I Uncle Bill Wright
82 Years Old Today
C. C. Hoover passed away at the
Henderson hospital Thursday af-
ternoon where he had been placed
with the hope that the end might
be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Hoover was born August 21,
1861 and had lived practically all
his life In the New Salem commu-
nity where he reared a splendid
family.
Mr. Hoover was by nature a
quiet and unassuming person. A
man who attended to his own af-
fairs and accorded to his fellows

ten, “Aunt" Rebecca Goodlett of
Henderson who is now 86; and
Miss Nannie Wright of Nacog-
doches, who is 78 yean of age, all
of whom are enjoying splendid
health for those of their ages.
C. C. Hoover Is
Claimed by Death
for their own happiness according
to the dictates of their consciences.
The deceased was a good citi-
zen, a kind and thoughtful neigh-

munity activities.
Surviving are the wife, four
sons, Dr. W. W. Hoover of HamU-

Monnie Hoover of Hendenn, one
daughter, Mrs. Earnest Washburn

Interment was held at the Mays

Jesse N. Phillips of Henderson.
The curb market in Henderson,
sponsored by the Chamber of
Commerce, has proved very satis-
factory to Rusk country truck
growers, who have been market-
ing their products here on Tues-
days and Fridays throughout the
summer.
The market still Is In oper-
ation and there has been a recent
increase in variety of products—
more fresh vegetables coming to
town than the housewives have
been able to take.
Large assortments will be on
display each Tuesday and Friday
for several weeks and “more cash
customers’* are invited.

Mrs. Maggie Kelley
Is Called by Death
Today, Sunday, August 2nd,
marks the passing of the eighty-
second mile post in life’s Journey
for W. H. Wright of Henderson.
Mr. Wright was born just a few
miles northeast of Henderson In
1850. All of these years have been
spent within the confines of Rusk
county.
For many years he was an ac-
tive busines man in Henderson,
and during his business career
formed acquaintances throughout
Rusk county and today is affec-
tionately called “Uncle Bill” by
his legions of friends. His long
life has been marked with a de-
gree of simplicity. A strong be-
liever in the tenants of the Chris-
tian religion, which he has always
attempted to put into practice.
Mr. Wright is now enjoying the
companionship of his six daugh-
ters and two sons, together with
that of one brother, Cole Wright
of Henderson who is 76; two sls-
Mrs. Maggie Kelly, wife of Jim
Kelly died at the family home six
miles south of Henderson Friday
afternoon.
Deceased was born in Georgia
December 23, 1875, and came to
Rusk county when a young lady
and was married to Jim Kelly.
She was a splendid Christian
woman, kind and thoughtful of
everyone with whom she came In
contact. Her death came p.s a
surprise to her many friends for
she was only sick a few days.
Funeral services were held Sat-
urday morning at Bethel, ser-
vices being conducted by Evange-
list Wells, long* a friend < of the
family.
are speeding up plans to have ev-
Preparatlons are going forward
to make arrangements to take
care of the children of All new-
comers in the next school term, it
was reiterated yesterday by C. O.
Pollard, school superintendent.
Mr. Pollard, with F. W. Hub-
bard, chairman of the board, had
Just returned from Austin, where
both conferred with . state de-
partment officials.
It was learned there that the
High school will come out about
$1,000 loser on high school tuition
fees during the past year. This
comes as a result of the supreme
court ruling children of more
than 17 years of age over the
limit under the scholastic law—
and there were many transfers
from surrounding districts of high
school students over tnat age.
Free tuition had been promised
these students, so the local schools
will have to stand hitched on the
promise. The department is un-
able to reimburse the ‘ local dis-
trict.
The extra High School tuition
fees received from the department
total approximately $3,200. Thir-
ty-two students were added to the
supplementary rolls.
Henderson Nigh school has re-
. ceived an extra-half-polnt currlcu-
[ lum credit for its work in occupa-
tional courses.
Plans for caring for the extra
360 students who have moved here
since the oil boom call for several
extra temporary class rooms.
Plans for devising these and
equipping them are being worked
out now and will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the time school opens.
Of the 360 new pupils, more
than half are from out of Texas
points, and transfer scholastic pur
capita apportionments cannot be
had on these. y ’
AU in all, the prospects for the
coming school year are most en-
couraging and school authorities
Finally convincing them that he
was the son of a poor leather
worker, and they could not expect
ransom, the trio released the
youth.
He was picked up, dazed and
taken to his home by a farmer.
Physicians were treating him
for the bums and shock today.
Although painfully injured, he is
not seriously hurt, they say.

O “SUCCESSOR TO KANGERGA’S” JO
HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 1 (UP)
—Two men and a woman kidnap*
ed 15-year-old Jack Bowles here
last night, gagged and blindfold-
ed him, drove him to a vacant
house, and beat and burned him
in an effort to find out if any
of his relatives would pay ran-
som for his release.
The high school youth was on
his way to a drug store whbn a
car driven by the red headed wo-
man drew alongside ard one of
the men asked him for directions
to get to a certain street.
As he stood alongside the car,
he was Jerked into the automobile,
tied, gagged and blindfolded.
Taken to a vacant house, a rope
thrown over the rafters and tied
to his wrists, keeping him sus-
pended, barely able to touch the
floor with the tips of his toes.
While the woman looked on the
men beat him with a rope, and
burned him with the lighted en^
of cigatets.
