Uncle Tom Martin Dead.
\
Uncle Tom Martin, one of the
oldest citizens of Erath county,
died at his home in the Sisk com-
munity Monday, and was buried
at Box Jschool house cemetery
Tuesday.
The ceremonies were conduct-
ed by the Masonic lodge, about
15 from here attending.
Uncle Tom, as everyone knew
him, was highly respected and
loved by everyone who knew
him, and always had a pleasant
word for those whom he met.
The Empire joins the sorrowing
ones in their sad loss of this good
old man.
Carl Day tells of a very excit-
ing experience with a kicking
horse while out distributing cir-
culars for -Mr. Cohn’s big sale.
He says he was riding along as
quietly as possible through the
Sam Jackson pasture when one
of the horses came to a sudden
standstill and prodeeded to show
how fast he could kick the dash-
board—and after kicking the
dash up in his face, began to run
and pitch and threw him out of
the buggy on a barb wire fence.
Carl has gashes on his back
and arms two to three inches
long as a result.

Messers H. S. Dixon and J.W.
Neill of the Agricultural Depart-
ment of Texas was in the city
Wednesday and addressed a num-
ber of farmers and business men

ing and horticulture. These
speeches were inspiring to every-
one who heard them. At the
conclusion of these addresses, a
Farmers Institute was organized
of nearly 100 members, with J. H.
Boyd president, Scott Woodward
vice president, and Prof E. E.
Davis of Tarleton College secre-
tary. Next meeting of the said
Institute will be held at the city

L. 0. Cox, R. B. Harrison and
Rev. W. M. Green informed the
editor Saturday f.htey would de-
part for Palacious on Monday,
and while penning this local-a
few moments afterwards, a feel-
ing comes over us that we ought
to go along and keep them from
getting into the deep waters of
the bay. If said feeling is not
shaken off before Monday, its a
sure thing that our worthy fore-
man Mr. Ed Bryant will have to
hustle the local news for the issue
ofJune24. Later—Monday June
20. It would’nt shake and there-
fore we are off for Palacios.

“I have often known what it
is to be in want of money, but
I never got into debt.”
That is the remark one of our customers made
recently. But let us tell you why he never got
into debt. He is the possessor of a saving account.
The man with a little money in the bank is sel-
dom compelled to humiliate himself to his friends
by begging a loan.
Your money in a bank, is a real friend—ready
to accomodate you when you wish it.
We shall be pleased to have you start right by
opening an account with this bank.
