OGLESBY DEPARTMENT
W. ALEXANDER, Representative
We Fad a surprise marriage
Wednesday evening of last week
in the community. Miss Violet
Everett became the bride of Mr.
Ted Vandiver. Mrs. Vandiver who
is the lovely and talented daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ever-
ett, finished high school here
some time ago. She also finished
in music at Baylor University,
and we think is very accomp-
lished in her work. Mr. Van-
diver is a son of Mr. George
Vandiver, and has been em-
ployed recently at El Campo do-
ing nicely in his work. They are
both very popular with the young
set. Each and every one who
knows them are congratulating
them and hoping they are happy
and contented, and wishing for
them a smooth voyage through
life. Rev. P. W. Layne read the
marriage ceremony which made
them husband and wife.
Mr. and Mrs. V. G. Lawrence
and children have reecntly re-
turned home, after several days'
in New Mexico and western Tex-
as. While in New Mexico they
visited the cavern of Carlsbad
and enjoyed it very much. They
say it is impossible to explain the
beautiful scenery they saw in
the caverns. They also saw some
beautiful country in western
Texas. Mr. Lawrance says Texas
must be a mighty big state.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Huddleston
had recently as their guests Mrs.
Chas. Williams and daughter,
Charlie Frances, of Buckholt; al-
so had Billie Jack Elliott, of San
Antonio, and Rebecca Sproul, of
Mt. Calm.
Harry Johnson has finished
his school work at Daniel Baker,
Brownwood and has secured a
school and will teach at Ray-
monville, south Texas, this next
term.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Huddleston
spent Monday in Dallas attend-
ing to business matters.
j Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Putman

Turnersville and heard Rev. Cris-
well and Rev. Boswell, of Waco.
Mrs. J. L. Rice and sons, of
Houston, are here visiting her

ily, of Commerce, are taking va-
cation. They first went to south

Calif., came in last week to see
his mother, also visiting other

he will visit in Gatesville.

FLEA PRECAUTIONS
If your house is full of fleas,
they are probably presents from
your dog or cat, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. To
destroy fleas on pet animals ap-
ply derris powder or wash them
in a fairly weak solution of sap-
onified creosote or kerosene
emulsion. Keep pet animals out
of the house. Scatter about 5
pounds of flaked naphthalene
over the floor of each infected
room, keep the room closed for
12 hours, then sweep up the
naphthalene remaining. Keep
animals and poultry from be-
neath buildings (where fleas
breed), and clean up trash, in
such places. Infested areas
should be sprayed with creosote
oil and ground where young fleas
are growing should be covered
with salt and wet down well.

YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
Bank accounts may be divided into two class-
es—those that grow and those that do not.
A growing bank account is a constant inspira-
tion to save more. When your bank account is
growing, it means more to you than a mere sum of
money. It gives you self-respect and confidence.
You know you are getting ahead. Your hopes and
ambitions find expression in it and rise with it. Sav-
ing becomes a positive pleasure.
Make yours a growing account and stick to it.
We will be glad to have your account, even if you
deposit only a little at a time. There is a satisfied
feeling to have money in the bank. You have cash
at your command at all times.

MRS. H. L. DRYER
“I was badly run down and
even the simplest foods brought
on attacks of indigestion,” said
Mrs. H. L. Dryer, for more than
fifty years a resident of Corpus
Cliristi, residing at 1337 Ocean
Drive, in that city. I bloated
terribly after meals and suffered
severe belching speells. Constipa-
tion wwas a source of constant j is the situation : I met a young
worry and had severe pains in I widow with a grown step-daugh-
my abdomen after meals. I was . ter; I marriecl the widow. Then
HELP! HELP! HELP!
Dear Tack:
I see where you want .to help
anybody who is in trouble. I
need help and need it badly. Here
unable to sleep at night.
“I have taken Konjola but a
week and can say that every
ache and pain in my stomach is
gone. I can now rest well at
night and eat what I wish with-
out any of my former miseries.
I have never used a medicine like
Konjola and although I am 68
years of age, I can do plenty
of work. I am more than glad
to pass my praise for this medi-
cine to others.”
This is not an exceptional case.
Konjola does work quickly and
none the less thoroughly. It is
best in most cases to continue the
treatment over a period of from
six to eight weeks.
Konjola is sold in McGregor,
Oklahoma, at Evers’ Corner Drug
Store, and' by all the .best drug-
gists in all towns throughout
this entire section.

my father met our step-daugh-
ter and married her. That made
my wife the mother-in-law of her
father-in-1 aw and my step-daugh-
ter, my step-mother and my fath-
er became my step-son. See?
Then my step-mother, the step-
daughter of my wife, had a son.
That boy was of course my broth-
er, because he was my father’s
son, but he also was the son of
my wife’s step-daughter, that
made me grandfather to my step-
brother. Then my wife had a
son, who was my brother-in-law.
The step-sister of my son is also
his grandmother, because he is
her step-son’s child. My father
is the brother-in-law of niy child,
because his step-sister is his
wife. I am the brother of my
own son who is also the child of
my grandmother. I am my
mother’s brother-in-law. My wife
is her own child’s aunt. My son
is my father’s nephew. And I’m
my own grandfather and can’t
stand it. What can you do to
help me?
