As soon as he saw what was

warning to motorists who were
coming on the highway. No

Notice of the collapse was
immediately given and the
road closed and cars advised to
detour. Those coming from
the Denton district can travel
by way of Roanoke and there
get on the Northwest Highway
and come thru to Carrollton or
to Dalits. Busses of course
are coming thru Carrollton and
thence via Grapevine and
Roanoke to Denton. Light
cars that can negotiate the
bridge near “Tater” Tuckers
can go that way to Lewisville.
Most cars that are light are
now traveling that road.

^ , You realize the amount of cash
that is being distributed in
■this part of Dallas county by
^ecan buyers. Anyway we
are going to tell you that one
buyer has already purchased
in excess of 30,000 pounds of
pecans and there are yet many
more to come to market. One
man we heard state that he
had about 4000 pounds to mar-
ket and another had over 1000
pounds. With amounts like
this to come to market yet you
canteadily see that there is
some money to be placed in
circulation. And another

Helen Smith Marries
We have not the definite in-
formation, but we have just
learned that Miss Helen Smith
and Mr. A B. Cashion of Dallas
were recently married. Mr.
Cashion is foreman for a large
garage in Dallas andMissSmith
daughter of A. M. Smith and
sister of Mrs. L F. Blanton or
this city, has been a nurse at
Parkland hospital for a number
of years.
Miss Smith is well known and
well liked and much appreciat-
ed in Canollton where she has
often served the people and the
Methodist congregation es
pecially with her music; she
being a singer as well as a
pianist and a violinist.
We extend congratulations,
and well wishes.

another chapter, this one is
about the stag party we had
there last Wednesday nite.
It was a representative
group which gathered. They
came from this northern por-
tion of Dallas county and the
southern portion of Denton and
someone may have slipped in
from Collin county —we are
not certain on that score.
However if they did there was
good cheer and hospitality for
all and to spare.
This was one of those gath-
erings where conversation held
sway and neighbor got nc
quainted with neighbor, and
the time did not hang heavily
on the hands of anyone.
The weather blew the plans
of Mrs. Hubbard just a little
aw’ry and instead of going
down by the side of the lake
and eating the excellent lunch
and barbecue it was served

Only recently we toldv you
about J. B. Cherry
taken in tow by Ed Caster,
Bud Butler, and W. W. Parker
for burglary jobs. In court a
few days ago in Henry King’s
court he pleaded guilty and
was given two years in the
penitentiary.
These men and others who
are watching for the evil doers
keep close on the heels of the
criminal and get them in time.
R. D. Hunnicut and Lioyd Car-
ter were recently apprehended
for charged criminal acts and
will have to answer to the
courts.
Earnest Delaney, colored
man, who has been working
for Mr. Boatwright on the
Black farm near Renner, was

pleaded guilty. It appears that
he had stolen a shotgun and
some carpenter tools from the '

dent was chosen for the nation
wide radio series, “Public Hero
Number One,” because of its
human interest and the re-
sourceful work of Texas
police, it was said.
Such programs as this illus
trate that the radio can per-
form a real service, both in
encouraging police officers and
enlisting public support of law
enforcement agencies.
Alvin Griesedieck of St. Louis,
vice-president and general
manager of the Falstaff Brew-
ing Corporation, sponsors of
the series, said the program
was adopted because it ex-
presses the firm’s policy of
encouraging law enforcement.
“Brewers of this country
have a serious stake in law
enforcement, especially in
rigid enforcement of the liquor
laws. It is our hope this bit of
recognition for the exemplary
courage shown by these Tex-
ans will encourage police
officers to continue their
splendid work.”
The radio play recounted how
the Lane brothers fell into a
trap planned by Sheriff Smoot
Schmid and set by Chapman
and Deputy Sheriff Peck.
Chapman’s coolness under fire
and willingness to do his duty
were forcefully brought out.
The two deputies, it was re
called, were stationed on Mid-
way road where the bandit
pair had been hijacking couples
parked by the roadside. More
than 30 robberies had been
attributed to them.
Chapman and Peck sat in the
police car for several hours,
hoping the outlaws would pass
and attempt to hold them up.
Late at night a car slopped.
Two men got out, turned flash-
lights on the officers, and
opened fire immediately.
Chapman and Peck returned
their fire.

In the business session fol-
lowing the program it was
voted that the Buckners’ Or-
phans Home box be packed at
the church Monday afternoon.
Also a cash offering be sent,
The monthly sale netted $4 80.
Mrs. Hughes served refresh-
ments to twenty three guests.
This was a very profitable
meeting. The social hour was
filled with lovely fellowship
and good cheer. This meeting
rounded out one years work
and happiness experienced
since the union of the two soci-
eties. How pleasant and good
it is for Gods people to dwell
