TEXAS TOWNS

Marlin, Sept S.-Mr. e. l.. GIBSON
received Notary Public commission
FOR the County of Falls. He has
the distinction as the first Colored
man to receive such authority in
Marlin. Mrs Callie Woodson of Fort
Worth died at this place and her
remains were shipped here for in
terment Friday. She leaves husband,
children, father, mother, sisters broth
ers and friends to mourn her lost.
Mrs. Alice Smith died Friday and
was buried Sunday. Funeral was
held at M. e. church. She leaves
children and friends to weep. The
concert at The church Friday was
considered success. A neat sum
was realized for the church. A
REPETITION has been asked Two dea-
cons were ordained at first Baptist
church Wednesday. Bros. Il. L. Glib
son and King Payne were the ones
whose heads the hands laid upon.
Marlin is full of health seekers
and visitors as usual for this time
of the year. Mr.. and Mrs Charlie
Wiley of Dallas spent a few days
in the city. They registered at Mr..
and Mrs. Nat Gerald's. Mrs. Cole
man Of Denison is down for the
baths. She is at Mrs. Harper's on
Dunn street Prof Jackson and
daughter have been in the city for
ten days, from Corsicana. They reg
istered at Mrs. lack Warrens Miss
Willie Mae Stamps leaves for Dallas
in few days to begin work in the
city schools there Mrs. Rufus Jack
son, who has just come in from
Washington, d. c., reports nice
time. She met all of the Texas boys
up there and they are making good.
We know that, because Texas leads
wherever they go, especially in school,
Mr.. Carter of Houston is here for
rest. He has been with one big
firm in Houston for IS years Mrs.
Ida Gerald has opened a first class
laundry in her yard and is actually
doing first class work. She has a
workshop 80 by 60 feet. and it is
wonderful how she manages this
laundry. The Racket Store is al
most a certainty and we have in
mind a location that would be very
appropriate. This place will be men,
toned as soon as few more ar
rangements have been made. A big
Union barber shop is coming-seven
barber shops are in town, and since
the State has recently passed an
other sanitary barber shop law, there
is move on to combine several of
these shops into a big Union shop.
This will be step in the right di-
rection. This is a good law, to force
BARRIERS to be sanitary with their
shops, instruments, mugs etc. Clean
Illness is next to Godliness." An
other party of Color is opening a
big garage here. Such place is need
ed in Marlin. Negroes own and are
still buying cars and they need a
place of their own to store and re-
pair same. DR.. Hunter has purchased
a five passenger Dodge car. DR..
Grant purchased Ford and sew
eral others have orders with the
factories for cars. Prof. Stamps is
considering purchasing car. A
Houston concern is putting cars out
here very reasonable-for cash or
terms. Any six or seven
church people ought to be able to
take care of their good minister who
is to be feed them spiritually. A hint
to the wise is sufficient! Mrs. hurry
GIBSON was called to San Antonio
to the bedside of her son, Mr. Jack
GIBSON, who wasS stricken with apo
plexy and lived only a few hours.
She brought his remains home and
buried him in the family plot, We'd
nesG2y in the Marlin Cemetery. Mrs.
hurry Gipson's daughter and hus-
band came over from McGregor to
attend the funeral of Mr.. Gipson.
Mr.. Harvey Humphrey, the so-called
BLACK German is still selling butter
egga and poultry The Black German
should be a model for the rest of
our people. Prof Rufus johnson

schools to begin their work. Go
ahead! success only comes to those
who labor and wait. Mrs. P. c.
Write will leave soon for Mississippi
