Deport is Defeated
Needed a Stimulant
Tb« train stopped in a prohibi-
tion town, said to be Kilgore. A
thrust his head out the win-
dow and excitedly called out; ”A
woman has fainted in here- has
abyone any whiskey?” A man in
the crowd reluctantly put his
hand in his hip pocket and drew
out a bottle about half full and
handed it up to the man at the
| open window. To the astonish-
ment of all, the man put the bot-
tle to his lips and drained the
contents. Then, as the train
polled out, he called back to the
bewildered onlooker. It al-
ways did make me nervous to see
a woman faint.'*
VV. D. Martin has moved to
Kirkland County, and requests
that The Times be sent to him
there. The change was made
on account of his health.
The Deport and Mt Vernoo
football teams met on the local
grounds last Saturday morning
and at the end of the last quarter
the score was 26 to 0 in favor of
the Visitors. This was Deport’s
first matched game, and the
first season the game has ever
been plaved here.
A lack of practice and exper-
ience are responsible for defeat.
They put up a very good game
for raw players, however, and
with a little more experience
and coaching we will have a
splendid eleven. They repeated-
ly made gains thru the enemies
line by center rushes, but were
urable to handle forward passes
a id to form interference prompt-
ly and property. On the other
hand the visitors were unabla to
do anything on line plunges,
but with almost perfect inter-
ference made repeated gains
on end runs.
We will say for the benefit of
those who are not acquainted
with the game, that with the
exception* of baseball, it is
F. D. Webb Sr.. Dead.
F. D. Webb Hr., passed away
at his home here Saturday morn-
ing at ten o’clock. He had been
in ill health for nearly two jears,
caused by a tumor on the kidney.
An operation was performed
about a year ago, and It was
first thought that lie was ou the
road to recovery. Other com
plications developed, and he
gradually grew worse until the
end came. The funeral was
conducted Monday afternoon at
the home by Rev. P. D. Ausmus.
assisted by Rev. David J. Mur
ray, and interment was made at
the Deport cemetery.
Feak D. Webb was born near
Lexington, Tenn., May 4, 1869
In 1896 he was married to Miss
Alice Cunningham, and the
family came to Texas six years
later, locating at Deport. Four
sons were born to them—F. D
Jr., Grvan, Clifford and John.
He is also survived by his mother,
seven brothers and two sisters
—N. D. of Deport; Sam, Will,
Clyde, John and Joe of Lexington,
the ^’enn" an<* Claud of Vicksburg,
most popular game in the world Miss- Miss Ella Webb and Mr6
—a game that teaches more than
anything else, the necessity of
co-operation. For those who play
it, it develops physical fitness,
mental alertness, and sturdy,
moral character. It is the finest
training in the world for mind,
body, temper and moral fiber.
It develops courage, and self
reliance, aggressiveness, and a
sense of fair play—in short it is
the real game for red-blooded
American boys.

Another difficulty between a
white man and a negro occurred
on Main street last Saturday
morning. The trouble arose
over a negro acting as if he own-
ed the sidewalk. Ke was given
a beating and run out of town.

Must concede that with the price of cotton advancing by

cing at an unheard of stride—prices being subject to drastic
changes overnight even, —

J. R. Howard of Jackson, Miss.
Although a member of no
church, Mr. Webb lead a clean,
moral life. He believed in the di-
vinity of the Son of Mary, and was
ready to go when the end came.
He put up a good fight against
the disease that fastened itself
upon him. and up until a week
before his death believed he
would get well.
During the long period of illness
he never complained, but main-
tained a fortitude that is seldom
seen on such a bed of affliction.
The beautiful floral offerings and
the large concourse of people
who paid'him their last respects
bespoke the esteem in which he
was held.
Those from out of town who
attended the funeral were Mr.
and Mrs. C. L. Cunningham,
Clifford and Mr. and Mrs.
Grvan Webb of Iioxton, Sam
and Will Webb of Lexington,
Tenn , Mrs. L. F. Teague of
Dallas and Miss Ella Webb of
Jackson, Miss.

Supply your wants now, for we assure you that unless somethjng
very drastic comes into the market, which would prove nothing
short of a calamity,
YOU
Will before another year has gone pay 50% more for the same
class of merchandise, hence to defer buying now the merchandise
that you need or will need at anytime within the near future is
an economic waste.

Need have no fears that after you have supplied your wants prices
will decline, but within a short while you will feel that you have
bought a bargain in every line of your purchases.

that R. G. Hargus had sold out
and would move to Antlers, Ok.

Thompson's place, consisting of
the ungathered cotton of about
two bales, twenty-three acres of
oorn, four mules and farming
tools. The consideration was
$2*250. Mr. McComic will move
