the funeral, which was conducted
by the Masonic order, both of the
men being members of that fra-
ternity.
Both men left a liosf of warm
friends in this part of the coun-
try who deeply deplore the ter-
rible tragedy and who sincerely
sympathize with the grief strick-
en families and other relatives.
Carter Boys Volunteer
A number of Carter boys have
volunteered into the army ser-
vice lately. Emmitt Smith, Wal-
ter Brown and Frank Wither-
spoon joined the colors last
week, and Oscar Perkins, Flim
Allen and George Dudley left
Monday of this week for Okla-
ooma City to Enlist. We do
not - believe that there is an-
other pan of the county that
has furnished more volunteers
than the country around Carter.
Good Shower
A good shower of rain fell
throughout this part of the
county Tuesday evening which
will be worth a great deal to the
crops. Some of the early feed
crops have already ruined on ac-
count of drouth hut the rain will
bring out the younger feed and
cotton, and if we can have more
rain will cause these crops to
mature a full yield. As this is
written- the indications are good
for more rain.
Groceries
We are endeavoring to keep on
hand constantly a good clean, fresh
l
stock of Groceries, and we are glad
