THE OLD RELIABLE
THANKSGIVING
-By Violet Alleyn Storey
S we have gathered in rich harvest from Thy field*.
As we have taken lovely fruits from bending trees.
So gather Thou, O God, Thanksgiving from our hearts.
So take Thou gratitude from those on bended knees.
We sowed Thy ground with humble seeds, but Thou hast sown
Our minds with wisdom and our hearts with faith and lo\e;
And if, from such a source, our harvest was so fair,
Oh, how much fairer should Thy harvest be above!
We've seen our tiny seeds, yield flower and fruit and grain -
A myriad of blossoms in each garden bed;
Frail petals formed into the apple, pear, and plum;
And sun-tilled wheat from which we’ll bake our winter's bread.
So mayst Thou see Thy seeds have borne Thee beauty, too
Delightful songs and poems, pictures like glad flowers;
And kindly thoughts become great deeds, like ripened fruit;
And thankfulness to give Thee cheer in quiet hours.
As we have gathered in rich harvest from Thy fields,
As we have taken lovely fruits from bending trees,
So gather Thou, O God, Thanksgiving from our hearts;
So take Thou gratitude from those on trended knees!

DEPOBT HIGH DEFEATS
. PARIS'SECOND TEAM
Depcrt High defeated the
Paris second team on .local
grounds Thursday afternoon of
last week by a score of 18 to t>.
The Deport boys had the visitors
clearly outclassed, and some of
the first string men were sent
in during the last two quarters
to stop the locals Paris’ only
score came with only a minute
to play; intercepting a forward
pass from Deport, which should
have been kicked instead, the
Paris man ran fifteen yards and
was pulled down within a few
feet of the line. Deport held
them for three downs, but the
ball was finally pushed across.
Cold Weather Here
Real winter weather set in
Wednesday morning. Sleet fell
for a while, but it later turned
to a cold rain, which continued
throughout moEt of the day. A
heavy snow fell in the Panhandle,
and with the wind blowing from
the northwest, it caused many
to sharpen up their butcher
knives and prepare to kill hogs.
Pi MT.P. MAT CHANGE
MIXED TRAIN TO FDEIGHT
The P. & Mt. P. Railroad is
confronted with a big problem
regarding the operation of one of
its trains as a mixed train, ac
cording to receiver R. VV. Wor-
tham, who was in conversation
with The Times editor Monday
A passenger coach is attached to
this freight train for the benefit
of passengers, but, a good high-
way, many automobiles and
automobile stage lines have re-
duced passenger traffic on the
mixed train to such an extent
that the train is being operated
as a mixed train at a great loss.
PLANS FOR NEW CHURCH
ADOPTED EAST SUNDAY
Revised plans for the erection
of a new Presbyterian Church
at Deport were adopted by the
membership last Sunday morn-
ing at 11 o’clock. These plans
include the use of lumber in the
present building, and an expendi
ture or about $J2,(X)0. A cam-
paign to raise this amount in
cash and pledges is succeeding
admirably, and ‘lie contract is to
be let just as soon as the money
and pledges can be secured.
The building will be of the
modern type with practically
every convenience for the church
Talk It Over With Him
Since the boy of today is the man of to-
morrow, you owe it to him as well as to
yourself to talk over the problems of
life with him and give him the benefit
of your experience.
One of the most vital lessons i that
taught by the Bank Book. A marked
step in your boy’s life is recorded when
you show him the value of a having
Account.
We invite you to come here and have
your talk where surroundings wii' give
added weight to what you say.

NOTICE
You are requested to come in and
Pay, your account, for it is past
due. I intend to make some
changes, so a quick settlement is *
the thing at this moment.
Yours truly,
J- W. SPEARS
not amount to much, but when
the train is delayed and docs not
read)a te-minal within the hours
prescribed by law for a train
crew, if there be a passenger, it
is necessary for the company to
send out another crew to bring
the train in. when if there were
no passengers, the train could
tie up for the prescribed time
and then come on in.
If this train is changed from
a mixed train to a freight, it
will still handle mail ana express,
according to Mr. Wortham, but
will not carry passengers. He
is not complaining because peo-
ple use automobiles instead of
the train, recognizing it as a
condition of change and progress,
but it will probably result in the
making of the mixed train a
freight. _
Shop Early
will be so erected that there will
lie nineteen Sunday school
rooms. It is known that efficient
Sunday Sctiool work cannot be
done unless classes are segregat
ed so that they will have the
undivided attention of the teach-
ers, and (dans for the new build-
ing provide for this feature.
Curtis & Light foot of Paris are
the architects.
Do you realize there are only
twenty-one shopping days until
Christmas. Better do it early.
Stocks are not going to be suffi-
cient to supply the demand in
some lines this year, because the
wholesalers do not have merch-
andise on hand to meet the needs
of retailers, which is another
good reason to make your pur-
chases now while clerks have
time to wait upon you, and you
are afforded a greater variety
from which to select.
