purchase gives him 240 acres of the
best pasture in this area, capable, he
said, of sustaining 150 head of cat-
tle.
Farmers in this section have been
greatly disturbed because it would
not rain and turn cold. Wonder what
their attitude is now. We noticed
where farmers out in the west who
have had their land prepared for two
years and waiting patiently for rain
have decided to move for fear there ■
might come a drouth.

cold weather only five members and

ments were served by the hostess.

account of our pastor, the Rev. C.
Chumbley of Enterprise church. He
says that he understands that Rev.
Chumbley has moved nearby oui»
home town, but that he has never yet
seen him in our city. I thought that
perhaps he was one among the many
of those home-loving men, who just
stayed at home with the wife and kid-
dies except when necessary to leave.
But, nevertheless, I decided to make
a few inquiries about his where-
abouts. While talking to Rev. Chumb-
ley a few days ago on the street, a
good Methodist steward, Bro. John
Smith from the Canaan church, in-
formed me that he saw Rev. Chumb-
ley in Bells a few nights ago, and
that the time was rather late. Neith-
er seemed to be able to account for
the late hours, but it seems that each
one knew just a trifle too much to
tell on the other. Thus they both
played “shut-mouth.” So, perhaps,

The large sheet-iron shed located
north of the fire station was torn
down by the city first of the week,
obliterating an eyesore that has been
particularly noticeable since the erec-

ago by D. C. H. Bradford to house
his produce business, was later used
as a warehouse by J. W. McMurry,
later still as a blacksmith shop, and
in recent years has been used by the
city as a warehouse.

Sherman Democrat.)
The oldest living couple in White-
wright, and probably in the county
are Mr. and Mrs. John Newton Car-
ter, who are both 95 years old. Six-
ty-nine years of their lives have been
spent together since their marriage
Nov. 2, 1865, and they are the par-
ents of 10 children, eight of whom
they reared to maturity. In their
ninety-fifth year they are in fair
health and expect to celebrate their
seventieth wedding anniversary next
November.

in Albany, Clinton County, Ky., the
son of John Newton and Becky Ann
Carter. V
and joined the Church of Christ at
the age of 27 years. He came to Tex-
as 48 years ago. He settled with his
family first in Waco, then moved to
a farm near Orangeville, three miles
from Trenton. They moved to White-
wright 12 years ago. Mr. Carter
served as a corporal in Company D,
twelfth Kentucky infantry, Union
army, during the Civil War and was
in service four years. His two broth-
ers also served four years in the
Union army.
Mr. Carter’s favorite occupation
nowadays is reading by the fire, but
he is also an accurate horseshoe
pitcher and likes the game.
Mrs. Carter, whose given name is
Matherine, was born Aug. 15, 1839,
in Clinton County, Ky. She was a
Methodist from the age of 14 years
until she joined the church of her
husband’s choice after moving to
Texas. Her hobby is the raising of
chickens and turkeys.
