■ ‘The Rosalie section now wants
(rood roads. Any man who has
driven a car over roads in that
section in dry weather will not
say it does not need them. But
the community held off, refusing
to join the Bogata district, and
must now increase their rendi-
tions to secure the necessary
funds.

Local Talent at Auditorium
“The Dust of the Earth,” a
play in four acts, was presented
by local talent at the school audl
torium Tuesday evening for the
benefit of the Deport cemetery.
It was under the direction of
Mrs. Wm, Larrimore, and the
following took part: Joe Kelsey,
Eugene Larrimore, Joe Barham,
Carl Barnard and George Grant;
Misses Ted Grant, Beatrice Phil-
ley, Ruby Nobles and Mrs. Lar-
rimore. The verdint of the large
audience was that they did
exceedingly well. The sum of
$61 was taken at the door, which
will be used in a fund to bnild 9
pavHlion in our little city of the
dead.
wit Bur*
aid, E. L. Cochran was the vic-
tim of a peculiar accident recent-
ly. Passing a sleepy-eyed mule
in the lot, he jabbed it with the
handle of a seed fork to make it
“stand around.” The effect was
electric. The mule kicked the
handle of the fork, which jabbed
the prongs into Mr. Cochran’s
face, marring his beauty.
Convention Nominates Hutchison
The precinct convention held
at Milton Tussdsy for the pur-
pose of sslootlng a permanent
road commissioner, me* at 2
o’clock in the afternoon at the
Baptist Church at that place
with Rev. J. E. Peaden acting as
temporary chairman. Dr. J. H.
Moore was nominated and eleot
ed permanent chairman, and
Cbas. Martin secretary. The
chairman stated the object of the
meeting and declared nomina-
tions in order for commissioner.
J. W. Cunningham placed in
nomination the name otf J. R.
Hutchison, Jr., and J. H. Parker
of Clardy nominated 8. A. Cun-
ningham. The written ballot
was used and there were 885
votes polled—Hutchison receiv-
ing 810 to Cunningham's 76.
The only disturbaqoe of an en-
tirely harmonious procedure
came when Representative R. L.
McQowra brought up the ques-
tion of whether or not a man
who failed to vote in the bond is-
sue election was entitled to a vote
in the convention. The chair-
man held that he did not, and
his judgement was backed by a
ruling from the attorney gener-
al’s office, the road lavf itself, and
the sentiment of the convention
as manifested when the chair-
man declared Mr. McDowraout
of order, and stated that he not
only had ho vote, but no voice in
the convention. This was a lit-
tle hard on the representative as
he introduced the bill in the leg
islature two years ago.
With the exception of this
little ripple the convention was
harmoiMHts and good natured
throughout. The man nominat-
ed .is well known to practically
every man in the prdcinct as an
honest, upright competent offi-
cial who will give every portion
of the preeinet a square deal in
the distribution of roads.
Boys Return from France
Russell Kelsey received his
discharge at Camp Bowie ^iast
Thursday and returned home.
He went into the army last April,
spent five weeks at damp Travis
and went over from New York
with the 358th Infantry, 90th
Division as a bugler. The outfit
landed at Liverpool and paraded
thru the streets of London on
July 4. The organization then
crossed to La Havre. Kelsey
went into action on the Tuol sec
tor in the 8t. Mihiel offensive and
in the front line trenches
about thirty days. On Septem-
ber 12 he was wounded in the
hip by a high explosive shell and
sent to a hospital for a month,
and was then transferred to light
duty at Bordeaux, where he was
at work when the srmistice was
signed.
J. E. Parks, who went to
Camp Travis with the second

last year on June 29, being at-
tached to the 815 Trench Mortar
Battery, which was a part of the
90th Division. He 0landed in
New York on his return March
12, and received his discharge at
Camp Bowie. Mr. Parks drove
a motor truck part of the time
whiledn France, and carried sol-
diers to most of the American
fronts, Including Verdun, Ar-
gonne and St. Mihiel. After
the armistice was signed he was
with the army of occupation.

charge at Camp Bowie last
Thursday and arrived home Fri

stood .that be will m info the
drug business. . '^V , '
Hifh School Annual
A great deal of interest is bp-
iug 'taken in the High School
Annual, which will be issued
near .the dose of school. This U
the first attempt of the school to
put out such a publication, end
report has Jt that it will be a
ham-dinger. Pictures and draw-
iqgs are being made, and U will
contain about 150 pages. The
Times was offered the job of
printing it, but it Is such a large
job that it would interfere seri-
ously with the publication of our
paper. We thank the editors
joss the same and heartly com-
mend them for their enterprise.
If yon want a copy and have not
ordered, you had better do so at
once, as the number printed will
be limited to those ordered.
Shuler to Speak
The well known Methodist
minister and free lance writer,
Bob Shuler of Paris, will address
the citizens of Deport Thursday
evening in the interest of the
American Committee for Relief
in the Near East. These people
have been victims of Turkish
atrocities, with orders from the
Turkish government to extermi-
nate them. Thousands are dy-
ing every month from lack of
food and exposure. America is
asked for $80,000,000 to save the
situation. He will speak at the
Presbyterian Church.
At His Old Tricks
Bob Holt who is with the army
in France, has sent his sister,
Mrs. Mack Grant, a copy of the
8tars and Stripes, the official
paper of the A. E. F. The paper
also included two other things
placed there by the mischevious
Bob—two—full grown cooties.
At least it is inferred they were
placed in the paper by the sender.
They met a horrible death ip the
fire as soon as discoverd.
Private Holt is now in a hospital
recovering from an operation
for appendicitis. He expects to
be home soon.
Bogata citizens have bought
and paid for a series of five ly-
ceum attractions to appear in
that town next season. In other
words, admission is free to who
so ever will.
What is a Bank?
A bank is much more than nag rely a safe glace
for the keeping of funds, for handling cheeky
for collecting drafts, etc.
A bank should be regarded as the intimate
helper, advisor and friend of the customer,
ever ready to co-operate in every proper
way to extend proper accommodation as
required, and to protect his interests in
every way that lies within its power.
This is the kind of service that we endeavor
to render; and we invite you to make your con
nection with us with such service in view.

lough and accompanied Mr.
