ALBANY WILL WELCOME Hereford
linifan Saturday of Uii* weak, who will b«
bora for the Blanton Cattle Co. auction (ale of
registered Hereford*. Thi will make the tec-
and lint* Albany has entertained cattlemen
in 1946, the first sale being the Sedwick auc
tioa January 26. Albany has long been known
aa "The Home of the Hereford," and cattle
breeders everywhere know that the heit Here-
fords will be found in Shackelford county.
Albany people will join the Blanton family
in entertaining the visitors Saturday.
Seventy-four females and hulls will he of-
fered in this sale. The cattle are already at
the Shackelford County Hereford Breeders
Association sale barn, where the auction is to
b« hold beginning at 1:00 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon.
THB NEWS received a letter last week .from
Brigham City, Utah, addressed to the "Oldest
Journalistic Venture West of the llrazos, Albany,
Texas." The letter was from Lt. Mack Castle-
berry, who was recently transferred from Mcl'los-
key at Temple to Bushnell General Hospital at
Brigham City. Mack wanted his Albany News sent
to his new address.
Keep (tlugKing, Mack. We're betting on you, and
look for you home this summer.
THE OLD ALBANY NEWS FILES are very
interesting reading, and in them we find the
history of West Texas. This week we find, in
ths February, 1686, file, this statement:
"The News would like to know why the Baird
road isn't opened clear through."
Gosh, we didn't know they started the Baird
road project 'way back in those day*.
Wall, anyway, the Stata Highway Depart-
ment has let the contract for the completion alf
the Baird road, and contractors are moving in
to bagin the work.
The men and their families who are to be
employed on the job are coming in, looking (or
places to stay, and so far, there just aren't any.
This is an appeal to Albany people: if you
have a bed room, or can arrange an apartment,
it would greatly benefit Albany right now, and
would be appreciated by these people who are
trying to find places to live. They come to the
News office every day, and in desperation, we
send them to Miss Ollie Clarke at the Cham-
ber of Commerce dffice.
THOSE HOLES around the court house square
thnt are being dug are for pecan trees. This is one
of Judge Bill Blanton'a projects, The trees are to
be native, dug up around the Clear Fork, and trans-
planted.
Doug Newcomb has been digging the holes, and
for a few days he had a hard time working. Every-
body who came by stopped him and told him how
to plant pecan trees.
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING events
Albany has witnessed in a long time was the
4-H club calf show and sale last Saturday at
the sale barn. Ten well-fitted calves com-
peted for more than $250.00 in prizes offered
by local ranchman. Alvice Parrish of Moran,
with a Clarence Clay calf, won grand cham-
pion honors, and James Martin, with a Lamb s
Head ranch calf, showed the reserve cham-
pion.
County Agent W. C. Vines, who has worked
with his 4-H club boys all year, was made hap-
py by the fine interest in the show, and the
large crowd. He hopes to have more club
boys feeding calves this next year, and be has
the hacking of ranchmen.
Four of the calves are to be carried to the
Abilene and Fort Worth shows, and we're
predicting the Shackelford county calves will
make good showings in competition with otber
clubs over the state.
WE HAD TROUBLE working last Friday. The
reason was that the Masonic lodge barbecued some
beef in the alley between the News office and the
lodge building, with John Smith, the artist, in
charge. The delicious aroma permeated the News
office all day. Nothing makes us as hungry as the
smell of barbecue cooking.
NEW AND RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
this week include:

Everyday Religion
(By Rev. J. B. Thompson)
The Glory of the Commonplace
Jesus glorifies life's every day
experiences, tie wraps a mantle
of beauty over our casual rela-
tionships. The warmth of a hearth-
stone where love radiates its mel-
low glow. Fragrant friendships
that blossom like (lowers along the
way. Words of encouragement
and a cheery handclasp from a
fellow traveler on the journey of
life. Nameless little acts of kind-
ness hen- and there that make life
glad and good.
These all become, not only
meaningful but divinely sacred in
his holy estimate of life. Our joy,
and our sorrows; our hopes and
our fears; our achievements and
our failures, are divine event*
under the watchful eye of :i «ra

Br BOYCE HOUSE
Every town has its share of re-
markable people and unusual per-
sonalities.
Ranger had a dieter. (There
may not have been such a word,
but there is now). He was a hearty
eater and, every six months, he
would decide he was overweight,
so he would go two weeks without
anything except orange juice, At
the end of his fast, he hastened to
the family style hotel (meals 50
cents) and the landlady groaned
as she saw him approaching. He
would eat enough for six men at
that first meal and in three weeks
he wa back to his original weight.
The Tickville Band added to
Ratiger's renown. Tlii. aggrega-
tion of music-maulers consisted of
some of the leading citizens a
physician; the cashier of the bank;
the assistant superintendent of a
gasoline plant and a dentist. The
doctor wa featured in a ukelele
number and the cashier shone in
what was announced as being
"The Double Eagle March" and
the gasoline plant official went to
town with thimbles on a wash-
hoard but the climax always came
when the dentist became entang-
led in the strings of the bull fid-
dle and had to be extricated.
The town was the home of an
oil well shooter (he made the ni-
troglycerin that he set off in
charges of 100 or even r>00
quarts), and of oil operators, for
the field witnessed moderate ac-
tivities for years after the big
boom, and of old-time drillers who
told tall tales in front of the G hoi -
son hotel, a.s they perched on an
iron railing.
The proprietor of the most pop-
ular confectionery was an old-time
minstrel man who had toured the
United States and the Orient. The
president of the bank was a busy
man for the hotel he owned was
the telegraph office and bus sta-
tion and his cafe was the meal
stop for all the buses running
through Ranger and still is. The
picture show proprietor had a cat
that ate hot cakes and was a con
firmed picture show fan but al
way walked out if Mickey Mouse
wa.- shown. And the tire chief
bad a pet duck that followed him
when he came up town, the crea
tun waddling along half a dozen
paces behind and stopping when
the chief stopped.
