Rorham Branch All Alone
The Denison, Bonham & New Or-
railroad, operated by the
*ty from Bonham junction, five
tiles east of Denison, to Bonham,
a distance of twenty-one miles, is
an orphan, or at least it seems
that 1.0 one cares to have anything
to do w.th t^s piece of railroad,
i The Katy1 ceased oiierating the
i Bonham Branch Monday, under the
old lease agreement, and a receiver
was appointed, who may make some
agreement with the Katy to operate
I a train over the line. At present’
the Katy operates a local freight
j train out of Denison each morning,
j The train leaves the Union Station
! at 3 a. m., returning to Donison
at 10:40 o'clock. A passenger train
is operated on Sunday leaving
Denison at 7 u. m., and returning
at 10:20 o’clock. It was not known
whether this service would be
continued or not. The Katy is also
turning loose the Cleburne branch
Beaumont and Trinity divisions and
the Shreveport division. Operation
of those branch lines has been
taken care of and it is believed
here that the Bonham division
will not be left without service.

THRIFT
The spirit of thrift cannot be inspired in our young-
sters too soon.
A child who is taught the value of pennie-s in his ex-
treme youth needs little coaching in the value of a
dollar in later life.
We welcome the SAVINGS ACCOUNTS of the
children for we plainly see in the children of today
the business men of tomorrow.
