Cowboys Take District
28-A Lead By Defeating
Karnes City 27 To 0
Friday evening, about 7:00 o’clock,
when the Karnes City Badgers, on a
special train of 8 coaches, filled with
fans, rolled into Edna there were two
undefeated teams in District 28-A,
and tno:e teams were the Edna Cow-
boys and the Badgers. A few
hours later there was but one team
without a defeat for the. season and
that team was Coach Zimin’s Edna
('owlioys.
The night's score was Edna 27, the
Badgers from Karnes City 0. This
means that Edna cannot place lower
than a tie for the district champion-I
ship. Coach Zimin’s Edna Cowboys
play Coach Joe Jack Pearce’s Bee-1
TITLE.
According to the 'Interscholastic
League Football rides, the Edna
Cowboys have already cinched
the title. Should tlaey lose to
Heeville Friday night at I$ec-
ville and Karnes City win at
Kenedy, the number of games
won and lost would be even-
steven, but because of the fact
Edna won from Karnes City
they are declared the champion.
This rule is also in vogue in the
Southwest Conference. So today
we introduce to you the EDNA
COWBOYS—champions of Dis-
trict 28-A.
ville Trojans next Friday in Beeville
for the last game of the season, while
Coach "Boss” Johnson’s Badgers play
Kenedy at that time. The Trojans
are supposed to he weak, hut you
can’t always tell.
Friday night the Cowboys played
one of their best games of the sea-
son as the chips were down and they
knew what win or defeat would mean.
The defeat that was handed the
lighting Badgers was convincing and
was clearly an indication that Coach
Zimin has a good football team, not
withstanding the fact that the boys
will average less than 150 pounds.
Many fans remembered the late
Victoria game and were afraid that
the Cowboys just didn’t have it.
While it lias never been mentioned
publicly, there were four key men on
tlie Qowboy team who went Into the
Victoria game crippled. And it was
not a conference game, the coach
evidently did not insist on the boys
exerting that "do or die” spirit. They
knew the following Friday it would
be a do or die act when the Badgers
came to town in a conference game.
Anyway, the Doubting Thomases
were convinced t lie little. Cowboys
have what it takes to win games
when the game counts in district
play.
Edna Scores Early.
In the game Friday night the Cow-
boys kicked off to Karnes City and
the Badgers made two iirst downs
before losing the ball on downs. Af-
ter tlie punt Edna took over and pro-
ceeded to score without losing the
ball. Off-tackle plays worked the
ball to the Badger 30-yard line
where Babe McDowell passed for 30
yards to End Masclieck for tlie first
score of the game. The extra point
was missed. Throughout this quar-
ter the Edna defense was tight, and
tlie Badgers were never able to make
a scoring threat.
In the second quarter, Babe Me
Dowell made the score 12 to 0 when
lie skirted loft end for 15 yards and
a touchdown. Nairn made tlie score
13 to 0 when lie ran over the extra
point.
At the half, both schools put on an
interesting perfomrance, thrilling
band music and intricate and smooth-
ly executed marches and formations.
The third quarter was a bit slow
as neither team was able to break
through to pay dirt though the Cow-
boys made two real threats. As in
the first half, the Karnes City hoys
were unable to get within the Edna
20-yard line.
In the last quarter the Cowboys
decided to get going again and after
Nairn had bucked over from the 3
and Putnam lmd bucked over for the
extra point, a whold bunch of subs
came in to prove that they were
subs in name only. Warren Flour-
noy sprinted 35 yards for the last
score and Arlan Crisp finished
the scoring by bucking over for
the extra point, thus making the score
27 to 0.
Tlie Badgers with Pierce and Ripp-
stein doing the bigger part of the
chores in the backfield, made lots of
gains and. were a threat at all times,
but the aggressive Edna line and the
tight defense of the whole team,
would not allow the visitors to enter
the Edna 20 yard line.' And that must
have been §uue*5~fknt, for we should
remember this was the first defeat
of the Badgers this season.
Before tlie game was over Coach
Zim had played 22 men, or about
every man in uniform
The fact (tint Rallies City made
12 first downs and Edna only 11
would indicate that the game, was
nearly even, and it was in every-
thing hut the scoring.

District Champions Play El Cainpo.
Under tlie new redistricting ar-
rangement the champions of our dis-
trict will play the district winners
in tlie district east of us, and that
means tlie El Cainpo Ricebirds. Thus
it seems very probable that tlie Rice-
birds and tlie Cowboys will have
another game coming up soon. This
season the Ricebirds, after a very
hard fought game, won over the
Cowboy's by a score of (! to 0.
Drouth Broken.
One of tlie most persistent and pro-
longed drouths this section lias exper-
ienced for many years, was broken,
or partly so, early Tuesday morning
wlien approximately an nleli of rain
fell in the Edna section. Some sec-
tions of tlie \ouiity report a heavier
rainfalk_Tljo-\ahi was accompanied
by a "vR’id^electricwl display and earth-
shaking peals of thunder.
While the rain that fell was quite
a hit short of what is needed, coming
on the heels of several days of damp,
misty weather, it will do a great
deal of good. While a little late In
coming, the rain will benefit the cat-
tle roughs, and if the weather con-
tinues warm a week or more, grass
and weeds will have time to make a
fairly good growth. The rain was es-
pecially welcomed by the farmers who
laid planted or who had everything in
readiness to plant their flax, and
winter feed crops.
Due to the government’s cotton
stalk destroying campaign—a move-
ment to combat the pink boil worm—
Jackson County farmers, or the most
of them, have their land in good shape,
and tlie dry soil soaked up the rain
like a sponge.

Thurmond-Sulak.
Miss Dorothy Sulak, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sulak of Louise,
and Charles Thurmond, son of Mrs.
I!. A. Thurmond of Inez, were mar-
ried Tuesday morning, November 16,
in the Louise Catholic Church. Rev.
Thurmond of Karnes City, brother
of the groom officiated, assisted by
Rev. Paul P. Kaspar.—Ganado Tri-
bune.
The above will be read with inter-
est by many Edna people, and more
especially by those who have been
connected with tlie Edna high school,
either as teachers or students, the
past few years. Charlie Thurmond
is a graduate of the local high school
and for several seasons was a stellar
linesman on the Cowboy football
team. He was popular with the stu-
dent body and faculty members, and
they, along with his other friends,
wish for him and the lady of his
choice happiness and prosperity.
Bill Gonzales Killed
In Edna Saturday
Saturday night at? about 11:30
Jesus Jordon, a local , Mexican with
a reputation of being a “had hoinbre”,
shot and killed It ill (Abelino) Gon-
zales in the Gonzales beer parlor, a
block west of the City Hall. One
shot was fired, the bullet first strik-
ing Julio I.opez in the arm, then bit-
ting Bill Gonzales in the heart, kill-
ing him instantly.
That evening about *8:30 Jesus en-
tered the Gonzales beer parlor and
lie and another Mexican got into a
fight. Bill Gonzales put Jesus out
of tlie place lifter quite a tussle. At
about 11:30 Jesus came hack to the
beer parlor, opened tlie screen door
and fired one shot with a pistol at
Bill Gonzalep. Tlie flesh wound In-
flicted upon I .ope/, was evidently an
accident as he was standing partly
in front of Bill Gonzales. It is said
that after . shooting Bill, Jesus
threatened his father, Pablo Gon-
zales, who was in the building at the
time of tlie shooting. When Tony
Gonzales went to the Meador Gulf
Service Station to phone for a doc-
tor, Jesus was there and threatened
Tony with the gun with which lie
had killed his brother.
Jesus asked that tlie service sta-
tion attendant phone for the officers.
Among tlie Mesicau population
Jesus Jordon boro the repuation of
being a bad man. It is said because
of this reputation he was not wel-
come in any of tlie beer parlors or
cafes.. Some time ago, it is report-
ed, he was in a light with a Mexi-
can from Wharton and was badly
cut up. In fact, it is said it took
over 100 stitches by a local doctor
to close his wounds.
Bill Gonzales was born and rear-
ed in Jackson County and bore a
good reputation among all our peo-
ple. He would have been 25 years
old next mouth.
Tiie funeral service for Bill was
held at the Catholic Church Monday
morning at 10 o’clock, with his pas-
tor, Rev. Altamlra conducting the
service, assisted by Rev. Galindo o.
El Cainpo.
Tlie» young man's popularity was
shown by tlie large number of people
attending the service.
Besides his widow and two daugh-
ters, 5 and *2Vi years, and liis parents,
tlie deceased is survived by two broth-
ers, Antonio (Tony) and Jesse, and
one sister, Coralina.

tunity to elect committees to admin-
ister tlie HMD Agricultural Conser-
vation Urogram, storage and loan
operations, and other activities im-
portant to agriculture in tbis county.
Arnold Koop, chairman of the

mittee, said that in I lie election to lie
held December 6, 1!I4N, farmers will
vote for members of the local com-
munity committee and for delegates
to the county convention to elect the

Every eligible farmer should vote
in the election. Eligible farms who
fail to vote in these elections are
not carrying their share of tlie re-
sponsibility for good administration
in the farm program, says Mr. Koop.
in the election. Eligible farmers who
have participated in tlie libs Agri-
cultural Conservation Urogram or the
Sugar Urogram, those * who arc
eligible for a commodity loan or other
price support, or those who have an
■insurance contract in the Federal
Crop insurance Urogram.
“Through these elected commit-
teemen,’ says the chairman, "farm-
ers have a direct channel to those
Who administer these programs in
tlie State and in the Nation. It is
up to the farmers of Jackson Conn
ty to see that committeemen are se-
lected who can best administer tHY
farm programs and who understand
local farm problems.
“Democracy is as good ns we
make it. When we don’t participate
we are placing all the responsibility
on tlie other fellow. Wo are not
carrying our share of the load. Not
only that, but as we fail to partici-
pate we lose just that much of our
democracy."

II. \V. Wells, special agent, Depart-
ment of Commerce, reports that
11,104 bales of cotton were ginned
in Jackson County from the 11)48
crop prior tp November 1st. This
1.4 coni pa rep to 7,212 hales for the
crop of 11)47. While there will he
one or two more reports on this
year’s crop, we imgaine / the above
figures will just about cover the

yield, was good; the price was good,
and the farmers had good weather
in which to harvest the crop. For
this we should he thankful.
Mr. Alfred Ward
Died In Luling
The sudden and unexpected deatli
at I.uling Iasi Thursday of Mr. Alfred
Ward, a prominent Jackson County
j stockman and oil mail, was a shock
to relatives and liis great host of
I friends in Jackson County.
Mr. Ward was enroute frojn his
| home at Vanderbilt to Sun Antonio
in ids car, being driven by ids em-
ploye, Jimmie Franklin, colored, when
lie became ill soon after eating din-
ner at Yoakum. At Gonzales, lie at-
tempted to get a doctor, but none
was available and they went on to
Luling for medical aid. By that
time Mr. Ward’s condition was seri-
ous hud Hie doctor put him to lied.
A short time later lie passed away.
We understand tlie lading doctor said
Ids death was caused by an heart
attack.
Wlien Mr. Ward came through Ed-
na tbut morning lie evidently was
feeling quite well for he had coffee
with friends and conversed with oth-
ers, and never mentioned feeling ill.
Tlie remains were laid- to rest in
! the family plot in a Sail Antonio
cemetery Saturday.
Alfred Pierce Ward was a native
of Jackson Comity, horn in Decem-
ber 1 1881; being the eldest
son of the late Mr. Lafayette Ward
and Mrs: Betty Compton Ward, long
time residents of Jackson County, Edna
and San Antonio. In fact, tlie Ward
family, ancestors of (he subject of
jtlds sketch, were among the first
settlers of Jackson County. The
Ward Ranch in tlie southern part of
Jackson County was originally owned
by Alfred’s father and was tlie larg-
est cattle ranch in tlie county. On
this ranch Alfred was reared. The
family moved to Edna when Alfred
was 12 years of age, and lie attended
and graduated from tlie “Edna High
School,” a private school founded
by the late Mr. John Oorroll. Later
Mr. Ward attended and graduated
from tin' State University at Aus-
tin.
After the death of his father in
San Antonio a number of years ago,
Mr. Ward moved to Dublin, Texas,
where he operated a flour mill and
cattle ranch. In recent years lie and
Mrs. Ward, (he former Miss Mary
J West, member of a well known San
Antonio family, moved to Vanderbilt
to lie near their ranching and oil in-
terests on the West Ranch. He was
n member of tlie Edna Rotary Club
and seldom missed a meeting,
Alfred Ward was a friendly man;
a man who enjoyed tlie association
of his friends, and these friends were
legion.
Mr. Ward is survived by ills widow
and one son, Alfred, Jr., and a grand-
son, and one brother, L. Ward of San
Antonio. To these bereaved ones we
extend heartfelt sympathy in their
time of sorrow.

City of Edna Takes
In Ezzell Addition
At a call meeting of the City Coun-
cil, held Saturday, November 13th,
an ordinance was presented and pass-
ed to take tlie Ezzell Addition into
(lie City of Edna. This was done
as a result of action taken by the
residents of the Ezzell Addition
themselves, who requested annexa-
tion.
On October 7th, nt Hie regular
City Council meeting, a committee,
composed of Mrs. John Mercer, Mrs.
A. R. Mercer, Robbie Mercer, Bill
Mercer, and Walter Braddock, met
with the Council and presented their
cause. Mr. W. II. Mercer, spokes-
man for the committee, stated that
tlie Ezzell Addition residents were
desirous o{ getting a sewer line put
in and city water extended through-
out, (lie addition. He said there were
45 houses in the addition without
sanitary connections. The line which
he proposed putting in at this time
would serve 21 houses, nine of which
have been built within the past 18
months. Mr. Mercer stated that ho
would circulate a petition among tlio
residents of yie addition, requesting
annexation. Tills petition was signed
and presented to the City "Council,
and the annexation was passed as
the result.
The Ezzell Addition, located in the
southeastern part of town, was
"opened” up by (lie late Mr. B. F.
Ezzell many years ago. Most of the
residents of that addition are the
children, grandchildren and other
descendants of Mr. Ezzell.
Building Notes.
The Boots Glrmlt concrete business
building, at the rear and south of the
Volliiner brick building on Main
street is making good progress. As
soon as this building is completed
the Girndt Cleaners, now located in
tlie McCrory building, south of the
Modern Garage, will move into their
new quarters. This means they will
occupy the whole first floor of the
Volkmer building and tlie concrete
addition. This will lie a modern
building and specially suitable for
the business it will house.
Court House Repairs.
A number of engineers are here
today looking over certain repairs
that are to be made soon on the
Jackson County court house.
Tlie concrete steps leading from tlie
ground to tlie second story are in a
bad way and considered dangerous.
Tlie steps have a big crack in the
concrete about half way up, and tho
lower front entrance, under tho stair-
case, lias been closed because of this
hazard.
Perhaps other repairs ure being
considered as the building is becom-
ing quite unsightly and in many in-
stances in need of a face-lifting.
Hank to Modernize.
The Herald understands that the
Jackson Count" >a.i im..k has
engineer* looking over its present
building with t In- idea of having it
overhauled and thorougly moderniz-
ed.
At this writing we have no definite
information ns to the extent of the
repairs, alterations and equipment to
lie Installed, but it will likely mean u
job that will give Edna one of its
most modern business houses.
However, at this writing the con-
tract Inis not lieeii awarded, and
there is nothing definite to when
the work will begin.

peculiar to the development of polio.
