south of town, died Tuesday
night. Deceased had been ill
more than a year, and was a
great sufferer, though a patient
one, enduring all with true
Christian fortitude. Burial was

About Street Lights.
Sometimes street lights, like
other lights, burn out. It is the
desire of the City to keep these
lights burning. If a street light
near your residence is not burn-
ing, please phone the Texas
Power & Light Company, or the
City Hall, at once, and attention
will be promptly given.
J. F. Black, Mayor.

is in the bank, awaiting opera-
tions of the gas company.
Undoubtedly this was the fin-
est exhibition of team work ever
witnessed in Honey Grove. Colo-
nel Williamson, his captains,
lieutenants and corporals worked
by day and planned by night.
Honey Grove was raked as with
a comb and no householder or
landlord escaped. If one vprifer
failed with a certain pi®^,
counsel was taken, and another
worker was sent, And the peo-
ple responded splendidly. Some
were a little slow, but when they
learned what gas meant for Hon-
ey Grove they fell in and helped
give the wheels of progress a
turn.
Obtaining naturaj. gas means
another step forward for Honey
Grove. It means cheaper fuel
and greater convenience, less
drudgery and more luxury. It
means that Honey Grove people
now have everything in the way
of convenience and comfort that
any city has, and that those who
may desire to make their home
with us will find Honey Grove
uptodate in every way.
To the colonel, captains, cor-
porals, city officials, several
Bonham friends, and to all who
gave assistance in this progres-
sive movement the town owes a
big vote of thanks and undying
appreciation. The workers will
have a big feed at the Roberts
House next Monday night, on
which occasion they will recount
how the battle was won, and per-
haps talk over matters of inter-
est to the town.
Below we give the names add-
ed after last week’s honor roll
was printed. It is the sincere
desire of the workers and the
papers that the name of every
person who signed appear on the
roll, but in handling a list of so
many names it is almost impos-
sible to avoid errors, so if there
are omissions, we beg the par-
don of those omitted and assure
them that such was not inten-
tional :
M. G. Littlefair, F. R. Roddy, Mrs.
was reared in the Dial com-
munity. Deceased was a true
Christian woman and a very ac-
tive member of the Baptist
church. ^ She was a noble, good
woman, kind and gracious, and
always anxious to give aid to
those in distress. She was loved
by all who knew her for her
many noble qualities of heart
and mind. Surviving this splen-
did woman are her husband,
four children, mother and other
relatives. To these afflicted
ones the Signal joins hundreds
ol friends in extending sym-
pathy.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon and was attended by a
very large crowd. Rev. S. * S.
to Octo- Crain paid a high tribute to the
splendid woman who has passed
on and spoke words of comfort
to the broken-hearted loved
ones. Burial was at Broyles
cemetery, near Dial. Mrs. Jack-
son will be keenly missed where

According to Signal’s count
391 names were on the books
Tuesday night. In printing the
roll the endeavor has been to
avoid duplications. Some have
subscribed for gas to be used in
more than one place, but their
names appear only once. Where
landlord and tenant jointly sign-
ed, only the name of the tenant
is printed; this to avoid duplica-
tion.
The gas company officials
have been notified, and they,
perhaps, have ordered material
already. The representativss of
the company who were here last
week said it would take'about
six weeks to get material here,!
and about six weeks to pipe the
town. If this is done Honey

Poll Tax Time.
Poll tax receipts are being is-
sued at the court house and a
campaign to “do your poll tax
shopping early” is needed.
As everybody knows, a poll
tax or exemption is necessary in
order that the citizen may exer-
cise the right of franchise.
Next year is election year. The
voters will be called on to ap-
prove or reject many candidates,
from the state house at Austin,
down to the precincts.
It has been many years since
the people of the state faced
such momentous issues as those
which have been thrust upon
them by recent events. The
lines of battle are being sharply
drawn and a knock-down and
drag-out fight is in prospect in
the gubernatorial race.
County officials, precinct of-
ficials, legislators and congress-
men are to be chosen. If ever »
voter got his “money’s worth”
from a poll tax, he should get it
next year.
