IT tS YET.
The Wichita Times, com men t-
10*011 Jim Lowry’s lament over
the decrease in Bonham’s Sunday
school attendance .on a recent
Sunday when the ground was
covered with snow, and his
charge that the pupils had gone
rabbit hunting, says:
“At one time Bonham .was pro-
bably the greatest rabbit market
in the world, and received so
much advertising on that account
that she soon had as great a rep-
utation abroad as the “rabbit
town” as Bowie enjoys as the
“chicken and bread” market of
the world. The Signal man
knows where to hit to humiliate
Bonhamites, and never neglects
an opportunity of doifag so.”
At one time Bonham was the
greatest rabbit market bn earth!
and for the information of the
Times and all others, we will
state that it yet is. It is also
the center of the poultry market
of the globe, the greatest cotton
manufacturing town in Texas,
the leading mule market South
of Missouri, the biggest Sunday
school town in America, and
* ranks first as the home of red-
headed, dimpled girls, yielding
first place to Houston only on
redheaded widows,. The only
reason lor yielding first place to
Houston in this is that our red-
head^ widows are so divinely
fair and heavenly pure that they
can't remain widows long. There
isn't any humiliation coming to
Bonham about any of these
things. '
Banker Charles W. Morse as-
■ t/v |iawi'towt
tiary, that his corviction is a
lasting and dangerous example
of a government gone mad in
search of a victim.” The gen-
eral public is under the impres-
sion that it is one C|t those rate
cases where a millionaire caught
with the goods on him is cbm-
pylled to pay the just penalty.—
Paris News.
The public hopes that the gov-
ernment will go mad often when
in search of such victims. There
are many millionaires in this
country'whom the public wishes
well, and there are some others
it wishes might take their proper
place along with Morse.

Bonham, Dec. 24.
Went to the Methodist church
tonight and found a crowded
house, but it was not so crowded
as was the old court house forty
years ago tonight when Bonham
had her first Christmas tree. On
that night Judge J. K. Blair
acted Santa Claus. Standing
room was in demand. In looking
over the vast crowd tonight with
the hope of seeing someone who
was at that first Christmas tree,
I was sadly disappointed, but I
offered a silent prayer of thanks
that my life has been spared
through another year, and that
God’s richest blessings may rest
on these children.
There were three other Christ-
mas trees trees tonight, one at
the First Baptist and the other
at, the First Christian-church.
All were pleased and the chil-
dren made happy.
Dec. 25.
This has been an enjoyable
day. By invitation l ate dinner
with my bbyhood fnand, W. G.
Clark. Billie is- the pure stuff.
Deceitfuluess is an unknown
quantity to him. Plain and un-
assuming, but rugged and lov-
able in his character. He and
his wife had a most excellent
dinner, and entertained their son,
Ed, and his wife, who came over
from Durant to spend Christmas.
Ed is bookkeeper in the First
National Bank of Durant. May
your days be long on earth,
Billv, and may your wife and
children go down life’s way with
you to cheer and bless.
Dear reader, do you know that
there are lots of good people in
this world, and that some of
them are bankers? I stopped in
at the Fannin County National
Bank the other day and was in
great need of something to carry
Bonham News collections in, and
didn’t have a thing. There is a
nice little fellow in that bank
that they call Chapman, and he
handed me out a nice leather
money bag, the very thing I
needed.. Thank yout Chap.
Old Santa came to visit me this
morning, although I forgot to
hang irpmy st

There are ’some who would
rather be deaf than to believe
everything they hear.
One thing to be feared is that
some fussy misanthrope in an
areroplane will chase the stork
clear ont of this country.
The reason the snow man hates
hot air is because it melts his
heart.
Another thing—why do the
•tores advertises their lowest
prices on white goods just when
the people need knit goods the
»oat?
Some men are so anxious to be
considered scientists that they are
sow saying that Dr. Cook never
had them tooled.
Presumably, the woman with
the serpent’s tongue wears gar-
ter snakes,
Of course the kind of men who
resent duns can always provide
against it by paying.cash or go-
iag without. But it seems not
to occur to some of them.
A Boston girl explained her
failure to thank a man who gave
her his seat in a street car by
saying “never spoke to a strang-
er.” MorahOon’t be a stranger.
Mr. Peavish says that before
they were married Mrs. Peavish
used to be always knitting
mufflers pulse warmers for him,
aad now she keep him in hot wa-
ter. j _

I am on the firing line again,
after being out a week on ac-
count of the weather. The roads
are muddy, and I found Bois d’
Ate frozen over. I passed over
dry shod—on the bricl^ge. Busi-
ness is on a standstill,, except
The Bonham News. The en-
tire force went to wdrk this
morning. The devil had a good
fire in the office just after day-
light, when Joe and I started
east. I am working with re-
newed energy, and tbe prospects
for the future look, bright.
1 am now at A. L. Dickey’s.
Mr, Dickev is; I am sorry to Say,
totally blind. He is another old
Confederate soldier who is wait-
ing for the summons to come up
higher.
Later.—I am stopping tonight
with Jules Cosgriff, -seven miles
north-east of Bonham. I have
known him since he was a child.
He started with nothing, but
now owns one of the best farms
in the county. He is a. breeder
of fine Poland China hogs
which he always has a number
for sale. He- also raises fine Red
Poll cattle. He is a diversifier
and makes a success ot farming.
Mrs. Cosgriff raises fine chick-
ens, and has some beauties.

Mr. Wheeler wore the gray from
1860 to 1865, anjl heard the can-
non roar; He has read The
News for 33 years. Both these
good people are dryland Metho-
dists. » -r
At night.—Am stopping with
J. E. McFarlahd, nine miles
south-west of Honey Grove. He
is another old Texan, _born and
reared in Fannin County. He
lives near where he was born 60
years ago. I have known him
40 years.' His home is in- the
woods Pjrairie community. Some
improvements being made here.
A $2000 house has just been com-
pleted bv thfc Christian Church.
The farmers are well up with
their work, and the community
is in fine shape financially and
