The following paper was brought by the office this week and was from the 1930's Era. The "Good Home Sunday Courier" was a Northeast Texas publication, published on the First Sunday of each month in Paris, Texas. Papers were 10 cents each; twenty months for 50 cents ; or, a lifetime membership was $50.00. J. H. "Cyclone" Davis, of Sulphur Springs, was listed as a contributing editor.

J.H. "Cyclone" Davis

(The following is an excerpt from the July 1933 edition of "Good Home Sunday Courier" and reflects
the Depression Era that had " a grip" on our country.)

"Deflation means debt, distress, degradation,
More bonds, misery, and starvation;
More income for the classes,
Homeless, jobless, outlawed masses.
Deep in the waves is a coral grove,
Where the purple mullet and the gold fish rove.
In Wall Street is a den of knaves
Who plunder the people and make them slaves.
The law of the pirates is their creed;
They plunder millions in their greed!"

"..........delfation was born in the minds of those money mad ministers of mammon
that hibernate in that den of freebooters called Wall Street."

~J. H. "Cyclone" Davis~

"....................Cyclone Davis, in his eightieth year, is active on his Hopkins County Farm. For more than 40 years he is one of the most highly respected and beloved citizens of Hopkins County, and greatly admired by the veritable host of able men and women throughout the United States. Founder and for many years publisher of "The Alliance Vindicator," which he gave a large paid circulation throughout the Southern and Middle-Western States, of great economic value and political influence. In the August 1932 Democratic Primary, with no organization whatever, and with very little money spent in the campaign by him or any one else----361,485 men and women of Texas voted Cyclone Davis for Congressman-at-Large----a thing perhaps impossible under the same conditions for any other man in Texas."
