Hubert Cotton Given 12 Years
Last Saturday afternoon the
jury in the case of Hubert Cot-
ten, charged with the killing of
George Green, returned a ver-
dict, giving Cotten twelve years
in the penitentiary. The case of
Ira Cotten, indicted for the same
offense, was called on Tuesday.
—Quinlan (Hunt Co.) Review. J
The Cotten boys are sons of
Z. T. Cotten, who for a number
of years lived on Blossom prai
rie, and ha& many friends in this
section who deeply regret the
tragedy that has come into his
family. This Is the second trial
of the case, the first resulting
in a hung jury, four of the jurors
wanting to give him two years,
and the other eight were for ac-
quittal. An appeal has been ta-
ken in the case of Hubert, and a
motion fora change of venue in
the case of Ira has been made.

Catch Five Fox
R. T. Mitchell and Dick Rob-
erts of Fulbright, Henry Jones
of Sylvan, and Mr. Crumley of
Petty, were in Oklahoma fox
hunting last week. They caught
five gray fox, and brought three
of them back alive There were
thirteen dogs in the pack, and
Mr. Mitchell says that at no
time was the party more than
300 yards from the dogs, al
though they had some very tired
horses when the races were over.
They caught a fox that local
sportsmen said could not be cap-
tured. They had one of the fin-
est packs of hounds to be found
in the state, however. Twopf
the dogs were lost in the chase,
but one of them has since come
in.
J.R Petty of Pattonville, was in
Deport on business Wednesday.
He reports that some of the late
cotton is up, but the leaves are
very small, and it is sickly look
ing on accountof the cool weather
we have been having.

We Invite You

make, that your wants may be fully supplied with
this season’s merchandise prior to retail advances which
must surely come, once present stocks are exhausted.

Married
Mr. B. Francis and Miss Vene
Burrous of the Minter section
were united in marriage last Sat
urday afternoon at the Meth
odist parsonage, Rev. C. P.
Combs performing the cere-
mony. The bride is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bur-
rous and the groom the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Alex Francis.
They are fifteen and seventeen,
respectively. The Idea of an
elopement probably originated
in a play recently presented at
Minter in which the contracting
parties took prominent parts.
They decided to make it real.
The Times joins their friends in
congratulations and best wishes.
Buy Section Of Land
Joel Gunn and Jack Walker of
Deport, Joe and Hawk Dillard
and Dutch Hulett of Minter, re
turned Friday from a two
weeks’ trip to points in Jones
and Taylor counties on a pros
pecting trip. They took camp-
ing outfits along, and lived in the
open. Messrs. Gunn and Walk-
er purchased a section of land
in Jones county. That country
has had good rains this spring,
and the price of land has ad-
vanced from the low level follow
ing the drought from $5 to $15
per acre.
Delta Bonds Sold
Delta county has sold half of
her million dollars worth of road
bonds to a St. Lonis banking
concern for 98 cents on the dol-
lar. This is the first county road
bond issue we have heard of
selling for less than par, but
Delta is a very small county,
and her road tax to raise the
money to pay interest and re
deem these bonds will be more
than one dollar on the $100 val-
uation.
Deport’s Graduating Class
The Deport graduating class

Graduation
Graduation day with its flowers and youthful
heart throbs, conies to many only once in a lifetime.
In the days to come the tender memory is recalled,
perhaps by a song; the fragrance of flowers or the sight of the gift
you gave. Make it a useful one.
