The meeting planned for Prairie

Maxey is still running his meeting
at Molsbee Chapel, and the people
are going there, so the Prairie Point

The revival meeting at the Church
of the Brethren is progressing nice-
ly. Fifteen have taken their stand
for Christ up to this time. The
meeting is being well attended. On
last Sunday night the church was
crowded and at least two hundred
people were on the outside that
could not be seated inside. Evangel-
ist Fred E. Maxey is doing the
preaching and App Molsbee has
charge of the singing. Evangelist
Maxey said this morning that the
meeting would probably close next
Sunday night. They will bave the
baptizing on Monday morning, and
the Love Feast at the Church on
Monday evening. This is the seven-
th revival that Bro. Mexey has held
at the Church of the Brethren and
he was also pastor of the church for
three years. As stated before in
these columns, this is a union re-
vival, people of all denominations
invited to take a part in the serv-
ices. According to reports from some
attending these meetings, they are
being well attended by people from
Ringgold, Belcherville, Prairie Point,
Nocona and other points.

According to a report by Frank
E. Jackson. Nocona is to have a
Government Licensed Amateur
Radio Station within the near fu-
ture.
Frank has been a radio enthusiast
for the past five or six years and
has attended the Chenier Radio and
Electric School of Beaumont, Texas,
where he made an enviable record
while there. It was while attending
this school that Frank lacked only
two words of setting a new world
record for code reception speed.
It was probably due to his
thorough training in operation of
radio transmitting apparatus that
secured his license for portable
station W5CPG which shall be lo-
cated here. Frank is also thorough-

The first bale of 1932 cotton was
brought to Nocona on Thursday of
last week, August 18, by C. L. Wea-
ver, who lives about 1 1-2 miles
north of Nocona.
The seed cotton for this first
bale weighed 1250 pounds and turn-
ed out 443 pounds of lint. It was
ginned free by the McDonald Gin
of this city, and sold to J. H. Cone
for 7.05 cents per pound.
The first bale came in this sea-
son six days earlier than last year,
when it arrived on August 24. The
first bale last year was brought in
by R. H. McCubbins. 7 miles north
of town. It weighed 505 pounds and
was bought by Grady Fooshee for
6 1-4 cents per pound.
Dick Jackson, public weigher, who
weighed the bale free of charge,
made up a premium totaling $33.25,

Address by Fire Crief J. L. Mc-
The following dispatch from Aus-
tin to the daily press' indicates that
the State Highway Commission is
going ahead with their plans for
early construction of roads in this
county, taking for graned that
their recent new offer to the county
as published in The News, will be
accepted and the right-of-way
furnished. The general opinion in
the county seems to be that an
election on the new liberal offer
would carry easily.
Austin, Aug. 20.—A highway pro-
gram centering in Montague Coun-
ty, “involving seven projects, all of
which have been authorized by the
Highway Commission, will soon be
under way, officials of the depart-
ment declared here today. Surveys
already have been made, bids for
construction of one or more units
have been advertised for and right-
of-way is now being obtained on
other units. Contracts likely will be
let at the commission’s Spetember
meeting if the right-of-way is as-
sured by that time. The projects
include:
Construction of Highway No. 5 in
Clay, Montague and Cooke Coun-
ties, with 100-foot right-of-way on

)NTAGUE COUNTS
A considerable decrease in the
amount of cotton to be produced in
Texas this year is indicated by the
Southland Life crop report for July
and August as compiled by the
Department of Public Relations.
Three important factors are respon-
sible for this development:
(1) There has been a very con-
siderable decline in the cotton crop
in East Texas because of deteriora-
tion caused by hot weather and dry
soils.
(2> The cron in Southeast Texas,
r'neciallv in counties near the Gulf,
was consfderablv injured by the
storm of August 13th.
*3' And finally, bool worms, wee-
vils, grasshoppers and a number of
other enemies to cotton have in-
,lined the crop in other sections.
These, of course, are in addition
‘c the decreased crop brought about
bv agitation for decreased cotton
acreage.
Reports indicate, finally, that
there has been a little more aban-
donment cf inferior crops than was
exneeted.
Business conditions appear to be
the most hopeful for many months
although, with very few exceptions,
none are reported normal. In the
main. a spirit of optimism has tak-
en place of the pessimistic attitude
prevalent earlier in the year. Al-
most without exception, farmers
are reported as better than ever
before in their history fortified for
the Winter except as to real cash.
All reports indicate that the crop
this year has been produced at the
smallest price in the history of
Texas.
