“We did our home improvement
ourselves,” stated Mrs. R. D. Mad-
dux, living room demonstrator of the
Whitewright Home Demonstration
Club as she received some 157 guests
at her open house Thursday after-
noon from two to four o’clock.
“First we laid new hardwood floors
in the living room, dining room, front
bedroom and hall. I’d place the
boards so they would fit, then my
husband would nail them down.
Then we sanded the floors, put on a
filler, then two coats of shellac, two
coats of varnish and finally I waxed
them four times,” Mrs. Maddux said.
After the floors were finished, Mrs.
Maddux then began reconditioning
her furniture. She upholstered a
divan and chair to match in a blue
brocade material. Needing more
chairs, she - purchased two second
hand ones, a wing and an occasional.
She reupholstered the wing chair in
a gold colored material and the occa-
sional in a dull rose. Hei’ sister, Mrs.
Otto Russell, made her* a footstool by
adding varnished legs to an upturned
cold drink box. She then upholstered
it in the same material as the wing
chair.
Other items of living room im-
provement include new mantle, man- ,
tie light, indirect ceiling light, refin-
ished woodwork, one handmade rug,
new end table, and Venetian blinds.
Mrs. Maddux states that the Venetian
blinds were the most expensive of
all, but they were worth the price
because they let in so much light and
they will last a long time.
She further stated, “At first I
dreaded all the work because I had
so much to do, but after I got
started,. I liked it so well that I just
kept on.”
She kept on by refinishing the
woodwork in the entire house, repa-
pering the kitchen, building and fin-
ishing a kitchen cabinet, refinishing
breakfast set and chairs, refinishing
dresser, adding new kitchen floor
covering and shades to four rooms,
modernizing an iron bedstead and
’ putting a chintz cover on it, and up-
holstering and slip covering a bed-
room chair.
•Mrs. Maddux says, “We’ve sacri-
ficed other things to have the house,
but all of us are glad we did. All
the family enjoys every inch of it
and we’re proud to show it to our
friends. I think I’ve saved from $75
to $90 on my living room furniture by
upholstering the divan and chairs in-
stead of purchasing new ones.”
Assisting in receiving guests
showing the house were: Mrs.
Russell, Mrs. W. L. Hatfield,
Gordon Mullinix and Miss Viva Phil-
lips. Mrs. Ed Martin registered the
guests.'- Mrs. Ronald Vestal poured
punch. Mrs. Lee Norris, Mrs. Mattie
Hastings, Mrs. Lee Wilson, and Mrs.
Newell Skaggs assisted in serving re-
freshments.
Guests included vistors from the
Bethel, Trenton, Savoy and Gober
Home Demonstration Clubs and the
girls of the Whitewright homemak-
ing department of the High School.
The next meeting will be in the
home of Miss Myrtle Badgett Nov. 27,

W. L. Beaty, owner of a
store in Savoy, was found dead
highway 82 between Savoy and Bells
a^out 6:30 a. m. Tuesday, a .22 calibre
rifle under his feet and a bullet
wound in his head. An all-night
search had been made for him.
Mr. Beaty left home about 6 p. m.,
telling his wife he was going to
town. When he failed to return late
evening, Sheriff Talmadge
Moore was called from Bonham and
the whole community was searched.
The body was in a shallow ditch and
had been overlooked in the dark.
Justice of Peace Jess Wall of Sher-
man conducted an inquest at the
scene, just across the line in Grayson
County. His verdict was that death
resulted from a gunshot wound, self-
inflicted.
A native of Alabama, Mr. Beaty
came to Texas about 1912 and had
lived in the Bells vicinity about 20
years. For 12 years he lived in Bells
and walked back and forth, to his
store at Savoy. He was a bachelor
until he was married to Mrs. Lyda
Allen, on Sept. 18. A former school
teacher, he was a member of the
Baptist Church and Odd Fellows
lodge.
Surviving besides his wife are two
brothers in Tennessee and a sister in
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The body was prepared for burial
by Glen Earnheart.

daughters spent last Sunday with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Harper,
near Bonham.

family and Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Mc-
Coy were dinner guests of Mr. and

P. Booher, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Cox
