Van Alstyne prepares booster trip amid car conscription
Van Alstyne plans a Friday booster run on the 18th with one hundred cars requisitioned for advertising, dinner in Whitewright, and a display of local pride. The week of sunshine has boosted the agricultural outlook after wet weather slowed farmers, now aided by modern implements. Fire Marshal Gattis explains store sweepings must be burned in wire baskets, a practical ordinance praised by merchants. Jefferson Highway Association president W N King calls a May 24 meeting in Denison for Texas division representatives as national officers visit on a Winnipeg to New Orleans sociability run. A former Rankin opponent’s suicide cited in Honey Grove raises anti-suffrage rhetoric, while Denison decries careless drivers under new traffic rules. Sheriff Biggerstaff hires about 100 extra deputies in Fannin county to curb suspicious activity, and Glenn Doss resigns from the Sun to serve in the Wa Department in Washington DC.
