Day, Editor The First Bale Frost received its first bale of cotton this morning. It was riased on a Mr. Hagle's place at Brushy and belongs to Mr. John Clark and was ginned by Mr. G.J. Bason. The bale weighted 392. Quite a good deal of excitement prevailed here Friday when one Mr. Platt (of color) made his escape from the city bastile where he had been confined on charges of dispensing liquor to some colored brethren. The city marshal intended to take him to Corsicana to turn him over to the proper authorities and went to the calaboose some ten minutes before the local was due and found his man still there, and came back to town to get his evidence, which was two bottles containing alcohol, and went back to the calaboose to get his prisoner, but to his surprise he had flown. He immediately sounded the alarm and the country was searched for miles around, but he had made his safety sure.Now we would like to know what will become of the evidence? Mrs. Dick Simpson and baby were in Frost trades day and Mrs. Simpson concluded to enter the little fellow in the baby contest. He won first prize over about thirty-five competitors. The judges were all agreed that this was the first premium baby they at once covered him with blue ribbons. The little man is five months old, has large blue eyes, fair complexion and auburn hair. His features are even and a sweet disposition finds expression in his demeanor. --Blooming Grove Rustler Born --To Mr. and Mrs. Newt Barker at Temple the latter part of the week a fine girl.

The beautiful lawn of Mrs. Gillean, surrounded with a variety of flowers nodding in the breeze and dotten with the children in white presented a picture any artist would delight in painting. After playing different games under the instruction of Mr. M.A. Small, each child was served all the ice cream and cake it could eat. Mrs. Burk treated the children to some inpsing?[torn] songs and Mis Flora Ivey gave some piano selections. Each child expressed itself as having a good time.

There were 25 conversions and reclamations, 11 additions to the church and 10 who placed themselves upon the altar for special service in God's Kingdom. From beginning to end Bro Matlock preached the pure, unadulterated Gospel of Jesus to large and attentive audiences. Saturday night he preached for nearly two hours without a moment's lag in interest on the subject, "The pursuing hounds of a guilty conscience" Sunday morning we experienced a veritable Pentecost. And best of all, Emmetts' besetting sin, church strife or sectarinism, has been dealt a death blow, Bro. Matlock is surely a man of God. From the depths of our hearts we are glad he came our way. May he live a long, long time and his power never cease to incrase. W.E. Hawkins, Jr. Paster Emmett Circuit. Born to Mr and Mrs. D.I Garnder, lon Monaday last, a fine girl.

The Frost Star began in 1902, published on Friday and continued through the 1940's at least. The Frost News seems to be a competitive paper. Its office was over the Citizens' Bank.
