Remember DeLeon's annual
Peach and Melon Festival. These
folks work awfully hard and put
on one of the best • festivals
around.
The P&M Parade is
Wednesday and the free
watermelon slicing is Saturday.
What’s more refreshing than an
ice-cold slice of DeLeon
; watermelon on a hot summer day
\ in Comanche County!

Most of Comanche County
received another great rain last
week; some up to 7 inches.
I can’t even remember the
pastures looking this great going
into August.
We’re over 9 inches above
normal rainfall. Here’s hoping we
have a wet fall and continued
high cattle prices.

had a good time playing together
until I showed off how to crank
our T Model Ford. The blame
thing kicked back and broke my
arm. Dad took me to a doctor in
downtown Roby and that doctor
charged my dad, $ 10.00 to set my
arm. Can you imagine that! That
