RESOLUTION OF RESPECT
Whereas the Supreme Grand Mas-
ter of the Universe has seen fit t<>
remove from the walks of this life
and from our council rooms one of
our oldest and most respected mem-
bers, Brother J. C. Johnson, there-
fore be it resolved by us:
First, that in the death of Broth-
er J. G. Johnson Bethel Lodge No.
134 A. F. & A. M. has lost one of
its truest and honored members, the
community a loyal citizen and his
family a loving: and devoted hus-
band, father and grandfather.
Second, that we extend to the be
reaved family our sincere and heart-
felt sympathy in this their sad hour
of grief.
And, last, be it resolved that a
copy of these resolutions be mailed
to the family of our deceaaed broth-
er, a copy spread upon the minutes
of our lodge and also a copy be pub
lished in the Ladonia News. -
Committee:
v W. N. Graves.

HIGHWAY EAST TO BE
GOOD ONE; ALMOST
STRAIGHT AS STRING
Come to Sunday School Sunday.
Mother!
Clean Child’s Bowels
"California Fig Syrup" is
Dependable Laxative for
$ Sick Children
ft your little «M b out of »ort<
Vron’t play, aiek, languid, not
feature! auapeet the bowel* A tea-
•poonful of dellcioua "California Fig
Syrup” given anytime aweetena the
atomach and aoon moves the eour fer-
mentation*, gate*, poisons and indi-
gestible matter right out of the bowela
and you have a well, playful child
again.
Millions of mother* depend upon
this gentle, harmless laxative. It never
cramps or overacts. Contains no nar-
cotics or soothing drugs. Say “Cali-
fornia’’ to your druggist and avoid
counterfeits. Insist upon genuino
"California Fig Syrup” which has di-
rections for babies and children of all
ages plainly printed ou buttlo- #
The water running over the con-
crete the other day on the ‘‘slab’
! east of the city, and across Bois
d’Arc Creek, proved that it would be
only a question of time until the
rains and the heavy trucks would un-
dermine the slab, and make it use-
less, or cause it to have to be re-
paired at a great expense, so tho
United States engineer who said it
would not be used in the new road
east to connect with the Dodd City
concrete, was not too far wrong, al-
ter all. He said there would be no
more of this level concrete across
creek bottoms; tfiat it meant their
undermining, and eventual ruining,
to say nothing of the inconvenience
occasioned the traveling public,
which has to "wait until the creek
runs down," in order to get where
it is going—before-the-civil-war stuff
to a certainty.
As said before in the Favorite, thtf
new road will go straight out Fourth
street, east, no jogs or dangerous
curves, with death rendezvousing
nearby—nothing of the sort, just a
straight-awuy run to the concrete
east of the city three or four miles,
with the exception of one sligh>
curve, which is in a clear place, on
top of a hill, and not dangerous at
all. * i
The traveling public and that part
it which simply goes riding oc-
| casionally will bail with much joy thi
I coining of the new road east, a
! thoroughfare that will at once he
I both comfortable and safe.—Bon-
ham News.

A STORM WORSE
THAN A TORNADO
LOST PRAIRIE NEWS
of
To I.adonia News:
I-adonia has been my home for
more than fifty years. I am deeply
attached to it, and no one is more
saddened than I at any untoward
happening that affects our people.
No one, 1 believe, had more care
than I about the recent tornado that
devastated a part of our town.
But there is another kind "of
storm, worse than that, of which, I
am glad to say, Ladonia has been
comparatively free. It is not a wind
storm, but a cerebal disturbance. We
call it a brain-storm. Sometimes we
call a tornado « “twister.’’ A brain-
storm is a torsion or twister of
the brain.
People who suffer brain-storms
are commonly those who have made
over their thinking to some loader
or leaders political or religious, us-
ually.
By thinking for ourselves we ren-
der the mind firm and stable so it
is not easily twisted by every wind
of doctrine.
A <iesigning politician may twist
the minds of unthinking voters,
starting a brain-storm that will reach
the polls in a complete landslide
for hatred and prejudice.
If harm to the community or com-
monwealth ended with this one
storm, the injury might not be ir-
reparable. But it does not end here.
The self-mastery of these unthink-
ing ones has been broken down and
the foundation laid fo ra mob that
may be mobilized whenever some
leader cares to take the matter in
hand. For a mob is a human tor-
nado, a group of persons suffering
a brain-storm.
These storms are not confined to
the political world. They occur in
all the various walks of life. Every
person who takes his thinking, ready
made, from another is highly sus-
ceptible to such visitations.
Their devastation is found even in
the religious world. Complete sur-
render en mass to the will and dic-
tation of a leader, as sometimes hap-
pens, breaks down what little con-
trol of self they who surrender
migh* havu had, and they* easily be-
come material for a mob sent forth
to tear down the law in the name
j of morals and religion.
So, just as we are thankful that
no lives were lost in the recent de-
| struetive storm that visited Ladonia,
let us be thankful that brain-storms
| in our community have been infre-
, quent and confined to a small area.

PROBERS FIND 21 INDICTMENTS
The October term of the Hunt
County grand jury Tuesday after-
noon returned 21 felony hills cover-
ing perhaps the wiliest range of
charges of any similar number ever
returned by a previous grand jury.
The returns this afternoon to Judge
Grover Sellers were the tirst <>f the
present session.
Among the bills J'ound by the
probers were two for murder, both
against negroes, two tor assault to
murder, and two for attempting to
assist prisoners to escape. The two
murder indictments grew out of in-
vestigations in connection with the
death of a negro man near Caddo
Mills several weeks ago. The indict-
ments for attempting to assist pris-
oners to escape were the result of
recent attempts made by prisoner*
at the Hunt County jail to saw their
way to freedom.
‘ Other true bills found include one
for robbery with firearms; two for
burglary; two for theft; theft by
conversion; possession of intoxicant*
driving a car while intoxicated; sale
of intoxicants; forgery and theft by
bailee.—Greenville Banner.
