A new son has been stopping
at the home of Mr. W. T. Stock-
ton, Jr., since Monday. Mr.
Stockton says the young gen-
tleman is a heavy-weight.
Mr. John T. Atkinson has been
seriously ill for some time and at
last aocounts his condition show-
ed no improvement. The pray-
ers of this people are for his re-
covery.
At the recent meeting of the
directors of the First National
bank it was decided to increase
the surplu? to $125,000, the
amount of the capital stock.
This gives a capital and surplus
of $250,000, and makes the First
National one of the largest bank-
ing institutions in the state out-
side of the larger cities.
With all its happiness and
sadness, its fulfillments and
disappointments, its gains
and its losses, is gone.
THE NEW YEAR
Fraught with limitless possi-
bilities, hopes and ambi-
tions, is here.
May your coming year make
your possibilities actual facts;
may your hopes and ambi-
tion^ be realized; may health
and happiness be yours; and
may you realizd some of the
opportunities we offer you
for your drug trading.
With kind wishes, we are,
Truly yours,
Dailey & Henderson
Prescription Druggists.
South Side Square. ;
Mr. C. A. Caton moved his
family this week to Mineola
where he has purchased a large
farm and will engage in stock-
raising.
Messrs. Joe Shields and Ed
Campbell, of Ladonia, have pur-
chased the W. B. Dean grocery
and saloon on the east side. Mr.
Dean, has moved back to Mexia,
his former home.
Mr. Sr H:" tjuthrey, of Fort
Worth has purchased the black-
smith shop opposite Bryan’s
livery stable, known as the Mc-
Cullough shop, and has taken
charge of same. He is a pleas-
ant gentleman and a good work-
man and Honey Grove gladly
extends the welcome hand.
We learn that S. J. Spotts, who
is charged with appropriating
funds belonging to the Petty
National bank while he was
cashier of that institution, has
reimbursed the bank to the
amount of his defalcation.
What further steps, if any, will
be taken in the matter we are
not advised. Spotts has fur-
nished bond in the sum of $1500.
Miss Swann, teacher of the
third grade in the publio school,
was the victim of quite a painful
accident Christmas eve and has
been unable to fill her place in
the public school this week. She
was visiting her sister in Ennis
and served as Santa Claus at
a Christmas tree given at the
residence of a friend. While
engaged in distributing presents
her costume caught fire from the
candles on the tree and she was
painfully burned.
The Petty Enterprise says Mr.
A. N. Wilburn recently butcher-
ed a hog which weighed 674
pounds net and rendered a bar-
rel of lard from the giant porker.
Mr. Wilburn also killed four one-
year-old shotes which averaged
over 300 pounds each.
Since December 26fch a new
son has been stopping with Mr.
and Mrs. Ras Eversole. The
young gentleman arrived too
late to have his stockings filled
by Santa Clans but is enjoying
the holiday season notwithstand-
ing. ___
Mr. R. L. Wood still wears a
Christmas smile notwithstanding
that a week has elapsed since the
glad day passed into history.
The cause of his prolonged mer-
riment is that a big, bouncing
boy has been stopping at his
home since Sunday.
Next Wednesday night the
Woodmen will have a public in-
stallation of officers which will
be followed by a banquet. All
the “Choppers” and their fami-
lies should be present and par-
ticipate in the evening’s pleas-
ures. Tuesday night is the reg-
ular meeting of the lodge and .as
there is business of importance a
full attendance is desired.

Mr. Wl1 B. Leeman places his
announcement before the people
this wee;k as. a candidate for
City Marshal. Mr. Leeman was
born and; reared in Honey Grove
and is tod well known to need
any introduction to this people.
He served) as Marshal two years
and his record is an open book.
Any man in Honey Grove will
tell you tf at Mr. Leeman is a big-
hearte^jfgenial gentleman and
that ht^b^sesses al| the. traits
that go to cbake an efficient peace
officer. Blis announcement is
subject toithe action of the Dem-
ocratic party.
In the early morning of the
good year 1903 the Signal takes
occasion Jo thank its many
friends afld patrons for their
liberal patlonage and words of
encouragement. Publishing a
country newspaper is not a soft
snap by afiy means. It is an
undertaking that demands the
maximum of work and yields the
minimum of profit. So small is
the golden current that flows into
the exchequer, and so strenuous
the lifq that must be led in order
to keep creditors pacified, that
little fee irleft fcirplan andoon -
struct journals of sufficient merit
to please readers and reflect
credit upon those engaged in the
arduous calling. This, and the
lack of ability upon the part of
the editor, are the Signal’s ex-
cuses for not having been a bet-
ter journal in the past, and its
fears that it will not be what it
ought to be in the future. But,
in spite of its shortcomings, the
Signal has been kindly received
and liberally patronized, and to-
day the feeling rests upon it that
it has fared better than it has de-
served. New Year is a time for
new resolutions, and gladly would
we resolve this morning to make
the Signal of the future as supe-
rior to the Signal of the past as
hyperion to a satyr were we con-
scious of the ability to make good
the promise; but knowing that
these same conditions must be
reckoned with and that the paper
will be good or poor as it is able
to overcome the obstacles, we
can only resolve to continue the
strenuous life and, if possible, to
add a little to the strenuousness.
Again thanking patrons and
friends for their liberality and
encouragement, we wish one and
all a happy, prosperous New
Year.

A Trolley Ride. .
Mrs. J. A. Underwood enter-
tained the Sans Soucr club
Wednesday afternoon, December
31st, in the most unique and nov-
el affair of the season. While
trolley rides are rather unheard
of at this season, we each concur
in thinking this was a most en-
joyable one.
The house was tastefully deco-
rated* the library window form-
ing qpite an artistic office, pre-
sided) over by Miss Ballew as
ticket) agent; each guest purchas-
ing a ticket for Parchesi Park.
Various were the stopping
points- ! Domino Downs, Hearts-
town, fclinchville, Jack Straw
BorouBi, Fantanton, Lottoville,
TiddleBywipksbury and Parche-
si Par* all being popular resorts
were vBited for a short stay.
Miss» Walcott succeeded in
stoppiA at the resorts oftener
and wcM first prize—a miniature
grip of BDon-bons; Miss B. Hill
the eoAolation—a trolley car.
After dllightful refreshments we
reluctantly were rushed away by
night appearing, each feeling
that it Npts good to be there.

Free Mail Delivery,
Postmaster Bloys has received
notification that service on the
free rural delivery routes lead-
ing out of Honey Grove will be
begun February 2nd. There are
nine of these routes, five south
and four north, and they cover
practically all the country near
Honey Grove. The free delivery
of mail in the country is one of
the most important steps taken
by the postal department and is
gradually being extended to ev-
ery section of the country. It
will work many changes but, on
the whole, we believe will result
in great benefit to people who
reside in rural sections.
Postmaster Bloys requests us
to ask all persons who live upon
any of the routes to request cor-
respondents to place number of
route on mail addressed to them.
If you live upon a route and do
not know the number thereof
apply to the Postmaster for your
number.
These routes cover an area of
228 1-2 square miles with a pop-
lation.of 4,085. When the de-
livery service is inaugurated the
postoffices at Reuben, Root,
Bantam, Yew and Nicholson will
be discontinued.

agonies lof death and a few
minutes la|er she expired.

years in Hpney Grove and many

deep sorrow of her demise. The

erable companion.
Gone / ,ne Pen.
Mrs. Nar T Martin who was
convicted complicity in the
mpraer of her husband, I. J.
Martin, on the night of May 1,
1001, is iiOW an inrqate of the
state penitentiary at 'Rusk. This
tragedy was enacted about four
miles south of Honey Grove and
the details of the horrible affair
are still fresh in the mihds of our
people.
R. D. Hudson, Mrs.; Martin’s
father, an old man bowed be-
neath the weight of years, con-
fessed to the murder, and swore
that he committed the horrible
crime because of Martin’s bru-,
tality toward MrS. Martin. He
was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, but died in jail a few
weeks after the sentence was
pronounced. A few days before
his death Hudson called the
jailer and guards to his bedside
and told them that he . alone was
responsible for the deaWr ^f Mar-
tin and stated further thaV Mrs.
Martin was as innocent as.Vnew-
born babe. This declaration of
the dying man naturally g1 sates
doubt in the minds of all |3 to
the guilt of the woman wllo is
now serving a term in the state
prison.

Salt pork is a famous old'
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. “Eat plenty of
pork,” was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The ide
behind it is that fat is
food the consumptive
most.
Scott’sEmulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat t
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott’s Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott’s Emulsion does more
than that. There is some-
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott’s Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
