,
“Well, I’ve eaten your bou-
quet and drunk tbe dishwater,
but I’ll be hanged if I eat that
bug.”—Exchange.
Center Champion.
The annual tour of the boys
and girls clubs of Shelby coun-
ty will be made the latter part
of July or the first of August,
according to plans formulated
last week, and probably will
include Baton Rouge, the seat
of the State University of
Louisiana and the capital of
that state, and New Orleans,
metropolis of the south.
At a committee meeting held
last week, the New Orleans
trip was tentatively decided
upon, after the commfttee had
considered the possibility of
this trip and also of a trip to
Hot Springe, Arkansas. While
the New Orleans trip is some-
what longer than the trip to
Arkansas, it was thought that
it would be of much greater
value to the boys and girls,
and for that reason the com-
mittee voted to make the trip
to the Creseent City.
Should plans for the trip
materialize, and it is consider-
ed likely that they will, only
about 200 boys and girls will
be taken. Experience on the
two former long trips of the
Shelby county dubs have
proved that to take a larger
number of boys and girls so
delays the trip and makes the
caravan so hard to manage
that it is impracticable to take
more than 200.
-The trip, as in the past, will
be in direct charge of C. P.
Scurlock, county agent, and
Miss Zola Mae Hill, home
demonstration agent, with
committee of adults from the
various centers in tbe county.
It is expected that interest m
the trip this year will be great-
er than in the past two years.
One o'f the features of the
New Orleans trip, aside from
the visit to the city, will be
the stop over in Baton Rouge.
Here it is planned to visit the
agricultu al college of the
Louisian". State University.
This is one of the most com-
plete agricultural colleges in
the sou:h, and recently has
been rebuilt at a cost of more
than five million dollars. The
buildings are the mod modern
in use in the United States,
and are adapted to agricultur-
al study in the south. Officials
of the university are anxious
that the trip should be made
into Louisiana this year, so
tnat the boys and girls will
have the opportunity of visit-
ing the agricultural college.
The state capital of Louis-
iana is also located Baton
Rouge, and an opportunity
would be afforded to visit the
state house and state depart-
ments. Many of the state de-
partments, however, are locat-
ed at New Orleans. The refin-
eries of the Standard Oil com-
pany also are located at Baton
Rouge.
The trip would be made by
way of Alexandria, when the
first night stop likely would be
made. Several days would be
allowed for the boys and girls
to see the sights in New Or-
leans. A visit to this city alone
is an education. It orginally
was founded by the French
settlers, and many of the old
French buildings still stand.
Customs in this quaint city are
much different from those of
other cities of similar size.
At New Orleans there would
be an opportunity of seeing
the largest of oceans going
ships, loading at the docks
along the Mississippi river.
The United States Naval
Station at Algiers, across the
Mississippi river from New
Orleans, also would be visited
by the boys and girl*. This is
the largest naval base in the
south, and daring the war
many navy men from Texas
were trained at this station. .
Many other places of inter-
est also would be visited by
the boys and girls during the
few days at New Orleans.
The idea ef making the
summer educational tours was
launched two years ago, and
was immensely popular. The
first trip, under the direction
of H. B. Ross, was the famous
“1,000-Mile Trip” which took
seme 350 boys and girls by au-
tomobile through the eentral
part of the state', and includ-
ed visits to Waco, Austin, San
Antonio and College Station.
The objective of this trip was
the short course at Texas A.
M. College, where the boys
