state of Indiana. She came to Texas
as a child with her parents. On
October 29, 1882, she was married to

eld R. F. C. Act, which specifically j river. For the past 32 years Mrs.

Under terms of the bill, virtually
every type of public works is eli-
gible.

grant or gift of 30% of the construc-
tion cost, and will loan the balance
at 70% at a low rate of interest.
Title 11 of the National Industrial
The Georgetown soft ball team de-
feated the Lampasas team Friday
night, 25 to 11, in a game which was
made up mostly of all around good
playing by the Georgetown boys and
one miscue after another by the local
team.
j Lampasas’ greatest handicap was
in the loss of Raines, who sprained
his ankle prior to the game and was
unable to play. Pitchers G. A. Mc-
Gregor and John Abney did their
, best but they just weren’t in the same
class us the speedy Georgetown hurl-
er. Raines could have Jgiven the
visitors some of their own medicine
for his style of pitching is similar
to that of the Georgetown boy.
Everyone seemed to be off form.
They just couldn’t hold the ball when
it came their way. Several of the
regulars were out of the game Fri-
day night in addition to Raines, thus
slowing down the team work consid-
erably.
Keith Dawson, playing deep short,
was the main stay of the team on the
defensive but was weak at bat.
Skaggs was good in the field, making
only one error, but was also weak
: at bat. In fact, everyone was weak
on the offensive. Cliff Whigham fur-
nished the outstanding thrill of the
night for the locals when in the lat-
ter part of the game he drove a long
fly to center field for a home run. As
i luck would have it though, the bases
were empty.
j The Georgetown players were just
too much athletes for the locals. They
looked like a^group of University stu-
dents who probably spend a great
deal of time in athletics,
j The line-up for Lampasas was as
: follows? Long, catcher; McGregor,
| pitcher; Miller, first base; Matthews,
! second base; Casbeer, short; Dawson,
short; Cornett, third base; Skaggs,
left field. Whigham, center field; R.
I Shanks, right field. Red Haby was
j chief umpire and, Wayne Casbeer
| was base umpire.

So said Dr. Peter Bassoe of Chi-
Dickens also received the offerings.
Most of the business that was dis-
cussed was postponed till next meet-
ing. Mrs. Otto Rathman, chairman on
stewardship, took her place on the

of how a noted musician felt about

of how a successful merchant re-

involves the securing of revenue from

from consideration.
While no definite policy concern-

lia works program has been made, it
is known of good authority that it
will be an unusually liberal one.

“Just Away”
I can not say, I will not say he is
dead,
He’s just away with a cheery smile,
a wave of the hand.
He has wandered into an unknown
land, and left us dreaming.
How very fair it need must be
since he lingers there.
v
And you Oh You who thee, thee
wildest yearn,
For the old time steps and the glad
return,
Think of him dear in the land of
there as the land of here.
Think of him as the same I say
He’s not dead, he’s just away.
