Old Mother Nature played an
April Fool joke on folks Sunday
evening when the town was thrown
into a black-out when a rain and
windstorm swept the town. Hav-
ing rained practically all day, mak
ing it unpleasant for the lucky ones
with new Easter frocks and Mr.
Bunny Rabbit who thought he
should have been a duck found it
difficult to find a hiding place for'
the eggs he so beautifully paint-
ed. Yes, Sunday was an unusual
day in the calendar's 305 days.
First, it's been a long time since
Easter Sunday and April 1 fell on
the same day. It's been too long
for us to remember. The bells toll
for the Methodist revival which be
fcijan Sunday. Something individual
^is that their services are being held
each morning at 7:15. This never
happened before. Evening services
are at 8:00. . W. D. Moore had a
very unusual experience and quite
an honor happen to him while at
choir practice Thursday evening.
As you know there was a small
cloudburst. While trying to figure
a way to get to his car the Rev.
Dean Elkins pulled off his shoes,
waded to the car and diyive it up
to the door for him. . . . Mrs. L. .A
Hayden and son Charles admit the
song "Into Each Life Some Rain
Must Fall," is true, but think it's
going a bit too far when it's "trees"
if it was April Fool's Day
One can hardly believe it but nev-
er the less it's true, that one go-
ing to Texarkana goes at his «wn
risk. Old Man River is on a spree.
... By the way Abe M. Mays tells
this as a "Believe It or Not" story
You will have to solve it. Sunday
evening Ed Bluestein's lot fence
was blown down where the horses
were kept. After the storm, Abe
found Eddie's colt in his lot with
Billy Mays horse. Haw it got there
unless it swam in no one knows
because the fence is six feet high
and all the latches on the gates
were closed and no one put the
colt there. ... It all adds up to
one thing, if it hasn't happened in
dear old Atlanta, it hasn't hap-
pened.
* * •
A most pathetic sight seen Sun
day morning was poor "Cooky"
Mrs. Fred Thompson's bulldog
whose intentions were to go with
she and son Jimmy to Sunday
School. "Cooky" who followed the
car as far as town got lost and
starting looking every place for
them. By the way who's killing all
the dogs in Atlanta? The Ander-
sons lost their fine Sheppard dog
Monday when someone poisoned
him. The officers are tracing down
people who have bought poison at
the drug store and hope to make
an arrest soon. It is against the
law to poison dogs. If your neigh-
bor's dog bothers you, tell them
and don't kill the dog. Some have
blamed the rat poison put out by
Dewey Kennedy for killing their
dog but Mr. Kennedy says there is
not enough poison in the rat poison
to kill a dog immediately. Help
protect man's best friend—a dog.
• •
It's rfice to have Fried Manning
back in town. His daughter Mar-
garet thinks so too. It seems she
didn't know he was coming home
so when IV>p came in at wee late
hours Margaret wasn't awakened
but when she heard him coughing
^ it didn't take but a minute for her
^ to say "That's my Daddy."
• •
Speaking of car licence plates,
they too, have token a crazy no-
tion. W<> get only one for the price
of two. Comments from the folk*
are how they will ever recognizc
their enr without a number on the
front? It will be rather dangerous
having to go out into the street
to see the rear number. But that
• isn't g ing to worry us very much
because we could close our eyes
nnd recognize iour enr by feeling
the dents in the fenders. After all
Uncle Sam said save your tires and
the excess weight of one number
is that much.

Red Cross Quota
Is In Sight
With reports in from all but a
few white communities and contin-
ued good reports from the colored
I communities it seems that Cass
(county's goal of $lfi,000.00 will be
reached when all have reported.
During the week the following
communities reported quotas rais-
jed: Cave Springs, Liberty Grove,
jBivins, Dalton, Rocky Point, Queen
City, Mill Creek, Sardis, Cross
Roads, Shiloh, Flat Creek.
All community chairmen who
I have not reported are urged to com
|plete quotas and report at once so
final tabulation for the county can
be made.

Living Monuments
Some living monuments, some 35
years ago, I planted a 20 acre oro-
hard on my farm 2 miles east of
Hughes Springs. It did well for
several years, but of that large
orchard now only 1 apple tree and
about 15 pear trees are still living
and bearing fruit. This orchard
has paid me tetter than any other
crop for the amount of labor given
,it. This past year we canned about
! 300 quarts of these luscious pears.
Much land that is now available
would pay well if planted to pear
trees. 1 would advise planting at
least 100 Garber which ripens in
July and August, 100 Bartlett
which ripens about September 1st.
and 100 Kiefer which ripens in the
fall. You can find ready sale for
them to truck or canning factories.
For canning they should be care-
fully hand picked and put on shelv-
es in a cool place until they begin
to sweeten and get mellow then
can, properly canned and kept in
a cool dry place you will have fruit
to eat every day and to sell.
