Mrs. Sarah Simmons, 98.
Last week the Signal-Citizen
made mention of the fact that
Mrs. Sarah Simmons, who re-
sides south of Honey Grove, had
observed her 98th birthday on
the Sunday previous, and we en-
deavored to secure a photograph
of Mrs. Simmons for reproduc-
tion at that time, but did not re-
ceive it in time. Mrs. Simmons
was born in Athens, Ala., Marcn
20, 1834, her maiden name being
Miss Sarah Brooks. She came
to Texas with her family about
30 years ago, and has been living
with her son, Will Simmons, in
the McCraws Chapel community
for a number of years.
Her birthday was appropri-
ately observed at her home, her
two children being present, as
well as a number of grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren.

Confederate Veteran Observes
87th Birthday.
One of Honey Grove’s oldest
citizens, S. F. Garrison, observed
his 87th birthday on Sunday,
and the occasion was made a
most enjoyable one for him by
his wife and children. The anni-

home of Mr. and Mrs. Garrison
in the north part of the city, the
following children being pres-
ent: Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Hardin

Sad Death of Mrs. W. A. Shope.
The death of Mrs. W. A Shope and
her new-bom infant on last Friday
afternoon brpught sadness and sorrow
to her many friends in this city, her
death coming as a shock to all. Mrs.
Shope was well known here, having
made her home in this community for
the greater part of her life. Mrs.
Shope was 34 years of age at her
death, having been born on January
10, 1898.
Mrs. Shope was a woman of excel-
lent Christian character, and her life
had been lived so that when the end
came, even though' unexpected, she
was ready to meet her Savior on the
other shore. She was a wonderful
mother and wife and her passing is
made all the more sad because of the
young family of girls who are made
motherless by her death.
Mrs. Shope is survived by her hus-
band and four daughters, Lois, age 16;
Mildred, age 15; Mavis, age 11, and
Max Ella, age 8. She is also sur-
vived by her mother and sister, who
live at Monkstown, two brothers at
Newcastle, Texas, and one brother at
Newport, Ark., as well as other rela-
tives h^re.
______ _ The l^neral service was held at the
Oakwood cemetery chapel Saturday
occasio , afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, and was
conducted , by her pastor, Rev. T. J.
Watts of ’the Baptist church, follow-
ing which the remains were laid to
rest in Oakwood.

That was the way everyone in
this section felt about the rain
that fell here last Saturday
night and Sunday morning. The
showers came just at the time
when they would do the most
good, clearing off on Sunday as
it did, enabled farm work to pro-
ceed again on Monday morning.
The rain was excellent on oats,
corn and gardens which were
planted during the week. A
harder rain was reported north-
east of here, together with con-
siderable hail.
Euzelian Class.
The Euzelian Class of the Bap-
tist Sunday school met at the
home of Mrs. Boutotte with
twenty-seven members and vis-
itors present. Mrs. Watts gave
an inspiring devotional using as
her the Ye the death and resur-
rection \of Jesus. A good time
was had by all who participated

Sandwiches made of green and
pink bread with butter, a molded

mayonaise, shoe string potatoes
and cheese balls with miniature
candy chickens and pink lemon-
ade made up the very attractive

ried out so well the Easter
scheme. Don’t miss our next

D. W. Cutrell of the Direct
community was in Honey Grove
Tuesday, and stated that his sec-
tion of the country was appar-
ently on a boom, and that many
of the farms and houses which
were abandoned a few years ago
were again filling up. In fact,
he stated that houses were at a
premium there, and that the
school census recently completed
showed an increase this year of
nearly one-third over last year.
Mr. Cutrell said that it was
necessary for the people of that
section, which is on the Lamar
county line, to do most of their
trading in Paris because the
roads in the direction of Honey
Grove were so bad that they
could not be traveled with any
degree of comfort.

It is the duty of every voter
to vote in the July primary and
their privilege to vote for the
man of their choice, and I hope

will honor me with your vote. I

of the county.
