SAM HOUSTON'S HOME IS
MADE TEXAS SHRINE.
Huntsville, Oct. 22.—The once neg-
lected home of Sam Houston, rank-
ing1 almost equally with the Alamo
as a shrine of Texas liberty, soon will
become a beauty spot of the state
through dedication of a memorial
park and the completion of a paved
highway which will bring the site
within a few hours drive of the popu-
lous centers of the state.
For many years after his death
careless citizens allowed time to pas?
without adequate expressions of their
recognition of the first president of
the Texas republic and later their
United State senator and governor.
In 1910, through the initative of
students of the Sam Houston State
Normal school, money was borrowed
to supplement their own offering and
undergraduates paid for the Sam
Houston residence, surrounding
grounds and log cabin office. Thro-
ugh the action of many owners the
old home had been removed from its
old location to serve as a boarding
house and the warrior's office was
utilized as a stock barn.
Both buildings were replaced and
now stands where they were in Gen-
eral Houston's lifetime.
Through patriotic devotion, a re-
cent Texas legislature appropriated
$15,000 to be expended for repairing
the home and restoring the structure
as it originally was in the '50's. Agri-
cultural barns then located on the
grounds were removed, the landscape
was terraced and the grounds were
beautified by plants, and shrubs.
The park, designated an Sam Hous-
ton park, will be officially opened in
May, when Sam Houston Teachers'
college observes its fiftieth anniver-
sary.
A monument erected in 1911 at
the grave of General Houston in
Oakwood cemetery here will also be
an object of interest to tourists and
Texans. At the unveiling 17 years
ago William Jenning Bryan deliver-
ed a tribute, and with a part, of the
proceeds of the Great Commoner's
lecture, the title of the Houston
homestead was obtained and passed
by deed as a gift to the people of
Texas. (,
by the physician when they get sick.
Physicians of the county at a
special meeting entered into an ag-
reement calculated to cut down their
lists of "bad debts'' and insisting that
obstetrical fees be paid in full at the
time service is rendered.
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, our Heavenly Father in
his infinite wisdom and mercy saw
fit to take from this earth the soul
of our beloved sister, Mrs. May Hurd
and whereas her immortal soul has
taken it-s flight from this unfriendly
world to that all glorious world
above, there to bask in the sunlight
of his bountiful love while the end-
less ages roll by.
Be it resolved, in the death of this
good sister, the husband has lost a
kind and affectionate companion, the
church and community a noble and
energetic worker, and the Eastern
Star a devoted member. That we
tender to the husband, relatives and
friends, in this hour of grief our
heartfelt sympathy in their loss, and
may her death cause eac and everone
of us to realize that our souls may-
be soon called into the presence of
! the most High God, there to be jud-
! ged according to the deeds done in
the body.
Be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be sent to the be-
reved husband, a copy spread on the
minutes of the Wells Chapter Order
of the Eastern Star, and a copy fur-
nished the Rusk Cherokgean for pub-
lication.

Time of Train by Vots
Berlin.—A vote of I he passengers
decided the service schedule of the
night train on the Marburg-I'ranken-
berg route.
After months of heated controversy
between the federated railways and
many of the local inhabitants, who. by
word of mouth and in writing, had in-
dignantly protested against "the un-
timely departure" of the last train
out of Marburg, the federated rail-
ways hit upon the unique id. a id un-
expectedly putting the matter to a
vote by the passengers on the train
several minutes belore it steamed out
of the station.
Under the supervision of the train's
personnel the passengers were asked
to answer with "yes" or "no" if the
present schedule should continue. The
"noes" had it. Thereupon the rail-
way company agreed to alter the time
table and lix the departure of the
nigiit train from Marburg for a later
time in conformity with the wishes ~f
the majority of commuters.

The messages, transmlttted on 10.-

While the apparatus Is not y t con

believe this method q£ reception,sow

THE STATE OF TEXAS
To the Sheriff or any Constable of
Cherokee County, Greeting:
You are hereby commanded to'
summon J. C. Watts by making pub-
lication of this Citation once in each
week for four successive weeks pre-
vious to the return day hereof, in
some newspaper published in jour
County, if there be a newspaper ther-
in, but if not, then in any newspaper
published in the Second Judicial Dis-
trict; but if there be no newspaper'
published in said Judicial District,
then in anewspaper published in the i
nearest District to said Second Jticli- !
eial District, to appear at the next :
regular term of District court of Che-
rokee County, to be holden at the
Court House thereof in Rusk, Texas, j
on the First Monday in January A. I). j
1929, the same being the 7th., day;
of January A. D. 1929, then and
there to answer a petition filed in ;
said Court on the 6th. day of Septem-1
ber A. D. 1928, in a suit, numbered!
on the docket of said Court No.
10528, wherein Mrs. Mary Watts is
Plaintiff, and J. C. Watts is Defen-
dant, and said petition alleging that
on or about the 18th. day of October
A. D. 1927, plaintiff was legally mar-
ried to defendant in Dallas, Texas,
and continued to live with him as
wife until on or about the 31st. day
of August, A. D. 1928. That at the
time of the marriage of plaintiff and
defendant, plaintiff had one child by
a former marriage, to-wit, a boy, by
the name of Edgar Wade, about four
years of age; that during the time
and all of said time plaintiff con-
ducted herself with propriety, and
managed the household affairs of her
said husband with prudence and econ-
omy, and at all limes treated her
said husband with kindness and fore-
bearance. But that defendant, dis-
regarding the solemnity of his marri-
age vow, and his obligation to treat
plaintiff with kindness and attention,
left plaintiff at the home of her fath-
er with the understanding and agree-
ment tat he was coming to the town
of Jacksonville and dispose of his in-
terest in the estate of his deceased
mother and would return for her and
they, together with the small child
of plaintiff would remove to the state
of Illinois, but that instead of carry-
ing out said agreement defendant
did co ne to the town of Jacksonville
and made sale of his interest in real
estate belonging to his deceased
mother for the sum of fifteen hundr-
ed dollars and took five hundred dol-
lars of said money and left plaintiff
and her son at her father's home and
has not since been heard from. That
plaintiff has been bitten bv a dog
which has been reported by the doc-
tor to wh( m the dog's head was sent
to have rabbies, and that plaintiff
has been under the constant treat-
ment of a physician since said time
and is without funds to support her-
self nor to pay the doctor's bill for
said treatment. That such treat-
ment of plaintiff by defendant is
such fraud and cruel treatment as
to render their further living toge-
ther insupportable, the premises con-
sidered. That plaintiff and defen-
dant promised to pay board to the
father of plaintiff and none of same
has been paid.
That plaintiff is informed and so
alleges the fact that defendant left
one thousand dollars on deposit in the
Texas State Bank of Jacksonville,
Texas, and that said money is now on
deposit in said bank. That since said
seperation defendant has refused and
failed to provide plaintiff with sup-
port and maintenance; that she has
no seperate property or income ade-
quate to her maintenance: that she
is now very destitute and in great
want; that defendant is in possession
of the sum of one thousand dollars
as hereinabve stated, and his annual
income is about two thousand dol-
lars.
That defendant has removed from
the State of Texas and if permited
to remove the money on deposit in
the Texas State Bank of Jacksonville
same will be beyond jurisdiction of
this Court and plaintiff will have
no means of support and mainten-
ance.
Wherefore plaintiff prays the court
that defendant be cited to appear
and answer this petition; that he be
required to return into Court an in-
ventory and appraisement under
to the community estate of plaintiff
and defendant, and that a writ of
injunction issue, restraining him
frum disposing of any part of same,
or contracting any debt on account
thereof, and of withdrawing any
money from the Texas State Bank
of Jacksonville, Texas, until the fur-
ther order of this Court; that dur-
ing the pendency of this suit defen-
dant be required to pay into Court
monthly the sum of one hundred dol-
lars for the support and main-
anee of plaintiff and her said child;
and that writ of injunction issue rc-
training the Texas State Bank of
Jacksonville, Texas, restraining said
bank from paying out any funds or
money belonging to defendant wheth
other name known to said bank to
belong to said defendant until the
further order of this Court; that on
final hearing plaintiff have judg-
ment dissolving said marriage con-
tract now existing between plaintiff
and defendant and that a suitable
provision be made for her support
and maintenance, and she here now
alleges that the sum of one hundred
dollars per month, payable monthly,
is a proper and suitable provision
thereof; and for costs of suit and for
such other and further relief, special
and general, in law and equity, that
she may be justly entitled to, etc.
Herein fail not, but have you be-
fore said Court, at its aforesaid next
regular term, this writ with your
return thereon, showing how you
have executed te same.
Given under my hand and seal of
said Court, at office in Rusk, this the
7th. day of September, A. D. 1928.

(Seal) Dist.. Court, Cherokee County
