Isaac and! Rebecca
Abraham being old sent his servant
down to Haran where Abraham once
lived and where his father died to
get a wife for his son Isaac from
among his kin folk and he found Re-
beccah, a good girl, and brought her
back for Isaac and she became his
wife.
It is a beautiful love story how

Rebeccah became the wife' of Isaac
and how they were imarriedi, never for influence, I again wish to express
having seep each other until the day
of their marriage.
This reminds u® that Adam, the
first man, never saw his wife, Eve,
until the day they were married. But
both these men, Adam and Isaac,
were married according to God’s di-
vine arrangement and it is probable
that we can all be married in the way
God wants us to marry and if we
would do this there would be no di-
vorces. But the; trouble with us to-
day is that we do not ask God for
his adviJfe in marrying nor do we
seek to marry the one that God has
for us but we1 go in blind and imarry
to please some sinful passion or fool-
ish notion and the result is we live an
awful miserable life of matrimony
and no wonder we seek divorces to
get out of oiif troubles.
Abraham bought a cave where he
buried his wife Slarah and he was al-
so buried in this cave of Macpelah
and his son Isaac and wife were also
buried in this cave as well as Isaac’s
son and wife. ,
Efeaui andi Jacob
Isaac and! Rebeccah had two sons,
twins, Easau and Jacob. In those
days one son, generally the oldest,
got the birth right which entitled
him to be the head of the house and
inherit the name at the father’s
death.
Although they were twins, Easau
great hunter and fighter and after
over 20 years forgave his brothe, Ja-
cob, as they met on the road.
It seems that it was divinely ar-
ranged that Jacob, who was the su-
perior in intellect, should have the
birthright and be the head of the
family that were to be a great na-
tion.
Jacob fell in love with his Cousin,
Rachel, and worked seven years for
her for her father. On the wedding
day according to the custom theft
the bride wore a long dress and a
veil over her face. She had a sister
older than she named Leah and the
father dressed Leah up for the bride
and deceived Jacob and; he married
the older sister and not the one he
wanted. The next day the girls’ fa-
thtr told Jocob that if he would!
work seven years more he could still
have Rachel and he worked seven
more years, fourteen in all, and got
both the girls, the first man in this
line to have miore than one wife.
Jacob worked on for over 20 years
for cattle and finally left with hi's
wives and a bunch of children. He
also had two other wives, making
four in all, and1 twelve sons and one
daughter. Jacob was partial to one

ther andi as his father was old! and
blind he could go to his father and
play that he was his brother, Easau,
and get the birthright blessing. One
day as Easatf was tired and hungry
ho sold his birthright to his brother
Jacob for a good dinner that Jacob
bad prepared! and1 so while Easau
was away one day hunting Jacob
went in and deceived hi© father, mak-
ing out he was Easau and got the
birthright blessing. When Easau
came in and! found what Jacob had
done he was angry and. being a vici-
ous boy decided to kill his brother
but the another heard his threats and
secretly sent her son, Jacob, away to
her folks down at Haran where he
went and lived for over 20 years and!
never saw his father and mother any
more.

Jacob’s wife Rachel that he loved
was the mother of Joseph and she
died. His wife Leah also died and he
buried her in the cave with Abra-
ham and Isaac and where Jacob was
also buried when he died.
Abraham lived to be 175 years old.
His son Isaac was 180 fears old,
while Jacob lived to be only 139 years
old. It seems that this was about
the average age of men at this age
of the world.

To' My Friends li|n the Democratic
Party
Now that the excitement attending
the primary electiltns has abated, I
ask your attention.
Is the first place, I give my heart-
felt thanks tfo each and all the voters
«yho honored me with, their ballot.
The 11,633 votes cast for me for
Congress was a spontaneous expres-
sion of confidence and esteem—with-
out any organization or financial aid
or influence, no alliances or swapping
of vfttes, and no selfish interest:, fi-
nancial orr political. < |M!y apprecia-
tion is beyondl expression.
Again, your duties are. merely bar-
gun; the party platforms are to be
written, the organization perfected!,
the Democratic policies amply sup-
ported. |
Wte must win at the fall election.
Avoid fretful differences, throw aside
immaterial issues and make unani-
mous effort for real Democratic suc-
cess. Give all our public officers
that friendly, cordial support to
whieir they are entitled; and do not
unjustly criticize nor blindly follow
them. Do YOUR duty tt your state
and nation; be watlhlhl and helpful.
Study what our departments of gov-
ernment)—sity, county, state and na-
tional—ran dlo for the relief of the
people and for the checking and! su-
pressiltn of hurtful Special Privilege.
Devote your energies to the work of
reform that will relieve our present
distress and save to us our natural
resources.
'Sincerely, !

I was greatly surprised when Miss
Eldridge told! me that I had wen a
adp to A. & M. I began to make
plans to leave.
On Sundlay, July 28th at 12:05, we
left Bonham. There were 65 boys,
girls and women from Fannin County.
We arrived at A. M. about 10:30
p. m. Sunday night,
The Fannin group went with Miss
Eldridge and Mr. Carswell for a
place to stay1. Miss Eldridge gave
the girls three rooms. 1J went to
®Piiryear Hall, where I found! a very
comfortable bed, There were four in
the room tjrat I was in.
Each robin had five beiis, a dresser,
a table or two and one or two chairs.
There were: four rooms in each ramp.
There were nine r a mips in Pur year
Hall. Each ramp was three stories
high, There was a chaperon for each
ramp. Miss Ruth Barnett was the
chaperon for our ramp, She was
very kind to the girls.
Monday morning we got in line and
inarched to breakfast. On our way
all that did not get their meal ticket
before stopped1 and 'got them. They
cost $5.00, this gave us three meals
xhtil Saturday morning. After break-
fast we went to Guion Hall, where a
president and secretary were elected,.
We then sang several songs and then
the meeting adjourned;. At our rooms
we then were given a company letter.
Fannin County was ah Comipany B.
We then went to the Physic building
where a Captain and) a Lieutenant
were appointed to lead our Company.
We had* four lectures ea h day
where we heard useful things. The
lectures I enjoyed most were the lec-
tures on “Table Ettiquettesi” by Miss
Permybackedi, “Attractive ‘School
lunches” by Miss Bengeir, “Selections
f Table Appointments’’ by Miss Da-
■ is and “Let’s Have a Party” by Miss
fora Stafford!.
I greatly" enjoyed the tour through
he kitchen in Mass Hall, and through
the Veternarian building. In the kit-
chen we saw the dishwasher that
washed 18,000 pieces of dishes a min-
ute. W!e also saw the refrigerator,
the potato peeler and! the stoves. In
he Veternarian building we saw the
“brains of a human, the skeletons of
babies and grown people.” I We saw
a mummy that wa® between two and
three thousand years old. We saw
deformed calves, turkeys, chickens
and worms of all kind.
We Went to a picture show each
;right, except Thursday night and then
we went to a Pageant given by boy3
ind! girls of different counties. The
’ageant was enjoyed by all.
Fridlay night the Fannin County
crowd left for the train r.t 10 .o.d.
There we stayed until 1:05 a. m. then
re left for Bonham. We arrived in
Bonham! Saturday at 12i:30 p. m. W!e
departed for our homes. Some were
happy to be back home while others
wished it had lasted for another week,

In 1926 the fire loss in this! coun-
try was estimated at $560,000,000
and1 was the larfgest ever) known
here. Last year lit was estimated at
$475,000,000 and the first six months
cf this year it is miore than last year
which shows that we are too care-
less about fires and too dffdii erent
about this great loss of property.

The report comes that the State
School apportionment will be $17.50
again this year. Last year at was
hits high and this as the highest it
has ever been and this is under the

George Hopkins; of Texarkana was
here twlO’ days this week visiting his
sister, Mrs. W. H. Vaughn and talk-
ing over hbe. legal steps to take to
recover the big million dbllar fortune
awaiting them in Californa. ii
MY Hopkins is a lineal desicendent
of Mark Hopkins whe was a part-
ner with Collis P. Huntington, the
railroad! millionaire! of Southern Pac-
ific Railway fame and who died
some yearigi ago a millionaire.
Mark Hopkins, \ fijhe mtlliffnaire,
was a bachelor and never married
and died in California without mak-
ing any will and his big fortune des-
cended to his nearest of kin. '
A laifge number of persons claim-
ing to be deseendents of Mark Hop-
kins have filed claims to the big es-
tate and have been turned down iff
droves. One claimant succeeded in
getting the California courts to recog-
nize his claim) but suits were brou-
ght to set aside his claims and it
was done but his case is still in the
courts.
George Hopkins and this sister,
Mrs. Vaughn of our town tried to
get lawyers in Bonham to take their
case but it being so far away to Cal-
ifornia our lawyers woujd not han-
dle the case and they finally got
lawyers in Kansas) City who are
pushing the case for them.
George Hopkins and onie of his
lawyers ©pent a lot of time iff Ken-
tucky getting evidlence of their heir-
ship where the Hopkins’s originally
lived.
Large sums of money have been
spent by parities, and! lawyers and
much time taken up trying to get a
whack at the big estate but these
cases have failed so far.
It seem® that Collis F. Huntington
and! Mlark Hopkins went to California
m the gold rush and went into busi-
ness out there and each made a big
fortune. Huntington went into the
railroad! business and made bis home
in New York while his partner, Mark
Hlopkins, stayed1 in California and
also; nlade his fortune. He left no
wife or children and big, estate fell
to his brothers and sisters. George
Hopkins and Mrs. Vaughn are the
great nephew and neice of the mil-
lionaire, Mark Hopkins, and are the
Ifoeal dleseendents and! heirs to the
ijg estate,
All that keeps tjhem from being
millionaires now is the slow court
process and red tape required to gain
possession of the money.

TRAINED THIEVES
A big r eligious meeting in national
session the other day gave a soft
pedal on birth control and virtually
endorsed! it and then turned around!
and sat dlown strong on bootleggers.
Strange that people can’t see that
one wrong is about as bad as an-
other. In our study of the moral
code we never could see the reason
for passing softly over one bad prime
m being severe on another. Such
action stultifies our good nature.
George Hopkins who visited here
this week fromi Texarkana says that
times are very hard in Texarkana
and many people are on sufferance
and begging for tiread. He says that
a lot of stealing is (going on there and
that in some cases the starving peo-
ple go and! take what they need with-
out asking for it. He says things are
looking bad! there and crops are a
failure.
Most of the thieves and high-jack-
ers and otyier classes of criminals
get their training in the hemes from
the father, mother or others in the
home that have the training of the
young children and in a few cases'
the training comes from the school
teachers.
Just recently we heard of a father
and mother that were violators of
tt^he law, regular law breakers be-
fore their children and we wonder
why such parents can’t see that they
are giving their children their first
lessons as criminals and law break-
ers. When we break one law with
impunity andi keep it a secret as far
as we can we at once become law
breakers and are no linger law1 abid-
ing citizens.

of that state has ruled that even

of obtaining said voter’s good will
constitutes a violation of lawri.
