Born in Pennsylvania. Robert Fulton
was apprenticed to a leweler but
took up portrait painting as a pro
iession. He went to England to study
painting. There he met lames Watt,
the inventor oi the steam engino,
who influenced
him to become^
an Inventor.

In Paris he built a sub-
marine. the "Nautilus."
and offered it to Napo-
leon. who refused it. He
then built the first steam-
boat. the "Clormont."
People scoffed at it and
called it "Fulton's Folly"
—but it was a success
and made trips from
New York to Albany.
Fulton also invented de-
vices for making' rope,
for cutting and polish)
ing marble and for Im-
proving canals.

In testimony of their esteem, more
than 200 employees of Texas Power
and Light Company tendered a testi-
monial banquet to their president,
John W. Carpenter, last Friday night
in Dallas, marking his 20th anniver-
sary as general manager of the com-
pany.
Mr. Carpenter was lauded as a com-
rade, leader, champion of industrial
expansion in Texas, humanitarian, and
far-sighted executive in a program
which found Nathan Adams, of Dal-
las, speaking for the directors: Hon.
Pat M. Neff, as a citizen of Texas;
L. T. Blaisdcll, of Dallas, for the elec-
trical industry; J. H. Calhoun of Tyler,
for the district managers, and W. H.
Thomson, of Dallas, for the employees.
Presentation of the company’s 20-year
service emblem was by Frank M.
Rybum of Dallas. T. H. Williams, of
Waco, was toastmaster.

“First Love”
upon one man, a local resident. I
had him arrested and the case in-
vestigated while holding the in-
quest. There is considerable cir-
cumstantial evidence against this
man, and a verdict of the jury was
such that it was necessary to bind
him over to the District Court. This
was done under a $2,000 bond, in
default of which he was commited
to jail. We started home at 3 p.m.
and reached here quite a while
after nightfall. Went to the farm
early Saturday to see about things
there and came home and went to
town right after dinner. Wife im-
proving a little but far from well.
Started to Weatherford, Wednes-
day, Nov. 10, for a load of flour
and to try and see a man who had
left town owing me some money.
I fear he is trying to beat me out of
it, else he would not have left town
as he did.
Saturday, Nov. 13. Got home
late last night. No trace of the
man who owed me money. The
last I shall ever see of him no doubt.
Unloaded my wagon and stored
my supplies and spent the remain-
der of the day doing office work.
Nancy still quite poorly.
Friday, November 26. Sold my
town property to D. J. Thoma* for
$1,000 yesterday and commenced
moving my family to our farm north
of town. Hauled out two loads
this morning and took the family
this afternoon. Cool and large
numbers of wild geese flying south.
This is a fine farm and we ought
to be thankful to the Lord for the
home we occupy.
