By Mack Clack
Yes we were in Bonham, Saturday
eve last, and it is a mighty nice place
to be. If you can be still long enough
you can get a glimpse of all kinds of
looking pooplc* Some are young and
gay, wear good clothes and others old
and decrepit. [Some are leaning
heavily on a cane, others have fiom
one to two crutches. Some look sad
and forlorn, but to take the general
average will compare favorably With
any other town in Texas. I did not
see a single person who looked to be
mad or intoxicated. You know that is
going some. Well the candidates
seemed to 'be pretty thick, some fiom
the remote parts of the county. Well
as we saw nothing of unusual natui e
to write about my mind drifted to
Bonham 40 or 50 years ago. Mostly
wood-then. Yes we can go back to
1873. We thought of the first hard
ware store of much importance and
that was put there by Charles Davis
who is addition to general line of shelf
goods put in farming implements,
wagons, etc. Mr. Davis introduced
here the double shovel, a double plow
n a single plow stock. It was
destined to take the place of the old
-line bull tongue single stock plow
so common among the nestors. He
also introduced the barbed wire which
was the cause of quick fence up in
western Texas. Well what do you
reckon this wire was worth at that
time? 12% to 15 cents per pound was
the price. Mr. Davis continued in
business up to his death was a very
likeable man, and was very accom-
modating. It was a mighty _ sorry
man who could not get credit from
him. I still remember what was said
of him, when he died. Many pros
.erous farmers of today look back
when they started from the stump and
thank Charles Davis for supplying
them with good implements in a way
they could pay for them. We liked to
have forgotten to say Mr. Davis in-
troduced the road scraper here also,
a very valuable tool. As our mind
is reverting to the long ago, will tell
how tanks, I mean the dam was made.
During war times when the Civil war
was on there was a company of
soldiers camped for some time a few
miles west of Bonham. It was called
Duff’s regiment. I think General Mc-
Cullough was in command of all troops
in Texas at the time. These soldiers
built two good pools, in these parts.
The dirt was plowed up and a beef
hide was used to convey the dirt to
the dam.
The dirt was thrown on to the out-
stretched hide with shovels and raked
on with hoes. When loaded it would
be pulled by a single animal to the
dam sight. Two men would walk on
each side holding onto the legs to
keep the dirt from spilling off. These
dams were called the Kirk Pool and
the Cooper Fool. The Cooper pool
was out on where the Whitewright
highway now runs and was near
Cooper creek. The Kirk pool was on
land now owned by John Kirk, ad-
joining the Couzens pasture. These
pools lasted for many years and were
a great help to stock in the dry years
Great advancement in all lines have
been made since 1873. John Peeler
came to Bonham that year as did
Zack Smith. These boys as they were
they were then, went into business
and were successful in a financial way
and built good character along with
finances. The telephone, the radio,
the wireless, gab has come along
since that time.
And still new things come. Yes
here is the power and light, another
big thing, machine guns, tear gas and
German gas and the other kinds of
gas, that moves the autoes around.
It was not known in 1873. Yes we
have everything and just where we
will get room, for what is coming
do not know. We certainly have more
convenient things and less to buy
them with than has ever before been
known hut don’t keep discouraged,
we may geit rid of Hooverism some
time.

Increased prices of merchandise,
better products, new developments
and a marked increase in the general
business curve is predicted for the
rubber industry during 1932 by Mr.
T. A. Taylor, B. F. Goodrich Co. tire '
dealer at Bonham.
“Because the resources of rubber
and cotton growers will prevent ad-
ditional reductions or sustained low
prices in those commodities, it is
that rubber products will increase in
retail price within thenext several
months,” says Mr. Taylor.
“Although we talk about depres-
sion, we' find the country spends many
millions of dollars in the retail stores
of America daily. This, it is believed
will not only be sustained throughout
the coming months, but it is also pre-
dicted that the situation will im-
prove.”

AFTER 40
bowel trouble
Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any continued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles and a host ol
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care aftef
forty. Whenever they need any help)
remember a doctor should know what
|s best for them.
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin”
is a doctor’s prescription for the bowels.
Tested by 47 years’ practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective in
relieving constipation and its ills for
men, women and children of all ages.
It has proven perfectly safe even for
babies. Made from fresh laxative*
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot gripe; will not
licken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
Standing majestically in Patomac
Park of the Natibn’s Capital is a
gigantic shaft of pure white stone,
dazzling in the sun’s rays and artis-
tically flood-lighted by night—always
visible, always inspiring.
To examine this shaft at close
range is to marvel at the mechani-
cal skill that made it possible, for
it is unquestionably the highestmon-
ument in the memory of any mortal
man. But aside from all thoughts
and speculation concerning its per-
fect symetry and faultless construc-
tion, the patrotie citizen is thrilled at
the merited recognition of one whose
noble and chivalric character is
fittingly gauged by themighty shaft
that bears his name.
Volumes have been written by the
score dealing with life of our coun-
try’s Father and first president. Es-
pecially in this Bi centennial Year are
these literary works being brought
to greater public attention. Every1
conceivable angle of his career as a
surveyor, soldier, military strategist,
Chief Executive and country gentle-
man has been arduously covered by
masters of the pen and brush. What
more can be said of him that has not
all ready been said and repeated by
his many biographers?
Washington was more than a man.
He was an ever living symbol loved
and venerated by noble men of all ’
nations.
The anniversary of his birth recent-!
ly celebrated on a magnificent scale
was sufficient evidence to show that!
this man grows greater with the
passing of years, that so long as
nobleness, Courage, Truth, Love of
God and Country are recognized as
cardinal virtues, the name of Wash-!
ington in the hearts of many peoples
in many lands.—L. W. in Masonic
