The Old Settlers' reunion, an
annual three-day picnic for Hop
kins county and surrounding
counties, will be held in the
city park Aug 13 14 and 15.
This is an occasion that has
been celebrated in this county
for more than twenty years,
and is attended by thousands
of people each year, with spe-
cial attention and programs
arranged for the "old settlers"
of the county. The usual large
attendance is expected this
year.—Sulphur Sprrngs Echo.

To My Democratic Friends in
Wood County:—I wish I could
see'each of you who supported
me so loyally in the recent
primary, and thank you person-
ally. Many of you I could not
see before the election, be-
cause of my court duties, but
you voted for me never-the-
less and I am more the grate-

My effort shall be to see to
it that every person having a
case in my court shall have a
fair trial and in that way be
worthy of your continued con-

married at
sterrett sunday
The News was surprised this
week when we received announ
cement of the marriage of our
young friend, Victor <P. Zieg-
ler, to Miss Eula Smithwich at
the home of the bride's par-
ents in Sterrett, on Sunday,
Aug. 3rd. Mr. Ziegler was rear-
ed in this section and went to
Sterrett a few years ago to
take management of a grocery
store owned by V. E. McLeod.
He is an excellent young man,
of good character, and is wor-
thy of the young woman he
has won for life-mate. The
News wishes them well.

Next teachers examination,
August 15 and 16. There will
also be examinations in Sept 5
and 6, and December 5 and 6,
1924. State aid applications
have not been received yet and
I will send them out as soon
as received. Neither has the per
capita appropriation been an-
nounced officially. I understand
that it is $14.00. The time for
transfers has past except for
high school purposes by the
county trustees. Teachers must
file contracts ' and register
their certificates at once if
♦ hey have not already done so.
Teachers are compelled to at-
tend the institute in the county
in which they teach. They are
not excused even though they
hold back contracting. They are
paid for attendance, therefore
it cannot be considered a bur-
den. The teachers voted to
meet this year in Tyler and a
great time is expected. J. U.
Searcy, County Superintendent.

To the Citizenship of East Tex
as, Greetings.
Every loyal citizen has duties
to preform in time of peace as
well as in time of war, and
whenever a neighbor, a county
a state, a nation leads out in
any enterprise that has for its
object the common good of
the country, it is their duty as
citizens to give such enter-
prise their hearty support and
assist in every honorable way
to make it a success.
The citizenship of Tyler,
backed up by the citizenship of
all Smith county, have launch-
ed one of the most laudible
and far reaching enterprises in
the history of this great state
—"The East Texas State Fair.
The object of this association
is the advancement of agricul-
tural interests, as well as the
development of other natural
resources of East Texas.
This fair is located right in
the heart of the most wonder-
ful agricultural country in the
nation, where we can gather
from the never failing har-
vests and place it on
exhibition and entertain the
world any month in the year.
These enterprising and far
seeing citizens have spent thou
sands and thousands of dollars
in erecting suitable buildings
and beautifying the grounds
without cost to anyone except
themselves and are now invit-
ing us to join them in advertis-
ing East Texas to the world,
and if a good number of our
