Dewberries With a coming of a better sugar situation this grand old jam and
pie maker calls for your attention.  Don't miss out on stocking up. We have a
big crop of fine berries awaiting you.  For those who wish to pick their own we
will make a very liberal discount in price and they can pick any day
convenient to them.  Season will last about two weeks.  No deliveries, bring
vessels. --Chas. G. Nunn, Bonham. 5 miles North of Bonham on old Ivanhoe

Boy Scouts
     There has not been a lot said about the Scouts, but we are making
progress.  May 30, ends our year and all boys must re-register before that
date.  We are planning an overnight camp Wednesday night. This camp is in
reparation for the big camp in Lake Texhoma in June for one week.
 The expense per camper is $7.50 for the week. Kenneth Young was the only
boy who could go last year but we expect at least 8 this time.  Parents see
that your boy reregisters and can go to Camp this June.  Two hundred
boys can be cared for each week at Camp. L. E. Vandiver, Scoutmaster
