(Crowded out last week)

Well, Christmas is over and
all that remains is the thank-
you letters and bills to look
forward to.

Mr. and Mrs. Bowie Duncan
of Egypt spent the Yuletide
season in Dallas, the guests of
Mrs. Duncan's parents, Dr. and
Mrs. Shelmeyer.

Mr. W. L. Penny of Dallas
arrived Sunday and will be the
guest of Judge and Mrs. Mat-
thews for the holiday week.
Mrs. Penny having preceded
him the week before.

Mr. and Mrs. W.Z. Truesdel
were guests of Mr. and Mrs.
O.A. Trowbridge for dinner
Christmas day.

The ladies of the church here
gave the little folks their usual
Xmas treat in the form of a
beautiful Christmas tree laden
with gifts and goodies. A very
interesting program was ren-
dered and as a whole was a de-

Judge and Mrs. Matthews en-
tertained with a Christmas
house party from Sunday to
Tuesday. Their guests for the
occasion were Mrs. M.E. Law-

We regret to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Heyne, which oc-
curred Christmas day. Mrs.
Heyne was the mother of the
Heyne brothers of this place
and had lived a long and useful
life, being a devoted mother
and faithful wife. Besides her
aged husband, several children
survive her, to all of whom we
extend our heart-felt sympa-
thies.

sister, Mrs. Kellogg of West,
Texas.

ing to spend the holiday week
