Naples couple treated like company here
A Naples couple drove into
town Sunday and were treated
like company.
They were given a warm
welcome by people at the Na-
ples Community Inn.
Mayor Rex Allen, told of
their arrival, even prepared a
letter making them honorary
citizens.
The couple, Mr. and Mrs.
H. E. Coye, are from Naples.
New York — a long, long ways
from this East Texas commu-
nity.
Mr. and Mrs. Coye, retired
from grape farming, have been
touring the country since early
December.
They went to Ft. Bragg,
N. C. for a Christmas visit with
one of their three sons, an
army major. After a while
there, they traveled to De-
Queen, Ark., to visit a cousin
of his they hadn't seen in over
30 years.
By then, Mrs. Coye was
getting a little homesick for
their Naples and noticed this
East Texas town on a map. She
wanted to stop here.
When they checked in at
the Community Inn, word soon
Subscribe To The Monitor
got around that the couple
was from another Naples and
Bill Henderson, secretary of
the Inn's board of directors,
arranged for Mayor Allen to
welcome the couple and make
them honorary citizens.
Mrs, Coye said they were
"flattered" to say the least.
"All the people here that we
have met are so nice."
Besides the son in North
Carolina, they have another
who is a salesman and a third
who is a veterinarian. Both
live in New York.
In no hurry on their tour of
the country, the Coyes said
they would remain here for
two or three days.
"You've got darn nice beds
here and real nice people,"
Coye said. "We might stay
through the winter."

MR. AND MRS. COYE AND MAYOR ALLEN
Marshall couple
buys Naples store
Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Glaze,
formerly of Marshall, have
purchased Garrett's Depart-
ment Store, Inc., at Naples.
The store has been closed
this week for inventory and

Monitoring
MAIN
STREET
While that department store
trade was in the making here
a couple of weeks ago, W. G.
Granberry, the bank president,
drew the job of setting up the
meeting between buyers and
sellers.
All six sellers arrived at the
bank's conference room on
time and waited for the buy-
ers, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Glaze.
They waiWfd and waited and
waited.
Then came the slow realiza-
tion of what had and had not
been done.
Mr. Granberry had forgot-
ten to tell Mr. land Mrs. Glaze
of the important meeting.
The government has a whole
lot of free booklets you can
have for the asking, Congress-
man Wright Patman says.
Along with those, on infant
care and the child from one to
six years old, you can be sent
a booklet giving the story of
the land from the time of the
Stone Age until the present,
or the Pledge of Allegiance in
color as set to music by Irving
Caesar.
There's also one called "Our
American Government", what
it is, how it functions — every-
thing quite likely except why
it should spend taxpayer mon-
ey printing and mailing out
.free booklets.
One of those official envel-
opes from Mrs. Audrey Mae
Childress' county clerk's office
at Daingerfield arrived here
Wednesday morning with a
clipping of Larry Talley's fur-
niture store ad last week.
Someone in county seat ob-
viously thought they finally
had found The Monitor to be
wrong.
The ad listed a refrigerator
that normally sells for $309.95
on sale for $349.95.
Actually Talley wanted it
that way.
He was preparing his sale
list when he got word of that
county pay raise.
Up seemed the only logical
way to go.
This Saturday is the last day
to pay city, school, county,
state and poll taxes.
Have a nice week end.
will be re-opened probably
as Glaze's Department Store.
Mrs. Glaze is the former Di-
ann Morgan, daughter of Mrs.
W. H. Morgan of Naples and
the late Mr. Morgan, who op-
erated a general merchandise
store here for many years.
Mr. and Mrs. Glaze and their
two children moved here last
Saturday to a house on Dain-
gerfield Street owned by Mr.
and Mrs. Perry McMichael.
Mrs. Glaze has been em-
ployed as a teacher in the
Marshall Schools, and Glaze
has been employed at Kar-
nack.
The store has been operated
as a locally owned corporation
since October of 1957 when
local people bought out the
interests of Ben J. Owens and
changed the name of the store
to Garrett's.
Stockholders were Leon Gar-
rett, president of the corpora-
tion, Lee Narramore, secreta-
ry, Mrs. Clyde Brock, Leon
Coker, W. G. Granberry and
John Milton Heard.
Two fined for
theft of sweater
Two young Naples Negroes
were arrested and fined in Jus-
tice Court in Omaha last week
end for theft.
The Negroes, both minors,
went into the R. M. Giles store
late Saturday afternoon while
Giles was in the back of the
store altering a pair of trous-
ers.
While one busied Mrs. E. A.
Witt, who waited on them, on
the pretext of buying a pair of
trousers the other rolled a
man's sweater up in the jacket
he was carrying and they both
left.
Mrs. Witt discovered the
theft shortly afterward and
ran out of the store and caught
the Negroes about a block
away. When she confronted
them they denied the theft but
the sweater fell on the side-
walk when she grabbed the
jacket.
When Mrs. Witt went into
a store to call Deputy Sheriff
Dick Lawings and Constable
Andrew Fleming the Negroes
ran.
Lawings arrested them early
Sunday in Naples and took
them to Mrs. Witt's home for
identification and then to the
Justice Court where Justice of
the Peace Douglas Irby fined
them $25.50 each and released
them.

Lone Star veteran retires
J. M. Brashear, a veteran
Lone Star Steel Company em-
ployee, will retire from active
management on Jan. 31.

perintendent. He formerly was
superintendent of the open
hearth department.

JAMES L. SLIDER
James L. Slider, state repre-
sentative from Morris, Marion
and Cass counties, was ap-
pointed chairman of one im-
portant committee and a mem-
ber of four others as legisla-
tive committees were announc-

was chairman of the Game and
Fisheries committee, and a
member of the Revenue and
Taxation, Local and Uncon-
tested Bills, Insurance, and the
Privileges, Suffrage and Elec-
tion committees.
Slider said he was particul-
arly pleased to be appointed
chairman of the Game and
Fisheries Committee because
of the rapid development in
that field in the second dis-
trict.
Serving as chairman will
give him an opportunity, he
said, to further assist with
such facilities as Lake Texar-
kana and Lake O' the Pines
and to work with the people
of his district with their de-
velopment and promotion.
The importance of these fa-
cilities to the district, he said,
is indicated in the fact that
over four million enthusiasts
visited I.,ake O' the Pines
alone lasv year.

Superintendent Leonard Eller, center, of Lone
Star Steel's pipe mills posed with supervisors
who helped win the company's bi-monthly
good housekeeping award. On the front row
are Jim Ramey of Daingerfield, Walt Stage of
Longview, Eller, Gene Byrd of Daingerfield,
and Al Slagle of Longview. Behind are Bill
Stauts, Merle Simons and Jack Ramey, all of
Daingerfield, Floyd Walton of Longview, Bill
Capps of Ore City, and Steve Noga of Long-
view.
The award was shared by
the two departments for their
outstanding housekeeping pro-
grams in 1984.
At the same time. MacDon-
ald presented the electric re-
sistance weld pipe mills with
the bi-monthly housekeeping
award.
The housekeeping inspec-
tions are held bi-monthly at
the big plant with a yearly'
winner selected annually.
Though both the warehouse
and utilities departments have
captured bi-monthly awards
several times in the past, 1964
was the first time either had
won the annual award.
G. O. Heaberlin of Long-
view accepted on behalf of the
warehouse employees. Floyd
Bullard of Daingerfield re-
ceived the utilities plaque.
The pipe mills award was re-
ceived by Leonard Eller of
Longview.
Coincidentally, both utilities
and the warehouse have long-
time safety records.
The warehouse this week is
less than a month shy of op-
erating 4,000 days without a
disabling accident. The utili-
ties record is near 3,500 days
and amounts to over 1,800,000
man hours.
The plaques were present-
ed in a superintendent's safe-
ty meeting. They later were
presented by supervisors to
their employees.
