Area sports spotlight will be on the Coop-
/i. er bulldogs Friday night as they play the
iritt Brahmas in Bulldog stadium. Game time is 7:45.
The Friday night encounter will give Coach Jimmie
anes’ gridders their biggest chance at statewide prestige,
ace the Brahmas are currently ranked among the top AA
pams in the state.
Pewitt has a 3-1 record this year which is a little shy of
Bulldog’s sparkling 4-1 mark.
Anticipating one of the largest crowds to ever attend a
rOtball game in Cooper, school officials have moved in ex-
fa bleachers for the Friday night game.
Cooper fans are reminded that the game will get under-
ay at 7:45 p m. instead of 3 p m. as in the past.
The turf at Bulldog stadium is in the best condition ever
.id the stadium is one of the better equipped plants of AA
bhools in this section. Parking facilities have been increased
rith the development of the Tally lot west of the stadium
jto an accessible and well lighted parking area.
Let's all support the Bulldogs by attending the game
riday night.

The precocious political plans of some Massachusetts
;n-agers appear to ha\e been nipped in the bud. The
jungsters, including a girl, decided to run for the state’s
louse of Representatives on the basis of a loophole they
>und in the law which neglected to place an age limitation
independent candidates . . State officials have been not-
>ly ill-humored about the whole thing, regarding it as a
irticularly embarassing bit of teen-aged prankishness ...
seems these kids ought to be praised rather than censured
ft taking such an active interest in politics. How many
pownups have ever studied their state statutes? How many
)n’t even bother to vote?

There is more money invested in newspaper advertising
in in all other advertising media combined. If a merchant
?nt every minute of his life counting out one dollar bills,
could never reach the amount all advertisers invest in
fwspapers in one year ... something over four billion dol-
rs.

MRS. H. F. CUMMINGS
Although she is not r. native
of Delta County, Mrs. H. F.
Cummings has spent many
years of her life in the county,
and now lives alone at 340 SW
Ninth St. Cooper.
Daughter of Henry and Joan
(Fowelks) Henry, the former
Anna Henry was born in
Queen City, Cass County, on
March 6. 1890. The family mov-
ed to Delta County when she
was a young child and lived in
the county for 4 years before
moving to Fannin County
where they lived until Decem-
ber, 1910 when they returned
to Delta County, settling in
Pecan Gap for a two-year re-
sidence before coming to Coop-
er in 1912. After spending
three years in Cooper they
moved to a farm just north of
Cooper, remaining there for
By Fern Jefferson
15 years before returning to
Cooper.
On Dec. 28, 1913, Anna
Henry became the bride of W.
M. Davidson who had come to
Delta County from Tennessee.
They were the parents of three
children, all' of whom are liv-
ing. including Mrs. Emely Jo
Gantt of Bonham, Mrs. Ruby
Lee Cummings of Antioch, and
W. M. Davidson Jr. of Salinas,
Calif. Mr. Davidson died on
March 23, 1948.
Her second marriage was to
H. F. Cummings of Cooper on
June 27, 1954, and his death
occured on Oct 16, 1959.
Mrs. Cummings joined the
Baptist Church when she was
16 years old, and has long
been active in the work of the
Bethel Baptist Church of
Cooper.
Asked about politics, Mrs.
Cummings said “I’m a Demo-
crat and I always vote”.
Mrs. Cummings attributes
her unusually good health to
the fact that she has never
drunk coffee or tea, never
smoked and never used snuff.
Her doctor recently told her
that if she keeps up this record
she will doubtless live to be
100 years old, she said.
Hobbies of Mrs. Cummings
are piecing quilts and quilling
and raising flowers. She takes
great pride in her home flow-
er garden and spends much of
her time there. She also does
all of her housework.
Her children continue to
draw much of her interest,
and she now has six grand-
children and five great-grand-
children.
Thought Of The Week
It is not important to be
serious as it is to be serious
I; about the important things.
