Attend Austin Wedding
Several from Seymour were in
Austin last week to attend the
wedding of Miss Jannelle Golden,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Golden of that place. Joe Bob
Golden is the son of Mrs. A. H.
Golden of Seymour, and he was
reared in Baylor County. In fact,
his first teaching was in the old
Cache Creek school. Later he be-
came one of the leading educators
of the state, and still is.
Miss Golden married Lawrence
Henry Warburton. Jr., in a double
ring ceremony that was solemnized
in the University Christian church
of Austin on Sept. 3rd. It was quite
an elaborate wedding, and one of
the flower girls was Judith John-
son, daughter of Mrs. Janet John-
son of Seymour. Mrs. Johnson is
an aunt of the bride.
The guest list from Seymour in-
cluded the two mentioned above,
together with Mrs. A. H. Golden
and Mr. and Mrs. Emitt Golden.
Mr. and Mrs. Oats Golden went
from Munday, and the rest of the
Golden children and members of
their families attended from var-
ious points over the state.
The bride attended North Texas
State College at Denton and grad-
uated from Midwestern University.
The groom is a graduate of the
University of Texas, and engaged
in many important activities dur-
ing his college years. Since his
graduation he has also held posi-
tions of honor, including his mili-
tary service. Recently he received
the appointment as assistant dis-
trict attorney at Alice, where lie
and bride will live. Also. Mrs.
Warburton will serve on the fac-
ulty of the Alice schools.
GUTHRIE BARN BURNS
The barn of Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Guthrie, who operate the Round
Timber store, burned Saturday
night, between 11:30 and 12:00
o'clock. There is no way of telling
how the fire caught, but it is sup-
posed that lightning may have set
it. Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie had been
in Seymour that night, and had
just gotten home and retired when
the fire was discovered by Bill's
sister, Mrs. C. U. Harland, and her
husband, who live nearby.
When the fire was discovered it
was well along, and none of the
barn's contents could be saved. A
considerable quantity of oats and
corn was stored there. This, to-
gether with the substantial build-
ing represented a loss of about
$3,000 And there was no insurance
on building or contents.
There is a certain amount of
consolation in the salvage of other
barn space and feed, represented
in a building some 25 feet north
of the barn. The wind was in the
east, and this other building was
saved. Some of the rafters caught
fire, but water was put on them
until arrival of the rural fire
truck from Seymour. The fire boys
were responsible for saving the
other building. It is the old seed
house that formerly stood on Kie
Farmers Gin property southeast of
the court house. Mr. Guthrie had
bought this building and moved it
to his place. And among the tilings
stored in it were about 700 bales
of hay.

School at Lackland Air Force Base.
San Antonio for a period of eight
weeks.

ing information on the U. S. Air
Force, please contact M Sgt. Ma-
honey, Room 215, Federal Bldg.,
Wichita Falls,
Mrs. C. E. Hargrave is a patient
in the Baylor County Hospital,
where she is slowly recovering
from a broken hip. The injury
was received in a fall at her home
on North Foley Street. Mrs. Har-
grave lias been a resident of Sey-
mour for a number of years, and
her husband passed away here sev-
eral years ago. She is the mother
of Murrie Hargrave of this place,
who is connected with part of the
W. H. Portwood ranch. Mrs. Har-
grave is responding to treatment,
and is getting along very well, but
probably has a long road to com-
plete recovery.

HOWARD TIDWELL
HAS HEART ATTACK
Howard Tidwell, suffering from
a heart attack last week, will have
to remain in the hospital for two
or three weeks. Although his con-
dition is not considered critical he
will not be back at work for a
while.
Mr. and Mrs. Tidwell's daughter,
Mrs, Richard Atwood and husband
have been here the past few days,
and plan on staying this week. Mr.
Atwood will drive to and from
Wichita Falls each day as he is
with the U. S. Air Force.
Visitors in the home of Mrs. Jim
Johnson last week were, Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence Hutchinson from
; Virginia. Mrs. Johnson accompan-
. ied the Hutchinsons to Dallas visit -
! ing with the J. W. Nelsons there
and visiting also in Holliday on
their return trip home.
County Attorney Clyde White-
side is about to finish up his stay
in the local hospital, following a
little trouble he had some ten days
ago. He was with a party of Wich-
ita Falls people at Lake Kickapoo,
and was doing stunts on water
skiis, when he broke loose some-
thing in one of his lungs. The in-
jury is not a serious one, and the
attorney will entirely recover
from it, but will have to go slow
and easy until the injury has fin-
ally recovered.
Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Holman were
down at Cameron during the Labor
Day holidays, where there was
held a big reunion of Mrs. Hol-
man's family.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson
