Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Watkins of
Crutchfield, Ky. are here this week
visiting her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.
D. Carpenter. Mrs. Watkins was
formerly Miss Hazel Carpenter and
has been living in Kentucky for sev-
eral years. As well as her parents,
brothers and sisters, she has a host
of friends in this part of Texas
who are rejoiced to see her. They
started from home sometime last
week, coming by way of Louisville
where they stopped to visit friends;
then by Mammouth Cave, stopping
there to explore and had an excep-
tionally pleasant trip to Texas. They
have also spent a day at the State
Fair since coming. It has also been
a comfort to find the family well
since reaching Frisco.

Mr. and Mrs. Willie Mack Wells
came in from Ft. Worth with the
funeral party that accompanied the
remains of Mr. W. A. Wells who
was buried at the Rowlett church
cemetery last Thursday. Mrs. Mack
Wells was formerly Miss Josey Mont
gomery whose mother and sister
live in Frisco. Mr. and Mrs. W. M.
Wells have made their home at Mes-
illa Park, New Mexico for the past
eighteen years. They have an irri-
gated farm and grow all kinds of
food products. They will average a
bale of cotton to the acre and seem
to like that western country.
Miss Izetta Sparks came in from
Graham, where she is teaching, as
a week-end visitor to the Dallas
Fair. Miss Izetta came with some
teacher friends to Denton and was
met there by home folks. Miss Izet-
ta reports the school at Graham
more than crowded and they are
having to use one of the local
churches for a recitation room. They
are considering the erection of a
new school building in the near fu-
ture.
Birthday Party Held
At Home of Dr. Ogle
This reporter failed to note a
birthday party given at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Ogle on Oct. 11
honoring the anniversaries of Mary
Ogle and Jack Northcutt.
Mary’s birthday falls on Nov.16
and Jack’s on Oct. 8. These dates
being so nearly together, a joint
party was given as before stated.
The children were 11 and 9 years
old, respectively. Their little friends
remembered them with a variety of
gifts.
About 44 guests were present at
this occasion. The afternoon was
given to play. Every child there had
a delightful time. Refreshments of
Dixie cups, cake and punch were
served. Each child was given a
candy clock as a favor.
At a late hour the little guests
bade their host and hostess adieu,
wishing them many more happy
birthdays.
HOME COMING AT THE
METHODIST PARSONAGE
There has been quite a home-
coming at the Methodist parsonage

Death Claims
W. A. Wells
The Journal has been at a loss to
make just the write-up we would
have liked to put out in not being
furnished with the data from the
home of this good man’s life. How-
ever, we wish to give a brief sketch
of one who was so highly respected
and is leaving such a host of friends
behind.
Mr. Wells came with his family
from Kentucky something like more
than twenty years ago, settling near
Rock Hill. All hands went to work
and the children started to school.
Losing no time some of the girls
were soon in a position to teach. One
daughter, Miss' Mary Minor, obtain-
ed a place in tjie Frisco school.
Mr. Wells was well fitted for the
head of his family , and was highly
respecteff and made a large circle of
friends. He and Mrs. Wells were
members of a Methodist church and
united with the church at Prosper.
They afterward left this section
and moved to Fort Worth where
they were living when he passed
away. While not having been in the
best of health, Mr. Wells had not
been sick but a few days when the
end came. The children all came to
the funeral which was held on
Thursday, Oct. 17, at the Rowlett
cemetery six miles east of Frisco.
The children who were here were:
Charlie, Mack, Mary Minor Clark,
Miss Evelyn of Houston.

Terrell 53 To 0
Mrs. C. V. Quisenberry has been
getting about her household duties
since Monday in a rather bandaged
condition. She was out at the barn
looking after some little chickens,
and not noticing, a loose plank, she
attempted to step over it which
gave way, causing her to fall. The
skin was fractured at both wrists
and both ankles. Though no bones
were broken, the skin was torn so
as to bleed and she is having to
wear several bandages.
Grandma Biggerstaff came down
from Celina last week-end and spent
several days with her son, Fred
Biggerstaff and family, at this place
and as Sunday chanced to be her
birthday her son-in-law, R. E. L.
Miller, with his family, came down
to help celebrate the day.
Card of Thanks.
To my many friends, who have
contributed to my comfort and hap-
piness while I was confined in the
hospital and at home from my ser-
ious fall which caused me te remain
in the hospital for weeks and at
home near three months in all. The
many expressions of sympathy and
bouquets and cream and other
things to coax my1 appetite and
cheer me in my lonely stay in bed,
and the many visits and especially
the Bible elass coming and hearing
their lesson on Sunday morning by
my bed at home.
For all these expressions of love-
ly sympathy, I feel that words fail
to express the gratitude I am due
them, and to the God under whose
U—I have been so tenderly treat-
ed.
Yours most gratefully, I am yours

Mrs. A. J. Gunstream, who re-

Dr. and Mrs. F. N. Painter of
Corpus Christi and Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Barnum and grandson, Hoyt
Leonard, of Pilot Point werfe here
last Sunday to see Miss Alice Bar-
num and Lee Barnum and Mr. Gor-
don’s folks. Dr. and Mrs. Painter
had come up from Corpus Christi
to Pilot Point where they had spent
several days with their old friends;
then in company with Mr. and Mrs.
Barnum, they came by way of Lit-
tle Elm where they were joined by
Mrs. Mattie Leonard who is teach-
ing at that place, the visit was
made to Frisco. It will be remember-
ed by our older residents that Dr
Painter and Howard Barnum and
wife were well-known in the Leba
non community forty years ago.
Frank Painter handled a plow long

P. T. A. Meeting
Held Wednesday
The P. T. A. met in regular meet-
ing Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 23.
The attendance was small—15 mem-
bers and 1 visitor, Mrs. A. L. Leake
of Plano, who with her husband is
assisting in a revival meeting here.
The room entertainment was giv-
en by the sixth grade with Miss
Atherton as sponsor. The Hallowe’en
idea was carried out in various num
bers of the program. At the count
of the mothers the sixth grade won
the picture.
Mr. Carleton gave a good talk on
Morals as taught and practiced in
our schools. He spoke in general of
all schools, and then cited us to
some specific incidents that have
been brought under his • observation
in our schools. I wish every patron
of the school could have heard this
talk. It would have opened our eyes
to our responsibility as parents.
Mrs. Leake spoke for a few min-
utes on the same line of thought.
She said we shouldn’t expect teach-
ers to make something out of our
children if we do not train them
properly in the home.
Including this report, I wish to
note especially that the next regu-
lar meeting of the P. T. A. will be
on Nov. 13. The meetings are held
each 2nd and 4th Wednesday, and
not every other week. Please bear
this in mind and be with us on Nov.
'■13.
Local Theater Under
New Management
Mr. E. L. Black, who has had
charge of the picture show here for
sometime, has leased the business to
a Mr. Flagg, who is now running it.
The new management have been and
will continue to give us some good
shows as long as we give them our
support.
Fans who witnessed the game be-
tween Frisco and Terrell last Fri-
day have a better idea of how a real
game should be played than ever be-
fore. Anyone whd was around the
school grounds Friday will tell you
that the boys were all worried about
the contest for the afternoon. The
attitude of the boys developed from
one worry a1 d a'most an attidute of
fear to one of fight. By the time
the team to k their places on the
field they w. re rll keyed to cush a
pitch that it would have been prac-
tically impossible for any High
School team in the state to have
beaten them. So when the highly ad-
vertised Ten ell team* attempted to
go through the Frisco line they were
quick to dec de that they should
have tried the end. When they start-
ed around the end they found that
they had mgre trouble than before.
Captain John Kerley and his hoys
were all over the field. Twenty-one
points were scored in the first quar-
ter and the total »pas increased dur-
ing each period. A pass from John
to Edwin Polser in the last period
was as pretty a play as has ever
been seen on anybody’s football
field. It gave Frisco one of their
touchdowns. The game was featured
by end runs and plays through the
line by Porter, Roberts, Tarpley,
Freeman and other's. In the line Pol-
ser and Mclntire at ends, Martin and
Mulry at tackles, Rosamond and
Amberson at gugrds and Ed Kerley
at center wcrA-fiHUd* hard to get
through. The game ended with the
score 53 to 0 and proved to Frisco
Fans that we have a real team that
is certainly worth supporting.
On Friday of this week Frisco
takes on Van Alstyne at the Frisco
park and judging by past perform-
ances it will be well worth the time
and effort that it takes on the part
of the fans. Out of the last three
games Frisco has amassed a total of
145 points to their opponents' 0.
The game has been dedicated to
Pinkey Porter who is probably play-
ing his last game for the Coons
and—as another famous star said
one time—defeats are not dedicated.
The boys are certainly in a fine
state of mind and are going into
the game with the ide that the
Frisco goal line shall remain un-
crossed. Let’s come out and help the
boys beat the team that beat Ce-
lina.
Denton Co. Prisoners
Returned to Denton
Denton, Texas.—Denton County
prisoners, who have been held in
Fort Worth and Dallas while the jail
here was being repaired, were re-
turned to Denton Thursday and 16
men now are being held here.
The work at the jail has not been
completed as yet but the buliding
can be used. Wiring of the jail has
not been completed and the heating
system still is not ready for use.
The work probably will be finished
within another week, however.
Revival Meeting To
Close Friday Night
The meeting now in progress at
the Baptist church will close to-
night (Friday). Good crowds have
greeted Rev. Leake each evening,
and the morning services have been
fairly well attended.
Results, though not of astounding
extent, are being felt and will con-
tinue through the months. The
church members have come to real-
ize their responsibility more and are
resolved to do more in His King-
dom.
The Baptist congregation, as well
as other denominations, appreciate
the work done here by Rev. and
Mrs. A. L. Leake. It is with re-
luctance that we see the meeting
draw to a close.

Senior Class
Take Hobo Trip
Hobos, well I guess! Even to Ho-
bo stew, made by the ones whom we
can all count on, Aunt Kate and
Aunt Levy. We went to Cecile
Smith’s pasture after meeting at the
home of Markaleta Sims, all the
way from 7 o’clock until 8:30. Tom
Roach, like a great sport, took us
in his big truck, so we gave him a
cup full of stew. Now isn’t that just
like a big hearted senior?
We all wore our overalls except-
ing just a few. Of course Uncle Wil-
liam and Miss Gussie didn’t wear
theirs for fear of belittling them-
selves in the presence of each other.
On reaching the stopping place,
all fell off the truck and made a
mad rush for the “dam.” A few of
the older and more settled ones
stayed behind to bring on the eats.
These were Hester, Map-Top- Susie,
Uncle William, Miss Gussie, “Dizz,”
and Johnnie. After looking over our
hill of food, it was discovered that
“Cheezy” and “Slats” had eaten one
of our 35c boxes of crackers. Afte.1
giving them a good talking, we all
yetlled down to eat. We had hobo
stew, pickles, crackers and fruit.
And who could be more thoughtful
than Kitten Smith who brought a
water keg and an axe? After we
had eaten, we were entertained by
Joy Leake and Ray Curtsinger who
sang for us and played the ukelele.
Among those present who were
not seniors were: Uncle William
Gaston, Ada Whitson, Johnny Mcln-
tire, Buck Polser, Sam Curtsinger,
Joy Leake, Archie Lee Julian, Eth-
lyn Carter, The Gold-Dust Twins,
Slats Smith, Flunky Atherton, Ho-
gan W'nrrcn and Tom Roach.

Birthday Dinner
Held Oct. 18th
The very pleasant birthday dinner
given at the home of C. L. Bishop
Sunday, Oct. 18th, was to celebrate
Mrs. Bishop’s sixtieth birthday. Her
children provided the dinner and
keeping it from her, they came from
their separate homes with well-filled
baskets. They were: Ernest Bishop
and family, C. W. Pearson and fam-
ily, Mrs. Ethel Kennedy and chil-
dren, Burn Jacobs and children.
The C. L. Bishop home where the
reunion took place some three miles
southwest of Lebanon is the home
where Mrs. Mattie Bishop was born
—the only home she ever knew and
possibly the greatest enjoyment
the family had in the celebration
was in keeping it secret from their
mother until they began to arrive.
The children wish for her many
more happy birthdays.
New Equipment Added

Garland Creamery
Wins 1st Prize on
Sweet Cream Butter
The Garland Creamery force is
quite happy along with the owners
of the plant and others interested in
this enterprise. The local creamery
won first place on sweet cream but-
ter at the State Fair.
There were six. other creameries
in the competition, among them Fal-
furrias, which took first place at
the last World’s Fair.
Le Roy Paul, the butter maker,
has a right to be quite stuck up and
is entitled to most of the praise in
this instance. And we don’t blame
George Williams, local manager, for
being stuck up over managing such
a concern and having such a man to
work, with and for him and the con-
cern; and the community may well
boast, for it is the products of this
oil that made the milk that made
the cream that made the butter that
made the record at the State Fair.
There are five points to be con-
sidered in judging butter—flavor,
texture, salt, moisture^ and packing.
