At City Hall.
Mrs. Blackwood and one of her
sons, a boy about-fourteen years
old, died the same night. Sun-
day another boy passed away,
making the fourth time death
has crossed the threshold of
this home since the great
scourge of influenza came.
This family consisted of thir-
(97) teen members—Mr. and Mrs.
Blackwood and eleven children.
At one time alt were sick and
not one was strong enough to
minister to another. Nine mem-
bers of the family are left, and
we are told that only one—a
child of two years—is able to be
up. Mr. Blackwood is yet quite
sick, but his condition has shown
improvement recently and pros-
pects for his recovery are now
favorable. Two of the boys are
yet seriously ill and fears are
entertained that they cannot re-
cover. Neighbors have done
their best to care for this sadly

it should be effective in
practice. The machine will be
called the “cyclo-rain,” because
its main working basis acts like
that of a cyclone.
By means of four powerful
chambers, whose total strength
will be 2000 horsepower, the ma-
chine will staid and maintain for
an indefinite number of hours a
storm center by forcing upward
2,000,000 cubic feet of air per
minute with a velocity of one
mile a minute. The air current
made by the machine will be
forced to ascend, thus displacing
the cool air above.
The warm air coming in con-
tact with the cool air will cause
moisture and precipitation. It
is estimated that the rain thus
derived from the machine will
cover one Texas county and that
one machine in every arid county
will be sufficient to cause rain-
fall in plenty.
New Train Schedule-Better
Service.
Notice has been given of a
change in the schedule of the
new T. & P. train, which for
short most of us have already
learned to call “The Plug.” This
train has already proven a great
convenience to the traveling pub-
lic, but the change whch goes
y will make it

Beginning Sunday the train will
leave Honey Grove at 6 :50 a. m.,
and return at 6:20 p. m. This
gives a very satisfactory service
westward, for which we are all
thankful to the powers that be.
MAN AND WIFE
DIED SAME
DAY
Death enacted another double
tragedy near Honey Grove Tues-
day. Mr. Virgil Franklyn and
wife, who resided about four
miles southwest of town, were
sufferers from pneumonia,
which followed attacks of influ-
enza. Tuesday morning Mr.
Franklyn died and neighbors
came to town for a casket in
which to lay his remains away.
While the neighbors were wait-
ing for a casket to be trimmed^

them to bring two caskets, as

Many of us have felt, when a
double portion of illness or other
misfortune came, that fate was
doubly unkind to us, but com-
pared" to what this family has
endured, there is not one who
must not acknowledge that his
afflictions have been light.
A son was born unto Mrs.
[ John Norton, who makes her
home with her mother, near Pet-
|ty, Sunday. Word reaches the
Signal that the young man is a
very fine young fellow and that
he and his mother are getting on
nicely. All of us feel a deep in-
terest in every babe that comes
I to the home of a friend, but in
this young man, whose first look
was upon a country and civiliza-
tion for which his father had
given his life, the hundreds of us
who admired his father feel far
more than a passing interest.
For him there can be no father's
welcome or father’s care, but
there is the rich legacy of a
father's good name and
father’s supreme sacrifice for his
native land.

American Helmet and Gas Mask.
George Luttrell, who is doing
service for his country in France,
has sent home his helmet and
gas mask, these articles of his
soldier paraphernalia being no
longer needed. Several German I
helmets have reached Honey
Grove, but George’s is the first
American head piece to show up.
It appears to be constructed
along more sensible lines than
the German sky piece, being
lighter and of a design that is
more comfortable on the head.
We are told that these helmets
were used by the soldier boys for
many things beside headwear.
They make a fairly good spade,
an excellent stew pan and a
splendid drinking cup or wash
pan. The gas mask has attract-
ed much attention. It is strap-
ped around the neck, and a small
cloth bag acts as a receptacle and
carrier. The mask fits the face
as closely as a glove fits a lady's
hand, excluding all air. A long
tube which leads to a container
in the bag supplies the wearer
with oxygen.
Mrs. William Prickett and her
little babe were buried in the
same grave. Both died Tuesday,
the summons coming to both
within the space of a few hours.
Mrs. Prickett was well known in
town and country, and was a
noble, good woman, who was
universally loved. The babe was
about five days old. Mother and
babe were victims of pneumonia.

lyn were young people and leave

rival at New York from Europe.

hope to have the pleasure very
soon of looking into his face and
shaking his hand, again.
