Not going to tell you the name
of it but this coming Sunday, Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday one
of the greatest pictures of all
times will be at the Capitol Thea-
tre. Look it and by all means
don’t miss it, it’s sure a must.
Next Monday night at the High
School Gym a big bingo party, 5c
per card prize each game and then,
and then to the player winning
the most games a big sweepstakes
prize and be sure and play for
this one, it’s a beaut.
Monday next, the 16th, we start
making feathers fly. Please get
word around to our turkey pick-
ers. We need 200 pickers. We
must get our production up to
1200 birds a night. Won’t you
please help us.
Meridian’s turkey market opens
Monday for the last go round for
the boys and girls over there. If
you have any turkeys ready to go
bring them in, you will be agreably
surprised at the size of the check
you get for your turkeys this
year.
We should get caught up this
week. Joe Gus and his gang
rushing construction of modern
turkey hatchery. Smoky select-
ing his breeders, vacainating, blood
testing and banding and worming
this week.
We have already contracted
over 7000 head of turkeys for this
October deal.
See your county agent or your
neighbor who has tried raising 200
to 250 turkeys the new way and
see if you won’t be interested in
doing it next year. 250 head of
turkeys raised right will make the
raiser 1000 dollars clear this year
and not much work or trouble
either. We can prove this by
farmers in this county who are
and have done it this year.
By feeding one good feed of a
high protien turkey feed a day
and grain the rest of the day, four
to 4% pounds of feed will put on
a pound of turkey meat. By
feeding grain only it takes 12 to
14 pound of grain to make a
pound of turkey.
Starting next Sunday, we will
close our Ice dock at 10 a.m. and
Ice dock will close at 6 p.m. on
week days.
Sunday, 10 a.m. week days, 6
p.m. please make arrangements
to get your wants by these new
hours and give our gang a chance
to get some needed time off.
They have given you wonderful
service through the year. Please
help them now.
Again we must have pickers.

A Long Distance call is almost as good
as being there in person. Helps a lot
when there aren’t too many other calls
on the wires.
So whenever you can, please keep the cir-
cuits clear from 7 to 10 each night for
service men and women. Those evening
hours are their best chance to call from
camps and naval stations.

Mrs. Virginia Buchanan Hans-
hew was born July 19, 1861, in
Virginia and died at her home
Oct. 3, 1944 at 5 p.m.
She was married to Mr. J. C.
Hanshew, Nov. 22, 1876. To this
union, 12 children were born, 4
preceded her in death. The chil-
dren who survive are: W. K.
Hanshew, H. W. Hanshew and R.
M. Hanshew, Hico; Mrs. J. 0.
Thompson, Kopperl; Chief Rush
Hanshew, of the U. S. Navy, now
stationed at Shell Beach, La.; Er-
nest Hanshew, Mrs. L. F. Flanary
and Mrs. H. M. Lester, Iredell.
She is survived by 27 grandchil-
dren and 33 great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Hanshew was converted
and joined the Methodist church
at an early age, later uniting with
the Baptist church at Flag Branch,
where she attended regularly for
i over 30 years, until her health
began to fail.
Mrs. Hanshew was a good
Christian woman and did all the
good she could. She was a good
wife to her husband who preced-
ed her in death four years and 8
months ago and was a good moth-
er to her children who are left
and who will miss her so much.
Was also a good friend and neigh-
bor. All were her friends and all
loved her. When she was able
she would come to town on Sat-
urday afternoon and meet her
friends and which she enjoyed. I
know her for some time and re-
garded her as my friend. Her ill-
ness was long but she was patient.
From the life she lived before her
children, all know she is at rest
and free from sorrow, pain and
death.
All of her children were at her
bed side where the end came, ex-
cept one. They know they will
see their mother some sweet day.
The funeral of this good' wo-
man was held at the Baptist
church on Wednesday afternoon
at 4 p.m. She was 83 years, 2
months and 14 days old.
Rev. O. D. Carpenter, pastor of
the Hico Baptsit church, deliver-
ed the funeral message which was
nice. Was assisted by Rev. R. R.
Willingham, pastor of the Iredell
Methodist church. The pallbear-
ers were her grandson and the
flower girls were the grand-
daughters. The floral offerings
were beautiful.
Interment was made in the East
end cemetery, by her husband.
The out-of-town relatives who
attended: Mrs. Randal Flanary,
of Dallas; Misses Carrie Virginia
Burks and Jimmie Hanshew, Ft.
Worth; Mr. and Mrs. James Cav-
ness, Miami, Florida; Mrs. John
D. Smith, El Paso; Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Burks and family, Ireland;
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Clark and son,
of Meridian; Mr. and Mrs. D. C.
Davis and family, Kileen; Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Priddy, of Priddy, and
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lester and
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stokes, of
Hico.
The children have the sympa-
thy of their many friends in the
loss of their mother.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our
friends for the kind deeds

they

as we were. May God’s blessings
