Brief notes: When the
nation’s school administrators
gather in Las Vegas in
February for their annual
convention, one East Texas
superintendent will not be
present.... The school board at
Gilmer has rejected
Superintendent W.W. Wilson’s
request to attend. Actually, one
board member made the
motion to send him, but no
second was received ... Mrs.
Earl D. Irons of Arlington has
written an interesting letter,
recalling family associations in
Commerce. Her husband was
the famed band master at
Arlington for years and
developed top-flight musicians
such as Mac McMullan, one-
time director of the Sulphur
Springs Band, and others ...
The second time around proved
successful for the proponents of'
a $1 million hospital im-
provement bond issue in
Franklin County during the
week. It won by a margin of 826
to 534. On the first try, the
bonds were rejected by a single
vote ... Postmaster Delbert
Tyler keeps a straight face
when he points to a scar on his
head and says a tree fell on it
He snipped a tree limb and it
crashed down on his head with
a thump.
teresting story. He is employed
on the huge Alaskan pipeline
project and, in effect, he
commutes to work ... He’s on
the job in Alaska for six weeks
in a row, then takes a two
weeks break ... And during his
breaks he flies back to Winn-
sboro to visit his famUy... The
colorful Autumn Trails in
neighboring Wlnnsboro and
area opens Oct 2 and runs
through Nov. 6 with many in-
teresting events slated ... The
$70 million Lake Fork Dam and
Reservoir project just outside
of Quitman is now 31.6 per cent
complete. Project managers
are confident the deadline of
Jan. 1, 1979 for completion will
be easily met

of age and resides in
Whispering Pines Nursing
Home in Winnsboro ... But in
the latter part of August, he
enjoyed a new experience. He
hustled over to D-FW Airport
and took a flight to Casper,
Wyo., for a short visit with a
son, Kenneth Braden ... It was
his first flight and he found It
exciting ... Bert Clark of
Winnsboro has another in-
Mrs. Roy Shrode had as her
guests this weekend Lt. Col.
and Mrs. R. G. Smith of Abi-
lene, Diana Smith of Ft. Worth,
Susan Smith of Dallas, and
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Shrode of
Houston. They attended the
Shrode family reunion Sunday

Last notes; Air-conditioned
retail shopping malls are fairly
‘common in Texas, but they’re
usually found in the larger
cities ... Now, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Farragh are planning a
mall in ML Pleasant, to be
called “Etcetera Square,’’
which will have approximately
20,000 square feet of lease area
on three levels.... The mall will
be in downtown Mt. Pleasant ...
A local barber friend claims he
has the story on good authority
and it may be worth repeating.
He says a Hopkins County man
recently sold a fighting rooster
for a crisp $500 bill... Not only
that, the barber friend em-
phasizes, the owner didn’t
want to part with the cock but
he had stated his price and
didn’t care to back down ... An
out-of-county dairymen
dropped by the office the other
day and said he was seeking a
supply of lignite. He says he has
been purchasing lignite in New
Mexico to mix with his cattle
feed to improve its mineral
content. “If the Hopkins County
lignite has the right mineral
content,” he pointed out, "it
would save on transportation
costs to buy it here.’’
