One question often asked of TUis-

the favorite of the Confederacy.
It was sung at the inauguration
of Jeiferson Davis at Montgomery,
Ala., on Feb. 18, 1861, when he
was made president of the sev-
en Southern states breaking away
from the Union.
Some Southerners believed the
word originated iu 1845 when Texas
first joined ihe Union and the Neg-
roes referred to the state in their
songs as "Dixie."
And there are versions that the

and corruption of "Mason and Dix-

named Johaau Dixie owned land
on New York's Manhattan Island

Soon after it was organized, the

THE Pltlie
The City Commission of the City of Breckenridge,
Texas, in session on August 5, 1958 voted unanimously
to discontinue making additional water connections or
giving new water service to OUTSIDE City limits
propert}, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY;
This action was taken because of the many services
being applied for arid because of the present lines
outside the city being over loaded at the present time.
It is to the point that each new customer connected
causes an older customer further out on the lines to be
without water service.

If you art on* of thosa souls not satisfied with tha outcome of the
Civil War, and who firmly believes the South will rise again, you will
enjoy "Band of Angels," our Sunday-Monday fare at the Corral.
If ycu bel'eve in mint julips and Southern gentlemen, you will
enjoy Clark Gables performance; if you think the South sires beautiful
women, you will thrill to Yvonne DeCarlo. And certainly cne of the
finest colored actors to hit Hollvwocd since Lena Horn is Sidney
Poitier, who also plavs a stirrinn role in "Band Of Annels."
Gable's rele is comparable to his immortal Rhett Butler in "Gone
With The Wind" . . . however he is a dyed in the wcol Southerner in
Band Of Anoels 1 instead of the orotiteermg sold'er of fortune that he
pcrtrayed in "Gone With The Wind." We think that evervone will enjoy
thi® picture ... it wa, • Imed in color and has some lavish scenes that
can be labeled spectacular.
