1 The Football boys, basketball
girls and the pep squad of the
Celeste High School were enter-
tained on Monday night at the
High School Gymnasium with a
Mulligan Stew by the mothers
and friends of the participating
students. Several teachers were
present, who along with parents
and friends, congratulate the
various athletic groups on their
fine accomplishments during the
1952-53 season.
Clyde Heflin, president of the
presented
the Football boys with a hand-
some trophy on which was en-
graved the names of each mem-
ber of the squad. The trophy
was presented on behalf of the
Celeste Lions Club.

Swift’s hands, the other inter-
ests “got in ” fast.
Thus it was that despite the
big run the sheep were sold,
weighed and on their way in
about th same amount of time it
takes to handle one-third that
many. The White’lambs each
Spring are a highlight of the
season’s marketing at Fort
Worth and a good barometer of
how Texas lambs from the
McCullouch County section
have wintered and will sell.
Ten rail-car loads of big
horned South Texas stee¥s from
near Crystal City arived at Ft.
Worth late last week and aver-
aged 1200 lbs. They sold at
$17.25 and were shipped in by
& Wil
Ferguson Bros. Today this is
a newsworthy thing—ten cars
arriving on the market from
down in South Texas and all
from one owner. But years ago,
whole train loads of South Tex-
as cattle were not uncommon
Hunt Farmers
Organizing Farm
Pureau
A group of Hunt farmers
fnet at the Washington Hotel in
Greenville' on Thursday even-
ing, May 7, and organized
Hunt County Farm Bureau.
The county bureau will be affil-
iated with the Texas Farm Bu-
reau and the American Farm
Bureau Federation. The Farm
Bureau is the nation’s largest
farm organization.
Elected at the meeting
Thursday night as temporary
chairman was J. R. Stroope of
Caddo Mills. Temporary Secre-
tary and Treasurer is M. M.
Pruitt of Route 2, Greenville.
For the present, due to the
farmers being extremely busy
with their crops, membership
solicitation will be on a more
or less “slow’ basis, Mr. Stroope
said, with a concentrated mem-
bership drive at a later date.
A “checkup” meeting has been
arranged for Thursday evening
May 14, in the County Agent’s
office at Greenville. At this
meeting a date will be set for
completing the organization,
adopting a constitution and by-
laws and the election of direc-
tors.

resort luxury in their own backyard with a canvas “sun circle” de» ,
signed for sun bathing and outdoor lounging. The heavy white canvas i
is mounted on a base of steel tubing. The sun circle does, not have to )
be shifted as the sun moves; the girls merely change positions on the ;
canvas to follow the sun. This is one of the many modern designs m

Ft. Worth.—Sam Harris
Georgetown told us a tale about
a string of steers he sold on the
Fort Worth market last week
that gives about as graphic
an account of the cattle price
skid as you’ll ever hear.
Harris, a veteran livestock
man, reported that about two
years ago he bought about a
hundred steer yearlings at $41
per hundred. He wintered and
caked them and was bid $38 the
following Spring.
i This offer he turned down
but later he did sell the cattle
at $34. However, this was not
the end of the story by a long
shot. Harris later bought the
cattle back—at$22 per hundred.
Then this week he sold on the
Ft. Worth market the 104 steers
at $21.50 with 24 head at $19.
, Said he might just buy some
of ’em back, just to see what
would happen.
When a big run of livestock
appears on a market the tension

sales to set the market in mo-
tion. When the largest run of
the year showed up in the sheep
yards Monday, May 4, it was
tense fox’ this was also the big-
gest run locally since 1950.
Harry Butz, head sheep buyer
for Swift & Co., got on the
White Ranches lambs from Mc-
Culloch County, a big string of
over 2,000 fancy clipped lambs
x and in short order bought them
for $22.75, a new high for the
current crop. As word spread
over the yards the effect was
simiilar to the breaking of a
log jam — buyers from
Nebraska and Iowa as well as
other order buyers were active

Hunt County
Industrial Group
Meets Tuesday
The fourth monthly meeting
of the Hunt County Industrial
and Development Committee
was held in the Luncheon Club
room at Wolfe City on Tuesday
evening May 12. The commit-
tee, composed of the County
Judge and County Commission-
ers and the Mayors and City
Commisisoners of the cities and
towns in Hunt County. The
committee, the brain child of
Judge Gover, was organized in
February in an effort to encour-
age industrial development in
Hunt County by encouraging
industries to locate in the coun-
ty. At the February organiza-
tional meeting, Judge Gover was
elected chairman of the group.
At the Wolfe City meeting
Tuesday, thirty three members
^nd their guests attended the
gathering. The Wolfe City City
officials were hosts.
After the meeting was former-
ly called to order by Ula Bush,
Wolfe City Mayor, Judge Gover
presided and tendered his res-
ignation to group, giving as his
reasons, the pressure of his
duties as County Judge and to
the fact that it was his opinion
that an official of one of the
cities should be chairman. The
resignation was regretfully
accepted. Officers were then
elected as follows: Col. John
Miller, Mayor of Greenville, was
elected chairman; L. G. Dick-
son, Mayor of Commerce was
elected Vice-Chairman and
Tom Robnett, City Commission-
er of Wolfe City was elected
Secretary.

brand. Today about 95 percent
of the salable cattle come in by
truck, and in early days on the
market 99 per cent and more
were by rail. Times have
changed and in the process the
stockyards has had its face lift-
ed and a complete rearrange-
ment of the flow of livestock
has been completed.
