AND ZAC SMITH CAME HERE

October 12, Wednesday, the
Columbus discovered America, was
65 years since J. W. Peeler and Zac
Smith landed in Bonham on the
first train that came here over the
transcontinental division of the Tex-
as & Pacific railway.
Mr. Peeler was from the sand hills
of Georgia near Chicamauga bat-
tlefield, where the goober grabbers
live. Mr. Smith was from the
“Banks of the Wabash, far away”
in Indiana. They met, by chance, in
Sherman and settled what differ-
ences there might have been be-
tween them, anent the Civil War,
and then came on to this berg on
that famous first train. Here they
anchored and made port.
Mr. Peeler went into the drug bu-
siness, and Mr. Smuh worker! in a
grocery store, both of them were
mere boys with very limited capital,
if any. They have passed on, but
remained friends until the end and
no doubt are friends Over There.
Mr. Veal of Gober is going to hold Each acquired a competency here.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Stressing the importance of con-
tinued vigilance on the fire preven-
tion front, Marvin Hall, fire insur-
ance commissioner, today urged
State-wide observance of the annual
Fire Prevention Week scheduled
for October 9 to 15.
‘‘Fire uncontrolled is one of the
most serious problems that con-
fronts us today,” Hall said. “Each
year its heavy toll in life and pro-
perty is a black mark on the proud j
name of Texas. Only by constant
and relentless vigilance of the part j
of every Texas citizen can we hope t
to reduce, and finally to eliminate
the costly destruction of this j
economic enemy number one.
“Active participation in Fire Pre-
vention Week by every Texas citi-
zen will go far toward curbing
loses have a direct bearing upon the
fire insurance rates, there are other
practical benefits accuring from
effective fire prevention.
“Fire Prevention Week is de-
signed for every Texan interested in
performing a distinct service to his
State, to his community, and to him- j
self” Hall said. “If we |
remember that the fire that \
never starts will never get I
out of control, and keep that
thought before us each day of every
year, then we will rightfully say
that the practice of fire prevention
pays big dividends in human lives
and happiness.”
Misses Betsy Russell and Sue
Spivy were in Bonham during the
latter part of the week to visit rel-
atives. They are attending the Uni-
versity of Texas.
