BONNER LEAVES KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ACCEPTS POSITION OF AGENCY DIRECTOR WITH THE SOUTHLAND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY The many friends of John T. Bonner for many year a resident of this city but now lives in Waco, will be pleased to learn that he has accepted a much better position with the Southland Life Insurance Company as Agency Director for that company. The Dallas Journal in speaking of the change says: "John T. Bonner of Waco, for many years general superintendent of the insurance department of the Knights of Pythias in Texas, has severed his business connection with the order to accept a position as agency director for the Southland Life Insurance Company. He will be in charge of the Southland offices at Waco. Mr. Bonner was formerly a citizen of Tyler and moved to Waco in 1914. He retired as grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias in 1903 and became head of the order's insurance business in this State. As a result of his work for the Knights of Pythias one-eight of all the business in force of the order in the United States and Canada is in Texas, making a total for this State of about $13,000,000. "I regret to leave my Pythian business associations," Mr. Bonner said. "I have made this change partly because of the growing sentiment in favor of patronizing Texas business institutions, and also because the Texas insurance companies have made a great record and have won the confidence of the people. I have contemplated for some time aligning myself with some one of the home companies. What is more natural, then, than I should give preference to the Southland with enviable record for progress, promptness and fair dealing and its splendid personnel of officers and directors?" ***** ENTERTAINED IN DALLAS Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Hart entertained the Merry Verna Five Hundred Club on Friday night at their home in Brynce Court, 2310 Ross avenue. In the game the high score prizes were won by Mrs. C. W.
