Christmas witnessed a happy
reunion between Mrs. E. A. In-
gram of Milton, and her son,
George Worthy of Paris. They
had been unable to locate each
other for 33 years.
The Ingrams resided in Ark-
ansas 33 years ago, but one fall
went to Red River bottoms to
• pick cotton, later settling in
Lamar county 26 years ago.
Mrs. Ingram’s son, George Wor-
thy, remained in Hot Springs
and. lost trace of his mother.
He later made numerous unsuc-
cessful efforts to locate her.
A short time ago Bunk Mil-
ter who resides in this section,
became engaged in conversation
with Worthy while in a store
at Pars. Worthy inquired
about Ingram families in this
country, information secured
bringing about further inves-
tigation.
Fire early Friday morning
destroyed the cotton warehouse
at Bogata with 800 bales of
cotton it contained. Only the
telephone and a small quantity
of loose cotton were saved.
When discovered flames had
gained such headway that there
was no possibility of quelling
them. By the time citizens of
Bogata were alarmed, flames
had spread over the entire
structure.
Stored in the warehouse were
300 bales of cotton held as se-
curity of government loans and
500 bales belonging to farmers
and cotton companies. Prac-
tically all the farmers’ cotton
was in small lots, few exceed-
ing 15 bales. There was in-
surance on much of the cotton
though about 100 bales of that
held by farmers was not cov-
ered.

Thermometers in this section
hit the toboggan Tuesday and
reached the season’s low of 28
degrees before Wednesday
morning. Plenty of ice was in
evidence Wednesday and the
cold was very noticeable as
there has been few instances
of subfreezing weather during
the fall and winter of 1933.
There was only a few degrees
rise in temperature during the
day and an east wind caused
Deport residents to shiver in
spite of overcoats and heavy
clothing.
Feeling that winter had real-
ly arrived, farmers Wednesday
were killing hogs and slaugh-
ter vats in Deport were busy. Each community will be forced
Many large hogs which farm-1 ---------
ers feared to kill because of
the warm weather, were eating
corn which is scarce this year.
The cold was welcomed by
these growers who had fed the
animals longer than they had
expected.

brought a fully developed cot-

The boll, still green was found — v— -x----J *- ,_1------

while bedding land. Unusually
mild fall enabled bolls to ma-

In many fields over this sec-

plants and a farmer south of
Paris found a stalk containing
blooms, squares and young
bolls.
The cold which struck Tues-

CWA workers will not be af-
fected immediately by the Fed-
eral government’s suspension
of relief appropriations to Tex-
as as funds had been alloted to
carry on the work until Feb. 1.
Deport workers are continu-
ing the good work of straight-
ening and widening Mustang
creek channel. That portion
between the two bridges in the
business district has been com-
pleted and laborers are now
working north of town.
Crews of about 30 men are
used and each man is relieved
after 30 hours work, the rota-
tion being continued until all
men on the relief roll are given
work.
Mayor J. R. Hutchison, in
charge of the work here, ex-
pects no immediate effect from
the Federal shut dowiv as there
were only a few on the direct
relief rolls. Men who had been
judged unable to work and giv-
en direct relief will probably ap-,
ply for CWA work he states.
