Prayer pulls the rope below, and
the great bell rings above in the
ears of God. Some scarcely stir
the bell for they pray so languid-
ly; others give but an occasional
pluck at the rope. But he who
wins with Heaven is the man who
grasps the rope boldly and pulls
continuously, with all his might.—
Spurgeon.
One of the nicest places to visit
in the country round-about is in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee.
Goddin, especially to eat. I know
that I have bragged on a lot of
cooking in my time, and I was hon-
est about it, but I know that I am
inclined to favor the last place
that I had the privilege of eating.
Considering all these angles, I still
say there is something distinctive
about Mrs. Goodin’s cooking, es-
pecially her home made ice cream.
It tastes like it had all the butter
fat from a good sized cow whappea
up in every dish; and everyone was
so worried about me; I slept like
a baby. Thanks, Leta and Lee, for
thinking of us on these special oc-
casions. (Actually, she does cook
her ice cream, I understand.)
We have located some storage for
grain sorghums and hope to be able
to take care of-your needs for this
year’s crop. We will also be in the
market to purchase sorghums.

I knew a person one time that
didn’t get along with his wife, his
wife’s folks didn’t get along with
his folks, and the other way
around. He didn’t get along with
his neighbors, and except for mak-
ing money, never did accomplish
any position in his community.
When he died, his folks sat on
one side of the building and glared
at her folks on the other side, etc.
No friends came to bid his spirit,
the last adieu. Most of his money
had been made at the expense of
others. In thinking about how lit-
tle it meant to his present journey,
it seemed such a mocking thing:
He had been the spark that had
started the fire of hate between,
the two families. He had been a
hard man, so to speak, and it was
paying off in dividends of the
same kind. Reaping after the kind
that was sown.

he slipped and fell. The fall in
turn caused him to be paralyzed
for about six weeks, but he recover-
ed in fine shape.
Lucky has been laid to rest be-
neath Mr. and Mrs. Harrell’s
bed room window and thus has
ended a relationship between a dog
and its masters that can be shared’
only by those who have had dogs
such as he. Yes, most obituaries
are written about people, but this
one has been about a dog that has
been a part of of our town for the
past twelve years.

H-H Club Meetings
Held This Week
A night meeting has been held
during the past week in each of
the local schools throughout Car-
son county for 4-H Club boys, girls
and their parents.
An effort is being made to stim-
ulate interest on the parents’ part
for 4-H Club activities.
Two movies were shown after
informal discussions by the par-
ents, Miss Charlotte Tompkins
and Foster Whaley. Both are in
charge of 4-H work in this coun-
ty.
The movies were entitled, “To-
morrow’s Leaders” and “A Stitch
in Time”. The first named was
an inspirational film showing
accomplishments of 4-H activi-
ties. The latter was a farm
safety film that has been shown
in this county before, and was
well received.
Plans for a county-wide 4-H
Club Christmas party were dis-

breeders, judges and inspectors of
quarter horses together to crysta-
ize their ideas as to what consti-
tutes a good quarter horse. At the
present time, there is a great deal
of variation in the thinking of
this group as to what type the
quarter horse should have and it
is hoped that the conference will at
least set in motion ideas or plans
that may help breeders develop
the best possible horse for its in-
tended purpose, Dana, adds.
The first meeting will be held at
1 p. m. on Friday, October 28,
with a discussion of what consti-
tutes a good quarter horse.
Speakers for the conference will
include Dr. J. K. Norway, Kang
। Ranch, Kingsville, Texas; D. W.
J Williams, vice chancellor for agn-
, culture, Texas A. & M. College
System; Dr. J.C. Miller, head of
the animal husbandry departments
Dr. A. A. Lenert, school of vet-
erinary medicine,' Texas A. & M.
The premier showing of the
colored movie, “The American
Quarter Horse” will feature the
Friday night program. Saturdaly
morning there will be a quarter
horse judging contest for all those
attending and a cutting and
reining exhibition will follow the
judging contest.

buying even an ice cream cone,
Mr. and Mrs. Glynn D Harrell
bought a dog in Amarillo for ten
dollars, later known to many of
Groom’s residents as “Lucky.”
Lucky is gone now. He was run
over last week by a truck, October
14th to be exact.
When Mr. and Mrs. Harrell de-
cided to get a dog for a pet, they
scanned the newspapers for leads.
They read about a dog to be giv-
en away at 1300 Belaire in Amaril-
lo and had decided to call the pet
Lucky if they could get him. When
they arrived, however, the dogs
had already been given away so
a short time later, they read about
some Dachounds being offered for
sale. They bought Lucky and thus
a part of Groom was brought into
being.
Lucky was not an extraordinary
dog. He lived and ate the same as
all others do, but with his pass-
ing goes a certain feeling shared
by many that something is miss-
ing. He was as much a part of
Mr. Harrell’s business as any of
its numerous fixtures. He was as
much a part of the sidewalk in
front of the store as the curb it-
self. He was as much a part of
the Harrell family as any of its
member. When at home, he was
everything from playmate to foot
stool and when at the store, every
salesman, every youngster and
every other person who knew him,
checked on his welfare daily as if
he were a human being. Lucky
was known to many as the dog the
city built the sidewalks too close to.
Not long after Lucky arrived
in Groom, he became lost and the
town turned upside down trying
to find him. It was Bert Berres
who saw him on the north side of
town “drifting with the sand”.
