The Commissioners’ Court met in
special session in the county Judge’s
office Wednesday morning aricl ac-
cepted the resignation of F. P. Cox
as Justice of the Peace at Winfield.
Mr. Cox was appointed after the
death of Major Green, who was
elected at the. last general election.
The name of A. M. Temple wi-'
presented to the court as successor
to Mr. Cox, and the commissioners
were unanimous in the selection of
Mr. Temple, who is amply qualified
tojiold the position, and whose se-
lection will no doubt '.meet with thr
approval of a majority of the citi-
zens in that precinct.
We understand that there is quite
a lot of business on the docket of
the Justice Court at Winfield hat
is needing immediate attention, ard
Mr. Temple has signified his infec-
tion of taking up this work immed-
iately and disposing of it as fast a*
possible.
W. L. Hudspeth went to Dallas
AVednesday morning to attend the
meeting of the- Texas Teachers’ As-
sociation, which will be in session
^ Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Many Titus county people took ad.
vantage of the Cotton Belt Orchard
Demonstration Train, which was in
Mt. Pleasant all day Wednesday un.
d.er the direction of experts from the
A. & M. College. There were t vo
cars set out on the siding, and the
'"tors were thrown open to the pub-
lic about ten o’clock. A meeting was
held in tho court house in the morn-
ing for a lecture by Mr. Swallow,
horticulture expert from the college,
but owing to a mix-up in the ar-
ranegments only a few people wevt
present as everybody was under the
impression that the lecture was to be
given at the train.
The cars were filled with speci-
mens of all kinds of fruit trees in
various stages of disease, and cases
of glass held specimens of insects
that are dangerous to trees, and
which cause trouble in growing and
fruiting.
Demonstrations were held at the
orchards of W. H. Florey and VV.
M. Smith where the results of in-
sects and diseases were shown to
those present and instructions were
given as to how these could be pre.
vented and the trees kept in good

bearing condition.
There is considerable interest be.
ing shown in orchards in Titus coun-
ty as a result of the good price re-
ceived last Summer by the growers,
which will be repeated the coming
year if the people who have orchards
will only organize to market stand-
ard fruit and demand a good price
for their products.

OF COURSE, WE ARE
THANKFUL; WE’RE
HERE, AREN’T W E
Many Teachers
Will Attend
Association
In view of the fact that tomornw
is Thanksgiving, officially designat-
ed by the head of the Nation, and
being glad we’re here because we’re
here, The Daily Times force will ob-
serve the day by resting and being
thankful, and no paper will be print-
ed Thursday. The Times Review
is issued a day ahead of time, and
will appear Friday morning, as us-
ual.
The State Teachers’ Association,
which will be held at Dallas Thu.v.
day, Friday and Saturday will oe
largely attended by teachers from
this county, as at least 25 have sig-
nified their intentions of making the
trip.
All of the teachers of the high
school grades but one will go from
this place, and because of this, there
will be no session of school for anv
of the grades after Wednesday,
Thursday being Thanksgiving, aid
only one more day left in the school
week.
The big shack which was started
on the Williams lot near the old
school building two weeks ago, has
been completed, and all of the bench,
es have been moved in. Much of
the moving was done by the boys
of the high school grades, who show-
ed their interest in their work by
volunteering to carry the benches. As
yet, there are no stoves in the buil 1.
ing, but they will be placed in time
for school Monday.
Thanksgiving to
Be Observed By
Business Houses
A majority of the business hous-
es of Mt. Pleasant have signified
their intention of closing their doors
in observance of Thanksgiving
Thursday. Of course, a few T>pct>-=-
sary businesses will remain open at
least a part of the day, but for the
most part, the town will take the
day off to rest and be thankful for
the blessings they have received.
And Titus county has much to bo
thankful for this year, if we bu*
take an inventory of the good things
which are ours to share. We have
had abundant crops, and for the
most part they have brought a good'
i price, we have have been visited by
, no general calamity, and the Gi,rer
of all Good Gifts has been very mind-
ful of us.
No special services have been ar-
ranged by the churches of the city,
but everyone can show his thankful,
ness by a proper observance of the
day to render thanks for many com-
forts and blessings which surround
Mr. and Mis. Lester Black came

Mrs.. W. D. Houchin returned home

A Cancelled Check is a
Legal Receipt
Pay by check is the safe way.
It is the business-like way.
It is th way of no regrets.
It finishes the transaction.
It eliminates the chance for future arguments.
These are incontrovertible facts that are pretty generally known
to most every one, and the reason more people do not use the safe
and sane plan is one of the ussolved problems of the present day.
And, too, your money in the bank is safe. There is no chance of
it being lost or stolen.
