NEGRO CITIZEN
90 YEARS OLD
DIES SUDDENLY
Peli* Williams, colored, aged 90,
dlpd suddenly at his home near here
this week. Heart failure was report-
ad as the cause.
Felix was a former slave and re-
aided in the county for many years,
aad was well known among his race,
aid many at the older residents' of
tím county. During his active life,
ho established a reputation as a
swift wood sod post cutter. He could
down a tree in a jiffy, and could cut
" it into cord wood while other choppers
ware getting ready. He has cut as
much as three or four cords a day.
It is thought that he has cut more
wood aad helped clear more timbered
land than any one other person in the
county. He was also noted for large
feet, which was difficult for him to
obtain shoes for. For a number of
years shoes had to be ordered espec-
ially for him. The past few years he
ussd toe sacking and padding for
shoes.

George Washington
Party Given For
Group of Friends
Miss Josephine Lehde entertained
a group of her friends Tuesday night
with a beautiful George Washington
party. As guests entered the home,
a profusion of our national flags
greeted them from an arrangement
in baskets and upon the curtains,
making the setting for the four tables
of "forty-two" players most attrac-
tive. The tallies were of Martha and
George Washington dressed as in the
Colonial days. The score pads and
stickers further carried out the idea.
Two courses of refreshments were
served from trays which had for the
center a red lighted candle and a
stump of the cherry tree with the ax
in it for plate favors. Paper table
covers were decorated with cherries
and George and Martha Washington.
The theme was also very uniquely
carried out in the refreshments.

county would render a helpful ser-
vice to the county, the nation and the
farmers to order a supply for the
county and distribute them among
the farmers for their use.
The qaestionaire includes 232
specific questions seeking various
material information relative to
county farm values. When completed,
aasembled and the information is
divulged later to the public will en-
lighten it on many things pertaining
to the status of sgriculture in the
county. We can tell then whether

will be a general inventory of agri-

ent holder of this office, but with
the interest that I have in the public
schools, I desire an opportunity to
give of my time and talent to the
schools of this county.
Thus far, my college work has been
done at the North Texas State
Teachers College, Denton, Texas, the
Southwest Texas State Teachers Col-
lege, San Marcos, Texas, and the
University of Texas, Austin, Texas.,
For the last two sessions, I have
been the superintendent of the Lyons
Schools. Previously I spent four years
in the Lee County schools and three
years in the Tom Green County
schools.
Your consideration in the Primary
election will be greatly appreciated."
Mr. Hare was reared at Cason,
Morris county. He came to this coun-
ty in 1928 and became domiciled at
Lyons where he served as superinten-
dent of the schools there. He gave
satisfaction and was re-elected again
this year. He is a wide-a-wake, pro-
gressive young man, and has made
numerous friends over the county
since he has been here. During the
county fair the past fall, he took
leading parts and demonstrated ability
and leadership. His community won
high honor.
In the campaign this year he seeks ,
the county office mentioned and
promises earnestly to discharge the
duties that might be imposed upon
him n the event he in elected. He
solicits the support and vote of the
people. t
Cream Station Worth
As Much As Factory
An Illinois chamber of commerce
made strenuous effort to secure a
factory employing 300 workers and
offered most attractive inducements.
A smali creamery, employing twelve
workers, started in the town without
bonus or subsidy or attracting much
attention.
Then it was discovered, by some-
what accidental comparisons, that the
cream station paid farmers of the
community almost as much as the
total payroll of the 300 factory em-
ployes amounted to.

A roast meat thermometer elimin-
ates guesswork by indicating exactly
when a piece of meat has reached the
rare, medium, or well-done stage. It
can be used for any thick roast-
beef, lamb, pork, ham, or veal, lie
Bureau of Home Economics recom-
mends its use in all recent publica-
tions on meat cookery.

ment vocational rehabilitation board
