ing on sales and during
such sales to Rive away to pur
contemplating
putting
ehaser" tickets entitling them
to chances to receive a prize or
prizes at the conclusion of the

dred dollars in value, he shall

lars or less, he shall be fined
not less than five dollars nor
more than two hundred dollars.
If any person shall offer for
j sale or keep for sale, any chan-
ce, ticket or part ticket, in any

ty dollars."

No man never had greater

I that I could choose words to ex

i many deserve special thanks

but let us remember that every
day is "Labor Day" the
kingdom ol the Jxm'U, and while
the secular schools are laboring
to prepare our young people
for a broader lite, the cnurch
around the corner stands ready
to fit them for a broader nobl-

Conference just closed a most
profitable session at this chur-
ch in which we had a most
profitable meeting and our own
league gained a broader vision
and a greater determination to
carry on and the leagues over

one of the most inspirational
and helpful sessions ever held.

TYLER BUSINESS
MEN COMING
Word has been received that
the Tyler Chamber of Commer
ce Annual Good Will Tour will
arrive in Winnsboro on Sept.
10th, 1924 at 12:40 and depart
at 2:00 P. M. The Tyler party
will consist of perhaps one hun
dred automobiles and perhaps
between three and four hun-
dred business and professional
men going into more than for-
ty cities and towns of East
Texas to spread the spirit of
Good Will and optomism and to
come further imbued by the ci-
tizens of Winnsboro and Wood
county.
'I he Tyleritcs are going to
take advantage of the occasion
to extend a personal invitation
lo those they meet to come to
the East Texas Fair to be
held at Tyley September 23rd,
to 27th, inclusive, and to bring
their neighbors.
The famous Tyler municipal
Band and a number off well
known entertainers will pro-
vide a spelndid concert while
in Winnsboro, and the other
time will be spent in lunching
and visiting the local people,
and it is hoped that a large nu
mber will be on hand to ex-
tend a friendly greeting to our
fellow East Texans.
Advanced information indica-
tes that the men of Tyler are
going into all parts of East
Texas to advertise the East
Texas Fair with enthusiasm
and a conviction that the pre-
sent show* will be the greatest
in the many years of its ex-
istance.

State aid blanks have l>eeri
received and schools are given
until October 15th to fill out
and return for aid. I will send
them /out to "trustees the first
week in September.
Many text books are to be
changed this year but I think
it best not to attempt the
change until the schools open
and are in session to make the
change for several reasons.
First, we have no place to put
the school books. Second, \\e
can then tell how many books
the school needs and not gel a
surplus which is costly.
