BLYTHE CHAPEL

Examiner, October 13, 1927

The people of this community who are not through picking cotton, are feeling pretty blue because of so much rain.

Our school started Monday, Oct. 10 with Geo. E. Robinson and Miss Gladyce Campbell, of this place as teachers.

Several from here started to school at Lovejoy. Among them are: Misses Lucille Avens, Tressie Lee, Juanita, Annie Pearl and Edna Moore, Desda, Hazel and Wilma Jewel Ross.

Miss Ruth Campbell of this place is one of the teachers at Lovejoy. Miss Ruth taught at Winningkoff two years ago.

Bro. Brown will preach at this place, third Sunday. It will be his last time to preach for this year. Everybody is cordially invited to attend.

Miss Mittie Hester spent Sunday night with Willie Lou Campbell.

The people from here attended the Collin county fair regular, all reported a better fair than we have ever had in Collin county.

A society horse show, the equal of that presented in the big cities, is a feature of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Curcus, which comes to McKinney for an afternoon and night performance on October 14.

One of the most startling of innovations in tented amusements will be the presentation of a true English fox hunt, in which a score of riders garbed in the hunt colors, red and white, will follow a large pack of thoroughbred Walker Hounds, which pick up the trail left by six foxes. The horses have been thoroughly schooled and are able to clear the bars at almost unbelievable heights. The management asserts that in "Porter," "Maid-of-the-Mist" and "Atta Boy," they have three of the best jumping horses in the world.
