K. N. Baxley says the every
esday night singing at the
oond Baptist church is grow-
g in interest each week.. He
s those interested in learning
sing can nolfdo better than to
fSILm line and attend as there is
a lot of good practice and costs
nbthing to get the benefit of it.
T. A. Price of route three,
wants a law to prohibit the kill-
ing of any sort of bird for a per-
iod of ten years. Mr. Price re-
calls the days when birds of ev-
ery character were plentiful in
Texas and he says no such things
as the worms afd weevils were
heard of in those days.
W. L. East of near Harbin
cannot understand why there is
so much complaint over the boll
weevil, especially by people who
a short time ago were clamoring
for a law to cut down the acreage.
Mr. East cairns the weevils have
done for the counry what the
government could not do.
We note from the Bayfield
Blade of last week that Mrs. R.
Y. Parrish and Mrs. Fred Flinn
are already coming’ into promi-
nence in musical circles in their
new home in Colorado. They
were scheduled for a duet in the
church sendee of Sunday morn-
ing and Mrs. Parrish also had
charge of the music for a session
of the Mothers Congress soon to
be held.
Rev. S. B. Knowles says it is
surprising how many give as an
excuse for not attending church
services: ”No clothes good
enough to wear there.” He says
meet people rendering that ex-
cuse to him were on the streets
at the time where they were seen
by many more folks than would
see them at church,

show in the above honorable ca-
pacity. Whereof we are now at
peace with all the mothers of
Stephenville we most thankfully
declined the honor of such ser-
vice but would be delighted to
be present for the flower show,
and also to see the fine babies of
Erath county. — Hamilton Record.
The Frisco people ought to
think a lot of Stephenville, and
doubtless they do. Not only is
this one of the prominent sta-
tions of that system for freight
shipments both forwarding and
receiving but it also takes first
place, perhaps, on this divsion of
the line as a revenue getter from
passenger traffic, The1 largest
proceeds the road got from any
one station from the excursion
traih of Tuesday, we are reliably
informed, came from the ticket
sales here. The same thing has
occurred time and again.
Postmaster Knight received a
telegram from Fort Worth Tues-
day evening from an official of
the Fort Worth and Denver rail-
way, stating that John Jones
was dead in a hospital there and
that the mother and a brother of
deceased lived in Stephenville
but their initials were not known.
Mr. Knight and City Marshal
Fagan made inquiry of all the
Joneses they could locate here
but none of them had a missing
relative that suited the descrip-
tion. It is supposed the dead
man had been in the employ of
the Denver railroad.
Ira Woods, the unfortunate
car repairer who was blown into
fragments by the terrible ex-
plosion at Ardmore, was a broth-
er to Mrs. E. A. Barbee of Rico.
She received a message from
ArdiWore very shortly after the
catastrophe informing her of his
sad fate, and fuither stating
that he wais wielding the ham-
mer which produced the tiny
spark that set fire to the leaking
car of gasoline and snuffed out
forty six other lives beside his
awn. The telegram to Mrs. Bar-
bee was from Mrs. Ira Woods,
who with three children, is left
a widow.
Pastor Knowles is still preach-
ing twice daily at the Methodist
tabernacle, to large crowds at
the night services especially. He
announces the meeting will cer-
tainly run through to Sunday
night at least Although not
many 'professions have been
made, the interest is fine and jt
is hoped great results may h»
