CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
The Dallas Morning News Tues-
day celebratcu her 50th anniver-
sary as a public servant with a
mammoth edition of the news-
paper—a 150-page bundle.
Flowery notes of praise have
been written concerning the ser-
vice that this great Southwestern
newspaper has rendered isince its
establishment in the North T'exas
metropolis, but a reader of that
newspaper can attest that its su-
perior editorial policies, always
for the betterment of Dalias and
Texas. !
Particularly do we appreciate
the constructive play The News
has always given crime news. Glar-
ing headlines that tell the world
about a murder in many of the
state papers are cut to single col-
umns and on the inside of The
News. Capture of notorious gangs
is played up to prove that "crime
does not pay." Editorials tell the
same tale.
Citizens of Rusk and of the
southern end of the county feel
that the highway commission has
slighted them in every conceivable
way during the past years—and
now they are demanding action
on sewrral highways thaft croas
the county in the various direct-
ions.
Neighboring cities—including
Jacksonville—have had everything
they have called for in the past.
It has taken -a whole lot of poli-
tics, a great deal of coke buying,
and the like t0 put across their
ideas, But they have been sue
cessful.
We stand for everything that
means the advancement of the
county—whether it be at Jack-
sonville, at Mt. Selman, Bullard,
Wells, Alto or Rusk. Therefore,
we call atterition to the much
neglected highway system, if there
be a system, of the southern end
of the county.
Down in the extreme southern
jiart of Cherokee there is oine
of the livest communities to be
found anywhere for its size, yet
if the highway commission fails
to act right, Wells will be riding
in mud again this winter. To the
southwest is another progressive
section, Faistrill, which has many
live-wire citizens who need high-
ways. Another neglected citizen-
ship Ponta and Reklaw to the
east.
It was recently announced that
bidis are being received for the
Oakland to the county line, near
Maydelle, road. That is fine, but
it is a job that the commission
put off a mighty long time, a
piece of work that should have
j been completed long before some
of the other strips of asphalting
in other directions.
Maybe better than t0 say, "We
demand artion," would be this
"Come over and we'll have a bar-
behue with cigars." Quicker act-
ion might be gained.

"Too much Red Brown."
This was the saying on the
street after the Eagle-Indian game
on Hawk Field last Friday. Maybe
so, but just the same, it is the
opinion of this writer that it was
not so much Red as it was that
the Rusk line was roundly out-
played.
Of course, I will grant that Red
is a good ball carrier, he's plenty
good. BUT if you will recall, at
the times that he made al of his
spectacular j aunts there were
holes in the Rusk line as wide as
the proverbial mile. Naturally, it
doesn't take an expert t0 see the
result of the combination of a
fast and hard charging line plus
a fast, shifty back.
SK JK
Did you ever see a 135 pound
man tackle with such ferocity that
when he does tackle they stay
put? ,
If you haven't, take a look at
"Skeeter" Fitts the next time
Rusk plays. Coming from a long
line of ball players—(there has
been a Fitts on the Rusk eleven
since 1924)—Early displays rare.'
football knowledge for a man of
his age. His passing back from
the pivot position is amazingly |
accurate considering the fact that |
ths is the first year he has played^
at center, having had all his ex
perience in the backfield.
* X *
This week-end the Eagles go,
to Alto to engage the Alto Yellow-
Jackets. Because of an injury to'
Peck Acker, left end, it is likely,
that Edwin Miller will be put on.
10 THE TAX PAYERS OF
the end postion, or Phifer may
be moved out from tackle. Either
way, the Eagles will g0 into the
game, smarting under the 32-0
defeat of last Friday night, so
expect a game at Alto, 3:30, Fri-
day the 4th.
Ht
Lon Morris went down to Gal
veston last Saturday night and
changed the Little Hurricanes in-
to a bunch of mild zephyrs t0 the
tune of 13-0.
J. C. Wells made one of the
markers with Big Bill Dawson
converting from placement. The
other marker was scored by Ches-
ter Jones when he recovered a
fumble. The kick for extra point
went wide.
* * *
Friday night, Oct. 4, the Bear-
cats go to Nachitoches, La. against
La. State Normal, a senior college.
This team barely eked out a vic-
tory last year, 6-0, but the Cats
have some more power and should
take the teachers Into camp.

Rusk is supplying a good bit
of the football material at the two
colleges at Jacksnville this year
Besides Cotton Allen, Bruce Swan,
Jiggs Butler, and Tubby Harrison
at Lon Morris, there are thre
Rusk boys at the Baptist institu-
ion.
They are Milburn Fitts, wh0 will
be remembered as a very capable
halfback, Hilton Byrd, an end, and
Herman Waggonner, a two year
letter-man at Rusk High. Fitts and
Byrd are playing their favorite
positions, while Waggoner is being
used at the center position. Wag-
goner is a hard charging lineman
and should make good at the pivot
post.
Fitts is completely at home at
the back position and s0 is Byrd
at end. These boys are under the
tutelage of Coach Tom Brown of
Alabama. Tonight they engage i i
their first grid battle of the year
with the Kilgore Junior college
at Kilgore.

I have been employed by the Commissioner's Court of
Cherokee County to prepare and file suits on delinquent
State and County taxes now due. These suits will be brought
during the next few months, and this notice is given for the
purpose of notifying those who owe delinquent taxes and en-
couraging them to pay these taxes prior to the institution
of the suits, so that additional costs will no be charged up
against them.
Delinquent tax notices are being sent out each and every
day to the tax payers of Cherokee County and if you are
delinquent it will be well if you will come into the Tax Col-
ector's Office, at Rusk, and ascertain the amount of your de-
linquent taxes and immediately make arrangements to pay
same.
It is not my desire, nor the desire of the Commissioner's
Court, to work an undue hardship upon any person or per-
sons, but in order to operate the departments of the Govern-
ment it is necessary that the taxes be collected even though
it necessitates foreclosure of the tax lien upon the property
of the tax payers. If you are delinquent please make an
effort to contact the Tax Collector, at Rusk, and make ar-
rangements for the payment of your taxes before suit is filed
upon them.
RESPECTFULLY,
A.
