INSPECTOR MASON MAKES JUNCTION EDITOR COMES
TRIP TO BARKSDALE. HOME FOR WEDDING.
Willis Mason, inspector for
the Livestock Sanitary Commis-
sion for the counties of Menard,
Kimble, Sutton and Edwards,
was in Barksdale last week to
meet the inspector from Real
County, J. D. Wiley. They
were discussing the proposition
of the present quarantine of the
townsite of Barksdale. There
are about ten cows in the town
under quarantine, and the two
inspectors decided that at dip-
ping time, they would meet
there and allow the people of
the town to dip in the vats that
were most convenient, whether
In Edwards or Real County.
Kimble County now has only
six premises under quarantine,
and no ticks have been found
since last Spring. Mr. Mason
believes this county to be abso-
lutely free of ticks and predicts
that we will not likely be trou-
bled further with the fever tick.
The six premises comprise on-
ly about 3,500 acres, which is
less than one-half of one |x>r
cent of the county.
TWO WERE BURIED IN
JUNCTION SUNDAY.
W. B. Waggoner, familiarly
known to most of the |>eople in
i hi?' i iiwiiH “Dad, died Ml
the home of his son nctr llext,
last Saturday, and was buried
here Sunday, Rev. Skaggs con-
ducting the funeral sendees.
Deceased was born in Illinois
79 years ago, and came to Texas
when near the age of thirty. He
has lived in Kimble County for
thirty nine years, of which some
fifteen years were spent in Junc-
tion, the last six or eight years
of which he was janitor at the
school or court house. He es-
tablished the first store at Roose
velt and was the first postmas-
ter then*
Surviving him are nine child-
ren. During his later years
w hen he was serving as Janitor,
he took a great interest in his
work and his pride in the »|k
issuance of the court house
yard resulted in his keeping one
of the prettiest and cleanest
court yattis that could be found
anywhere. His work around the
court yard allowed him to come
in contact with many people,
ami he always took much inter-
est in local politics.
Mrs. Isaac McDonald died at
the family home in Junction Sat
urday night and was buried at,
the local cemetery Sunday, Rev.
R. E. Parker conducting the ser-!
vices. The two ftmorals took

of Junction knew that their pop-
1 ular editor and his sweetheart
left that town for Stephenville
last week. Neither did they
know that the couple were com-
; ing back to the editor’s old home
with the avowed purpose of get-
ting married. But it happened
in good fashion, and Mr. H. G.
Ferry and Miss Dorris Wright
were joined in matrimony at the
| court house in Stephenville, by
County Judge A. P. Young, the
i Judge being a life-long friend of
the Perry family.
For the past t\Vo years Mr.
| Perry has been editor and man-
ager of the Junction Eagle, the
; only newspaper in Kimble Coun-
, ty, and he has had a remarkable
success, and at the present time
1 owns a number of shares of the
[stock in the corporation. Pre-
' vious to his removal to Junction
he was representative from
Krath County in the Texas Leg-
islature, and made for himself
an enviable record. Ho was also
in the late world war as a can-
tain in the l \ S. cavalry. He
is a son of Mr. and Mrs. R. U.
Perry, who live west of Stephen-
ville.
-Miss \\ i igb{ is one of the fin* j
cat young ladies Junction ever
'Uni, ><> the Tribune has ii, and
surely her marriage to Mr. Per-
ry will revolve into a happy
companionship through life.
The happy couple left Ste-
phenville for the return in their
ear ami intended to make sever-
al stops along the route. The
many good friends of Mr. Perrv
showered their congratulations
upon him ami Mrs. Perry on
their short stay in the city and
wish for them every success in
life,—Stephenville Tribune.

Today the sky is blur*—the wind blows trvsh and cool

Today the world is happy and all our lives are bright.
We work ami play most joyously from morn 'til night

The bird that sings tomorrow* will say the year is old;

And soon tomorrow with its mournful way
Will turn into another glorious today.
