The meeting at the Christian
church continues and the inter-
est is splendid. Good audiences
are present each night, and all
enjoy the clear, forcible preach-
ing of Evangelist Marshall and
the good singing, led by Mr.
Harbison., There have been six
additions to the church.
One of the.very pleasant social
events of the year was the en-
tertainment of the Episcopal la-
dies last Friday afternoon by
Mrs, R. J. Thomas at her beau-
tiful home on Church street. A
very pleasing musical program
was carried out and the evening
was one of many pleasures.

afford to believe and in fighting
ticks. -

planning and erection of Honey
Grove’s new building.

Antonio. Miss Grace had been
at San Antonio about three 1
months for the benefit of her J
health, and Miss Philippi went

will spend a few weeks with
lome folk and then go to Fort

AT THE TABERNACLE
Next Sunday—3 O’clock
ly said, the lives of the happy young
people were joined by the authority of
God and His church.
This wedding was one of much inter-
est in the social circles of our city on
account of the wide-spread popularity
of those who entered into the holy re-
lation. The bride is one of Honey
Grove’s fairest and best young women,
and the groom one who is so worthy
and genial that every acquaintance is a
warm friend.
Mr. and Mrs. Brenneman left on the
18:30 train for Hugo, where they will
spend several days with relatives.
Rayburn’s Date Postponed.
Hon. Sam Rayburn, who had
an appointment to speak in this
city Thursday night, postponed
I the speaking on account of the
revival meeting now in progress.
Another date will be announced
in a few days. ^
The first cotton bloom of the
season showed up Wednesday.
The pretty white harbinger of
fleecy staple was handed in by
Mr. James, who farms on the
Luttrell place near town. June
12 is very early for a cotton
bloom; if our memory is not out
of joint, it’s the earliest date
that a blossom of our great staple
crop was ever exhibited in Honey
Grove. ________
Take Notice.—We do all kinds
of buggy trimming, such as mak-
ing and recovering cushions,
lots. All people are also urged
to cut all the dead trees, as they
are very unsightly. With the
cooperation of all Honey Grove
can win the prize.

Advice
This advice was given to a
friend one day last week who
was
Dr. Black Dead.
Dr. John S. Black, whose serious ill-
ness was mentioned in last week’s
paper died at his home in Lannius Wed-
nesday afternoon of acute kidney
trouble. His illness was very serious
from the beginning and he continued to
grow worse until his sufferings were
ended by death.
In the death of Dr. Black the world
sustained a serious loss. He was a man
in whom every acquaintance had the
utmost confidence and whose. life -was
one of service. A native of Alabama,
Dr. Black moved to Texas in 1876, lo-
cating at Mount Pleasant, where he
practiced his profession for several
years. In 1898 he moved to Honey
Grove and resided here for four years,
and then moved to Lannius. He was
for many years a member of the Meth-
odist church, and lived a consecrated
Christian life. He is survived by his
wife, and three children, a daughter
and two sons. The funeral was con-
ducted at the residence at 8 o’clock yes-
terday morning by Rev. J. R. Atchley

The election held in April,
when bonds to the amount of
$19,000 were voted for a high
school building, has been de-
clared invalid by the Attorney
General’s department. The
order for the election and the
ordinance stated that the bonds
were to be used in “building and
equipping” a high school build-
ing, and the Attorney General
rules that the proceeds of the
sale of bonds cannot be used in
equipping a school building, and
that the election is therefore
void. This is unfortunate, and
will delay further the erection
of the building, but the people
want the building, and in a very
short time another election will
be ordered and held, and the
Signal is confident that the issue
will be carried by as great, or a
greater majority than at the first
lection.

When it comes to traveling,
nothing is in it with a rumor.
Express trains, air ships and
automobiles do fairly well for
slow-traveling but all these are
easily out-classed by rumors.
Just an instance: last Friday

Mrs. J. C. McKinney and
daughter, Miss Katherine, and
Miss Grace Lowry witnessed the
marriage of Miss Mary Eva
Barron to Mr. James Latham, at
Bonham Wednesday evening.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. A. Barron, of Bon-
ham, who are well known here.
It seems but a year or two back
since Mr. Barron was a neighbor
and a bachelor, but time has
been busy and has wrought
changes rapidly. The bachelor
neighbor of yesteryear has seen
go out from his home a beautiful
daughter to adorn a home of her
own. The bride is a young
woman of attractive personality.
She is pretty, she has a bright
mind stored with useful
knowledge, and her physical and
mental charms shine with great-
er splendor because of her beauti-
ful Christian character. The
groom is a young business man
of Dublin, and we learn with
much pleasure that he is a splen-
did fellow, worthy of the rich
prize he has won in Hymen’s
lottery. The Signal truly wishes
the daughter and son-in-law of
his old friend and neighbor un-
stinted happiness and good for-
tune. May their home be a

that said minister was seriously j ■ tj— -
ill and prayers ascended for his! On the criminal docket of the
recovery. Next morning when j Monkstown court Monday were
we reached town we were told ;more than 100 cases. In the
.....Honey Grove justice court there
were 65 cases. Most of these
were crap shooting charges
against negroes. Whenever
negroes begin to work in gangs,
hoeing or picking cotton, they
begin to shoot craps. If the
penalty should be made death or
life-service they would shoot
craps just the same. It is as
much a part of a negro* s nature
to throw the speckled cubes and
call “seben or eleben” as it is to
eat water melon or ’possum.
The Legislature should hasten to
declare crap shooting, when en-
gaged in by negroes, to be no
violation of the laws against
gaming. _____
