At the Held meet at Paris two

I The girls will go to Green-

The Deport senior girls have
played nine games this season,
winning every one of them.
They were as follows: Bogata 3,
Detroit 2, Blossom 2, Deport
Faculty 1, and the Blue Bonnet
Society 1. The team is composed
of Misses Mable King, (captain)
and Eliza Webb, forwards; Helen
Lawler and Margaret Oliver,
centers; Elizabeth Marshall and
Anna Henry King, guards;
Eunice Kinsey and Stella Furger
son, substitutes.
Mrs. W. J. Holder and dau-
ghter, Miss Louise, of Sheveport,

visit with Mr. and Mrs Irby
Barnard.
Miss Doris Rush, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Rush of Bios

A Slumber Party
Miss Eliza Webb enter-
tained six of her girl friends
witli a slumber party last Friday 1
evening. After attending ser
vices at the Methodist Church,
they returned to her home,where
a midnight lunch was served,and
[the remainder of wakeful hours

Road Board Rejects Bids
The Lamar County Road
Board recently opened bids for!
the construction of hard surfac !
ed roads. It is said that only'
lour contractors in Texas were
able to supply sufficient bonds)
to bid on the work, and that'
small contractors have all the!
work they can do. Only two
bids were received, and these
were extremely high. ’ For in-
stance the contractors wanted
38 cents per yard for moving
dirt for the roadbed. This work
on the Bogata district roads is
being done for 20 cents. Scrap
ers being used carry about half
a yard at each trip. Lamar Coun-
ty cannot afford to pay any such
prices. At that price the money
on hand would hardly construct
roadbeds for the roads surveyed
east and west and southwest
thru the county. Tractor man-
ufacturers state they can move
the dirt with their machinery at
a cost of from 15 to 20 cents per
yarn, and the work may be done
this way with our own county
engineer supervising the job.

rested two negroes for disturb-

Sunday was a very disagree-

all day long and that night we
hid a freeze that killed the
peach crop—or at least the most
of it is lost. The orchard men
who have examined it sav that
practically all the peaches are
killed. Tins means a loss of at
least $150,000 to this immediate
