New Year Ushured

The usual noise making apparat-
us were silent this New Year's Eve
as Compared to former years when
the twelfth hour was reached,
only a few scattering Whistles and
bells were heard, with a six shoot-
ef popping off now and then.
Several parties were herd at var-
ious points in the city and a mid-
night frolic were observed at the
Select Theatre where a large
crowd gathered.
The chilly night prevented many
people from getting outside* and
doing what usually is done on New
Year's night in Mineola.

Gets Big Ten
Point Buck On
South Tex. Hunt
Venison and more venison is
what some of the friends of Jona-
than Russell, hunter de luxe, en-
joyed just after Christmas. Fine
broiled venison steaks or venison
roasts and the like were in vogue
due to the kindness of Mr. Rus-
sell.
Mr. Russell returned from a
trip to Crystal City, Texas, last
Saturday and brought with him
his kill. It was a fine ten point
buck. The buck was dressed and
frozen, here and then cut into
choice steaks and roasts by a local
market man. Mr. Russell was kind
enough to remember the Monitor
force with a portion of the veni-
son.
When asked how he felt when
the big fellow jumped up, Mr.
Russell said, "I was mighty scared
not of the buck but afraid that I
might miss the shot. After I hit
him the first time I continued
shdoting him. I don't know how
many times I shot."
The writer can testify that the
venison was excellent. Thanks
very much Mr. Russell. The Moni-
tor hopes you will hunt for deer
quite often.
