County Tax Payments
Coming In Nicely
Shelby county tax payers,
thb year, had a tax bill of
$196,290.00 which was appor-
tioned according
renditions.
Since receiving their notifi-
cation of amount due the coun-
ty and state a large number of
property owners have been is-
sued receipts with the result
that approximately 63 per cent
of the total has been paid into
the office of HUis D. Wilburn,
tax collector-assessor.
Perhaps one reason for this
good record Is that the tax
payers were granted a three
per cent discount by paying
their taxes during October.
For the month of November
a 2 per eent discount will be
allowed, followed by a 1 per
cent discount in December.
Dwight D. Eisenhower has
been re-elected President by a
landslide, obtaining a smash-
ing popular and electorial vote
over his Democratic opponent
Adlai E. Stevenson.
Incomplete returns Wednes-
day morning gave Si^nh^ypr
a popular vote of 30,927,488 as
compared with 22,154,000 for
Stevenson, giving Eisenhower
a smashing electoral vote.
From Chicago Stevenson
conceded the election of Eisen-
hower shortly after midnight,
following which President Eis-
enhower, in Washington, ex-
pressed appreciation for the
fine vote of confidence in his
administration.
In Texas Eisenhower again
was victorious, leading Steven-
son by more than 180,000
votes. Incomplete returns give
benhower 878,236, and Stev-
enson 690,237.

Clash With Diboll Brings
27 to 7 Victory For Bears.
■
(By Ray Powers) .
The Timpson Bears are still
leading District 22-A as they
rolled over the Diboll Lumber-
jacks Friday night by a'icore
of 26 to 7.
Early in the first! period. the
Lumberjacks, on the fourth
down, threw a long pais* to the
left end for their only score of
the game. The extra point was
good.
In the second quarter rive
Bears tremendous down field
blocking carried H. M. Fletch-
er for 66 yards and the Bears’
first touchdown. The point was
no good and at half-time Lum-
berjacks led 7 to 6 over the
Bears. The Lumberjacks play-
ed a "heads-up’’ ball game the
first half as fumble* hurt the
running attack of the Bears.
In the second half the Bears
came roaring back with Fletch-
er leading the running again.
Fitts, -Herndon, and Powers
also did fine running for the
Bean to help set- up the last
three touchdowns. Fletcher
went over left tackle for 45
yards and a score. The punt
was no good.
Late in the third quarter,
the Bears went 66 yards in 7
plays to the 8-yard line.
Fletcher took the ball and rac-
ed 8 yards for the touchdown,
but the extra point wm* no
good. In the last minutes of
the game, Willie Herndon, the
quarterback, on a keeper play,
went around right end 16
yards for the last touchdown
of the game.
The Bears’ offense and de-
fense played a hard game. Ev-
ery boy on the Bear squad,
whether he was on the bench
or on the field, -has
played
a
great part in the
Bears!-«i(M-
cessful season up to now:”

According to the thermome-
ter, located in the city plaza,
Timpson’* quota of $1842.60
in the County United Fund
drive has reached approxi-
mately the half-way mark. So-
licitors making a recent can-
vass in town met with encour-
aging success, it is stated by E.
E. Phelps and Robin Hooper,
co-chairmen of the local drive.
It is hoped to push the ther-
mometer register to the top,
and to do this about nine hun-
dred dollars is yet to he sub-
scribed. If you have not been
approached by the solicitors,
please contact either Mr.
Phelps or Mr. Hooper aa it is of
vital importance that Timpson
reaches the quota for this
worthy cause.
County chairman of the
drive, B. E. Malone, is anxious
tp hear from ail area* that
have not yet turned in the
amount collected so that a full
report can he made in the very
near future.
According to Mr. Malone,
$8,500 has been reported, only
a little more than half the $13,-
000 quota, and indicates that
quotas from each town in the
county is badly needed if the
full quota it raised on time. He
reports a large number of 100
per eent given by various
plants and business concerns.
Mr. Malone stated today
that it is hoped that the money
would soon be collected, and a
final report prepared by the
end of this week, bat more
time may be necessary for all
the committees to fill in their
cards. The cooperation of the
larger plants over the county
has been excellent, and com-
plete reports from these are
expected to be turned in by the
latter part of this week.

ness man, is back at home re-
