To the People of Fannin County.
Because of the critical condi-
tion of my invalid wife (which
is known in Bonham) I shall not
be able to make as active a cam
paign as I hoped.
When I announced in Decem-
ber there was no other candidate
This week finds us enjoying a little
more sunshine than we were having
last week about this time. The fields
are very wet, which is delaying the
replanting of crops. The crops have
all become infested pretty badly in
some localities with weeds and grass,
which will call for a great deal of ex-
tra work, but a few more days of
sunshine will make things look much
better when the plows and hoes con
begin to move.
Uncle Marion Tarter was in to see
us a few days ago, as he usually does
when he comes to town. He had a
Snyder paper, which had some inter-
esting news in it about the school at
Fluvanna, where Charlie Tarter lives,
which is a short ways from Snyder.
The paper showed the picture of the
fine school building at Fluvanna,
which has recently been completed,
and it looks to be a very fine one.
It also had the pictures of some of
the faculty. Among them was a pic-
ture of Cleo Tarter, who is a son of
Charlie. He is principal of the gram-
mar school there and the writer of
the article compliments him on the
fine work he had done this past year.
He was elected for next term. Cleo
having lived here and attended our
schools, and while here having mani-
fested his desire and attention to se-
curing a good education, makes our
hearts rejoice at his success. We feel
that there are greater things in store
for him yet and if he keeps on he is
sure to find them.
Mrs. Faye Allen of Wichita Falls,
who is a niece of Mrs. Lee Dowlen,
came in Monday and is spending a
few days with Mr. and Mrs. Lee Dow-
len. Mrs. Allen has been attending
Junior College at Wichita, qualifying
herself better for her work. 'She fin-
ished her work in Junior College there
a few days ago.
Mrs. Mary Heston of Fort Worth
was here last Friday and Saturday
visiting her sister, Mrs. Dalph Hill,
and family.
Sunday was very rainy and muddy,
especially in the early part of the
morning, but it cleared away some by
10 o’clock and a fairly good crowd at
tended the baccalaureate service,
which was held at > the High School
auditorium by Rev. Marshall Masters
of Honey Grove, assisted by Rev. J.
F. Blackburn of Windom. Several
special songs were rendered. Pdrs.
John I. Wheeler and Mrs. Leah Dow-
len gave a vocal duet, which was very
impressive and was delivered very
fine. Bro. Masters’ address was en-
joyed by all who heard him.
The Junior Class and their sponsor,
Miss Peggy Kinslow, went to Paris
Lake Tuesday for an outing. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Flora Hill
and Mrs. Dock Nash. All report a
very nice time.
Paul Center, Russell Burras, L. F.
Jacks, J. Howard Connally, Roy Ep-
person, Howard Connaly, Jr., and
Howell Connally attended the last
of the Scoutmasters meetings at Bon-
ham Tuesday night. This school in
Scout work has been in progress for
three weeks, meeting two or three
days out of each week. The last
night consisted of a trip to Halsell’s
pasture, north of Bonham, on the Ra-
venna pike, where the different pa-
trols entered into contests of fire
building. Everyone in the troop
helped to get the wood in readiness
for the test, then each patrol leader
%: will fill his regular appointment here
Sunday. Everyone is cordially invited
to be present. You are also invited, to
to be at Sunday school. There will be
a service rain or shine. Come and be
with us.
Rev. J. F. Blackburn will fill his
regular appointment at McCraws
Chapel Sunday. Everyone invited to
come. Let us make a little extra ef-
fore if the weather will permit to be
there. Sunday school at 10; preach-

visited in Windom a short time Tues-
day.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wood and daugh-
ter, Virginia Dale, spent Sunday in
Windom with Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Smith.
for the County Judgeship.
If I am not qualified I do not Spo^tei^.®en ^Lhis.-patro1 to
want the office, as I should
otherwise fe'el very uncomfort-
able trying to fill it with pride
to myself and satisfaction to
you. During the forty years
that I have practiced law in Bon-
ham I have tried every conceiv-
able kind of case, and in all the
courts from Justice to Supreme.
I have served as special judge of
the County Court and also of
the District Court. But I have
never held an office. For a Week
last December I sat as special
judge of our District Court in
Bonham, trying all cases pre-
sented, having been unanimously
‘elected for that purpose. That
experience led to my being so-
set off the fires. These fires were
built under a fence made of twine
strings, the object being to see which
patrol could burn the strings in two
first. Mr. Jacks was selected as one
of the fire builders and Mr. Collins
of Bonham was the other. The Hound
patrol was the first to burn their
strings, then the Ram patrol, which
was ours, then the Crow patrol came
in for third place. After this contest
each fellow had to get him a green
stick to cook his supper over the
fire. Plenty of bacon, steak, apples,
celery and onions were furnished each
one to put on their stick and Scout-
master McClain showed them how to
arrange them on the stick, and to the
surprise of a lot of us who are not ac
customed to such capers the food was
cooked in very fine shape and had
delightful taste and all seemed to en-
joy it. After supper several other
contests were put on, thus completing
licted to offer for the County the last session of the Scout school. A
Court Judgeship, for wfeich I am
now asking your support.
Mr. Albert McDaniel, a native
of Fannin county, an able law-
yer and teacher, consents to my
publishing his unsolicited letter
to me, as follows:
“Waco, Texas.
“Dear Mr. Steger:—
“I notice your announcement for
County Judge in the Trenton Tribune,
and I am writing to say that I want
to see you elected. I don’t know of a
candidate in all the state that it would
do me as much good to see elected as
you. To fill this judgeship would be
a fitting climax, it seems to me, of
your long and faithful service to the
city and county where you live, and I
sincerely trust you will get it.
“D. A. McDaniel.”
I shall certainly appreciate
your support.

School were hosts last Friday
night to the Senior Class, at the

the evening a most delightful
one for those present, a large

occasion. At the conclusion of
the evening ice cream and cake
were served. Following the par-

A Card.
To the friends and citizens of
Honey Grove and elsewhere who
assisted in capturing .the fiend
that so brutally and thought-
lessly took away the life of my
noble and loving brother, I wish
to thank you for risking your
own lives in bringing this fiend
to justice. I feel that, could my
brother speak to you from the
vale of the unseen, he would say
‘‘thank you, my true and noble
friends; well done.” qVi
Aaron Fortenberry.
A Card.
I make this effort to thank
the people and the law force of
Fannin and Lamar counties for
the steps taken to get the negro
who killed my brother Friday.
My prayer is that God's richest
blessings will rest on every one
who took part.
