This And That About One Thing and Another

This area was isit,d by scatter-ed showers again Monday after-noon. and in some sections heavy rain and damaging hail fell. In the Gasoline community farmers who had just completed replanting af-ter last week's hall and wind storm are trying to save what they can of their planting and some are hav-ing to replant.

Is town the lightening was the worse feature of the storm, and a tree in front of the grade school building ass stuck by lightning and splintered.

Gene Berry has sold the house which he started several weeks ago to Mr and Mrs. Elmer Lanham. The house has not been complet-ed, and work is going along slowly at present, as Gene is also busy with his crop. However it will be an attractive place, stucco finish when completed. And we're sure it will be well-kept as Lavern already has Elmer working in the yard. The new house Is located just west of the Methodist parsonage. Gene has bought a lot on the same street, east of the park, and will build a house on it as soon as he finishes this one. •—

Another new house was started this week—one we've been antici-pating for a long time. Pierce Hewitins is gathering the material and ready to begin on the new home for Mr and Mrs. Jake Mer-rell which is located in the north-east part of town.

Another news item we left out last month was that Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. McFall have moved in to town.

Frank Wise visited his daughter and husband, Rev. and Mrs. Joe Taylor at Fort Worth last week, and the first thing he did when he came home was to renew their sub-scription to The Post, and told us to be sure and let them know he had done that for them, so here 'Us, Joe and Haney, your subscript_ ion is paid for another year.

Mrs. Victor Hall also subscribed for a new subscription for her daughter Mrs. Gid B. Adkisson, Jr. of Abernathy.

Cotton stalks that looked like they were grown in a nursery were brought in Monday morning by Orb Payne, who says he has 120 acres of the same. The stalks are

about a foot high and have squar-ed out. Healthiest looking money-

making weeds we ever saw. The cotton is from his father Cecil Payne's place, south of town. iThe above mentioned cotton stalk has been the source of more conver-sation than you could shake a stick at. "It will make—it won't stand dry weather—etc." Time will

tell.

Mr. a nd Mrs. Jim Partin of Pas-cagoula, Miss., arrived Monday

evening for a ten-days visit with relatives and friends here, while

Jim is on vacation from his ship building. Jim switched from cot-ton gins to ship yards for his bread-and-butter, but he still likes

fried chicken for a side dish, he says. )Quitaque relatives, please

note.)

Hall Motor Co. delivered a snaz-

zy new Oldsmobile to Pete Rice Saturday, which. sure takes a load

off Pete's feet. He sild his jet-pro-willed Ford several weeks ago, and since has been thumbing his way. The new streamlined Olds 8 will

soon get broken in to Pete's speed. In fact, it will start now as soon as the ignition is turned on and with-out stepping on the gas.

A new daughter was born June 5 to Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Thornton of Clifton, Ariz. The little girl was named Shirley, and she is a grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Gra-ham of Quitaque and Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Thornton of Plainview.

PINK AND BLUE SHOWER IS PRETTY AFFAIR

The Rhoderick Hotel was the scene of a beautifully appointed tea Tuesday afternoon, and a "pink and blue" shower for Mrs. Jim Shy. The whole affair was a surprise to the honoree who was invited to come out for a Bible school program, and did not dream of the purpose of the occasion un-til she was presented with the lovely array of gifts.

Hostesses for the shower were Mmes. Frank Gillespie, Mort Haw-kins, J. C. Rhoderick, Jr., Roy Bur-gess and Orlin Stark and Mrs. J. C. Rhoderick, Sr.

Floral arrangements denoting wiches and pink and blue decorat-sweetpeas and greenery were plac-ed about the reception rooms and the gift display room. At the lace covered chunk table, where Mrs. Rhoderick, Jr., presided at the crystal punch bowl, rolled sand-

iwiches and pin kand blue decorat-ed individual cakes, were served. The centerpiece was a pretty cradle covered with ribbon, and trimmed with flocked plumosa in which a small doll was lying on a blanket of sweetpeas.

The promised program was pre-sented and ir,kluded music by Miss Patsy Stark at the piano, and also some accordion selections by Miss Stark, a prayer and reading by Mrs Roscoe Trostle, an appropriately humorous reading by Miss Jo Dean Bedwell, a song "Mighty Lak A Rose", by Miss Margaret Owens and a quartet arrangement of Brahm's Lullaby by Mmes.

You may have to do a little figur-

ing to discover that it says:

"ELECTRICITY IS A BAR-

figuring to realize what a great

bargain your electric service

really is!

Your pocketbook tells you that

living costs have sky-rocketed-

that nearly everything costs more

nowadays. But not your electric

service! The average family served
