The'Grants and their connec-
tion held their annual reuniqn
in the Scaff pasture near Ful-
bright Thursday of last week.
There were about 225 present
and all had a great time. A
beef was barbecued and from
the homes of these substantial
families were brought eatables
enought to satisfy the appetites
of many more than were present.
A long table was erected in the
shade of the trees, the dinner
spread and after Rev. J. A.
Moore of Clarksville, had asked
God’s blessings on the assembly
the feast began. Chas. Grant of
Clarksville and V. C. Oliver of
this city have always been con
sidered the greatest eaters in
the family, and they sustained
their reputations upon this occa
sion.
After dinner addresses were
made by Geo. W. Grant of Rug
by, Rev. J. A. Moore, Hon.
Bob Williams and A. D. Lennox,
all of Clarksville, in which was
reviewed the history of the
Grants from the time they set-
tled in Texas down to the pres-
ent. Mr. Lennox paid a beauti
ful and richly deserved tribute to
the women. Only,one thing was
recalled that saddened the hearts
of the party—the death of four
members who have passed away
since the last reunion. They
are Mrs. Dumas Grant, Dick
Grant, Bud Cherry and Capt. G.
I. Terrell.
The reunion next year will be
held at a date to decided upon
later, in the W. H. Thompson
pasture a mile north of Deport.

Engineers ai Work.
In response to a letter from
Secretary Janes of the Deport
Commercial Club asking the
Texas Power Co , about the pro
posed electric power line from
Paris to Deport, via Blossom
and Detroit, we quote from the
letter:
“We have our engineers mak-
ing up jj report on the cost of an
extension to your town and be-
cause we have been rushed with
construction work, this report
has been somewhat delayed. We
expect to have this in shape
shortly, and will then be in a po-
sition to advise you definitely
what action we can take at this
time.”
