There was a time in Bonham’s
histarv when the cold weather,
the mud or the rain would keep
the pupils away from the Sun-
day schools. That is not true
now. Sunday -it rained, the
thunder roared and the little ones
and some big ones were scared
but.they only hurried the faster
to the house of the Lord.
Look at the record below, dear
readerzit means something.
One thing it means is that the
Bonham people are consistent.
Men go to their places of busi-
ness through the mud and rain.’
Children gp to the week day Z
school in all kinds of weather—
why not to Sunday school? They
do in Bonham.
Somebody said last November
the interest in the Sunday schools
will die after the rally. It didn’t.
They said wait until after Christ-
mas, thev will go down. They
didn’t. Now these doubters say,
“Where and when will this thing
end?”. Friend, it will end when
all Bonham is in the Sunday
school and time shall be no more.
We are in the work to stay. If
; now.
Greater things are being planned*

JNO. C. SPARGER DEAD.
. . . ■ ~ i.
An Old Citizen of Bonham is Called
From His Long Labors on Earth.
John C. Sparger, Sr., di6d at
bis home in this city last Friday
night after being confined to his
bed less than two weeks. He
. had, however, been in very feeble
, health . for several years and his
advanced age made it difficult
for him to recuperate.
The funeral services were con-
ducted at the family home Fri-
day afternoon bv Rev. W. A.
Stuckey, of the First Methodist
church, after which the body
was taken in charge bv the Ma- . .. . ... • r .
. , , , L • . . . by the senous illness, of their
sonic lodge and buried with Ma-
sonic honors at Willow Wild
cemetery.
Mr. Sparger was one of the
early settlers of Bonham, having
come to this town in the lafter
part of 1857. He was a native
of Tennessee, being born in that
State Feb. 13. 1829. He came
to this place with Thos. C. Tefc
teller, who was a blacksmith.
Mr. Sparger being a wood-
workman, the two found a part-
nersh’p and worked together for
a time. . v . I
In 1859 he was married , to a
daughter of the date Barney L.
Johnson. Shortly after his mar-
riage he went West tp engage in
the sheep business, but met with
failure in that and returned to
Bonham. In 1862 he entered the
Confederatea army and served in
Howell's battery. ! 1

tracting and building. He was
quite successful, and amassed a
nice little fortune, a part, of
which was swept away in the
failure ol a bank in Sherman in
which he was a stockholder.
To him and his wife twelve
children were born, nine of whom
are yet living. Only two of them
reside in; Bonham, but all were
here to attend the funeral.
For many vears Mr. Sparger
had been a member of the Meth-

His Favorite Game-Bird.
At a dinner ohe day, says a writer
in the, Philadelphia Publl^ Ledger,
some men were discussing the merits
of different kinds of game-birds. One
preferred Canvasback duck, another,
woodcock, and still another thought a
quail the most delicious article of food
The discussion and the dinner ended
at about the same time.
“Now, Frank/’ said one of the men
to the waiter at his elbow, “what kind
of game do you like best?”
■ “Well, sub, to tell the truf, almost
any kind of game suits me. but what
I like bes’ is an American-eagle served
on a silber dollar;”—Youth’s Compan-
Entertaittd Her Sunday School Class.
On Thursday afternoon of last
week the members ot class No. 3.
of the First Christian Sunday
school, their teacher, superin-
tendent, pastor and other friends
of the class were highly 'enter-
tained at the home, of Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Halsell, the occasion
being the birthday of Mrs. Hal-
sell and Miss Wyatt.
After the guests had arrived
and spent a short time in pleas-
ant greetings aaid conversation
the hostess announced that our .turned here an(l engaged in con-
teacher, Mr. Ashley Evans,
would address the class. Before
commencing his talk he offered a
solemnizing our
to-
ouy
thoughts for higher and better
things. Although‘he remarked
that he had not prepared any-
thing to say and did not know
that he would be expected to
make a talk when he came, what
he said was good and very much
appreciated.
- Our superintendent, Mr. Will
H. Evans, was. then introduced
and entertained us in his usual
good natured, genial manner.
Just at the close of his talk, Bro.
Schoonover, our pastor, arrived
and made a splendid talk along
the line of class organization and
spoke very encouragingly of the
work of the class.
Mrs. Schoonover then sang
very beautifully, ‘‘April Rain.”
This was followed with a selec-
tion on the violin by Miss
Sherrard, accompanied bv Miss
Winifred Brown, which delight-
ed all.
; .Mrs. Halsell, who is president
of the class, gave some splendid
thoughts on the work that they
are planning to-do and assigned
work to different members. Im-
mediately after this the hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Ben Halsell,
Mrs. Lewis, Miss Tommie 01*’-
ham and Elizabeth Halsell
served a most delicious luncheon
which was heartily enjoyed.
‘After the luncheon we were
favored with more music. A
beautiful selection on the violin
