FAMILY REUNITED AFTER
YEARS OF SEPARATION
A recent issue of the Paris
News carried an interesting
story concerning Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Deadwiley, . former resi-
dents of T)eport. After leaving
here they moved to Blossom and
later to Oklahoma, where domes-
tic troubles arose and they were
separated. Mrs. Deadwiley was
married again to a Mr. Fisher,
who later died. A son and daugh-
ter by her first marriage was
the means of bringing father and
mother together again, and they
were married by Justice Shank-
lin in Paris one day last week.
It was a happy occasion, all shed-
ding tears, including the justice.

Al W. ANDERSON, Prop.
—
Commissioner George Terry
of Paris, was in Deport Tuesday
on buSlnes* and granted The
Times an interview regarding
the spreading of gravel on the
Choctaw Trail between De|>ort
and Paris. There are about seven
miles of roadbed that does not
I have any gravel, three of which
are between Deport and Patton
ville, but the entire distance is
grey sand and high and dry.
Funds to the amount of $23,000
are available for gravel for this
road, and Mr. Terry is of the
opiuion this amount will resur-
face some thin spots and spread
four miles of gravel, which will
be placed on the heavy, black
land roadbed. Ii will be neces
sary to open some drainage ditch-
es, till in a few holes, raise the
grade in two or three places, and
cut off the crown pul up by drag-
ging. Mr Terry plans to do
this work with his own working
forces instead of contract in or
der to conserve money for gravel.
With the large grader and trac
lor he can cut a gravel trench in
the roadbed, and the county road
gang will come to him in July
and August; he will use it in op-
ening ditches and rounding up
the shoulders.
Bids for the spreading of this
gravel will be opened by the com-
missioners court on May 29. If
Texarkana gravel, the same as
used on other portions of the
same highway is employed, the
gravel will cost about the same
money at the pit, but the freight
rate is one cent cheaper on the
100 out of Texarkana, and it will
not cost so much to get the gravel
unloaded from the cars, hauled
and spread on the roadbed.
National Memorial Day comes
next Sunday and it will be ap-
propriately observed at Deport
under auspices of the Warren
Teague Post of the American
Legion, members of the Bay
View Club assisting. Promptly
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
those who desire to pay tribute
to dead soldiers and comrades of
the Civil, Spanish and World
wars will gather at the Presby-
terian Church, where live fol-
lowing program will be render-
ed:

Prayer—Post Chaplin.
Solo—F. Fagan Thompson.
Address-Mrs. Jno. G. Wright.
Quartette.
Address—Judge W. F. Moore
of Paris.
Benediction--Rev. .1. J. Cooper.
The congregation will then
repair to the cemetery, where
the'program will be continued,
as follows:
Tribute to the Dead—Joe
Barham.
Dtcoration of graves — By the
Buddies.
Salute—Firing Squad.
Taps—J. Russell Kelsey.
It is the earnest desire of those
having the program in Charge to
see that no soldier's grave is
overlooked, and to that end,
Mrs. R. C. Kimball, president of
the Bay View Club, asks that
those having soldier relatives
buried at the Deport Cemetery
cominunictftu with her, giving
location of the graves.
