Hay Program
Bastrop County has been includ
j ed in the counties declared a dis-
aster area under Public Law 875.
Farmers and rancher? are Ireing
' forced to liquidate foundation
live stock due to the fact that it
: is becoming uneconomical to main
tain this livestock under the pre

: hay available at reasonable prices
| in order to encourage farmers and

for over all policy on this pro-
' gram and State and County PMA

'drought stricken counties based on
orders submitted through the
State PMA Committee: Under
this program legume hay is avail
able nt 00 per ton; mixed hay,
$ '2.oo and grass hay at $2N.0O.

COUNTY PIONEER
Laughing and leading in a dis
enssion on the political merits of
the presidential candidates with
• three of her children and ••«*v<,,ral
friend*, Mrs. Florence Little At
ktnson, who spent her life devot
ed to her family, politics, people
and animal -, passed away sudden
ly at noon, Wednesday, October
I L in the Fleming Hospital in El-
gin.
If nyked her age, Mrs. Atkinson
would invariably re phi', "Well,
; I'm just one day younger than
George WmdiingUm." Her tomb
stone in the Elgin Cemetery reads
'Born February 2.'t, 1866," which
i means she was H6 years old. Her
j youthful approach to life made
i her appear much younger.
Funeral services were held in
the McDade Baptist Church at
I 2 P. M. on Friday afternoon. Oc-
tober 2, before which her body
lay in state at the church from
j I P M. Mrs. Atkinson, who was
I a charter member of the McDade
Chapter of the Order of the Eas
i tern Star, was honored with an
Kastern Star service at the grave
I side in Elgin following the church
service*.
One of the highlights of her life
was when she saw her daughter,
luafutH. installed as the Worthy
j Grand Matorn of Missouri in
j U*4.'i, at which time she met the
president and his family.
Mrs. Atkinson wa born in Gaff
ney. South Carolina. Her father,
who came from Scotland, was a
direct descendant of the house of
Johnson, whose coat of arms was
money bag# and a feather. Her
patermal grandfather, John Tho
mas Little, came to Texas with
Stephen F. Austin and received
a land grant to the soil where
San Antonio is built and also one
in Richmond, Texas.
Having been reared by a colored
mammy who refused to leave the
plantation when the slaves were
freed, Mrs. Atkinson was always
a fervent Southerner and a
staunch Democrat. As a girl, she
attended Limestone College in
Gaffney, and was reputed to be
the "belle of the ball" in Charles
ton.
She married the late Dr. Den
nis C. Atkinson, who received his
interneship at Johns Hopkins.
With her husband, she came to
Texas in 1892 and settled in Bas
trop County. She was her bus
band's helpmeet during all those
years nursing, tending and feed-
ing those who sought her bus
band's aid. Eor eleven years she
and her husband lived in Beau
kiss, Rogers' Park, and Elgin,
but finally settled in McDade.
where she made her home until
her death.
After her husband died on Jan
uary 18, 15110, she was left with
the care of *ix children, three
boys and three girls. Two months
later, her evonth child wa born.
These children, al! of whom are
living, are Hilda M. Atkinson of
Irving; Juanita E. Mauss of Kan
sas City. Mo.; J. T. (Pete) Atkin
son of Dallas; E. Vaughn (Red
