Approximately $97,000 00 Realized
From Crop, With the Season
At It's height
The mid-season of the pres-
ent tomato crop finds the dc
tuaud still brisk for the East

on the slump yesterday, bet-
ing quoted at 50c per crate
at the different markets.
Combining the two ship-
ping points of Alto and Red-
lawn, a total of 135 cars of
tomatoes have been shipped,
bringing an average price of
8) cents per crate. Of this
number 96 cars were from
this place and 39 from Red-
lawn,
The Lone Star Shipping
Agency has handled 82 cars
and the East Texas Fruit &
Truck Growers Association
53 of the total number.
You All Know Him
A local eiti/.eu played it
011 his wife the other day.
Went home to lunch. Very
silent. Thoughts apparently
faraway. Mooned around for
an hour. Told his wife he
had seen the sweetest and
most beautiful woman on
earth. Discove: .d immediate
and intense frigidity in the
atmosphere. Home sure-liar
-ul with electricity. Wife
indignant and silent. Uncom-
municative. Children dis<
mnyed and in awe. Dog and
cat slink away. About to
break, Man remarks the
"beautiful one" is married.
Husband a lucky dog. He is
the husband. Frigidity dis-
appears, E'ectricuy vanishes,
clouds melt away. Sunshine
again. Warmth everywhere.
Peaches and cream. Lovey,
dovey. Children happy. Dog
and cat back. Pi'' for a week.
Amen!—Marshall Messenger.
Not often is a newspaper
mail treated to fresh roasting
ears and a frier chicken at one
and the same time—and once
in a life time to one of these
delicacies singly—but that's
exactly what our good friend,
C. E. Mai lory, brought to
this office one day this
week. Mr. Mailory is one
of those gentlemen who be-
lieves that East Texas is the
garden spot of the universe
and always has a good word
for everything in it. He has
given stock raising and farm-
ing in this country a study,
has made a success of it and
otherwise proven what can he
done here. It is an inspira-
tion to converse with hiui.
Mr, Mailory is a farmer who
lives at home and boards at
the same place.
J. W
T. L.
Hurst of Center and
Hurst of Neuville,
father and brother of Dr. J.
C. Hurst, arrived here Satur-
day and remained over until
Monday. They were accotn-
pianed by their wives. The
trip was made in the J. W.
Hurst car.
John Wallace of Lnfkin
and Miss SudieFetiley of l'ol-
bk were married in Lutkin
Wednesday at the home 0:
Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Fraukliu.
Better Service to You
We don't want you to think of the Continental State Bank just as a place to
deposit vour money, although of course we are glad to have you keep as large a
balance with us as is possible.
It is our desire to render our patrons every service and accommodation that can
reasonably be expected of us.
'I he Burroughs Bookkeeping Machine which we have just added to our equipment
makes it possible for us to jfi"e yon better service than ever before in the handling
of your account. By the machine method, your account is kept in balance all the
time. If you want a statement of your balance in a hurry we can give it to you,
including today's checks and deposits, in less than five minutes,
A neatly printed statement made out
on the Burroughs machine goes to
each depositor every month- The
statement shows all cheeks and de-
posits and gives the balance of your
account to date, taking the place of
tedious and unsatisfactory plan of
calling ia and balancing pass books.
The machine affords absolute pro-
tection against errors in figure hand-
ling. It can't make a mistake. You
can always be sure that your machine
figured balance is correct.
The increased speed, accuracy and
piotection of this mechanical book-
keeping system, i.dded to our tho-
rough knowledge of good, consistent
banking and business methods
makes it possible for tis to offer you
an improved service that is equal to
that furnished by the country's most
progressive banks.

The home consumer of
tomatoes iu Alto can be com-
pared with the shoemaker's
wife who is said to never pos-
sess a pair of shoes, or the car-
penter's wife who hasn't a
roof over her. Through an
oversight, no doubt, growers
have failed to leave any
of the fruit on the market
(or at this offie, either,)
