Paladuro Dramatic company will render
a drama entitled, 1.-The Turn of the
Tide and give grand ball and supper
on Christmas Eve, at the residence of j.
p Morris on the Paladuro. This troupe
has been pract.cing for weeks on the dra-

play should not fail TO attend. The play
will begin at o'clock, so come early. The
drama, ball and supper will be free TO

excel all social affairs ever given in that

win and James Larkey, aged is and H. sons
of j. K Larkey, being tired of parental
restraint and desiring to carve their way
to fame and fortune out in the warmth
and sunshine of a friendly world, left the
comfortable home and the loving hearts
it sheltered and DISAPPEARED without leav-
ing a trace TO indicate their destination.
Rev Lackey has been in great distress OF
mind and the mother nearly broken-heart-
ed, Diligent inquiries elected no informa-
ton of the whereabouts OF the wayward
boys. Today their father received let
ter from each of them, in which the boys
are penitent and ask 10 be forgiven, prom
ising to be good and dutiful sons when
they return. They left with $40 IN money
which they earned last summer, and all
of it but s1.75 was gone. They couldn't I
get work and were sleeping out doors on
the damp ground of nights, and they
pleaded with their father il ne loved them
to send them forty dollars to come home
on. What does this father do? Just the
same as the one in holy writ who saw his
son returning while he was yet afar of
and went out to meet him. He sent the
money to the postmaster at Kountze, Har-
din county, Texas, down near the south
eastern corner of the state, and instructed
him to see that the boys get their tickets
for home. We hope that when the boys
get home they will take their places in
school again and that the lesson they
have learned may be lasting one. Other
boys who are growing restive under paren-
tai control will do well 20 learn lesson
from the experience Of these boys"
