That the hawk pursued the pigeon

The following account of the mar-
riage of Miss Samantha Murphy,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Murphy, southwest of town, was clip-
ped from the Cotulla News:
A quiet wedding that is of much
interest to La Salle County people
was solemnized at Pearsall Saturday
morning, when Miss Samantha Mur-
phy, an adopted daughter of the city
of Cotulla, became the bride of Mr.
Albert Urban Knaggs, one of La
Salle County’s favorite sons, and Co-
tulla’s own “old boy.” The ceremony
that united the lives of this popular
couple, both of whom belong to the
esteemed portion of society, was per-
formed at the Methodist Church at
Pearsall by the Rev. Mr. Calhoun,
pastor of that church. Their only at-
tendant- was a friend of the groom,
Mr. Arthur Dawson, the District
Clerk of Frio County.
The attractive, amiable bride is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Murphy, old residents of the city of
Whitewright. She has lived in Co-
tulla three years where she has
taught in the high school as head of
the department of English. She holds
a B. A. degree from the University
of Texas. The efficiency of her
work is distinctly shown in the qual-
“Not all accidents that happen are
motoring mishaps,” remarked S. H.
Montgomery of the S. H. Montgom-
ery & Son Agency, “although statis-
tics show that more people are in-
jured or killed in automobile acci-
dents than by othei’ means.”
In a recent interview Mr. Mont-
gomery mentioned some of the un-
usual accidents that have actually
happened to people. A man was en-
joying a few moments’ relaxation in
a rocking chair in his room at a
boarding house. The chair tipped
over backwards precipitating the oc-
cupant through the window to the
ground below. He was taken to the
hospital but was so severely injured
that he failed to recover.
Ho-Hum! You know what it is to
yawn. It is not considered danger-
ous, and yet when a Boston man in-
dulged in a vigorous yawn, he dislo-
cated his jaw. Two anaesthetics had
to be administered, and three physi-
cians worked an hour to get the jaw
back into place.
Arguments frequently get one in-
to trouble. It certainly did in the
case of a Texas politician who rolled
out of bed and broke his collar bone.
He afterward explained that he was
dreaming of a forthcoming campaign
and was arguing some.’ point in con-
nection with local politics.
An innocent game of indoor ping-
pong, which is becoming popular
again, resulted in a serious accident
to a policyholder. During the game
he accidentally bumped his head on
a corner of the table injuring his
eye.
It is quite common to hear of a
hunter shooting a goose but most
unusual to hear of a goose shooting
a hunter. That’s what happened to
a man who was hunting in Califor-
nia. The hunter shot the goose, but
in falling the bird kicked over the
shotgun of a companion which was
lying nearby, promptly discharging
the gun and wounding the hunter in
the hand.
Then, there’s the unusual case of
an amateur actoi’ in a benefit play
being given in an Indiana town. The
man who was acting the part of the
judge in the drama entitled “Who
Killed Earl Wright?” rapped so
vigorously with his gavel that the
head flew off striking one of the
actor jurymen, breaking his glasses
and severely injuring his right eye.
Of course, points out Mr. Mont-
gomery, it isn’t the strange and un-
usual things that cause the greatest
number of accidents, but it is im-
portant to be ever on guard against
mishaps of every kind. Not every ac-
cident can be prevented, but a large
majority of them can. The best ad-
vice anyone can offer is ^Practice
carefulness in all things you under-
take and avoid hasty action wher-
ever possible.

Traveling salesmen are authority
for the statement that more mer-
chandise is sold in Deport than in
any town of double Deport’s popula-
tion in Northeast Texas, in spite of
‘ the fact that Deport is only eighteen
miles from Paris. Deport has one of
the best weekly newspapers in Tex-
as, the Deport Times, and few week-
ly newspapers carry as much local
advertising as the Deport Times.
Probably this has something to do
with it.—Clarksville Times.

Austrian field peas and hairy
vetch, sowed down the first of last
October with oats and barley, not
only furnished six weeks of rich late
fall pasture for G. O. Peterson of
Grayson County, but the peas and
vetch lived through the winter and
have made a remarkable spring
growth. They will soon be turned
under as a green soiling crop to en-
rich the land, this being the object
of the demonstration carried on in
co-operation with the county agent.
The mixture sowed broadcast on the
six-acre plot last fall consisted of 30
pounds each of oats and barley per
acre, and 10 pounds each of Aus-
trian field peas and hairy vetch per
acre. From Nov. 1 to Dec. 16, when
a severe freeze killed back the top
growth, ample grazing was afforded

The country home of Mr. and Mrs.
A. B. Webster, four miles north of
Whitewright, was the scene of a fam-
ily reunion Sunday, the occasion be-
ing the joint birthday celebration of
H. L. Webster of Sherman and A. B.
Webster. The affair was a complete
surprise to both of the honorees. At
noon a bountiful dinner was served.
Either end of the long table held a
huge birthday cake, one with forty-
four candles, the other with sixty.
The centerpiece was a bouquet of
old-fashioned flowers. In the gen-
eral conversation which followed,
Mrs. H. L. Webster told interesting-
ly of a trip from which she has just
returned, which carried her through
eleven states, the climax being
reached in a visit to her old home in
Kentucky, where she had not been in
twenty-nine years. Kodak pictures
were made of the group and cream
and cake were served in the after-
noon before the crowd dispersed.
The personnel of the party in-
cluded Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Webster
and son, John, of Sherman; Mr. and
Mrs. H. G. Webster and daughters,

said
Wednesday that there was only one
vacant dwelling in Whitewright,
and he expected that one to be rent-

or cities, for that matter, can boast
of such a record as this.
Whitewright and build ;
Whitewright Sun.
There is a good deal in the news-
papers concerning the “decay” of
the small towns. But all small towns
are not decaying. Some of them are
growing steadily. Every one that has
a. flourishing, "well-patronized news-
paper is holding on. That is true of
Whitewright. That town has larger
competitors in easy motoring dis-
tance, but The Whitewright Sun
gives no evidence of despairing mer-
chants. It is no surprise, then, that
there is only one vacant dwelling in
Whitewright. Very likely that one is
dilapidated in some respect. Here is
a good place to say that every
empty, uninhabitable house in any
town should be torn down and used
for kindling, if the salvage is good
for nothing better. A town with di-
lapidated structures, residential or
commercial, is always a bad adver-
tisement for itself. The same might
be said of farm premises. Ram-
shackle outhouses give any farm-
stead a bad recommendation. If the
structure is of no use let it be de-
molished. If it is of use, let it be re-
paired and made respectable. There
are. half-burned houses, leaning
chimneys, broken windows, sagging
'roofs in nearly every Texas town,
eyesores every one of them. The
owners seem to have neither pride
nor energy enough to remove or im-
prove them. The failing towns have
that sort of spirit. It takes some pep
to be either a prosperous landlord or
a prosperous community. — State
Press in Dallas News.
