GAME WARDEN Bob Rhudy
predicts that Bosque County will
have a harvest of from 1,200 to
1,500 deer this year. He reports
that the deer, which have looked
a little poor, will look good by the
time the hunting season opens
November 16. The good acorn crop
is helping them round into condi-
tion. It was estimated that hunters
killed about 1,200 deer last year

ONI OP the moat interesting
elections for off-presidential years
in the history of the country took
place this week. Both Democrats
and Republicans are claiming vic-
tories, but what the nation really
hopes is that the people won—that
they elected the best candidate for
each Job.
THE REPUBLICAN Party took
another step toward making Texas
a two-party state. Por the first
time in 00 years the Republicans
will have a sizable number of rep-
resentatives at the State Capital
in Austin—seven. All Republican
candidates on the ballot received a
respectable vote. Many individual
voting boxes over the state gave
the Republican candidate for gov-
ernor a majority—even three in
Bosque County. Certainly the Texas
Republicans now will be encourag-
ed to make another strong effort
two years from now.
Mr. Blue's Death
Nov. 5 Is Mourned
(By Miss Stella Vickrey)
It was with the deepest regret
that the relatives and friends of
W. C. Blue, aged 70 years, 10
months, and 26 days, of 815 South
PERSONALS
Ed Amundson, of this city, enter-
in the local hospital for medical
care on November 1 and still was
a patient there on Wednesday af-
ternoon of this week.
Mrs. Earl Pliant became a patient
in the local hospital on October 31
and underwent surgery there the
aagafeSgfcf mtmm
ember 5.
ONI YOUNG man, John Con
nally, will have much to do with
whether the Republican Party con
tinues to expand rapidly in Texas.
Strong leadership as Governor of
Texas during the next'two years
would do much to make Texas
voters forget the Republican Party,
but, should the young Governor
fail to provide sound leadership,
voters will turn to the Republican
Party for a change. Governor-elect
Connally has handled himself well
in many fields; this editor believes
he will make Texas one of its best
governors.
GRAND JURY, which met in
the regular November session this
week, returned 11 true bills of
indictment which will come before

sion.

has called for bids November 13
on the construction of five miles of
farm-to-market road from near Val-
ley Mills toward China Spring on
the road that many persons used
years ago en route to Waco. It is
understood that McLennan County
expects to ask for funds to connect
with a hard-topped road from
Waco.

Obituary Given
On December 9, 1891, William
Charles Blue was born at Gordon,
and in 1905 he moved to Iredell,
where he spent most of the re-
maining years of his lifetime.
It was on September 15, 1912,
that Mr. Blue married Miss Fannie
Linch. Soon after their marriage
they established their home near
Iredell, and it was on that place
that they continued to live for the
next 48 years. Mr. Blue was a very
prominent and successful farmer
and stockman. He liked farming
and loved farm people.
Endowed with a very pleasant
personality, Mr. Blue always was
smiling and had a cheerful word
for everyone with whom he came
in contact. He was devoted to all
of his neighbors, and he liked noth
ing better than to meet and talk
with his friehdk of long-standing on
the streets oflredell. Memories of
those friendly chats will linger in
the minds of his close friends for
long time to come.
Mr. Blue became a member of
the Methodist Church at Fairview,
a small rural church near Iredell,
in 1931. He remained faithful in
all of its activities during the du-
ration of the little church’s exis-
tence. He especially enjoyed talk
ing with ministers. That fact again
was evidenced the week before his
death when he paid two visits daily
to the local hospital to visit with
Reverend J. E. Morton, pastor of
the Firzt Methodist Church here,
who was hospitalized at that time.
This fine man was deeply devot
ed in all respects to his beloved
wife, his two sons, and his daugh
ter. In 1960 Mr. and Mrs. Blue
moved to Clifton and purchased
their present home at 515 South
Avenue L from Mr. and Mrs. Ar-
thur Hyles. Mr. and Mrs. Blue only
recently were privileged to cele-
brate their 50th wedding annivers
ary.
Especially did Mr. Blue appre
date the love and devotion be-
stowed upon him by his cherished
grandsons, O. D. Blue, a student
at Arlington State College in Ar
lington, and James Charles Blue,
who is employed with a chemical
company at Managua, Nicaragua,
the latter being the only member
of his family who could not be
present for the funeral services,
and his four lovely granddaughters,
Donna Smith, a student in the Fort
Worth Public Schools, Diane Blue,
who attends Iredell High School,
Mickey Blue, a senior at Mary Har-
din-Baylor College in Belton, and
Penny Blue, a sophomore in Clif-
ton High School. These grandchild-
ren were his pride and Joy in his
declining years. Mr. Blue also often
spoke highly of his two daughters-
in-law.
Mr. Blue is survived by his wife,
Mrs. W. C. Blue, of Clifton; his
two sons, Otis Blue, who is em-
ployed with a construction firm at
Tallulah, Louisiana, at the present
time, and Cletos Blue, of Iredell;
his daughter, Mrs. Rudell Smith, of
Fort Worth; one brother, W. S.
Blue, of Asher, Oklahoma; two sis-
ters, Mrs. Ira Linch (Irene), of
Floydada, and Mrs. Helen Golden,
of Iredell; his six grandchildren
previously mentioned; and one
great-grandson, Stephen Blue, of
Arlington.
In view of his great love and
ceaseless concern for his beloved
family, only God alone understands
the reasons leading to Mr. Blue’s
tragic death. May He comfort this
family during its hours of sorrow
following its great loss.
of this week.
Mrs. T. W. (Dobe) Porter, now
of Waco but formerly of Meridian,
has been receiving medical care in
the Clifton hospital since Novem-
ber 5.
Receiving medical treatment in
the Clifton hospital is John T.
Hill, of Whitney, who became a
patient there on November 4.
