WATKINS-MARTIN WED-
DING IS SOLEMNIZED
On Friday evening at 7:30 Miss
Dora Martin of Deport, and Mr.
Clyde Watkins of Ft. Worth, were
married by Rev. P. R. Knicker-
bocker, pastor of the First Meth-
odist Church, at the parsonage
on Graham Street in Paris.
They were accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. CJdis Westbrook, Miss
Joe and Buck Martin and Mrs.
Henry Reece and son, Walter.
The bride is a popular Deport
girl, a graduate of the local high
school, and taught the past term
at Chicota, while Mr. Watkins is
connected with a Ft. Wortli con-
struction company.
They spent Saturday and Sun-
day in Deport with relatives, re-
turning to Ft. Worth Monday.
The Times joins the many Lamar
County friends of Mrs. Watkins
in every good wish for their fu-
ture happiness.
The School Board of the De-
port Independent District has in-
vited the people residing in the
Martin District, two miles south
west of Deport to consolidate
that district with Deport district,
and a meeting was held at the
Marlin school house Monday
evening attended by citizens of
both districts and Miss Mysie
Robinson, county superintend-
ent of schools.
Joe Graut, and W. J. Holloway,
supei intendent of the Deport
school, explained the proposal,
and Miss Robinson discussed the
advantages of such a change. In
her usual efficient way she said
it was her job to look after the
interests of the rural schools,
and that if she did not believe
such a change would be of great
advantage to the children of ttie
Martin district she would not
have driven twenty miles after
night to discuss it.
All the speakers (minted out
how sucli a change would benefit
both communities; that Deport
was not seeking financial gain,
but merely paving a way for a
Class A higli school to serve the
people in the southeastern part
of the county.
Following Miss Robinson’s talk
several Martin citizens express-
ed approval of consolidation,while
others declared they did not care
to express an opinion just at that
time. It is expected that a meet-
ing of the patrons of the Marlin
district will be held shortly, and
if there is sufficient interest a
petition will be circulated asking
for an election to determine the
will of the voters of that district
in the matter.

Sheriff Travels Long Distance
Sheriff John Brown, aecom
panied by J. W. Ball of Winter,
made an auto trip last week to
Aztec, N. M. for one Torn Sales,
who escaped from the Lamar
County jail, along with two oilier
men several months ago. He was
in jail charged with burglarizing
a clothing establishment at the
time of Ins escape. The trip of
1100 miles was made in four days

^ ALW. ANDERSON, Prop.
The plan as proposed is the
same one that was submitted to
the people of the Terrell district,
south of Deport, four years ago,
and was accepted by them. A
school is taught at Terrell six
months in the year and instruct-
ion is given in the first six grades,
with the privilege of sending to
the Deport school before the Ter
rell school opens in the fall and
after it closes in the spring.
Martin school district has a tax
of 73 cents on the $100 valuation,
while the Deport tax is only 50
cents, yet the valuations in the
Deport district are about 33Va per
cent higher, which would make
taxes no higher in the Martin
district than they are at present,
should the districts consolidate.
Renditions in the Deport district
have been high for many years.
This became necessary because
the constitutional limit of 50
cents on the $100, which was
later raised to $1.00 by adoption
of a constitutional amendment,
was not in effect when Deport
district needed more money and
need it badly, and the only way
to raise more funds was by in-
creasing he rendition.
“The Star Spangled Bar
was played by the Depor
chestra, and the meeting a<j
ned to be completed at the
tery, which was held ovej
grave Of Warren A. Tel
Chaplin Scott paid a beal
tribute to the aoldier dead,I
es of soldiers and sailors [
decorated with Bowers b|
Legionaircs, a firing squad
three volleys, and hardly
the ecljo of the guns died
until Bugler Kelsey so|
“taps.” It was a beau ti ft
emn service, and very mu<l
preciated by those present!
