LET’S GO TO E. TEXAS
DAIRY SHOW MARCH 4-7
Event at Marshall Next Week Will be
Truly Educational; Means a New
Day for E. Texas farmers
Marshall, Feb. 25—Events on the
program of the East Texas Dairy
Show, to be held at Marshall, March
4-7, under the auspices of the East
Texas Chamber of Commerce, have
been so arranged as to provide some-
thing of interest to occupy every
minute of the visitor’s time. The
gates of Fair Park will be open
from 9 a. m. until 11 p. m. each day,
and admission will be free. Enter-
tainment on the midway will be fur-
nished night and day by a large car-
nival.
All exhibits must be in place by
noon, Monday, March 4, and the show
will be formally opened at 1 p. m.
with an address by Guy A. Blount of
Nacogdoches, chairman of the*.agri-
cultural committee of the East Tex-
as Chamber of Commerce and presi-
dent of the Dairy Show.
Judging contests for 4-H'cfub boys’
teams and vocational agriculture stu-
dents’ teams, as .well as a women’s
butter-scoring contest, will begin
sharply at 1:30 p. m. W. B. Orr, dai-
ry specialist of the Tyler Chamber of
Commerce will be superintendent of
the 4-H Club and Vocational Agri-
culture contests, with J. Lynn Thom-
as, dairy specialist, Extension Ser-1^
vice, and P. H. Walser, dairy spec-
ialist, Cotton Belt Railway, as the
judges. The butter-scoring contest
will be conducted by Miss Sallie F.
Hill, district home demonstration
agent.
Dairy cattle will begin parading
before the judges at 9 a. m. Tuesday,
and judging will continue until all
awards are made. The “following or-
der of breeds will prevail in the
judging: Guernseys, Ayrshires, Hol-
steins and Jerseys. Major Jack
Shelton, president of .the Texas Jer-
sey Cattle Club, will be the official
judge, and will discuss thru a loud
speaker the system of selection by
type of dairy cattle,, explaining his
various placings from the ring-side.
The principal entertainment fea-
ture of the shove will be an East Tex-
as Dairymen’s banquet, »to be held at
6:30 p. m. Tuesday. Dairymen, bus-
iness men, and their wives, are in-
vited to be present. Appropriate en-
tertainment will include official cor-
onation of the grand champion cow
of the show, as queen of East Tex-
as Agriculture.
Ed C. Lasater of Falfurias, owner
of the famouse Falfurias Jerseys and
an exhibitor at the show, will he
among the distinguished speakers on
the program of the banquet.
Dairy Short Course and Cattle Sales
Beginning promptly at 9 a. m.
Wednesday, the judging will be com-
pleted, and the rest of the day will be
devoted to a dairying short course,
under the direction of J. E. Stanford,
agricultural director of the East Tex-
as Chamber of Commerce. Talks and
demonstrations will be given by na-
tionally-known experts.
Cattle sales day is to be designat-
ed as Thursday, March 7, thq closing
day. Beginning at the opening hour,
registered Jersey calves will be dis-
tributed among boys’ and girls’ calf
club members of East Texas coun-
ties. Following this will be an in-
terval for private sales of dairy cat-
tle; and the concluding event, an auc-
tion sale, will begin promptly at 1
p. m.
Owing to the lively demand for
dairy cattle thruout East Texas, it is
expected that a large number of high
class animals will change hands dur-
ing the private sale and the auction
sale. Even on the eve of the show,
the importation of dairy cattle into
East Texas continues brisk, and may
be taken as an indication that prac-
tically all cattle offered for sale at a
reasonable figure will be absorbed by
show visitors.
Thruout the show there will be a
free showing each afternoon of edu-
cational films on dairying; and the
famous dairying exhibit of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C., will be in opera-
tion during the entire four days of
thej exposition. Conducted tours
mottling and afternoon each day thru
the plant of the Texas Milk Products
Company, near Fair Park, will be an-
other popular show feature. Visit-
ors will there see powdered milk man-
ufactured by the spray process. Ex-
hibits of machinery, including milk-
ing machines, separators hnd tract-
ors, will be open for inspection at all
times, and will be demonstrated daily.
There also will be exhibits of feeds
and fertilizers.
The show will be housed in the

RATS START FIRE THA'tf'
DESTROYS OMEN HOME
Fire believed to have been origi-.
nated by rats knawing matches des-
troyed the home and its contents of
Mr. and Mrs. (J. A. Stovall at Omen and
Thursday. Efforts of the Troup fire
department to control the fire were
futile as. the flames had reached an
uncontrollable stage when discovered.
The home was a four-room structure.
DR H. L. TATE
At the ripe old age of more than
87 years, Dr/H. L. Tate died at his
home in Lindale at 4:45 p. m., Tues-
day^ Feb. 26. His death terminated
an illness of several months, which
had been preceded by a period of
gradually declining health, duo to the
weight of more than four sgore years.
In the passing of this distinguish-
ed man, Smith county lost oita of its
greatest and noblest citizens, a man
who, altho small of stature, was en-
dowed with that physical strength
that is characteristic of pioneers. In-
tellectually Dr. Tate was a giant, so
to speak. He had a refined and cul-
tured mind that was always stored
with useful information and that fol-
lowed orderly and logical process of
reasoning. Of his moral and spirit-
ual attributes those are best aware
who came within the circle of his in-
fluence and had the privilege to sit
at his feet, as it were, and learh. It
is the writer’s purpose (if the condi-
tion of his eyes, will permit) to re-
view an article published in this pa-
per some years ago following an Ed-
itorial interview which our Editor
sought of the distinguished Doctor.
Dr. Tate was the father of six chil-
dren, three of whom survive, namely:
Mrs. Frank Boyd, Mrs. Rashe Per-
ryman and Mrs. John Ogburn. Twen-
ty grandchildren and twenty great-
grandchildren survive him.
Dr; Tate was born in Elbert coun-
ty, Georgia, on Sept. 4, 1841. He
came to Texas with his father, the
Honorable Zimri Tate, in 1851. Of
his military, professional and legis-
lative services the promised review
will speak.
His remains were interred in Lin-
dale cemetery Wednesday afternoon
under auspices of the Masons, follow-
ing funeral services conducted at the
Methodist church by his pastor, Rev.
Pittman, assisted by Rev. Smith of
the local Baptist church.
Almost all of the members of Al-
bert Sydney Johnson Camp U. C. V.
were in attendance at his funeral as
were the local chapter Daughters of
the Confederacy. Troop F, 112th Cav-
alry of Tyler also had a detail pres-
ent to pay tribute to the distinguish-
ed dead. Many citizens of Tyler and
other communities thruout a large
area of the state attended the funer-
al.
ASSURANCE IS FELT THAT
TYLER WILL GET HOSPITAL
Assurance is'seen that Tyler is to
have an adequate hospital, to be
erected for Sisters of the Incarnate
Word. That Tyler sentiment is hear-
tily in favor of the enterprise was
brought out' Wednesday night at a
meeting of professional and busi-
ness men of Tyler at the Blackstone
Hotel. At that meeting the hospital
proposition was discussed, and ap-
parently sanctioned by practically all
those in attendance. This paper later
will have more to say of develop-
ments hinged on the general mass
meeting that was held Wednesday.
Prospects hold out promise that Ty-
ler’s dream of an up-to-date, well-
equipped, adequate hospital is soon
to become a reality.

Dr. .Bell of Denver, a minister of
the Episcopal church who enjoys a
nation-wide reputation, will begin a
mission on Sunday, March 3, at
Christ Church in Tyler, and the con-
gregation is extending a most sincere
invitation to the entire citizenship of
tile conununity.to attend the jaegyiceSr
Dr. Bell does not propose~td bririfT
any “new doctrine,” since it is his
ambition only to preach Christ in
the terms of that old, old story that
has charmed, and delighted and con-
verted the world thruout the ages.
However, the eminent minister does
give in many of the great discourses
that have marked his mission servi-
ces, new light and new emphasis to
a. Christian doctrine of Divine Heal-
ing, or healing of our physical ills
thru faith and reliance in and upon
the Christ.
It is. said of Him whom Christen-
dom regards as the Savior of men
that he came and lived and taught,
that man might have life and have it
more abundantly. It is .to this old
doctrine that Dr. Bell will endeavor
to give a practical meaning. Be
sure to hear him. There will be
three services pgr day during, the
eight days that the mission will con-
tinue, as follows: 9:30 a. m.; 4:30
and 7:30 p. m. :

TYLER REPORTS HEAVY
NURSERY STOCK SALES
Heavy shipments of rose plants,
fruit trees and ornamental shrub-
bery are reported during January and
February by local nurserymen, an es-
timated increase of 30 per cent in
acreage this year hardly being able
to care for the increased demand of
Smith county nursery stock.
While the ground is too wet 'for
field work, farmers hope to complete
their shipments.
Approximately 70 carloads of rose
plants have been shipped from this
territory thus far, averaging growers
Officials of the Tyler Chamber of
Commerce, after a most careful study
of actual needs, set the 1929 financial
budget of that organization at $18,-
000. A. F. Sledge was appointed as
chairman of the campaign to secure
subscriptions to the budget. A meet-
ing was held at Hotel Tyler Monday
night, and, following a feast fit for
a king, prepared by that Master Ca-
terer, John Campbell, plans were for-
mulated for the campaign to be com-
pleted on Tuesday.
Ten soliciting committees were as-
signed to the ten divisions into which
Chairman Sledge had divided the
city. At a luncheon at the Blackstone
Tuesday noon when the Chairmen of
the several committees made reports,
it was shown that $12,000 of the bud»
get had been raised in the forenoon.
Some regular and prospective sub-
scribers were reported to he out of
town at the time solicitors called, but
it was the general opinion that these
would respond generously when they
returned. The work .was continued
Tuesday afternoon and final tabula-
tions for the day’s work showed the
goal to be not so very far away. Re-
turns expected by mail and from sub-
scribers whose headquarters or home
offices are out of the city will, it is
believed, enable the organization to
obtain its full budget.

YEAGER TRIAL IS RESET
TO BE HELD MARCH
Desiring lip learn a lesson of Ty-
ler’s methods, as used in her Chamber
of Commerce work, five members of
the Stanton Chamber of Comments
spent Monday evening and Tuesdhy
morning in Tyler. They come from
quite a long distance as we will know
when we see that Stanton, the county
site of Martin county, is on the T. &
P. Railway more than 40G miles west
of here. The community, like many
other progressive communities of the
state and of the South, is desirous of
establishing the dairy business on a
commercial basis to the end that the
habit of all-cotton farming may not
fasten itself permanently upon the
people. So the visitation of the
Stanton delegation was for the pur-
pose of learning of Tyler’s methods
in making preliminary surveys, £L
nancing and organizing the dairy
business. ’ ,
The Stanton party consisted of
Charlie Ehersol, retired merchant; S..
C. Houston, Assistant Cashier FHrst
National Bank of Stanton; A. M.
Turner, Cashier Home National Bank
of Stanton; J. L. Hall, Druggist; H.
Hamilton, farmer and ginner. Mr.
Hamilton will be recalled by many
of our readers as “Horace Hamilton,”
formerly of Troup and Omen, a son
of the late Capt. and Mrs. R. W.
Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton is a broth-
er of Mrs. J. A. Bulloch of this city.
He has been a resident of Stanton
for twenty-four years and has been
very successful in business there.
