route to the Mississippi Coast for the

Masonic find has been made here.
When a man was looking over some
old books which had been stored
away for many years he came across
a number of account and minute
books aealing with Masonry in
Peebles.
These were handed on to the local
lodge, Peebles Kilwinning No. 24,
an‘d a scrutiny of the volumes by the
lodge officials quickly revealed their
importance. The oldest book is dated
1716, and it contains 'the minutes
dealing with the formation of the
lodge 214 years ago—one year be-
fore the formation of the first Grand
Lodge of Masonry inl717.

SHERMAN.—Unemployed persons
numbering 1,887 were in seven in-
corporated places in Grayson Coun-
ty, according to preliminary figures
released Thursday by E. A. Wright,
assistant to Charles Knapp, census
supervisor for district 4. In making
the figures public, Mr. Wright stated
that the total given represented two
classes of unemployed. These in-
clude men and women with no per-
manent jobs and men and women
with work, but who were idle the day
previous to the enumeration. Be-
cause of this, total shown for the ac- tented city on the Coast,
tually unemployed will be decreased,
Mr. Wright said.
For seventeen places in the dis-
trict consisting of Grayson, Mon-
tague, Fannin and Cooke Counties,
the total is 2,694, Cooke County re-
porting the smallest number, 40,
with Grayson County showing the
greatest number. Whitewright, in
Grayson County, reported the small-
est number for cities, one person be-
ing reported as unemployed.
Grayson County, seven places—
Sherman 756, Denison 963, Howe 8,
Van Alstyne 70, Whitesboro 63,
Bells 2, Whitewright 1. Total 1,887.
Fannin County, five places—Bon-
ham 200, Windom 15, Ladonia 49,
Trenton 23, Honey Grove 194. To-
tal 481.
Montague County, three places—
Bowie 104, St. Jo 30, Nocona 152.
Total 286.
Cooke County, two places—Gaines-
ville 20, Muenster 20. Total 40.
DENTON.—While their 4-year-old
son looked on, Sam Ward, 32, a
farmer living near Krum, eight miles
northwest of here, .shot and killed his
wife as she stood in their kitchen and
then walked into a bedroom to fire
a charge from a shotgun into his
brain. He died about an hour later.
The shooting took place about 11
o’clock Sunday morning.
Friends said Ward had been con-
fined in a mental hospital for a pe-
riod of time about five years ago and
it was believed the man in a sudden
fit of insanity killed his wife and
then himself.
Word of the tragedy was carried
from'the farm home by the little-
child, who fled following the shoot-
ing. He was picked up by a motorist
and an investigation followed when
the little boy declared “Papa killed
mamma.”
The Wards lived on a farm owned
by Dr. A. H. Knox of Krum. At 10
a. m. Sunday Dr. Knox carried two
of the Ward children to church and
at that time their father seemed to
be in a normal condition. Five chil-
dren survive. Ward had lived in the
vicinity of Krum about eighteen
months.
A verdict of murder and surcide
was returned by Justice W. A. Math-
ews of Denton, who held an inquest
Sunday afternoon.
“I’m as fit as a fiddle,” said R. M.
Chappel, an aged veteran of Austin,
Texas, as he waited under the sta-
tion shed for the train to pull out.
Another gay veteran was D. D.
Page, a blind Confederate fiddler,
who sat in a place of honor in the
middle of one of the coaches and
poured forth a series of old time
melodies.
Another interesting figure of the
Old West there was A. G. Collins, of
San Angelo, Texas.
“I was born in 1846,” he said with
pride. “I killed my first Indian be-
fore I was 12 years old. He was a
Comanche. I was an original mem-
ber of the Texas Rangers. There
aren’t any more bad men left in the
West.”
As the gray line filed from the
coaches under the big shed and then
filed back for the pulling out of the
train they were joined by a number
of Louisiana delegates and headed
for Biloxi.
Elopers Steal Furniture
SALISBURY, Eng.—James Oxford
got a warrant for his wife and
Charles Cook, who had eloped,
charging them with stealing all the
furniture in Oxford’s home.
No Change
A sick man that wasn’t very sick
got the doctor to say that he ought
to go to Europe for a month. When
he came back he went around to the
doc again.
“Well,” says the doc, “you’re feel-
ing a lot better, ain’t you?”
“No, I ain’t.”
“But didn’t the change do you no
good?”
“There wasn’t any change. My
wife went along,” he says, kinda
hopeless-like.”
