we may expect a greater vari-
ety of more and better exhibits
than at any previous fair.
Every person in this section
should lend his co-operation in
this matter. We really don’t
know what a splendid agricul-
tural community we have here
until we see its products, pro-
duced by good soil and intelli-
gent effort, assembled in one
spot.

Concrete was laid the first of

pavement in the center of the
street in front of the building
owned by Mrs. Albert Dickson
and occupied by the City Drug
Store. R. L. Loven, who has
the contract, states that he
knows of no other paving which
will be done in the near future,
but it is hoped that all the un-
paved fronts along Main street
will be paved before the rainy
season.

The marriage license business
in Choctaw county is on a boom,
30 licenses having been issued
at Hugo last week, 16 of which
were for Texas couples. The
requirement of a three day no-!
lice in Texas previous to the i
io license no doubt
sudden popularity j
of Oklahoma marriages.
County Judge T. W. Hunter!
of Hugo, has performed 50
marriage ceremonies since tak-
ing office six months ago.

A sum of $3,000 has been ap-
propriated by the Lamar coun-
ty commissioners court to pay
the salary .of an assistant ‘ to
the county agent who will de-
vote his time to the dairy in-
dustry. The appropriation will
be effective when the stock
issued to build the milk plant
in Paris is subscribed. The
duty of the man will be to give
expert advice in matters con-
nected with dairying and to
help farmers to profit more
quickly from dairying after the
proposed milk plant has been
built.
Albert Hutchinson was elect-
ed president of the Deport Com-
munity Club Wednesday after-
noon at a meeting held at the
J. M. Grant store. J. C. Bar-
ham was named vice-president,
.2 _. B. Hutson, secretary-
treasurer. A board of direct-
ors will later be named by the
membership, and necessary
standing committees appointed.
Aside from the election of
officers, plans for the Commun-
ity Fair was the chief topic of
discussion. A number of im-
portant things connected there-
with were discussed, being led
chiefly by J. R. Hutchison Jr.
who was chairman of the Fair
committee last year, and who
proved to be an excellent offi-
cial.
Sam Holloway also read a
letter from Chester L. May, re-
garding prospects for the bring-
ing of natural gas to Deport.
This letter will be found in this
issue of The Times.
The Masonip Past Masters’
association of Lamar county
will meet with Blossom lodge
No. 303, at Blossom Saturday
night, and every past master in
the county, as well as every
elective officer is invited to at-
tend.
At this meeting, the associa-
tion will perfect all details in-
cident to the public meeting
which is to be held at Lamar
county fair grounds Friday.
July 26. All lodges in

J. B. Steed of the State Fire
Insurance Department, was in
Deport Friday for the purpose
of checking up on all fire haz-
ard risks and giving credits
where due.,, A complete new
schedule of fire insurance
charges and credits will be giv-
en Deport shortly upon the re-
ports made by Mr. Steed.
Here’s hoping some of them will
be lower. There has been a
constant increase in charges for
fire risks over a long period of
time.

Annie Mae Fulbright, 36
year old negress, died early
Tuesday morning at her home
North of Deport. Deceased was
the wife of Perry Fulbright
and was well known among the
colored people of this section
where she had lived for many
years. Funeral services were
held at 4 o’clock Tuesday after- Oklahoma are expected and all
noon with interment at the
colored cemetery south of De-

Friday and Saturday, August
23 and 24, are the days official-
ly designated to hold Deport’s
annual Community Fair. This
action was taken at a meeting
of the Deport Community Club
held Wednesday afternoon, and
numerous people who have been
inquiring as to the dates in or-
der that they might prepare
exhibits therefor may now pro-
ceed with their work with the
assurance that this year’s fair
will doubtless be the’ biggest
and best of any that the people
of the Deport country have
ever attempted.
It was also determined to
place a community exhibit at
the Lamar District Fair again
this year, and the best of our
product^ will be in place when
the big show opens in Paris on
September 9.
Complete organization for the
carrying on of necessary pre-
parations incident to the suc-
cess of the Community Fair
will be made and announced in
next week’s issue of The Times,
and the several committees
earnestly solicit the co-oper-
ation of all the people in this
section in making the fair a big
success.
Deport’s Community Fair
last year was the best of its
kind we have ever held. Not
until three weeks previous to
the fair was it definitely de-
cided to hold it, and prepara-
tions were necessarily brief, and
many things omitted that
might have been included.
With considerable more time
at their disposal, particularly in
the preparation Of products for
exhibit, and the conditioning of
five stock, swine and poultry,

C. H. Jones, who lives at
Greenville, was badly crushed
Friday by a cave-in of the east
bank of Denton creek on the
Bankhead highway, three miles
west of Mount Vernon.
He and two other men were
excavating for the foundation
for the new bridge the State
Highway Department is con-
structing. The crash came so
suddenly the men did not have
a chance to escape from the pit.
The others were slightly
bruised.
Chas. Pretre, 78, a native of
Switzerland, who came to Am-
erica in 1870, died Friday at
his home at Paris. Mr. Pretre
made his home at Milton for
twenty years and is well known
to the older people of that com-
munity. He had lived at Paris
a like number of years. Pos-
sessing a knowledge of almost
every modern European lan-
guage, deceased devoted a num-
ber of the years which he spent
in America to teaching.
Funeral services were held
Saturday with interment at the
Evergreen cemetery at Paris.
Cotton lost about 10 points
Monday, but rallied rather
sharply later in the day on a
bullishly construed government
acreage report. The general
market closed steady at net ad-
vances of 17 points on all ative and B.
months. October rallied from
18.06 to 18.34 and closed at
18.33.
This year’s acreage was esti-
mated by the Department of
Agriculture at 48,497,000 acres
compared with 46,946,000 acres
on July 1 of last year. The
acreage in Texas was estimated
at 18,697,000 acres, compared
with 18,333,000 on the same
date last year. This year’s ac-
reage is six-tenths of 1 per cent
less than the record acreage of
48,730,000 planted in 1926, the
Department points out.
Lamar county song leaders are
requested to bring their sing-
ers to tjie meeting.-

House bill 126 making an
emergency appropriation of
$450,000 to pay the deficit in
the rural aid and high school
tuition appropriations made by
the Fortieth Legislature, was
signed and filed Friday by Gov-
ernor Moody.
The increase was due to many
requests for high school tui-
tion, more rural aid schools and
more consolidations during the
two-year period, Governor
Moody said in giving his
proval to the measure.
