HONEY GROVE SIGNAL-CITIZEN, October 9, 1931
This is the most timely question for the cotton grower, as it is important for the
farmer to inform himself regarding the ginning service offered him. We l.iandle
cotton rapidly and you have only a very short time to wait.
We Have the Very Best Machinery
and it is all in the best condition. We make no reservation when we say we believe we
are prepared to offer the ginning public a service as good as the best.
Before you have your next bale ginned, pay us a visit and learn about us and what
we have to offer. Then you will join the large number of satisfied customers who gin
with us every year.
If better ginning were possible, you would get it here.
FOR THE BEST SAMPLE, TURNOUT AND SERVICE GIN WITH
THE NEW INDEPENDENT GIN CO.
WALTER BOMAR, Sole Owner and Manager
Chamber of Commerce Meeting.
‘The Honey Grove Chamber of
Cemmerce held their regular
meeting at the Chamber of Com-
imerce office Monday evening,
President C. H. McCleary pre-
siding. The first thing that
came up for consideration was
the report of the Community
Fair held here September 15-16,
which was made
W. E. Lasseter. Mr. Lasseter
reported that the total expense
of the Fair was $260.03, which
included all bills thus far prer
sented. The total receipts for
the Fair, including the contribu-
tions by local business houses,
the popularity contests, etc.,
were $220.98, which apparently
left a deficit of $39.05. How-
ever, the Chamber of Commerce
has on hand material, including
lumber, ribbons, signs and deco-
rations, valued at approximately
$50, which would show that the
Fair came out on the right side
of the ledger and with a little to
spare. This is an excellent
showing for the first year, and
all members of the Chamber of
Comderce feel proud of the re-
port.
The organization went on rec-
ord expressing their apprecia-
tion of the work of W. E. Las-
seter, secretary and vocational
J agriculture teacher, for his
Gardner-Eversole.
A wedding of unusual interest
was solemnized Sunday morning
at 8:30 o’clock at the Methodist
church when Miss Mary Gard-
ner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.
H. Gardner, became the bride of
Mr. Charles Eversole of Dallas,
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Ever-
by Secretary so^e Honey Grove.
The church was beautifully
decorated in the chosen colors of
yellow and green. A mass ol
green ferns banked the back of
the altar and ferns on the newel
posts lent a graceful touch, while
a large floor basket of yellow
chrysanthemums stood in tne
center back and two floor bas-
kets of the same flowers made
the aisle for the bridal party.
Candalabra with seven burning
tapers stood on each side of the
altar and one burned on the or-
gan console.
At the appointed hour the
ushers, Messrs. Arthur Diedrick
and Herbert Pearson, ushered
Miss Willie Reed Skinner and
Mrs. Mac Eversole to the choir
loft where Mrs. Eversole, dress-
ed in brown, sang “At Dawning’7
and “I Love You Truly,” accom-
panied by Miss Skinner, dressed
in brown, who also played the
Lohengrin processional.
From opposite aisles entered ‘

ing generous applause from the

and Charley McCleary being the

and the count Tuesday showed
the McCleary team was leading
on the opening day.
Several other matters were
brought up for discussion among
the members, the Major Activ-
ities Committee announcing that
they were preparing a program
of work for the Club, which
would likely be along agricul-
tural lines. In observance of
Fire Prevention Week, one or

gard to the importance of this

the Fannin County Fair.
Pr es ident McCleary stated
that the bus lines operating
through Honey Grove has re-
quested a letter from the Cham-
ber of Commerce giving their
approval for the cutting off of
one bus each way each day.
This matter was discussed at
length, but the members decided
to take no action on the matter
either way.
The Trades Day committee re-
ported that due to lack of inter-
est during the busy season of
the year that the Trades Day
would be suspended indefinitely,
and the secretary was instructed
to ascertain the amount of
money necessary to refund mer-
chants money advanced on
trades days, and this will prob-
ably be refunded in full.
Secertary Lasseter made an
interesting talk in regard to the
future work of the organization,
and stated that it was his belief
that a program of work should
be mapped out at once, stating
that never before in the history
of this community was there
such a necessity for action along
agricultural lines. This talk
brought out many ideas that
need serious thought upon the
part of our people. In discussing
the cotton acreage reduction
law, he stated that if the law be-
came effective it was going to
be a problem for the farmers in
thjs section to know what to
plant, and that it would be up to
the business men to co-operate
with them, and help find a mar-
ket for products they can grow.
Bulletins sent out by the gov-
ernment bureaus indicate that
livestock proposition is the best
bet for the farmers next year,
allowing them to market their
feed crops through livestock.
This condition will be given con-
sideration by the Chamber of
Commerce and they will endea-
vor to help agricultural interests
in this section to the best or
their ability. Secretary Lasseter
also quoted government bulletins
to the effect that poultry, eggs
and dairy products are the only
farm products that have shown
an increase in price the past sev-
eral months, and these are hold-
ing their own and in some in-
stances increasing in price.
Mrs. John W. Russell and chil-
dren of Dallas spent last Satur-
day here visiting friends.

Ed New and family left last
the greatest Saturday for Friona, Texas,
where they will make their home
in the future, Mr. New having
traded his farming property
northeast of Honey Grove for
farming property in
county. Friona is about four-
teen miles from the New Mexico
border, Clovis, N. M., being the
closest large town. The many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. New re-
gret to see them leave Honey
wish for them suc-
cess in their new home.

and family, who have been resid-
ing on North Eighth Street, _

similar styles, with accessories
to match, carrying bouquets of
Pennet roses and blue daisies,
and Sam Gardner, brother of the
bride, and Philip Gunn Griffith
of Dallas as groomsmen.
Rev. F. B. Wheeler entered
from the study ,as did also the
groom and his best man, Mac
Eversole, brother of the groom.
The maid of honor, Miss Mar-
garet Wood, of Commerce was
dressed in the shades of brown
and carried the bouquet the
same as the maids.
The bride entered alone in a
lovely gown of brown- velvet un-
trimmed and made ankle length.
She wore a velvet hat and suede
shoes to harmonize. Her only
adornment was a gold necklaee
and she carried her mother's
wedding handkerchief.. She car-
ried a shower bouquet of Pennet
rosebuds tied with yellow ribbon.
The ring ceremony was used
while “To a Wild Rose” was
softly played during the cere-
m 0 n y. Mendelssohn’s reces-
sional was used.
The bridal pair left imme-
diately for Dallas, where they
will make their home.. The
bride’s going away suit was a
brown coat suit with lapin coat
and wool lace suit with brown
accessories.
Many beautiful gifts and pre-
nuptial parties indicated the es-
teem in which this popular
young couple were held by
friends.
The bride is one of Honey
Grove’s fairest and most attrac-
tive young ladies, known and
loved by all for her sunny, dispo-
sition and her charming person-
ality. She was reared in this
city, educated in the Honey
Grove High School, later attend-
ing Paris Junior College and the
College of Industrial Arts at
Denton, majoring in public
speaking and journalism. Mrs.
Eversole has the best wishes of
friends here and elsewhere for
her future happiness.
Mr. Eversole was also reared
in Honey Grove, and no more es-
teemed and respected young man
ever went from this city to enter
the business world elsewhere.
Charles is the personification of
happiness and good cheer, and
his disposition, his manliness
and his sterling qualities have
made his acquaintanceship wide-
spread. Following his gradua-
tion from the Honey Grove High
School, Charles entered the
State University, spending two
years there, during which time
he was also an employe of the
State Fire Insurance Depart-
ment. Several months ago he
was offered a position with one
of the large insurance companies
in Dallas, since which time he
has been making his home there,
and where he has been most suc-
cessful in his chosen career.

the hosts of friends of both Mr.
and Mrs. Eversole in wishing for
Palmer them a long and happy life, filled
with all the pleasures that 'health
and prosperity can give to them.

Shades of Davy Crockett.
Is history repeating itself T
If it is not, it is supposed to be,
and Mrs. W. E. Bratton, who re-
sides on East Market street, is
of the belief that it is. Honey-
Grove is reputed to have been
named by the great statesman
and soldier, Davy Crockett, while
on his way to the Alamo to fight,
the battle for Texas, when he
discovered a huge bee-tree in the:
grove just northwest of the
square, and “Honey Grove” it
has been since his memorial vis-
it. And now comes news of an-
other bee-tree in the city, and
this is said to be located at the
home of Mrs. Bratton, just a few
blocks east of the square. Dur-
ing the past summer Mrs. Brat-
ton noticed swarms of honey-
bees entering the tree every day,
and finally becoming interested,
took special notice of the un-
usual number of bees about the
tree, until she is thoroughly con-
vinced that the entire tree Is
filled with honey. She does not
plan to cut the tree down right
now, but expects to a little later
on, and harvest the large crop of
honey which she feels has been
deposited there.
Fire Prevention Week Observed
in Schools.
This is Fire Prevention Week
in Texas, and the public schools
of the state are doing much to
make the week one of real sig-
nificance. Supt. J. D. Howell of
the Honey Grove Schools stated
Tuesday that the local schools
are observing the week in every
way suggested by the State Fire
Insurance Department, fire pre-
vention being taught in every
department of the school in va-
rious manners. By this observ-
ance by the schools, the city of
Honey Grove is allowed a three
per cent discount on the fire in-
surance key rate, which is quite
a saving to our citizenship. The
school and the teachers are to be
commended because of their in-
terest in this matter, as it is nor
required by the department of
education as a part of the cur-
riculum.
In speaking further of school
matters, Supt. J. D. Howell
stated Tuesday that the Paris
Coca Cola Co., had generously-
agreed to furnish book covers
for the Honey Grove Public-
Schools for the next school term,
commencing in January. ‘This
will be a saving to the schools;
and to the student body of some- ■
thing like fifty or sixty dollars
