E. B. McKinney, representing
the State Highway Association
of Texas, was in Deport Tuesday
in the interest of an amendment
to be voted upon in July to per-
mit the State Highway Cominis
sion to take charge of the upkeep
of the state and national high
ways. Unless this amendment
carries, Texas will not be en-
titled to receive any further
federal aid. This amendment
will not increase the taxes, and
is necessary because the State
Supreme Court recently held
unconstitutional a law passed by
the last legislature authorizing
the State Highway^Ooir.mission
to take charge of the upkeep o'
state and federal highways
About twenty business men met
with Mr. McKinney at the Fir-
State Bank, where lie went into
detail in explaining the amend
ment to be voted upon, and tho.»i
present declared themselves n
favor of it.
LOCAL GROCER COUGH®
NAIL FROM THROAT
OIL Mill SOLD TO
UNION JOMMING CO.
A deal of considerable interest
to the people of this community
was closed Saturday when the
Union Forwarding Co. of Paris,
an organization composed of
members of the Farm Labor
Union, purchased from the
Terrell Estate the Deport Oil
Mill and Gin, real estate and
buildings—every thing except the
oil mill machinery—for a con-
sideration of $18,000. The gin
has been sold to T. L. Vickers of
Byrdtown, whose gin was des
troyed by fire several months
ago, for $4,500, and will be moved
to Byrdtown.
It is understood that the
Union Forwarding Co. will put
in a large, Murray gin in the
building now housing the otl mill
machinery, and the engine and
boilers used to operate the mill
will pull the plant.
The Deport Oil Mill was built
a great many years ago as a
community enterprise, and was
successfully operated for a time
as sdeh, even before the town
had a railroad. It finally failed,
and was purchased by several
citizens. George I. Terrell, now
deceased, was its manager for a
number of years, and he was
succeeded by his son, Jeff Ter-
rell.
Three or four years ago the
gin formerly owned by J. E.
Westbrook, but later purchased
by Joel EL Gunn, was added to
the Oil Mill plant, and has been
operated there since. This is
the gin that has been sold to
Mr. Viewers.
HEAVY SNOW FELL AT
DEPORT LAST WEEK
The only real snow of the win-
ter fell in this section Thursday
of last week. It began falling
about midnight and continued
until noon. It was estimated to
be about a six inch snmv, while
some believed it deeper,, due to
ttie fact that much of it melted
before the ground became cold.
Several telephone and electric
light wires were broken by the
weight of ihe snow and the awn
mg in front of Hayes & Sons
s'ore was crushed underneath
the weight of the white hlankel.

HORSE AND CALF
DIE OF HYDROPHOBIA
A fine saddle horse and a young
Jersey hpifer belonging to V. C.
Oliver died the first of the week
with hydrophobia. It is-suppos
ed the animals were bitten by
the mad dog which visited this
community several weeks ago.
Both animals were in the lot
with a good wire fence around
it, and it was necessary for the
dog to go over it.
Negro Minstrel Good
A negro minst-el was present-
ed at the school auditorium
Thursday evening by members
of the past season football team.
Only a small crowd was in at-
tendance due to the inclement
weather and muddy roads. The
minstrel was a very interesting
and laughable affair an-: will be
presented again for tho benefit
of those who c-ould not attend
Thursday evening.
TO THE
YOUNG MAN
Every time you waste a dollar you are doing
something more than spending a dollar. You
are spending your future home.
Every time you place a dollar in your Bank
account here you bring your own home that
much nearer to you.
Just as that home will be built brick by
