A NEW FISH
A new fish has showed up in
the Tres-Palacios Bay—at least
new to us. Quite a number df these
fish have been caught. Jimmy Cox,
Milton Rowton, and Dr. Hart all
caught them last week and Lestet
Morton and Cleo Hamlin caught
some m the vicinity of the -army
cflmp.
The fish, for the most -part,
average about one-half pound in
WCight. However, there are reports
that some have been caught weigh-
ing as much as two pounds.
They resemble a fresh-water
go- fle-eye perch, very closely ’in
Sh. •», and it is colored dark green
With most Of the scales having a
red tinge. The nearest salt-water
fish it resembles is trie snapper.
Until a better name turns up,
'these fishermen here are calling
them “Googk-eyed-Snapper.”

'Lucky' Tom Closest’;
Tough One This Week
Expert of the week—Tom Friery,
who guessed a score of 28-0 last
week as the final outcome of the
Palacios-Van Vleck tussle. It is
true, of course, that none of the
experts even came close to guess-
ing the 43-0 score, but Mr. Friery’s
was the closest. We congratulate
you.
This week, six more citizens of
Palacios, picked at random by the
rambling reporter, have made their
predictions.
Let the chips ny where they may,
these are the predictions: “Bubba"
Lawson, 13-7; Alton Queen, 14-13;
“Chief” Bachus, 20-6; James Hallo-
way, 7-6; G. L. Pore, 18-14; Dr.

Coach Holst Gives
Rotarians Preview Of
Hornets At Meeting
Coach George Holst gave a pre-
view of the Hornets before they
play their first home game here
Thursday night to the members of
the Rotary Club.
“The team,” he said, “is one of
the heaviest we have had in recent
years. Our line averages 152
pounds and the backfield weighs
an average of 156 pounds per man.”
Only three boys are starters
from last year, according to Coach
Holst.
"We have one of the best de-
fensive teams in the league, and
only 13 points have been scored
against us this year,” Coach Holst
explained.
“But the defensive team is su-
perior to the offensive team.”
Ronald Harris announced that he
had just received a letter that the
Jacksonville, Florida, Flying Club
would use the facilities of the Pa-
lacios air field on a trip to Mexico
November 4. Mr. Walker, head of
the air field, announced that the
Future Farmers of Texas would
also pay the field a visit on their
trip through Texas this month.
Philip Stietenroth, special agent
for the Marine Office of America
in Houston, was the guest speaker
at the luncheon.
He pointed out that marine in-
surance was older than the Chris-
tian religion and that it origin-
ated in about 900 B.C.
Guests at the luncheon were
Philip Stietenroth, Captain E. F.
Wehmeyer, Jimmie Martin, George
Charamee, and Carlton Crawford,
James Duncan, and Pat Treacy.
Attendance for the luncheon was

Dr. E. B. Sanford
Will Open New
Clinic October 15
Dr. E. B, Sanford’s Medical clinic
will open approximately October
15, according to Dr. Sanford.
The new clinic will he one of the
most modern buildings in Palacios.
One of the most interesting fea-
tures of the building is that it
will be completely air conditioned
by a five-ton Servel air conditioner.
The new clinic will have all mod.
ern facilities and has been designed
by the architect, Allen Williams of
Houston, to make patients, as well
as the clinical staff, feel at ease.
The clinic will have ten separate
rooms, including a medical supply
room, a colored and white waiting
room, a Diathermy and B. M. R.
room, a room for the laboratory, a
consultation room, an X-ray and
dark room, a room for the air
conditioner, and a»business office.
In explaining the new building,
which Dr. Sanford and his staff
will move into shortly, he said that
at the present time there is a gen-
eral move among practioneers to
better the surroundings of their
offices and to make such places as
comfortable to patients as possible.
The new building is constructed
of tile and the front is surfaced
with a red brick finish. The inside
walls are attractively decorated
with white and light colored tex-
stone. All lighting is either by in-
direct lighting or by incandescent
lamps.
Technical experts from Houston
will be on hand when preparations
are ready for moving in. They will
disassemble and set up the labor-
atory and X-ray machinery. Dr.
Sanford expects tne new clinic to
be in operation three days after
the moving of the equipment is
started.

Demonstration On
Killing Johnson Grass
With T. C. A. Given
A demonstration on killing John-
son grass with T.C.A., a new type
weed killing chemical, was given to
the Veterans Agricultural class by
the instructor, Clyde Andrews, last
Tuesday.
The 15 students saw the success-
ful demonstration and watched the
spray procedure and effect of the
chemicals.
The students also watched a new
type corn picker in action. It was
demonstrated to the students that
pulling corn mechanically rather
than by hand was cheaper, faster,
and the waste was not near as
great as by hand.

County To Start
Collecting Oct. 9
The collection of taxes for Mat-
agorda County will begin October
9, according to James H. Selkirk,
assessor and collector of tnxes.
Tax notices will be mailed out
shortly before that date, but the
books will not be completed, Mr.
Selkirk explained, therefore they
will not be ready for payment of
taxes until October 9.
He suggested that each tax pay.
er examine the notices received and
see that all property is listed cor-
rectly. If the notice is correct, the
taxpayer may then have a three
per cent discount if paid in Octo-
ber, a two per cent discount if
paid in November, or a one per cent
discount if his taxes are paid in
December.
For taxpayers in Palacios who
wish to pay their taxes by check,
Mr. Selkirk said that you may at-
tach your check to the tax notice,
include a self-addressed envelope,
and mail it to the county tax col-
lector. The receipt will then be
mailed back to you within a few
days.
If the tax payer wishes to pay
his poll tax at the same time he
pays his other taxes, he should fill
out the information required as
printed on the back of the tax
notice: name, age, length of resi-
dence in state and county, occupa-
tion and place of birth.
The poll tax will cost you $1.75.
There is no discount. Exemption
certificates are issued only to per-
sons under 21 years of age who
reach their 21st birthday before
casting their vote. No one is re-
quired to register in order to vote
and persons over 60 years old are
not required to have an exemption
certificate.

tack at his home in Neosho, Mo.
His son, the Rev. Walter Mc-
Pherson, associate pastor of the

E. Morehead Shoots
Self Accidentally In
El Campo; Doing Okay
Elton Morehead, former Pala-
cios grocer now living in El Campo,
accidentally shot himself Thursday
afternoon, September 28.
Deputy Sheriff Gillie McClure
reported that Morehead shot him-
self through the right side of his
abdomen with a .22 calibre rifle.
Mr. Morehead was found in his
room by his wife about 4:00 p.m.
and was immediately taken to the
Nightingale Hospital. Deputy Mc-
Clure said that Morehead told him
he was working with the gun
when it went off striking him in
the side.
His many friends here are glad
to learn that he is improving and
will soon be able to be released
from the hospital.
Mrs. Susie Harbison and daugh-
ter. Lois, Ellis and Ben Jensen, all
of Palacios, and Mrs. Clarence
Sanderfer and son, Clinton, of Port
Arthur have returned from a visit
to their old home in Minnesota
They also visited Canada and other
points of interest. This was the
first time they had been back since
coming to Texas 41 years ago.
Collections For City,
School Started Mon.
Peel out your pocket book,
dampen your eyes, have a good
handkerchief ready because col-
lections of state, county, city, and
school taxes began Monday.
Total assessed valuation in 1950
for the city is $1,689,756. The
school district will cover a larger
area and has a total valuation for
1950 of $4,500,000. There are no
available figures on the amount of
state and county taxes to be col-
lected.
The tax rate this year according
to Bessie Belknap, city secretary
and tax assessor for the city, will
be $1.50 on every $100 worth of
property. The property tax for the
school district will be $1 on $100
worth of property, according to
H. C. Campbell, tax assessor and
collector for the school district.
Payments may be either mailed
in or paid to Bessie Belknap at
the City Hall for city taxes, and
for school taxes they may be
mailed to H. C. Campbell, or
brought to his office, directly across
the street from the City Hall.
According to Miss Belknap the
city usually averages collecting
about 90 per cent of its taxes
each year. There is no discount for
taxes immediately paid, but after
the first day of February a penal-
ty of one and a half per cent will
be put on delinquent taxes per
month.
After the first of July a flat
penalty of 10 per cent and costs
is added to delinquent taxes.
Breaking down the coming bud-
get for 1950-51, $1.22 of the $1.50
property tax will be spent on the
operating fund. The other 28 cents
will go into the sinking fund to
retire tax supported bonds.
The proposed budget for the de-
partments calls for $14,600 to be
spent by the general fund; Street
and Bridge fund, $9,800; and the
Water fund, $25,760. The fund,
however, is elastic and the funds
of some of the departments may
be borrowed to meet the expense of
other departments.
The property tax, Miss Belknop
explained, is not the actual selling
price of the property. Only 25 per
cent of the actual selling price
is used to figure the tax rate of
property. The state allows as much
as 60 per cent tax evaluation.
Some $64,000 will be collected by
the Palacios Independent School
District on a total assessed eval-
uation of one and a half million
dollars. Almost half of the taxes
collected will come from oil proper,
ties.
The Palacios Independent School
district extends to the coast to the
Colorado River and almost to the
Lavaca River to about seven miles
north of Palacios.
The $64,000 is only about one-
fourth of the school income for the
district. Three-fourths of the up
keep of the schools is contributed
by the state and county.

OLD TRAIL DRIVER DIES
ALFRED LEADFORD, 85
IN THIS AREA 70 YRS.
One of the last of fabulous old-
time trail drivers quietly passed
away at his home Friday. He was
Albert Leadford, 85. He lived at
307 Lucas in Palacios.
Funeral services were read by
the Rev. T. W. Goins of the Church
of God Saturday at 3 p.m. at the
Palacios Funeral Home. Burial
was held at Palacios Cemetery.
He is survived by his wife, Mol-
lye Leadford, and his four chil-
dren, Mrs. B. T. Elliott, Walter
Leadford, Mrs. Melvin Bluhm of
Three Rivers, and Mrs. Robert
Byers of Port O’Connor.
There are also seven grand-
children, Jack Elliot, Mrs. Perry
Everett, Jerry Wayne Leadford,
Dolly Cary Leadford, Robin Lead-
ford, Frances Bluhm, Elaine
White, and two great grandchil-
dren, Craig Elliott, and Virginia
Sue Everett.
Albert Leadford was one of the
riders that made Texas a tradi-
tion. He came to Texas at the
age of 13 from Mount Ayre, North
Carolina, in 1878. He was a cowboy
working for ranches near Lam-
pasas. He came to Edna, Texas
with John Allison in about 1893 as
a trail driver after having worked
for the Bonnot, Ward, and Traylor
ranches.
He rode the range with a legend-
ary figure of the Southwest —
Shanghai Pierce, who owned sev-
eral thousand acres of grazing
land. Long before Palacios was
ever founded, he camped on the site
that is now Palacios.
In 1903 he met and married Miss
Mollie Tate and moved to Olivia,
Texas. After living there a number
of years, he moved to Palacios
and spent the remainder of his
life here.
Pallbearers were John Bolling,
Neil Brown, Emil Peterson, Guy
Cavallin, Guy Johnson, and Joe
Beard.

Local F.F.A. Boy
Shows Big Profit
On Three Brahmas
Donald Shimek, Palacios High
School Future Fanner, exhibited
his three Brahman Cross-Bred
calves at the Wharton County
Fair. He sold them at an auction'
sale at the Mid-Coastal Brahman’
Breeders Saturday.
The three calves, weighing a to-

pound. Donald also won $31.76 as
prize money for showing the fourth
place pen of three cross-bred,
calves.
Donald bought his calves on
April 21 this year. He bought two
from the Weed Ranch at $50 each
and one from his father at the
same price. The three calves at the
time of purchase weighed 504
pounds.
The calves were crop-fed, and
ran on improved pasture. In addi-
tion they received some milk from
a nurse cow. The calves averaged
a total gain of 1.7 pounds daily
from this method of care and man-
agement. .._
Donald’s total expense on the
three calves, including price of
calves, crop-feed, pasture and the
nurse cow was $269.25, giving him-
a net profit for the 189 day pro-
ject of $277.01.
City Writes Telephone
Company Protesting
^ncement OF Poles
No new ordinances were passed
at the regular meeting of the City
Council Monday night, but a long
discussion was held on the new
dial telephone system to be in-
stalled.
All the members agreed that the
telephone company was putting
too many of their new poles in im-
proper places in front ot houses'
and places that hampered property
owners and restricted the use of'
their property.
Mayor Koerber was authorized
to write a letter to the telephone
company to ask if this practice
could not be stopped.
Another discussion was held lim-
iting and enforcing the speed limit
in Palacios to 30 miles an hour.
No action was taken.
Driver Sleeps—Shrimp
Truck Rolls Over
A shrimp truck overturned ten
miles north of Palacios on High-
wav 35 Friday morning.
The truck, however, was not lo-
cally owned. The truck was from
Aransas Pass headed for Galves-
ton. The accident happened at 6:30
Friday morning.
Some 14,000 pounds of shrimp
was scattered over the highway,
but most of the load was saved
by quickly righting and re-icing
the shrimp.
According to the driver, Frank
Morgan, the truck turned over
when he went to sleep and went off
the road. The wheels apparently
hit a rut when he tried to straight-
en the truck out. A small cut over
his left eye was his only injury.
