Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 for Chester Hays
at the home of Mr and Mrs C J.
Haydon, 1303 West Louisiana street,
by Dr. R. L. Cowan, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church. Interment

family burying plot.

Earl Ragsdale, H. L. Shoap, T. P.

The C. C. Harris Funeral Home had

Chester Hays died at the Terrell
hospital about 6 o’clock Friday, after-
noon, following a period of failing
health. His death came suddenly and
unexpectedly. He resided in McKin-
ney for a number of years with his
parents during which time he made
many friends. He was a lover of the
great outdoors. He loved to hunt and
was skillful in that line. He loved the
chase, and was an artist in taxidermy,
and possessed many splendid speci-
mens of wild animals and birds of
all kinds. It was a treat to visit his
studio and note his skill. His guns and
traps, fishing tackle. He was an ex-
service man and did his part in the
great World War. He was industrious
and always busy until failing health
removed him from life’s activities.
Chester was our next door neigh-
bor. Now that he has passed on we
extend to his dear old mother and j
Mrs. Chester Waters. Not a lazy bone
in him. Everybody likes Bobby, chil-
dren and grown-ups.
Grover Hight, of Sherman was here
yesterday on business and gave us a
call. Grover owns’ a nice fine home
place on South Parker street that he
would sell at a bargain. Has six

Otis Roberson, a prominent West
Collin farmer was in the city Tues-
day and dropped down here to this
some of his wealth
with the\ newspaper men. He is a
good friend of the Examiner. Likes
its editorials—most of ’em. But says
he is “sho a 100 per cent new dealer.”
And so we let him off by fining him
$1 to renew for another year. He is
a good farmer and is running 330
acres, 57 of it in pasture. It is the
place
iarm, one of the
West
drive . ........,
40 years ago on way out to the Bethel
camp meeting with other McKinney
youngsters—then. H. C. Barnes, long
since deceased, was the father of
Mrs. Robt. C. Kimbrough, of South-
west McKinney. She and Mr. Kim-
brought were married in the dwelling
now standing, which 40 years ago
was one of the finest and most up to-
date and best kept farm residences in
in West Collin. It is still a well pre-
served dwelling.
Mr. Roberson told us that a man
came out there a year or so ago. just
looking over the place and in talking
of other days, said he had not been
on that place for 40 years and then
told of the big barn which is yet
standing. It has a steep roof for
barns and a big loft. The man who
seemed' to be well acquainted ■with
all that section and visited the farm
frequently as a little boy, told of an
experience that was amusing. Mr.
Barnes had many pigeons that nest-
ed up in the high loft. This youth
climbed up on the rafters one day and
caught a couple of young pigeons
When he started down, he became
confused—he could not qlimb down
and hold a pigeon in each hand. He
couldn't hold two in one hand, so
he thought/ He was dead set on a
couple of pigeons. So after resting a
while and giving the matter deep
thought, he just turned loose and
jumped. That barn loft was high. He
got a jolt that has stayed in his
memory ever since. But he got the
pigeons, too,-
Mr. Roberson says he has made
money this year. He raises wheat,
corn, -cotton, cattle, hogs. Likes the
Eankhead and AAA. Is -preparing to
put in 25- acres of onions. The place
now belongs to the I. D. Newsome es-

It was every man for himself. No set

little or nothing. But that is all chang-

Mr. Shinpaugh has been ordered to
put approximately 80 men both skill-

have them in readiness by Decem-

granted after local school and city
officials had petitioned this needed
improvement.
Prof. Jack R. Ryan, City Superin-
tendent of public schools, states that
the building will cost about ?27,000
or $28,000. It will be erected on the
high school campus, south of the L.

The basket ball activities, and
