FORMER HONEY GROVEITE
DIED AT PARIS SUNDAY
Mr. L. Dannenman, who for
many years was a resident of
Honey Grove, died Sunday morn
ing at his home in Paris. Mr.
Dannenman was ill about three
weeks, his affliction being a
series of carbuncles, which ex-
tended from the base of the
brain to the back.
Deceased was about 63 years
old, and was a native of Natchez,
Miss. From the city of his na-
tivity he moved to Honey Grove
and spent several years, work-
ing at his trade of saddlery and
harness making. In 1893 he
movedto Paris and engaged in
the saddlery and harness busi-
ness* continuing his residence
there until he passed away.
While residing in Honey Grove
Mr. Dannenman married Miss
Sallie Gwaltney, who, with two
daughters survives him.
Mr. Dannenman was a good
man and was well liked wherever
his acquaintance e x t e n d ed.
Many friends in Honey Grove
learned with sorrow of his pass-
ing. The funeral was held Mon-
day at t h ^ First Christian
church of Paris, burial following
at the Paris cemetery. Several
Honey Grove relatives attended
the funeral.
Orphan’s Home at Hudsonville.
Many of our people donot know
there is an orphan’s home in
Fannin county, but there is and
it is doing a good work. At
Hudsonville, which was once
known by the unclassical name
of “Stool Grub,” there is a home
for orphans. This home owns
130 acres of land, on which the
children who are large enough
WHEN A NEGRO WOMAN
WAS HUNG AT BONHAM
L. C. Penwell, one of the old-
est residents of Bonham and
Fannin county, in a contribution
to the Bonham Favorite on “Old
Times,” tells of the hanging ofva
negro woman at Bonham in the
— —-----early sixties. So far as we know
work and in this way it is large- this was the only execution of a
ly self-supporting. There is a
school in connection with the
home, and the children are given
a common school education and
taught to work. The home was
established 22 years ago. All
told it has cared for 132 child-
ren. Of these 16 have married
and have homes of their own, 1
was killed in France, 1 is in the
naval service, 48 have been
placed in good homes and 46 are
now in the home.

About Dumping Trash.
The County Commissioner
has called our attention to the
fact that some people are haul-
ing tin cans and other trash out
of town and dumping it in the
ditches on the roadside. This is
a positive violation of the law,
and must be stopped. There are
many ditches in fields the farm-
ers would be glad to have the
trash dumped into, but it must
not be thrown into the ditches
on the roadside, as it clogs up
ditches and ruins roads.

woman in the history of our
county. Concluding a write-up
of old times, Mr. Penwell says
.“I can’t leave this side of the street
without briefly mentioning the hang-
ing of Caroline Pace. Perhaps I am
the only living witness. Near where
Sam Dulaney now lives was consid-
erable timber on a branch that emp-
tied into Powder Creek. Right here
and near the street on a large oak
tree the hanging bee was pulled off.
Together with some other children
through idle curiosity I witnessed the
hanging. . This negro, a house ser-
vant of Uncle Alf Pace, had ma-
liciously and premeditatedly murder-
ed little Pikey Pace, the youngest
child at that time of Uncle Alf. A
wagon in which the victim was riding
was driven under the tree, a rope
around her neck was tied to a limb
and she was left suspended between
heaven and earth. As the negro
swung back and forth with her limbs
bound around with rope and a white
hood pulled down over her head she
was certainly a gruesome sight and
one that has never been erased from
my memory. Pikey was one of my
little playmates. We were together
just about every day. Though but a
small child myself, I was very per-
ceptibly affected. In fact, his un-
timely and cruel death cast a heavy
dark shadow over the whole town.”

Dr. Cook Sues Paper for Million
Damage on Libel Allegation.
Asking for judgment against
the Fort Worth Press Company
for $1,000,000 damages for the
publication of what he terms a
“slanderous” and “libelous” ar-
ticle, Dr. Frederick A. Cook,
Arctic explorer and oil operator,
filed suit Thursday noon in the
Sixty-seventh District Court.
It is stated in the petition
;hat Dr. Cook is a “good, true,
lonest and respectable citizen,”
that “since birth he has conduct-
ed himself in an honorable way,”
and that he is “held in high es-
t e e m and repute.” Despite
these facts, the pleadings assert,
the Press published the article
on February 10 to maliciously
injure and ruin him financially
and to “injure his good name,
reputation and standing.” It is
also stated that the article was
printed through the publica-
tion’s desire to be sensational.
What is purported to be a
copy of the article is included in
the petition. It(has the follow-
ing heading:
“Doc Cook, Oil Fraud Artist,
Quits Paying Dividends.”
The petition states that the
article referred to Cook as “a
promoter of gush and hot air,
promoter of falsehoods and mis-
representations, promoter o f
trickery and fraud,” who “has
dug his financial grave and is
about to be laid away in it and
with him will be laid away the
savings for which tens of thous-
ands of people all over the
United States toiled with honest
hands and hearts.”
Another paragraph in the ar-
ticle as published referred to the
Arctic explorer as “the faker
and the flim-flammer,” the peti-
tion continues.
The Cow, the Sow, the Mdre
and the Hen.
People who are housed up on
account of bad weather and
hedged in by bad roads are
prone to take on that blue feel-
ing. It is during such times
that we paraphrase Mr. Coue’s
slogan and make it read, “day
by day, in every way, we are
getting poorer and poorer.” It
wasn’t so with J. H. Crofford, a
well known farmer of the White
Rock community. One night of
last week came very near mak-
ing him rich. In the early morn-
ing he went out to see what had
happened and found that all
things had worked together for
his good. The first to greet him
was the family Jersey cow. The
faithful animal, happy in the
joys of motherhood, mooed an
introduction to two fine heifer
calves. While Mr. Crofford was
admiring the new bovines the
family mare whinneyed and call-
ed attention to a fine new colt of
the feminine persuasion. While
he was rejoicing over the in-
crease of his equine family he
leard a noise in the swinery
and lo, ten fine new pigs were
charging the fount of lacteal
sustenance. About this time
old Biddie, one of the best fam-
ily hens, attracted Mr. Crof-
ford’s attention, and, going to
;he nest, he found that Biddie
had hatched out a chicken with
three legs. Truly it was a case
of riches in a night and joy in
the morning.
MISS BARBARA LA MARR
INVITED TO HONEY GROVE
Miss Barbara La Marr, the
actress who spent ten days in
Dallas, was invited to Honey
Grove, and acknowledged with
thanks the invitation and deep
regrets that she could not come.
A picture in which Miss La Marr
stars was presented at the Topic
Monday and Tuesday, and the
popular star was invited by the
Topic manager to come to Honey
Grove for a visit while her pic-
ture was being shown. The
popular actress sent a telegram
of thanks for the invitation and
expressed deep regret that she
could not come at this time, as
she was soon to leave for San
Antonio. She expressed the
hope, however, that it would be
possible for her to visit our little
city some time in the near fu-
ture.

The penitentiary system ap-
pears to be the old man of the
sea to the state. For thirty
years every session of the Legis-
lature has tried to reform the
penitentiary system, and yet the
state finds it necessary to appro-
priate about a million dollars a
year to meet the losses of the
penitentiaries. The state owns
many farms and much equip-
ment, and has several hundred
convicts at work, but enough
can not be made to meet ex-
penses. The farms are in the
lowlands and nearly every year
growing crops are ruined by
overflows. The calculation has
been made showing the state
could sell its farms, board all
convicts at good hotels, and save
money.

Per Capita for Schools Raised
to $13.00.
Austin, Feb. 19.—Funds avail-
able under the emergency school
appropriation passed last week
oy the Legislature and signed by
Governor Neff, were apportion-
ed today by the state board of
education. The apportionment
amounted to $3 per capita, a
balance in the available school
fund being utilized to make the
apportionment that amount.
This brings the apportionment
for the year to $13, according to
members. Superintendent Marrs
said certificates of apportion-
ment will be issued immediately.

Many Fine Cows Bought.
At the meeting of the Fannin
County Pure Bred Livestock
Association at Bonham last Sat-
urday members of the Associa-
tion gave orders for 27 pure
bred cows of the dairy type.
These cows are to be shipped in
soon. Another meeting of the
Association will be held Satur-
day, when more orders for cows
of this type will doubtless be
given. The people of Fannin
county are learning that the
good cow is a paying investment.

is ashamed of itself, but under
the circumstances it

A Great Benefactor Dead.
Roentgen is dead.
Millions of people have had
good cause to rise up and call
this name blessed, for William
C. Roentgen was the owner of
the brain which saw what the
X-ray might be to suffering hu-
manity. Hertz and Lenard had
already shown that the familiar
cathode ray * could penetrate
metals and other opaque sub-
stances; it remained for Roent-
gen to make use of the discov-
ery to see the shadow thrown
by a bone upon a fluorescent
screen, when illuminated by
X-rays.
Roentgenology has made long
strides since that day, thirty
years ago, when his discovery
was first flashed to a startled
and incredulous world. Today
no hospital with any pretensions
is without an X-ray apparatus;
no surgeon operates without an
X-ray picture to guide him if it
is possible to make one.
Roentgen stands among the
great benefactors of humanity.
He saved countless lives and
kept from unnecessary torture
countless more. It is a source
of great pleasure to all who use,
or have benefited by his dis-
covery, that he lived to a ripe
old age, and to see his work uni-
