1859 ELECTION RUMORS
BAFFLE COUNTY VOTERS
TWER TATTLE
By MOLLY
The Tigers extend their deepest
sympathy to their schoolmate and
friend, Carroll Magee, in the loss
of his father, G. E. M'agee.
Our Friendswood game was dedi-
cated to Mr. Magee and the boys
certainly went all the way. We're
really proud o'f them.
The Tigers travel to Sugar
Land Friday night to meet the
Gators, their toughest opponent
of the season. But with Coach
Akins and Coach Labay sitting
on the sideline and the students
behind the team, the boys will
be out there fighting all the way.
The girls basketball team will
go to Boling for a practice gamo
Tuesday night.
The senior boys sure seem to like
the principal's office. 'Jhey go in
every day at lunch and listen to
the radio!
Thanks, Mr. Nelson, for the
candy machine in the hall. We
think it's the greatest.
Warning; Beware of the Tigers
Wednesday night—it's Hallowe'en!
- And this week's most popular
words are "Tigers, please go all
the way over Sugar Land."
The Tiger band went to Edna
Saturday to perform in the parade,
and some of the twirlera entered
in a twirling contest also.

1957
MERCURY
AT
ANDERSON BROS.
By MRS. G. C. McELRATH
Politics in 1859 or 1956 run
parallel in the fact that politicians
seeking office desire publicity
from their newspapers.
According to a news report put
out by a Matagorda County pub-
lication, politics in the year 1859
brought a heated discussion any
time two or more men got to-
gether on the streets, in business
houses, or in their homes.
A. C. Horton was governor of
Texas at that time and, according
to rumors, he was wanting I. N.
Dennis elected to the legislature.
It was told that Governor Hor-
ton had purchased the paper's sup-
port. No sooner this rumor was
started than a flat denial came
forth from the lopal publication.
The story was branded "A dirty
falsehood." Finally it was stated
that the report got started for the
purpose of confusing voters.
Citizens were hearing so many
things, it was hard for them to
know just what to believe. Some
said they were not going to the
polls because they were too mixed-
up to vote!
Look At Facts
The paper urged the voters to
examine the facts for themselves
and not heed any false rumors
which were probably started to
arise prejudice against Mr. Dennis.
Whatever may have been the
reason, the county publication as -
sured the honest and truth loving
citizens of |Matagorda County that
the report was ungrounded and
false and for them to straighten
out their jumbled thoughts and go
to the polls election day and vote
their true sentiments.
Railroad Taxes
Another grave problem o'f dis-
cussion in 1859 was should Mata-
gorda County along with a few
Frank Montagues
Win Expense Paid
Trip To Dallas
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Montague
will be in Dallas this week-end to
see the T. C. U.-Baylor game and
to take in the road version of
"Oklahoma!"
The four-day all expense paid
trip was awarded Mr. 'Montague
by Amicable Insurance after the
Bay Citian joined the Half Million
Dollar Club.
To gain' membership in the or-
ganization, Mr. Montague had to
sell at least $50,000 in insurance
over a one-year period.-
ALVIN TILT—
(Continued From Page 1)
Thomas, 7-6. Bay City has beaten
Brenham, 7-6; Edna, 28-0; Boling,
34-7, and Wharton 21-19.
Pass Defense Work
In work-outs this week, the
Black Cats are concentrating on
pass defense and generally polish-
ing up their ground and pass at-
tack.
Dyal can throw a pretty good
pass but isn't in the same class
with Muniz.
Prime reason for the work on
pass defense was the way Alvin
unleashed a pass attack to tie
French High a couple of weeks
ago. !
Bay City coaches who scouted
the El Campo- Alvin game said the
Rice Birds had to take to the air
to get their attack rolling.
Alvin has back seven lettermen,
three of whom were regulars last
year.
Heaviest m*>n on the team are
Tackles George Franzen and J«hn
ny Woo3ter. Both weigh about 190
pounds and were starters last
year.
End Cordon Welch is the third
1955 regular to return this year.
Other lettermen are Glenwoodie
Farris, David Roberts, Robert
Ryan, and Don Wissner.
CRUCIAL WHARTON GAME
A second crucial Longhorn Con-
ference football ^ame is set in
Wharton Thursday night when the
Wharton ,Oounty Junior College
Pioneers play the Tyler Apaches
beginning »t. 7:30 o'clock, Tyler,
the favorite, has won five, tied
one, and lost one.
other counties to be taxed to build
railroads.
So, far well over a century,
Matagorda County citizens have
been concerned with politics—lo-
cal, state, and national.
Before voters go to the polls to
cast their ballots, they should
thoroughly read political articles
in both local and national publica-
tions and take note of what has
gone on in the past.
For it is a fact, the vote we cast
in 1956 will not only affect our
present generation, but the genera-
tions that come after us.

Biggest Football Game In Four Years
Set Tuesday At 19 County Playing Fields
Fans, you will get a chance to
participate in the biggest and most
important football game played in
the past four years next Tuesday.
Matagorda County playing fields
will be in 18 communities and the
football will be your ballot. You
can try an end sweep for Eisen-
hower or a quarterback sneak for
Stevenson. We don't care what
signal you call, but don't forfeit
the game by not showing up at
one of the 19 playing fields.
And don't 'fumble the ball by not
reading the eight proposed amend-
ments carefully. As your armchair
quarterback we recommend you
call positive signals on constitu-
tional amendments four and seven.
Amendment four applies to the
teacher retirement system and
number seven deals with the com-
mitment of persons of unsound
mind.
See YOU at the polls.

Talk about auto - suggestion,
Frank Baten, Bay City quarter-
back, was visiting his mother in
the hospital after a rough after-
noon of football work-outs when
he suddenly realized he had been
injured in scrimmage.
The doctors took one look at
his banged up leg and wouldn't
let him leave the place. Frank's
dad reports the injury was a
charley-horse and that no bones
were broken.
Well, if you gotta get sick,
we can't think of a better place
to do it in than in the hospital!
* * *
Warren Hart, erstwhile presi-
dent of the Bay City Anglers Club,
went fishing the other day. After
a fruitless session in the bay, he
returned despondently to where he
had left his boat trailer and found
it with the flattest flat imagin-
able.
*Never more," quoth Warren
ravin'. His fishing rig is up for
sale now. We tried to interest him
in a NEJWS classified but with no
success, so we'll give him a free
plug here: anyone need some good
fishing equipment?
* * •
Still on the subject of rod and
reel, the Anglers Club monthly
meeting is tonight (Thursday)
at 7:30 o'clock in the Service
Center.
A film on fishing Is scheduled.
Club officials are still interested
in acquiring new members, so
drop by the center, see a good
movie, and join the organization.
* * •
We broke the news of Bay City
being invited to participate in the
El Campo Milk Bowl in this
column last week. Since that time
there have been several new de-
velopments.
First, the name of the bowl has
been changed. The more fitting
title for the affair is the Rice
Bowl. And, secondly, an active
ticket campaign is going to be
launched here by the Bay City
Junior Chamber o'f Commerce.
All proceeds over $150 raised by
the Jaycees will be split with the
Bay City Junior High School. That
first $150 will be used to defray
expenses engaged in suiting up a
team of youngsters for the De-
cember 1 game.
* « *
After two rough games, the
Black Cats are going to get an
easy night (comparatively) Fri-
day when they play Alvin there.
We just got a letter from C. B.
Koland, former Bay City coach
and now head mentor of the Al-
vin team. Let's see. Says here
the Yellowjackets have a three
won, three lost, and one tied
record.
That's a pretty even season.
Maybe the Black Cats can help
them drop below the .500 per-
centage mark tomorrow night.
* * *
The Black Cats played the hard-
est they have this season against
St. Thomas last week. If it weren't
for those fumbles, we would pick
the team to go all the way in Dis-
trict 12-AAA this season.
Still, either LaMarque or EI
Campo is liable to get an unpleas-
ant night at the hands of Haley's
warriors. A win over either of
these teams ought to put the Black
Cats in second place at the end of
the season.
