House Cat Mothers Four Young Bob Cats
Shown above is a house eat mothering four baby bob cats. Rog
Elkins’ dogs killed a 22-pound bob cat last week. Mr. Elkins got
four young kittens belonging to the bob cat that was killed. He
took them to the Joe Brest wood home and turned them over to a
mother eat that had lost her kittens. The mother eat is doing a
good job of mothering and nursing the four motherless kittens.
The house cat has a natural bobbed tail and had sohie kittens
with bobbed tails. The young bob cats are pretty rough and often
times seem to be trying the patience of their adopted mother.

__________________________ BOWIE. TEXAS THURSDAY. JUNE 9. 1955 __
Rev. Warren McSwain was re-
appointed for one year to First
Methodist church in Bowie by
the 90th session of North Texas
annual conference of Methodist
churches, which was held in
Dallas last week-end. Hershel
Stephens attended the conference
as a delegate.
— Members ofthT' Bowie enngre- i
gation had. sent in letters urging
the return of Mr. McSwain to
Bowie. Both Rev.-and Mrs. Mc-
Swain are very popular in the
cotnmunity, both in the church
and with townpeople. The church
has shown a great growth under
his leadership and many im-
provements have been made in
the church plant. Church attend-
ance and loepl membership have
increased. Mr. McSwain has been
very active in civic affairs, par-
ticularly in work with the youth
of the community.

To Vote on
July 9th
Saturday, July 9th, has been
set as the date for voting on
the road bonds to provide the
money for purchase of right-of-
way for the making of highway
287 an-express-way through Mon-
tague county. Right-of-way will
be purchased, if the bonds carry,
for the highway through the
county with the exception of
tHafportion within the city of
Bowie. The state highway com-
mission has made no requests
for changes through Bowie.
County Commissioners court
met Tuesday for a hearing on
the bond vote. No one appeared
against the proposition so they
ordered the election held. This
county■—!tiaminitiiiioner'ii—diuti'iet
has been made a benefit road
district for the purpose of voting
_qn the... bonds. Only voters in
this district will vote on the is-
suance of the bonds. Two-thirds
of the voters voting must be in
favor of the bonds for them to
carry.
, The News has heard a number
of parties express themselves as
preferring the bond issue over
the' tax method which was voted
upon recently. As this district
has the heaviest assessed valua-
tion ' in the county it will be'
cheaper tp raise the money as
a district rather than through a
county tax. Another thing in
favor of the bond issue is that
when the bonds are paid off the
tax ceases while*it would take
special action to halt the tax
once it was voted.

their gills shrunk. The gen-
eral public had been • invited to
come to -the lake to get the fish
which were edible. The only re-
striction was that-all fish had to
be weighed in and a truck and
scales were there for that
purpose.
So far as it is known, Henry
McGaughy, fishing from a boat,
caught the largest fish that was
weighed in, being a 12 H pound
cat fish. An eight pound catfish
was hauled in. Several large
black bass, weighing around five
to six pounds were caught and
several large drum.
Corner Stone of Old Agriculture
Building Yields Box of Mementos
A metal box dug up in the
corner stone of the former agri-
cultural building the past week
contained several interesting
mementos. The old stone build-
ing was razed to make room for
a new grade school building,
The box was placed in the
corner stone at the time the
building was dedicated under the
auspices of the local Masonic
lodge on Dec. 20, 1939.
Strange to say, the copies of
Bowie newspapers, printed dn
newsprint, were in the best
condition of any of the documents
in the box. The cover of a
Bible placed in the box by the
Masonic lodge was in such bad
shape that the fly leaf could not
be separated from the cover.
" , the inside of the*Bible
was in good shape. Most of the
papers in the box seemed to
disintergrate, except the news-
papers.
A letter in a large business en-
velope contained the list of the
Bowie school faculty in 1939 but

most of it whs gone. It showed
that Walter B. Alexander was su-
perintendent of schools.
Other things in the metal box
included a Lions club pin, a Ma-
sonic tag with S. L. Greenwood's
name on it, a Royal Arch Masonic
coin, a Bowie jackrabbit ticket, a
number of coins, the business
card of M. Posey who was on the
board of education, National Press
club card of Cong. Ed Gossett,
who—delivered—the dedicatory
speech.
The Bowie newspapers- - - -
Bowie Blade and Bowie News - -
told about the new building being
a National Youth Administration
project. Tthe building cost $16,000
with the government providing
all,but $5,000 which was fufnish-
ed by the school district. The gov-
ernment also put in $3600 worth
of power machinery.
The building was for NYA
classes of the entire county with
Bowie being alloted 25 boys for
classes in wood, metal and shop
work. Boys, ages 18 to 24, were
eligible t# take the work offered.
