THE SHACKELFORD COUNTY LEADER
My Column
MRS. C. C. CADY
I
While Moran citizens were re-
joicing in the good news of Victory !
they were also saddned at the
death of two esteemed citizens who I
hail resided here for a long time.!
Across the street from each other, {
they both lay dangerously ill for |
several weeks. Mrs. M. E. An-1
drews passed away Tuesday morn- '
ing at the home of her sister. Mrs.!
Sallie Wise. Lingering only by a i
thread for several days, the end
came Thursday early afternoon for
Mrs. Mary E. Townsend. one of the
must substantial citizens of the
community. She took her bed July
3 and after spending two weeks in
Htndrick Memorial hospital in
Abilene, without improvement, she
was moved home and relatives had
been watching at her bedsiue. A
more extended account of her life
will appear in next week's paper.

Prayer and Thanksgiving servi-
ces for the community were held
at the Baptist church on Wednes-
day evening, celebrating our vic-
tory and end of World War II.
Rev. Truman Aldridge, visiting
pastor, gave a forceful sermon on
God's Atomic Bomb, prophesy in
the Book of Daniel, which is the
world's great need. God's power
omnipotence, omnipresence, con-
stituting all scientific knowledge
is leady to be used for peace. All
heads were bowed in grateful
thanks, for we know that only with
His help and His power could we
win. Moran quietly observed the
surrender, all business houses were
closed Wednesday and Thursday

Moran Deputy Sheriff Emory
Morris was greeting friends down
town Tuesday morning for the first
time since his misfortune of July
22. Emory was in good spirits and
we are happy to report he was
looking like his former self and We
hope his recovery will be perman-
ent.
Business men of Moran are
awaiting the official notice from
President Truman announcing the
Japanese surrender and will close
their places of business for V-J
Day. The fire siren will sound the
hour and all will observe the day.
Ministers have announced their
churches will remain open for
prayer and thanksgiving through-
out the day.
We have a nice fat calf for the
week-end. Visit our meat market
for good beef for Sunday dinner.
