Special assembly of Bonham
Council No. 37, R. & S. M.
I for work tonight at 6 o’clock.
Candidates take notice.
M. A. TAYLOR, T. I. M.
All Northeast Bonham citizens were
much alarmed over the disappearance
last night of Josie )May Martin,
daughter of Mrs. Isaac Martin of
Lovelace community about three or
four miles north of the city. The child
attends school at Bailey Inglish, in
the fourth grade. Together with ber
brothers they drive in to school each
morning and sometimes the boys play
ball while the little sister stays
around with her friends until late in
the evening when they all go home
together. When the boys were ready
last evening Josie could not be located.
On reaching home she had not been
seen so two trips were made back to
the city without success. Mr. Oliver
and faculty exerted every effort to
locate the child even to search the
building in the night.
The frantic mother kept phoning
and as the child was never known to
spend a night away from home even
with relatives, the alarm was natural.
In an unthoughted moment it seems
the child was persuaded by some play-
mate to stay all night in town, and
it is thought the excitement put out
for the time the thought of the wrong
she was doing not to let her mother
know just where and with whom she
was. She little knew the anguish of
her mothers’s heart during these
wearing hours as it was nearly 11
o’clock last night before she was lo-
cated.

A WORD FROM BRO. TITTLE.
I take this method of informing the
Methodists in particular and the pub-
lic in general, that I am steadily im-
proving. Can’t say at this time wheth-
er or not I shall be able to be in the
public service next Sunday. Will try
to have preaching service Sunday
morning. Let everybody pull for a
great Sunday school. Look for an-
nouncement in tomorrow’s paper.
W. L. TITTLE, Pastor.
“JEFF” FINLEY LAYING OFF.
Big “Jeff” Finley who pulls the bell
cord on the Fannin County Flyer into
and out of Bonham on the Katy, is
taking a lay-off. In his absence J. P.
Montgomery is on the famous little
train as conductor.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
What is the cause of most
cases of dyspepsia? Ini*
proper mastication of food?
Why is food improperly
masticated? Because the
teeth are not in perfect or-
der, and the most of the
food is “bolted” instead of
being chewed, and sent into
the stomach in a semi-liquid
form. You see it gets right
down to a question of teeth,
good teeth, and all the teeth.
I supply good teeth. 1 eith*
er fill your bad teeth arid
make them good or put on
serviceable and comfortable
gold crowns. Do not hesi-
tate through fear of pain—-
there will be no pain if I do
your work, and I positively
guarantee it to give you
satisfaction.

PUCK’S FAIRY
FRIENDS COMING
WILL APPEAR AT THE HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM NEXT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Once upon a time—yes, all fairy
stories begin in this way. This is a
fairy story, too. It deals with Puck,
a mischievous sprite, one of Shakes-
peare’s most famous creations, and
a host of Puck’s fairy friends. Trouble
begins when King Oberon, at outs
with his Queen Titania, seeks revenge
by asking Puck to work his charms
upon the obstinate woman. Puck
meets a gang of Athenian workmen,
places by magic the head of an ass
upon their leader, Bottom, and causes
Titania to fall in love with Bottom.
Then, not content, Puck squeezes the
juice of a strange flower upon the
eyes of some Athenian lovers, and
such a mix-up results that an au-
dience is entertained by two hours
of hilarious fun in watching matters
righted.
All readers of Shakespeare are ac-
quainted with “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream,” and all who know it love it.
For weeks Miss Jule Duncan has been
directing a large cast of students
who are to put on this play at the
commencement exercises of the High
School next Wednesday night. The
music, the scenery, the costumes, the
plot—everything about the play in
fact, will interest the most jaded lis-
tener. And, as everybody goes to the
closing exercises of the school, of
course- you will be at the High School
auditorium Wednesday night.

DEATH OF E. A. PARKER.
E. A. Parker, who for a number of
years had made his home in Ivanhoe,
died Wednesday and was buried yes-
terday at the Bettes graveyard, one
of the largest funeral, processions ever
seen in that country following the re-
mains to their last resting place.
Mi. Parker was one of Fannin Coun-
ty’s good citizens. One who will be
missed ip his community, and a man
any community could illy spare. He
was buried by the Woodman order, the
Edhube camp. The Favorite is advis-
ed, taking the initiative in the ritual.
For about sixteen years Mr. Parker
-was connected with the Woodman
lodge at Ivanhoe in an official capaci-
ty, which alone attests the esteem in
which he was held by his brother
lodgemen.
