Nash and Bob Blair in charge. The

ever there were three others who re-
ceived several votes. This is a hard
place to fill right now when money
matters are in the condition they are
in and so many bills to be met, not
many who want the job. The school
needs your tax money if you haven’t
and do your bit it would be appreci-
ated very much.

Well, this is Bois d’ Arc, the same
beautiful stream that meanders
northeast from this point to Bonham
and on down Red River and mingles
with other waters and finally finds
its way to the gulf. It’s this same
creek waters that we wash our feet
in when we go swimming down at
Galveston. As this is my first letter
I will not give you a complete history
of our village or community which I
will try to do some day. I’ll tell you
where Bois d’ Arc is and give you the
names of some of the men who were
killed in early days and some who
were not.
Ray Edwards from Edhube came
down our way Tuesday. Ray is a
good farmer besides being manager
of a hay baler, director of a church
choir and a member of the cotton
acreage reduction committee. He
said the government would probably
have them measure everybody’s rent-
ed land during their first inspection
which will be a mighty big job. It
looks to me like he won’t have too
much time to bale hay or sing.
Several from this community at-
tended the spelling bee at Taylor-
ville last Friday night. It was lots
of fun to hear the big ones and lit-
tle ones all spell and “see ’em set
’em” down. Mrs. Elmer Clark was
the last one down on one side and
Mrs. Vernon White the other. Mrs.
White was declared the champion
speller of the evenings program. We
heard while there the following an-
nouncement by J. Lee Tarpley, pres-
ident of the community literary so-
ciety, that a play in connection with
the regular program would be giv-
en at the next meeting April 12. And
by the way I saw Charlie Jones in
Bonham, Monday. He had heard of
this literary society and told me he
was going to put on some funny
stunts before and after. He will al-
so take a uniformed orchestra that
will make heaps of music. That Tay-
lorville community seems to be do-
ing some sort of program all the
time. A lot of good singers will go
over in a body next Sunday after-
noon to assist in the big everybody’s
singing. Some of our best church
goers will go in the front part of the
day for Sunday school and to hear
the pastor, Rev. Roberson, preach.
Nathan Young, a regular Bois
’d Arc product, held a conference
Tuesday on the square with Geo.
Groves from Grove Hill; at the con-
clusion of which it was decided that
alfalfa will sprout and come up to a
better stand if a light rain falls on
it immediately after sowing.
