After the service of Sunday afternoon baptismal rites were performed by Bro. Shelton for Mr. and Mrs. Blakeley at the Beane tank nearby. On last Friday morning at an early hour the people of our little town were awakened by the hilarity of about 30 of our school children as they boarded the Fair special, according to the invitation of Mayor Wozencraft of Dallas that Friday be "Children's Day" at the State Fair. The party was chaperoned by Miss Massey of the first Primary work and W.A. Morrison. It was a great day for them all; the children storing in the books of memory things which will go with them through life, while the chaperones enjoyed the pleasure of helping them have a good time. Many cute and original things were said and done, but none attracting more attention than those of little Martha Sue Morrison, who was named "Hagerman's Booster" ere the day had far winged its way. Being the granddaughter of the founder of Hagerman intuitively she told a number of people of our latest improvements in the way of new school, bank, roads, etc. The crowd arrived home at a reasonable hour Friday night, tired but satisfied with what had been to them insofar as the pleasures of a long ride, sight seeing and entertainment at the hands of our great commonwealth, "the end of a perfect day."
