Little Damage From Rain; San
Saba River Crossing Damaged
Calf Creek, Tex., Sept. 22.—The
long looked-for rain came and how!
Some say it rained seven inches
and some say nine inches. Any-
way it was fine. The pastures are
greening, the sudan and Johnson
grass are growing fast, which will
enable fine pasturage for stock.
We are glad to report little dam-
age from high water in our com-
munity. Probably a water gap or
two down. The San Saba river was
higher (between 25 and 30 feet)
than it had been since 1899. There
was considerable damage done to
the bridge at the Calf Creek and
Hext crossing, preventing any trav-
el at all for more than a week.
Cotton picking is being resumed
and clear weather is needed now
about as badly as the rain was
needed.
About 30 attended church and
Sunday school Sunday afternoon.
Rev. E. C. Brazil filled his regular
appointment.
School started Monday morning.
There were 18 pupils enrolled.
Quite a number of patrons and the
trustees were present. They en-
joyed the nice talk by Mr. Com-
mander. The pupils started off on
what we hope and believe will be
a successful school term.
Mr. and Mrs. Dock Kerr of El-
dorado, visited relatives here and
at Hext Monday and Tuesday of
last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Bradshaw
returned from Eldorado, Saturday,
Mrs. Bradshaw having been visit-
ing relatives there for the past two
weeks while Mr. Bradshaw had
been there since Tuesday of last
week.
Guy Sallec's father, 0. P. Sallee,

lee of Tulsa, Oklahoma, are here
