Delegations From Nacegdo-

Improvement of Highway
No. 35 Throagh Nacogdo-
ches County.
Delegations from Nacogdo-
ches, Appleby* Garrison, Teaa-
ha, Joaquin and Timpson at-
tended a highway meeting in
this city Friday night at Hotel
Blankenship, the main pur-
pose of which was to stress the
importance of procaring the
new. or additional right-of-way
through Nacogdoches county
on Highway No. 3a, the cnly
remaining link of this impor-
tant highway that is not im-
proved.
E. H- Hebert, secretary of
the Timpson Chamber of Com-
merce, was elected chairman
of the meeting and presided.
He stated that the meeting was
held at the suggestion of in-
terested parties along Highway
No, 35, and for the informa-
tion of those who were not
familiar with the matter, the
Nacogdoches delegation was
asked to state their right-of-
way troubles.
County Judge Clyde Shofner
and others told of the progress
of the work through Nacogdo-
ches county. In his opening
remarks Judge Shofner said:
“I want to correct the publish;
ed statement in which f am
quoted as saying that the pro-
posed asphalting of highway
No. 76 amounts to a re-routing
of highway No. 35. Improve-
ment of highway No. 76 will
not in any way effect No. 35,
and I have often made this
statement. Nacogdoches coun-
ty is interested in the improve-
ment of all her highways, and
we are doing our best to com-
plete our roads and we realize
the importance of No. S5."
Continuing he said: *T am at a
loss to understand joat how the
statement credited to me coaid
have gotten into the paper for
we want No. 35 improved; we
want No. 76 improved, and all
of our other highways improv-

Jtt. Enterprise Progress.
The E. C. Paulette-Sparks
test well in the Caledonia com-
munity has resumed operations
and it is expected that opera-
tions will continue until this
well is drilled to the oil pro-
ducing sands.
The' Joiner pool has been ex-
tended south and southwest for
several miles and extensive
drilling is expected in that sec-
tion of the county.
The Pure Oil Company is
having its entire block of ap-
proximately 15,000 acres at
Ml. Enterprise abstracted, in-
cluding small church lots - and
vacant strips and is expected to
begin drilling in a short time.
Several individuals who now
own producing royalties in
fields now producing and op-
erated by the Pure Oil Com-
pany are in this territory secur-
ing holdings with the expects
tion that the acreage now held
by the Pure Oil Company will
be developed.

ed, all serving their particular
designations.”
Judge Shofner stated that
the right-of-way on highway
No. 76 had been secured from
Kacogdcohes to Martinsville
and be understood Shelby
county would finish securing
her part of the right-of-way
this week at which time a dele-
gation .would appear before
the Highway Commission ask-
ing for improvement of the
road. This, however, would
not in any way effect Highway
No. 35, he said.
Carl Monk, well known Nac-
ogdoches business man. stated
that the business men of Nac-
ogdoches had no intention, nor
were they asking for a re-
designation of highway No. 35.
“It would be foolish to think
about such a thing. We want
35, 76 and all our highways
improved, but we do not want
to change any designation of
highway No. 35 for it is one of
our great cardinal highways.”
Continuing he said, “I confi-
dently believe before many
years highway 35 through Nae-

The regular meeting of the
Timpson post of the American
Legion will be held at the Le-
gion hall tonight and ail mem-
bers are urged to attend.
The election of a comaa:'-
der to succeed A. L. Whitao .,
who recently resigned doe to
political reasons, will be among
the important business of the
meeting. Since the resigna-
tion of Mr. Whitson, first vice-
commander J. Ross Hopkins,
has efficiently served as com-
mander.
Tonight’s meeting will be-
gin at 7.30 o’clock and all
members are urgently request-
ed to attend.
ogcfoches county will be a solid
concrete slab all the way. The
new survey for the right-of-way
leads me to believe that this
kind of improvement is antici-
pated.” Mr. Monk told of the
progress made in securing the
new right-of-way, and while it
is a big problem, be 3aid he
believed the work would be
completed sometime soon.
Ben Heflin of Garrison, who
has devoted much of his time
in endeavoring to secure the
right-of-way through Nacogdo-
ches county, was in attendance
and stated that the work
would continue, and with a
few minor corrections in the
new survey, he believed the
matter could be settled in quick
time. It was pointed oat that
in some instances property
owners along the new route
were entitled to damages.
Two commissioners from
Nacogdoches county were in
attendance at the meeting, L.
T. Blake of Precinct No. 1, and
Ed M. Weatherly of precinct
No. 3. The Nacogdoches coun-
ty delegation gave assurance
that renewed effort* would be
put forth to secure the right-
of-way through that county,
and they were hopeful that the
matter could be completed at
an early date.
Among the out-of-town visi-
tors attending the meeting
were:
Nacogdoches—County Judge
Clyde Shofner, Carl Monk, L.
T. Blake, and Robert Hall-
Appleby—E. M. Weatherly,

A PLACE IN THE SUN FOR YOUR CHOOSING
Much attention of late has been focused on
the discovery of the first man to emerge from
obscurity—the so-called Dawn Man. It isn’t
necessary to delve into the rocks for Dawn
Meai. They are here in Timpson and through
out the Nation. They are succeeding where
others fail. We are altering a new business era
—those men who recognize it earliest—pre-
pare for it adequately—are the Dawn Men.
They put their money in the hank where it can
be put to work and of some benefit to the com-
munity. This bank wants to meet these men
—wants to and is able to help than. This bank
depends upon them—theirs depend upon us.
Sane saving, wise buying is the first step up-
ward. Let s co-operate
