Armistice Day was duly observed j
in Mt. Pleasant Saturday, although
only a half’ holiday was taken by most
north side of the square, in order to i by the business concerns, which op-
bring it down to conform to the level
of the other walks in that part of the
business section, which are only about
six inches higher than the curb.

the last of these high walks will be
removed, and with the lowering of
the floors of five buildings on the
north side of the square, makes this

of the Badt building will probably be
lowered some time later.

COUPON DAYS HAVE BEEN
MOVED TO THURSDAY
ened at noon.
Early in the morning, the usual
“kangaroo court” went into session,
and many fines were assessed against
anybody that the Legionnaires could
apture in the business section. Some
unusually good stunts were presented
during the trials.
At 10:30, a parade was formed at
the Legion Hall, which marched
through the entire business section.
The parade was headed by the Mt.
Pleasant Municipal Band, which fur-
nished some good music for the oc-
casion.
A large, crowd gathered in the
southeast corner of the square at 11
Vclock, to hear Congressman Wright
Patman speak on Legion work. Mr.
Patman was introduced by Mayor
Earl M. Lide, himself a Legionnaire.
Mr. Patman’s speech contained a
great deal of information of which
the public was not aware until this
occasion. A loud speaker carried the
talk to the outer edges of the crowd,
and everybody was enable to hear Mr.
Patman plainly.
At noon, a barbecue was given to
ex-service men and their immediate
ramilies in the Legion Hall. At the
barbecue, Hiram G. Brown introduced
Miss Virginia Edwards, who render-
1 some delightful vocal selections.
In the afternoon, a football game
between Mt. Pleasant and Justin was
staged at the fair grounds, a large
crowd attending.

From Pecan Tree
A man named Jennings, who lives
on the Hargrove place near Talco,
sustained a broken leg and a broken
collar bone Sunday morning while
threshing pecans in the W. A. Ford
orchard in Sulphur bottoms.
Mr. Jennings had used a linesman’s
climbers to scale a high pecan tree
ar.d had shaken the nuts from the top
limbs, descending gradually until he
had reached one of the first limbs of
the- tree, which was said tn be over
fifty feet from the ground. He
crawled out toward the end of limb,
which broke between him and the
trunk of the tree when he began shak-
ing it. There being no other limbs
o catch him, he fell to the ground,
and would doubtless have been kill-
ed had he not kept hold on the limb,
which somewhat broke his fall.
Others in the orchard saw the ac-
cident, and took him to Talco, where
he was given first aid treatment, and
then taken to Paris and placed in a
sanitarium.

team of the Mt. Pleasant High School
met the Justin High School team at
the fair grounds in a very interesting
game, the Tigers winning by the
Jose score of 6 to 0. The two teams
were about evenly matched, although
the game was for the most part play-
ed in the territory of the visitors. The
lone touchdown was made by a lucky
break in the third quarter, after the
visitors had been pushed back to their
