THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR
==
STEPHENVILLE, ERATH COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1927.
NUMBER 28.
It’s an easy matter to name “don’ts”
and since we have heard a great num-
ber during the past week, we are go-
ing to pass some of them on.
f
V, ,,
How’s this one: “Don’t discourage
committees from the Chamber of
Commerce who are making an honest
endeavor to promote the interests of
the community. Remember they are
not getting any joy out of calling on
you for a donation on this and that
project--
“Don’t give them a sermon on why
you cannot make a donation, and keep
in mind they are not responsible for
the fact that business is dull with you
and that ypu have been imposed on by
collectors. This committee likely has
as many as 100 business and profes-
sional men to call on and they can’t
stop and listen- at every place they
visit-
“Don’t ever get the idea into your
head that the time of this committee
is invaluable. They are among the
few who believe in pushing a good
proposition and the work they undtr-
take is nine tinies out of ten of more
benefit to you than it is to them.
Usually this is true. In most cases the
men soliciting the funds are heading
the list with a larger amount than any
others in the city-
“Don’t tell them this town takes up
more collections than any other city in
the world, because it’s not so. Con-
sider' the case of Atlanta, Ga., when
business men and other citizens dug
up 11,000,000 to advertise their city,
soliciting nothing but goodwill and
good citizens. Of course, Stephenville
is not as large as Atlanta, but on the
other hand nobody here has ever asked
for a million dollars.
“Don’t think for a minute that Ste-
phenville is the only city in the coun-
try that has to have money for public
enterprise. The same Atlanta men-
tioned above raised $250,000 in one
week and gave it away that more In-
dustry might be attracted, and the re-
sult was that in a short time the pay
roll of the city was enhanced almost
$5,000,000. The principal is exactly
the same in Stephenville.
. y“Don’t be pennywise. What if we
have to give some industry a do-
nation. If we can get-it back in dol-
lars and cents and good citizenship we
are big winners. The old saying of
“spend money to make money” is just
as true in this instance as ever. Some
men make a lot of money, but would
be much- happier if they didn’t have it,
at least for the good it docs them.
And some poor fellows never make
any money for the simple reason they
let nickels hide dollars."
HEAVY RAIN HITS
COUNTY WITH BIG
DAMAGETOROAD
One of the heaviest rains in years
fell in the vicinity of Stephenville
Wednesday afternoon. Below the city
in the vicinity of Valley Grove it is
reported that everything was flooded
and that it was the heaviest seen there
in years. Wesley Hancock stated that
in all the years he lived in that part
of the county he had never seen as
much rain fall in such a short period
of time.
The government gauge in Stephen-
ville registered 1.25 but the rain did
not fall for race than forty minutes,
with the exception of the mist before
and after the heavy precipitation. The
gauge at Valley Grove would have
perhaps registered as much as three
inches.
Several bridges on the Hico and Ste-
phenville highway were washed out
and heuvy damage was done 16 farm
land. Many great ditches were wash-
ed in fields wrerc cotton is now grow-
ing, although there was no heavy
damage to cotton. The large culvert
at the Hollingsworth farm was washed
out and two others below this, place
were destroyed. Travel over this road
will have to detour until these bridges
are repaired. The large bridge at Pole
Hollow, built last spring, held up well
and will not need any repair.
The section in and around Stephen-
ville has had rains with consistent
■frequency during the past few weeks
and the result is that prospects for
one of the biggest corn crops ever pro-
duced are now bright.. All other feed
crops will also make heavy yields. All
that remains for almost a perfect crop
in this section is for the peanuts and
cotton to fully materialize and the
prospects for both are now good.
W. D. EWERS DIED HERE FROM
COMPLICATION OP DISEASES
Now wasn’t it easy to name those
tfont’s? We could very likely name
many others. You doubtless think of
several now that we should have had.
There’s not much reason for naming
these ills and why you ask may ask?
Well, we get all this, morning, noon,
and night. Almost every hour in the
day, we get some advice on what to
tell the folks NOT to do, WHAT to
do, apd WHY. Many suggestions are
of at constructive nature and would
help but some of them would mean n
jail sentence, a sorrowed widow and
what not.
W. D. Ewers, a pioneer citizen of
Erath county who has lived in the
Duffau country for the past forty-
eight ytars, died at the Stephenville
Hospital Monday. His remains were
carried back to the family homestead
and funeral services conducted at the
Duffau Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon by Elder Ben West of tht
Graham Ctreet Church of Christ. He
is survived by four sons and one
daughter, all being present tor the
tun.ral.
Mr. Ewers had been in failing
health for the past eseveral months
and at the time he entered the hos-
pital it was felt that he would never
fully recover. Heart trouble and kid-
ney ailment caused him much pain and
suffering (luring the time of his sick-
ness.
The fwnily is well known all over
the soutn end of the county, having
lived in one house and on the same
farm for a period of 48 years. He had
the reputation of being an exception-
ally good neighbor and although his
allotted time had almost' passed, his
death brought much sadness into the
hearts of his many friends. Beside^
his children he is survived by a num-
ber of other relatives.
And so if you ask me, we say frank-
ly there is a way to rid some of the
above. With a municipal tax to sup-
port the Chamber of Commerce every-
body gets to help with the work at
hand. All will share equally in the
burden of-taking care of the heeds be-
fore us and relief will come to the
sixty or seventy business and profes-
sional men who. arc now meeting the
emergencies as they arise. Of course,
we knew it, this brought up that tax
business again and before the paper is
out of the mails we’ll be due for an-
. other lecture. But you ask, and sug-
gest and urge that we say these very
things. There they are. Now some-
thing else.
R. E. COX ELECTED ALDERMAN

nate but late in the afternoon sup-
porters of Mr. Cox came to the polls

SACRED CONCERT AT RACE
STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH
SUNDAY EVENING, JUNE 26
CLEAN-UP PROCLAMATION
Beginning on July 2nd and ending on July 9th, is hereby designated
and set apart as Clean-Up DayH for the City of Stephenville, and all
citizens and business institutions of this city are urged to thoroughly
clean up their premises, freeing same from all trash, weeds, tin cans
and all rubbish of every kind. This is not only essential to the best
appearance of our city, but very essential to its general health. All
people are requested to enter heartily into this clean-up campaign,
and help us to make the City of Stephenville the cleanest city in Texas,
and cleaner than it has ever been before in its history.
As an inducement'to the people to clean up the following prizes
are to be offered for the largest pile of trash: $7.50 for the first prize,
$5.00 for the second prize, and $4.25 for the third prize. In accumu-
lating these piles it is the rule that nothing from outside the city
limits id allowed, and any one so doing, their pile or piles will not be
considered by the judges.
All tin cans, buckets, and other rubbish that will not burn must be
placed in one pile and >vill be hauled off by the City, and all weeds,
boxes, and other rubbish that will burn must be piled in a separate
pile and burned on the premises. Cans must be in sacks or pasteboard
boxes. All persons wishing to contest for the prizes must give their
names to Mrs. Ben Young.
Judged will be appointed to judge these piles and same will be
judged on July 11th, beginning at 9:00 a. m., and announcement will be
made of the winners and prizes given on that date.
I urge you to get busy and help make Stephenville clean. Don’t
go dirty because your neighbor does. Make him ashamed of himself
by uncomplainingly setting him a clean example.
F. II. CHANDLER,
ANDLER, Mayor. ^

partment in this district.

WRECKED GAS PLANT WILL
BE REBUILT NEAR GORDON
The gasoline plant of the Lone Star
Gas Company, located a short distance
from Gordon and just over the county
line in Palo Pinto county, will be re-
built immediately according to a
statement from R. A. Crawford, man-
ager of the company. The (ilant was
destroyed by fire of undetermined
origin Saturday night at 11:00 o’clock
with an estimated loss of $100,000.
Line crews were pressed into immedi-
ate service after the fire and it is ex-
pected that soon the entire plant will
be rebuilt and in full operation.
Many Stephenville people saw the
glare of the light from the fire and
thought at first that Gordon was burn-
ing up. The report on the fire was
received here early Sunday morning.

DESTRUCTIVE
HAIL FALLS IN
DUBLIN AREA
Covering a strip of country some
three or four miles wide and eight or
ten miles long, hail practically left
ruined corn, cotton and other crops in
its wake Monday night. Cotton was
stripped of all foliage and corn gives
the appearance of lean cane stalks.
Those who have seen the country
where the hail fell claim that it was
even heavier than the hail storm which
hit the Cobinth and Oak Dale com-
munities some three weeks ago.
The unfortunate part of the hail
coming at this time is that it is almost
too late to replant cotton, although
some of the farmers who have lost
their crop state they will start re-
planting immediately.
The cotton in the territory visited
by the hail was fine, some crops being
far advanced and almost knee high.
Starting at Dublin, the storm moved
as ’far West as the Tackett school
house and then southward to Purves
and Oarltton. .
COLQUITT SUES DAVIDSON
ANI) ADHERENTS FOR $350,000
C.R. WOODY WILL
NOT ACCEPT POST
C. C. SECRETARY
C. R. Woody, who had tentatively
agreed to accept the position of secre-
tary of the Stephenville Chamber of
Commerce, announced Thursday morn-
ing that another offer recently receiv-
ed was of such a nature that he could *
not accept the position. This an-
nouncement carried the provision from
Mr. Woody that he would remain here
in the event the directors of the local
organization would not relieve him of
•the duties he had promised to fill.
While the time is short, yet the
opinion is that another man will be
found who can qualify under the pro-
vision of the State Department of Ag-
riculture. It is remembered that this
department is sharing the expense of
the secretary, and in turn will receive
certain services in extension work pro-
moted by them. Mr. Woody, principal
of the high school last year, was ideal-
ly fitted for the work and the fact
that he is not going to be here will be
regretted by all.
Mr. Woody plans to locate in the
State of Missouri, where he will have
charge of a large ranch, stocked with
fine cattle, hogs and other livestock.
The position is one sought by men of
his type and since he has been so in-
tensely interested in livestock and
poultry, quite naturally he is greatly
encouraged over the new situation. He
plans to leave Stephenville within the
next few days.

J. O. BLAKENEY SETS NEW
MARK ON CLUB LAKE COURSE
John O’Connor Blakeney, whose des-
cendants kissed the Blarney Stone be-
fore taking a final look on the shores
of Old Ireland, is upholding all the
precedents established in years gone
by by these Master Mdn. His latest
claim to glory is a score of 35 on the
Stephenville Country Club golf course.
This feat was accomplished in the
presence of witnesses, all men of un-
questioned honesty, sobriety and ve-
racity.
When it is considered the Stephen-
ville course is one of the most hazard-
ous in these parts and is a 36 par, then
the score of Mr. Blakeney can be more
readily appreciated. All sons of Ire-
land have been duly puffed up since
the above record was established and
it n»w behooves the honest Scotch, or
the bloody English to show some of
their long claimed superiority.
The score was made when a four-
some was engaged. Others in the
match were Chas. Neblett, Roscoe Cox,
and W. H. Frey. Following is the
score of Mr. Blakeney: 3-4-5-4-5-2-5-
3-4—36.
Miss Hazel Keith is spending the
week in Aledo.
Carl V. Tate, with the Chrysler Au-
tomobile Company in Shawnee, Okla.,
spent last week here with his wife and
son, and his mother, Mrs. L. F. Tate.

Marvin Wood, 20 years of age, died
here Saturday morning of last week
following an operation for appendi-
citis. His case was pronounced seri-
ous when attending physicians first
examined him. Soon after he had
undergone the operation peritonitis
set up and he was unable to overcome
the shock. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. John C. Wood of Stephenville.
Funeral services were held at the
Graham Street Church of Christ Sun-
day afternoon at 4:00 o’clock, Rev.
Coleman D. Nichols being in charge.
Interment followed in West End cem-
etery.
Young Mr. Wood had been a hardy
and robust man and his death was a
distinct shock to his family and
frifends. Recently he had been work-
ing on the new building being erected
by Stafford & Marr and appeared the
picture of good health. It was an-
nounced at the hospital that his entire
system was poisoned before the oper-
ation, caused from gangrene, and this
made his chances for recovery slight.

A
J UNETEENTH CELEBRATED
BY LOCAL SONS OF HAM
WITH BARBECUE PICNIC
Local celebrities of colored'brethrcn
arranged and carried out what was
considered one of the most elaborate
emancipation programs held here in
years. Visitors from all cities in this
section where negroes live were pres-
ent and many of them took part in the
program.
The first part of the program was a
street parade in which around twenty
decorated automobiles passed. Deco-
rations of almost every conceivable
nature were presented. The parade
passed around the square and to the
City Park where a big barbecue dinner
was served.
In the afternoon the married men
played the single men a game of base-
ball. The married men were big win-
ners.
GRANDI BROS. WILL OPEN
HERE MONDAY WITH FULL
REPERTOIRE GOOD PLAYS
On Monday night, June 27, Grandi
Brothers, well and favorably known
theatrical producers,- will open a
week's engagement here under their
own big tent theatre, presenting Bob
and Carl’s Comedians in high class
repertoire.
Grandi Brothers have been here be-
fore, hence they are not coming
among strangers. And it may be said
to their credit, that they made many
friends on their former visit who will
be glad to extend a cordial welcome
next week.
_ Entertainments will be given each
night, beginning at 8 o’clock, with a
big matinee on Saturday afternoon.
Grandi Bros, company is composed
of 36 people, every one of them an
artist in his or her line—and some
5f them have several lines. There are
twelve vaudeville artists, a big feature
band, and the Little Symphony Orch-
estra of ten pieces that might possibly
be equalled but not excelled on the
road.
The big tent will be erected on the
trading block. The opening bill will
bd “The Charity Child,” a stirring,
human interest comedy-drama in four
acts, with high class vaudeville be-
tween the acts. On the first night,
Monday, ladies will be admitted free
if accompanied by one adult paid ad-
mission.
Watch for their ad in this paper and
heralds on the street.

OFFICE IN BIG SPRING
Dr. C. D. Baxley, formerly of Post,
Texas, has moved to Big Spring, and
this week opened an office for the
practice of dentistry in this city. Dr.
Baxley comes to us highly recom-
mended as an able dentist and was
held high in the profession by his as-
sociates wherever he has practiced.
Prior to moving to Big Spring Dr.
Raxley had a dental office at Post,
Texas, where he had made his home
for a number of years and before mov-
ing to Post he had practiced his ufo-
fession in Stephenville, Texas, most
successfully. *
Dr. Baxley opened his office this
week and it is a modemly equipped
one. Special equipment for X-ray,
dental diagnosis, surgery of the mouth
and removal of infection has been in-
stalled and is ready for use.
We welcome Dr. Baxley aa a citizen
of Big Spring and trust that he will
enjoy living among our people. He is
anxious to become acquainted with all
of our folks, and extends a cordial in-
vitation to all to call and pay a friepcL
iy visit
