EONHI EXES TO ORGANIZE;
BIG ORGANIZATION WANTED I
of the ex-students of Bonham schools.
Fifteen responded to the call. In
the first place it was the first of the
month. In the second place a number
did not get the word, and others who
were notified did not attend, but a
lot of them did—a very good neuclus.
Tonight, (Thursday) another
meeting is being held, and in the
meantime all those there and others
have been working on the job to get
more of the “old grads” out to the
meeting.
There is a great deal to recom-
mend an ex-students association.
The fellowship of years agone. The
buildings, the grounds, the ball park,
the football field—everything that
had anything to do with school life
comes up like a dream of the yester-
days to command our attention, if
we happen to be one of the members
of the classes graduated from this
school.
The free school system has not
been going all the time in Bonham.
It is only about forty-six years or so
old. The late J. M. Terry, who
founded The Favorite as a weekly
paper, and who ran a Daily Favor-
ite afterwards, was one of
strongest proponents for the city
free schools. Capitalists and others
fought him to the finish over the idea,
but in the end the free school idea
prevailed.
The idea of some of those who op-
posed the free school system for Bon-
ham was “we will have to educate
the poor whites and the niggers, if
we have a free school.” That is
true, and the best evidence of that
is those people called by those names
are in the schools, and who can deny
that they have been more useful men
and women by having acquired an
education.
The Herald is in favor of the ex-
students association. It is an or-
ganization worth while. It is com-
forting to those in the school to know
that those who have gone before
them are still strong for the old
school—it heartens them to at least
try to equal the work of the old
grads, and, if possible beat it.
If you are a member of any grad-
uating class of the school, be sure to
enroll with your class under the ban-
ner of the exes, in order that you
may be able, as a body to help the
school now, in an organized manner.
The icall is to you and you and you,
if you are a graduate of Bonhi. Don’t
fail to hear it, and if you do not at-
tend the meeting Thursday night,
join the association, and put your
shoulder to the wheel, with the above
objects in view.
to the president of the T. & P. rail-
way, who spoke at the Rotary lunch-
eon, Wednesday. For the first eight
months of this year the railroads
lacked a million dollars a day meet-
ing their fixed charges. One-third
of the railroads are now in the hands
of the courts.
Railroad service today is the finest
it has ever been with reduced pas-
senger and freight schedules, and im-
proved equipment. These improve-
ments have been made by great in-
vestments. The United States has
the lowest cost of railroad transpor-
tation of any country except Japan
where labor is cheap.
Mi. Porter attributed the present
railroad dilemma to three factors_
economic conditions, high wages, and
regulations. Wages at present are
the highest ever paid, passenger en-
gineers receiving on an average $325
per month. He said regulations are
mostly responsible, still using laws
enacted when railroads held an al-
most monopoly on transportation.
Today other carriers do not bear the
same restrictions as the railroads,
thus making unfair competition. For
the the railroads to continue under pri-
vate management it will be necessary
to revise legislation.
Dr. John Wm. Spies, Rotarian from
Bombay, India, told of the endeavors
of the club at that place.
Ed McMahon of Dallas was a guest.
He told of some of the experiences of
Bob Storey, world traveler, who will
be in Bonham at the First Christian
Church, November 10, and urged all
to hear him.
Mrs. Marston announced a candy
sale for the kindergarten, Saturday.
President Dale Wolford announced
that there are a number of under-
privileged children attending school.
The matter will be discussed at a
directors meeting and brought up at
the next meeting.
S. L. Wright of Texarkana 'and
Judge S’pies were guests.

JAMBOREE MONDAY NIGHT

others staged a chili supper, general I Tuesday night. He was born on Oc-
HALLOWE’EN IS OBSERVED
IN SUBDUED TONES HERE
Monday night was Hallowe’en—so
called. Just why has been lost in the
misty past, as nowadays it might be
better named hello’e’en. .
But the halloweeners are getting
better behaved—maybe they are not
as mean as their pas and grandpas
were, so the onus is more or less on
some of the older ones, after all!
One set of embryo brigands and
vandals threw a rock at the front
door of a 'dwelling, it is reported—
and hit the door. OtHer evidences of
their hoodlumism, or that of others
of their ilk, might be seen around
Tuesday, but so far as heard from,
nothing was found to be damaged, as
has been the case in the past, so
things are getting better.
One lady’s home on West Fifth
street was visited by a bunch of ama-
teur property damagers, who essayed
in each instance, to stand the lawn
swing on its head. The lady of the
house was too smai't for them. She
was up and about, and as each bunch
of swing-turners hove in sight, she
did, too, and they vamoosed, even as
the Arab who tuck up his tent and
went.
Every year, in every way, Hallo-
we’en gets better. Some of these
days, or rather nights, the busy
housewife and her spouse may lay
them down to pleasant dreams, fully
convinced that their property will be
safe and sound, and right side up
with care, when the sun rises on the
morning of November 1.
BIRTHDAY DINNER
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Price were
honored by a birthday dinner S*unda>

Mr. and Mrs. Claude Beck and chil-
dren, Fred, Bill and Betty Jane, Mr.

Jewel Hall all of Westminster, J. W.
Dorothy, David, Roger, Glenn, Louist,
and Ross Price, Miss Ethel Moore,
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Price and daugn.
ter, Narca Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Loyd
Walters and children. Betty Jean and
Mary Sue. Several nice gifts were
received and a splendid time was re-
ported by all.***
BARBERS HONOR “BRACK’
The barber shops of the city closed
out of respect to J. B. Adams at 2:30
Tuesday, and many of the craft at-
tended his funeral. Every pallbear-
er was a barber.
The Band Club realized $56.00
from Hallowe’en carnival for which
they thank the public. Grateful to
the following merchants who helped
maike the carnival a success: W. L.
Pratt Grocery for coffee; W. E.
Newton Grocery, crackers and cat-
sup; Mielver Bros, dishes; Raleigh
Abernathy, chairs; Texas Power and
Light Co., Community Natural Gas
Co., City Water Commission, Ander-
son Plumbing Co., and various ones
for reduction in prices, Bonham Daily
Favorite and Bonham Herald, pub-
licity. Thanks to everyone who con-
tributed in any way.
Ed White, Bonham boy, is going
far in this golf game literally. He
is going to Mexico City to play. The
young man has many golfists scalps
hanging to his belt, and he is sure to
annex some more of them in the land
of the Aztecs.
Mrs. Joe Babb of Denton was a re-
cent visitor in Bonham, the guest of
her parents, Judge and Mrs. J. E.
Spies.
hullabaloo and bingo party at the
building just south of the Alexander
Monday night. This house belongs
to Dave Johnson, colored, who was
kind enough to let the band and its
friends have it for the night.
And, “there was a sound of revel-
ry by night.” Dr. Jack Saunders
was chief barker for the balloon sales
He’d ask you if you had a nickel, and
if you were that fortunate, he would
“take it off of you,” and present
you with a balloon, or something,
which you could either keep or bust,
preferably the latter, for then he
could sell you another one.
Then there was the bingo man in
the person of Richard Lipscomb,
whose “25 under G” could be heard
for many a block, as those playing
the game placed a grain of corn on
G, saying they had a 23 under G.
He was reasonable in his price—one
penny.
Mrs. Hiram Farmer, , alias Kate
Smith, alias The Gypsy Maiden, was
busy telling miss fortunes, and those
of the masculine gender, as well. She
saw you first, as you came in the
front door.
Then there was Mrs. Barnette Mc-
Anally, who was dressed like a Gypsy
and did she sell the popcorn! She
sold out, and there is many a man in
business, everyday, who can’t sell
anything, much less sell everything.
There were other schemes to make
money for the fund with which to
buy uniforms for the band, and get
the band some new music, and it is
hoped they got enough for all pur-
poses.
It was a highly enjoyable affair,
and all those who went were glad
they were there, and the next time
the band stages one of these carnivals
there will be a bigger crowd than the
last one, for those there will tell a
whole lot of people, and that is one
form of advertising—word of mouth.
(Newspaper advertising is better, be-
cause it is down in black and white'—
no hearsay about it!)

NEWSPAPER MAN TURNS
TO FIRE INSURANCE FIELD
H. A. McDougal, late of the Daily
Favorite, has associated himself with
M. A. Taylor in the insurance busi-
ness. The Herald wishes the new
firm much success .in the venture. H.
A. is an energetic sort of man, and
if hustling will get the business, he’s
in for a lot of it.
Sam Gardner, justice of the peace
and long-time citizen of Honey Grove
was a Bonham visitor, Tuesday. Mr.
Gardner made his home in Bonham
for many years, where he practiced
law. He is the same jovial man he
was then, and he resembles Abraham
Lincoln in one respect, if far differ-
ent from him politically. Sam loves
a good story and can tell a good one
himself. So could Abe, they do say.
Mrs. R. C. Hunt of Fort Smith,
Arkansas, is here as the guest of her
daughter, Miss Anne Hunt.
E. A. McMahon of Dallas was in
Bonham on business, Monday.
tober 7, 1878, in Bonham. His
father, W. W. Doggett, ran a store
here before going to Ravenna to re-
side.
Mr. Doggett is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Corzine Doggett
and one son, Weldon Doggett, one
brother, John Doggett of Whitesboro
and three sisters as follows: Mrs.
Charles Cowan. Bonham; Mrs, Hor-
ace Horton, Ravenna; Mrs. Anna
Kerfoot, Sulphur Springs, Arkansas.
There are a number of other rela-
tives, more distantly related.
For many years Mr. Doggett was
in business in Ravenna. He was a
man who attended to his own affairs,
and he was well liked. Although he
removed with his parents to Ravenna
when quite a small boy, he was often
seen on the streets of Bonham, when
he had business here, and he was
quite well known to Bonham’s people
and had many friends in this city.
Funeral services were hekl for Mr.
Doggett at 4 p. m. Wednesday after-
noon with burial at Ravenna. The
Rev. W. W. Carlton was in charge
of the service.
Arrangements were under the di-
rection of Wise Funeral Home.
The pallbearers were John Pal-
more, Earl Kincaid, Tom H. Eller,
Jesse W. Moncrief, J. H. Hooper and
Omar Hodges.
J. B. Adams
The funeral of John Brakenridge
Adams was held from the Church of
Christ at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. A
large number of the friends of Mr.
Adams attended. The minister, J.
Porter Wilhite, was in charge of the
service at the church and at the
grave.
The following friends were the
pallbearers: Will Adamson, Brant
Shiith, E. O. Carson, Cary Barker,
Frank Blagg and Erwin Smith.
BONHI MEETS DALLAS
TEAM HERE, FRIDAY
Bonham high school football team
meets the strong Forest High team
of Dallas on the local gridiron Fri-
day night. It would be a fine thing
to tie this aggregation, and it would
be a finer thing, if Bonhi could beat
the Dallasites.
One thing that will help Bonhi is
a big crowd, all rooting for the home
team. It can be done, and many a
game of football has been won from
the sidelines, and won honestly at
that.
These boys in the Bonham schools
are our children. They, or most of
them, were born here, and it is due
them, that a strong aggregation get
behind them, in their endeavor to
beat the visitors. It can be done.
Just because Forest High is in a cit>
of 350,000 inhabitants is no sign
some team cannot beat the big town
boys. One of the greatest generals
who ever lived, came from a little
island, Corsica, unknown and unsung
for years, but the Little Corsican had
what it takes, and when the time
came he let them have both barrels.
Some of the greatest basball pitch-
ers we have ever had—look them
over, are from the hick towns. In
many respects the greatest baseball
player of all time, Ty Cobb, was a
small town Georgia boy. He has
many prototypes in the rural dis-
tricts, and we may have the team that
has what it takes to beat this Dallas
team. Let’s go into the fracas with
a determination to win. Anything
else means defeat.
“Up guards and at ’em. Treat ’em
rough, ends.” Be where they ain’r,
you fellows who run with the ball.
Give ’em everything you got, line,
and then some! Get all wool gath-
ering out of you, quarterback, ana
let ’em have your keenest and most
fooling plays.
GENERAL ELECTION
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8
In this issue you will find a sample
ballot for the general election to be
held Tuesday, November 8. Besides
the candidates for state, county and
precinct offices there is one proposed
amendment to be voted for or
against. It is in regard to the oath
by officers and in its revised form
if adopted will eliminate the oath
relative to having taken part in a
duel.
TWO FIRES WEDNESDAY
The fire department answered
an alarm from South Fourth street
Wednesday afternoon. No damage.
Fire soon extinguished. It was at
the home of A. S. Stevens.
Hardly had the echo of the siren
died out, when another alarm sent
the department to Duncan School. It
was.a grass fire—no damage.
Tom Gray of Dodd City was
Bonham visitor, Wednesday.
