The farmers are somewhat be-
hind with their crops on account
of so much rain. Some haven’t
yet planted any cotton, and some
are not through planting corn.
This is most enough to give them
the “blues.”
Elder McGlasson. of Dodd City,
preaches at the Christian church
the first Sunday in each mouth;
Rev. Gentry, of Ivanhoe, at the
Baptist church on the second
Sunday, and Rev. Flanagan, of
Lamasco,at the Methodist church,
on the third and fourth Sunday.
This gives us preaching every
Sunday. /
On Saturday night, April 29,
the W. O, W. lodge here will give
a supper at the hall. There are
some home candidates and some

All sovereigns 'invited. Also at

they are getting rather numer-
ous up there.
Dr. Cooper and family are vis-
iting relatives near Windom at
present.
Quite a crowd of our people
went down to the river Thursday
to see the steamer “Annie P”
pass. As steamboats are things
a little unusual to some of our
people, this attracted some little
attention. We predict now that
it won’t oe long before quite an
extensive trade will be carried on
between Denison and Shreveport,
La., via Red River. This will
also give us river people a means
of transportation, so if we can’t
get the railroad or interurban,
why, of course, we’ll use the
steamer. We are very grateful
for the efforts our congressman,
the Hon. C. B. RandeU, has put
forth in securing an appropria-
tion for the navigation of Red
river. We feel that *it will be a
success and, sure, we should all
say “Hurrah for Randell.”
The school at Mud Branch
closed Friday. Miss Pearle Bry-
an, the teacher, returned home to
Windom Saturday.
Misses Frankie Mayfield is vis-
iting relatives at San Marcus at
present.
H. P. McGrady and wife at-
tended San Jacinto Day at Rid-
ings Friday. These were the
closing exercises of Mrs. Grace
Ridings school.
On Friday night, May 12th,
there will be an entertjjnment at
Johnson’s school house. These
will be the closing exercises of
the school at that place.

TRENTON.
I heard Tuesday morning for
the first time this year, the voice
of the turtle dove, so I shall, as
is my custom, crawl out of mv
hole and revel amid the beauties
of spring. I shall accept the in-
vitations of friends to visit them;
shall visit those in Bonham at
my earliest convenience. Blue-
eyed girl, please take notice.
M. E. Miller and Miss Nettie
Cooper, of Orangeville, and O.
O. Akin and Miss Sarah Wilson,
of Corinth community, were mar-
| ried at the residence of the Bish-
op of Trenton and by him last
Sunday. May the rolling years
brighten the golden chain of af-
fection by which they are now
bound.
In a late work on etiquette, the
writer says: “The knife is held
in the hand as little as possible,
being used only when necessary
to cut food. The tines of the fork
are used for cutting the majority
of vegetables and always for con-
veying them to the mouth.” This
is not according to the rule laid
down by Noah Webster, who
taught millions to read, but not
one to sin or act a fool. In his
blue-back spelling book, he says:
“We cut our food with a knife,
not with a fork,” and says noth-
ing as to how it should be con-
veyed to the mouth. This he left
to the eater, supposing he had
intelligence enough to choose the
most convenient method. The
idea, would never enter the mind
of a person, unless he is a writer
on etiquette, that a fork was made
to cut with. Again, the writer
says: “Soft cheese is eaten with
the fork; hard cheese may be
eaten with the fingers, a small
piece being broken off at a time.”
If we can eat hard cheese with
our fingers, we can eat soft cheese
in the same way, and the use
of forks may be dispensed with.
The constant changes that are
being made in our manner of
living reminds me of the origin
of fashions as given by a fond fa-
ther to his little son. “Papa,”
said the little boy, “where do we
get the fashions?” “From New
York, my son,” “And where docs
New York get them?” “From
London.” “And where does Lon-
don get them?” “From Paris.”
“And where does Paris get them?”
“Why, from the devil; now say
your prayers and go to bed.”
The brick house of Dr. Thomp-
son will be completed in a short
time. This is the third business
house of the kind he has built in
the town.
Work on Marshall’s big brick
store house is progressing rapidly.
The District Conference of the
Methodist church will meet here
Thursday; hence the sidewalk
leading from Pearl street to the
Methodist church has been re-
paired. j
W. H. Sanders left Sunday for
Mineral Wells to attend the K.
of P. grand lodge. His wife will
at the time visit her parents at
Brownwood. She is the daugh-
ter of' Rev. Thomas Savage, of
that city, and while teaching
music in the Leonard High
school, she met Mr. Sanders and
pursuaded him to embark wi*h
her on the matrimonial sea. He
never did a wiser thing.
