TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR,
Baccalaureate Sermon
Heard by Many Sunday
The first event of the closing exer-
cises of Celina High School took place
at 11 o'clock Sunday morning when the
Baccalaureate sermon was preached
by Rev. W. J. Epting, pastor of the
First Baptist Church.
When the class of twenty-three ap-
peared in cap and gown the large
building was packed to capacity.
Immediately following the entrance
of the class prayer was offered by Rev.
J A. Phipps, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church. This was fol-
lowed by a feW appropriate remarks
by Superintendent Dorrough, after
which principal Charlie Jackson rend-
ered a vocal solo. The scripture read-
ing was by Rev. Wesley V. Hite, pas-
tor of the First Methodist Church.
Then came the sermon by Bro. Epting
which was a very creditable effort.
Bro. Epting is an earnest man and his
remarks on any subject are full of in-
terest to his hearers. We do not be-
lieve the occasion suffered in the least
by having the sermon by home talent.
The benediction ended this first ser-
vice prtaining to an event that is al-
ways of great importance to a com-
munity and especially to the parents
of those receiving their diplomas.
Those who have not put a child through
eleven years of schooling do not real-
ize its significance nor feel the thrill
that the fond parents experience.
The next and final exercise will take
place at the school auditorium Friday
night when the class address will be
delivered by Hon. Wallace Huston of
McKinney, along with a brief program.

CELINA DEFEATS VAN ALSTYNE
Mr. I. E. Reeves, a prominent Mc-
Kinney business man, who owns farm
lands in this community, came over on
the jitney Monday to look the situa-
tion over after the continued rains.
.Seeing that the work was behind he
sailed in to pull the ox out of the
ditch by making himself a hand. He
ate dinner at the hotel and sailed in to
pull the crop out of the weeds.
About 4 o’clock he began to exper-
ence a decided lankness in the vicin-
;y of the bread basket which would
not down and became so insistent that
he repaired to the cafe and devoured
* a quantity of food that ran the ex-
pense bill up to where he began to
conclude that his resolution to econo-
mize by helping with the farm work
was not wise.
A jitney fare and two feed bills did
not look like good business against a
few hours work done.. So he return-
'd to McKinney resolved to hire the
rm work done.

Byron England Is Out
For County Treasures
Byron England has entered hte race
for treasurer of Collin county, sub-
ject to the action of the Democratic
primary to be held July 26. He au-
thorized the Record to announce his
candidacy for same in this issue.
Mr. England is a young man 26
years old, but has had six years of ad-
ministrative and accounting exper-
ience, and his friends see in him ad-
mirable material out of which to make
a most acceptable county treasurer.
Byron England is a native of Collin
county, having been born in the For-
est Grove-Lucas community. His fa-
ther, theMate E. F. England, who re-
cently passed away, was one of the
county’s most estimable business men
and citizens. On his mother’s side he
is also connected with highly esteem-
ed pioneer Collin county families.
Byron is a graduate of the McKin-
ney High school, and after finishing
that school took a commercial course
in business training and, as above sta-
ted, has had several years of practical
experience in office work and account-
ing.
He is a young ffli." of excellent char-
acter and address, clean in life, pro-
gressive in spirit whose influence can
always be counted on the side of moral
issues and foT city and county-wide
progress. He feels that he is amply
qualified to discharge the character of
public duty peculiar to the office of
county treasurer. He has commenda-
ble ambition to serve in a public way
his native county. If successful in
election, he would spare no effort in
giving his full and exclusive time to
the dsicahrge of the trust comitted
to his hands and in a way that would
be pleasing and acceptable to the tax-
payers and general public having bus-
iness with that office.
He has recevied many solicitations
to enter the race and now, since he
has decided to do so, he invites our
readers to consider his claims and fit-
ness for the office. If you find him
qualified and of meritorious character
he would be more than pleased to have
the support of your personal influence
for his candidacy.
Mr. England is a single man, but
resides in McKinney with his widow-
ed mother. He is courteous and aff-
able in manner and obliging by nature
in his contact with the public in gen-
eral. Should he be elected he will cer-
taily make the county a most faith--
ful conscientious and efficient county
treasurer. Consider earnestly his
public announcement and he hopes to
see you personally to solicit your vote
and ifluence during the campaign.

much pf the wealth that already has
been aken away according to Mr.

Mr. Masters enumerated the claims
of the chains as follows: That they
sell chteaper and that the saving made
i by the customer more than equals the
increase, if any, in his taxes or the
profits which the store admits ship-
ping out of the community, secondly,
that they render a better service than
the independent merchants, and third,
that the net profits earned, although
sent to; headquarters, do not remain
there, but are used in the establish-
ment of new stores.
Enumerating the claims of the inde-
pendent merchant, Mr. Masters point-
ed out the following: His value to the
city, State and community lies in the
fact thejit every city, whether large or
small, ewes its existence to the inde-
pendent: merchants and manufacturers
who gr|ew and expanded, built and
beautifijed and that every dollar ex-
pended in the building of the cities
came ftom the net profits of the bus-
iness; second, that profits remained
in the c'ity and not only brought about
growth and prosperity, but flung th
challenge out to neighboring
ties, which caused them to strive i
greater importance themselves.
