GIRL’S CLASS IN. WOODWORK
In respons# to a cordial invita-
tion from the department, the
trip to the lower Devils river i J-Tac sent a reporter down to
intry.
A light frost at Stephenville
followed the norther of March 9.
It did no damage except to early
Irish potatoes.
Rev. A. C. Crittenden of the
Fort Worth Seminary will preach
at both morning and night ser-
vices. Everybody cordially invit-
ed to attend these services at the
Baptist church.

I Miss Mayhew of T .W .C., Fort
Worth, was the week-end guest of
Mrs. V. M .Cox, Jr. She is a
splendid violinist and rendered
two solos at the Methodist church
last Sunday.
\ Dr. Tate says he will soon be
able to step out of his door and
go to every store in town, the
post office, and to our $50,000 pub-
lic school building, $25,000 Meth-
odist church, and lots of other
-places and not put a foot on the
ground. Who else can say that?

class in cabinet making.
The girls are doing fine. They
have, in only two months, made a
mortice and tenon joint that pass.
*d the eye of Mr. Funkhouser,
and are now on a real piece of
furniture—a book stand. During
this reporter’s visit Mary Davidge
had a three-foot finish plane try-
ing to knock the superfluous bark
off the outer edges of a board;
Isla was staining her book stand
with more effect to her clothing
than to the lumber; while Dot
was trying to bore a bole with a
screw driver. But all were equal-
ly industrious. However there is
not one of them who cannot new
tell a nail from n screw or the
'-chisel from the screwdriver. They
went on to tell us that they were
making the blue prints of a love-
ly period victrola cabinet which
would be their next piece of
handiwork. But somebody had to
spoil it all by saying that it was
the most sensible course in col-
lege for a girl, as they could now
go fifty-fifty on the furniture.
Now Mr. Funkhouser can’t inter-
est them in anything except roll-
ing pins.
The party left town about seven
o’clock in a Ford truck for -Gent
ry’s bridge. Unfortunately one of
the girls brought .her french heel
in contact with a tire which
caused a blow-out. After some
delay this was mended and the
party moved on but a stop was
made at Valley Grove instead of.
the bridge. Here the boys built
a large fire and lunch was pre-
pared. Games were played until
about ten when the pleasure seek-
ers started for town. A splendid
time was enjoyed by those pres-
ent.

T. P. Markman, in charge of
the Western Union Telegraph of-
fice at this place fo rthe past
several years, has resigned and
was checked out Thursday, being
relieved by Miss Rae Young. The
service that Mr. Markham has
rendered year in and year out has
always been indeed gratifying
and resignation has given officials
of the company cause for regret,
as well as patrons of the office
here. However, Mr. Markham was
frank to admit that his successor,
Miss Young, was one of the most
efficient members in the employ of
the Western Union and he pre-
dicted the same good service as
heretofore. Thfe many friends of
Mr. Markham will be glad to
know that he has no intention of
leaving the city, but will at once
engage himself in the insurance
business. His efficiency will un-
doubtedly insure a healthy busi-
ness from the start and the
Tribune joins in wishing him all
manner of success and prosperity.
