NOW IS THE TIME
*4. FOR ALL GOOD MEN ...
Next 'i uesday is Election Day. This is a time of peren-
lial, electric excitement which seems unique only to elec-
|tions. Also, it is a time of sobering sadness.
Here’s why: This vear in Texas there are an estimated
15,900,000 people over 21, but only 3,110,000 are eligible to
Ivote And that “eligibility estimate" takes in everybody:
poll-taxpayers, folks who were issued exempt ions and those
who live in towns who do not require over-age exemptions,
and those who registered under the federal provision.

So, right off the bat we lost more than two million po-
tential voters.
Now, some forecasters predict a voting turnout of
12,500.000 Texans. That would be a record, but not a record
of which to be proud.
That means only about seven out of ten Texans who are
I eligible to vote will take time out to do so.
You -- and only you -- can do something about it. Only
lyou can go to the poils; only you can cast your vote.
eluding Hubert McKinney of
Pickton, Jesse H., Mrs. Nellie
Mae Bush and John McKinney,
all of Ft. Worth, Mrs. Agnes
McFadden of Greenville, and
Kenneth Earl McKinney of
Sulphur Springs. He also has
11 grandchildren and one
great-grandchild.
After devoting his life to
farming, Mr. McKinney retired
six years ago from his farming
\ t nture at Kensing, and three
years later moved to Cooper.
He and his second wife, the
former Ida Delco of Greenville
to whom he w a s married in
1960, now reside at 751 E. Ft.
Worth, Cooper.
Although Mr. McKinney has
never joined a church, he says
that he leans toward the
Pentecostal faith. In politics,
he says he votes for the man
inst ad of a party.
“Except for flu shots I
haven’t had to have a doctor
in years, ar.d for a man of my
age this is something to be
thankful for”, he said.
Since his retirement Mr
McKinney is taking life easy.
He comes to town nearly
every day and visits with
many friends whose age com-
pares with his. They often re-
call events of the past as wel'
as discuss the condition of the
world of today as they view it.
j. o. McKinney
It's up to you. You are voting for more than yourself.
| You are voting for half of Texas which can’t vote for them-
;lves.

A vote is not something vou can put in a bank and save;
I it must be used on Election Day or else it is lost forever.

With the exception of three
months in Arkansas, J. G. Mc-
Kinney has spent his entire
life in Delta County.
Son of the late Tom and
Denicy (Horton) McKinney, he
was born near Vasco in north-
east Delta County on Aug. 17.
1890, and therefore has reach-
ed the age of 74 years. His fa-
ther died when he w a s five
years old, and he was reared
by his mother, who died 25
years ago.
In 1915 Mr. McKinney mar-
ried Miss Maudie Finch, a n d
she died in 1959. They were
the parents of six children, in-

the right amount of fun. That
same day school started at

early, believe me.
A new student has recently
moved to CHS from Cochran,
Georgia. His name is Joel Rob-
erson and he is sixteen years

interview but it was kinda
short because the bell' rang.
