Wortham Bulldogs opened their
new football field right Friday night
when they defeated the Coojldge
Yellowjackets by the score of 12-0.
The game was typical of an early
season contest, full of thrills, at
times, evidences of ragged play at
others, but for the most pert it was a
well player affair.
Wortham received the opening
kick-gff with Miller making a nice re-
turn. Wortham’s drive was halted
and Weidner punted. Williams of
the Yellowjackets made determined
threats at the line but could not get
loose. The ball was then worked beck
and forth for the remainder of the
first quarter with a slight advantage
going to Wortham.
Early in the second quarter Worth-
am reached pay territory on a sus-
tained drive and Weidner went ever
for a touchdown “on an off-tackle
play. Bell’s attempt for the esjtra
point was missed by a margin of a
few inches.
Wortham played hard ball in the
third quarter but the Bulldog backs
could not get loose, mainly due to
the clean tackling of Wallace Lahon
and Riddle. In this quarter both
teams began showing the effects of
not being in condition. However, in
the fourth quarter the Bulldogs gain-
ed their “second wind” and put over
a sustained drive for a second touch-
down with Miller going over for a
touchdown through center. Bell’s
try for point was blocked by B.
Adams.
Wortham’s bright spots of the con-
test were Weidner’s running, H. J..
Irvin’s play at : defensive tackle,
Dwain Terry’s marked improvamant
as a blocker, and the play of guards
in carrying out the defensive tackles.
K. A. Riley played a good game jn
his debut as a back. When he im
proves his pass snatching ability and
learns what to do in an open field
JAPANESE TEA IS GIVEN BY
MRS. FRED W. HORN MONDAY
A Japanese tea was given Monday
afternoon by Mrs. Fred W. Horn
td entertain the members of the
Woman’s Missionary Society the
Methodist Episcopal church. _ The
home was decorated with Japanese
hangings, fans, pillows, ornaments
and lighted Japanese, lanterns which
were off-set by cut flowers in orien-
tal flower bowls.
The hostess and all those taking
part in the program were dressed in
beautiful japanese costumes giving
an oriental atmosphere to the meet-
ing.
Little Myrtle Marie Ogle dressed
in costume gave out programs which
were on japanese fans. An introduc-
tion to the mission study book,
"Suzuke Looks at Japan,” by Lamott,
which will be studied by the group
for the next six weeks was brought
ty Mrs. Horn, Superintendent of
Study in the Auxiliary.
The program was opened by a
guest artist, Little Brownie Hope
Wimberly playing a piano solo, “The
Bells;” and Misses Christine Bounds,
Mayme Louise Bates, Winifred Horn
and Mildred Reese sang “Cherry
Bossoms,” accompanied by Mrs. Dick
Wimberly.
A play on the first chapter of the
mission book was given by Mrs. T.
Elmo Longbotham and Mrs. C. K.
Bounds.
Mrs. Joe Bates and Mrs. Clovis
Bounds presided at the beautifully
appointed tea table, pouring tea from
oriental tea pots and serving cake
squares from inlaid laquer trays.

LETTER FROM THE JURRENS’
TO DR. K. W. SNEED
My Dear Doctor Sneed:
We were, indeed, most grieved to
hear of your recent illness, but we
are confident that through God’3
help and through your courageous
spirit you soon will be about follow-
ing the work you love so much, that
of healing humanity’s hurt'in Christ’
Name. Upon receiving a letter in-
forming us of your sudden illness,
Mrs. Jurrens and I bowed our knees
and earnestly asked our heavenly
Father to stretch forth His hand
over you, as you did toward us when
Mrs. Jurrens’ life was hanging in the
balance, and, not only toward us
but toward so many in and around
Wortham.
Doctor we are praying for you and
shall continue to do so until we hear
of your complete restoration. Our
hearts are broken because of not
being able to stand by you and Mrs.
Sneed as you good people stood by
*our side only a few years ago. We
have had some little experience in
suffering ourselves during the recent
weeks, which caused the delay of
this letter. This is the first day that
I can write or speak without much
pain. I had an abscessed tooth which
the Dentist opened and after that I
contracted a congestion in my lower
jaw which laid me up for over a week.
Truly it is hard to understand the
“Why” of all our suffering, however
let us remember the words of
Hebrews 2:18, “For that He himself
suffered being tempted, He is able
to sqccor them that are tempted.
Above everything else I wish that it
could be so that I might visit you
like of old. Just to have a little chat
with you and Mrs. Sneed. You people
have meant so much to us that today
we feel ashamed of not being present
A street parade will be one of the
features of the Wortham Community
Fair to be held October 12 arid 13 un-
der the auspices of the Wortham Fu-
ture Farmers Chapter and the'local
Civic Club. The parade will be held
at 1:30 p. m. and will'be “handled by
Floyd Cole. All people are invited to
take part in the parade. Those who
may have antique cars, ox carts, bug-
gies of ancient and not remotely mod-
ern designs are especially invited to
take part.
Farm products, poultry exhibits
and community booths will be enter-
ed Friday October 12 from eight to1
twelve p. m. at the tabernacle. The
judging of these exhibits will begin
at 1:00 p. m. in order that the parade
will have the attention of the crowds
so that as much confusion as possible
may be eliminated during the judg-
ing. .
All livestock will be entered Satur-
day October 13 from 7:30 to 9:30 a.
m. and will be judged shortly there-
after. It is likely that all livestock
will be keep at the football field where
ample hitching room is available.
This measure will relieve the difficul-
ty of securing posts to be placed as
hitching stands near the tabernacle.
The new Wortham High ^School
football field will be officially dedi-
cated on the night of October 12
when the Wortham Bulldogs play
Trinidad. A twenty minute dedica-
tion program will be held prior to the
game. This program will start at
7:25.
On the following night, October 13,
the \Vortham colored football play-
ers will battle the Teague dusky Grid-
iron warriers in a game that promises
to be a stellar attraction.
An entertainment committee work-
ing solely under the auspices of the
Civic Club will provide free enter-
tainment. The program of this en-
- , . aim—| -w,—
Williams stood out on
the offensive, while Lehon,
and Adams played alert
ball.
The Bulldogs play Kosse here on
the new Friday October 28 at 7:30 in
what promises to be a hard-fought
contest. Hard work is the order of
the day in getting the boys in condi-
tion for this contest. Kosse has de
feated a classy Groesbeck eleven 19-6
which does not augur well for the
Bulldogs’ cause. The Bulldogs are
laying special plans to shackle Kosse’s
ball lugging aces, Graves and Briggs
who are two of the hardest running
backs in Central Texas.

ou may rest assured that our love
toward you causes our hearts to
symyathize with you and pray for
you. Yet there is One, our Lord and
Saviour, who understands all our
heartaches and cares for He endured
that you and I might have that Peace
beyond Understanding.
“Before you” He trod all the path
of woe,
He took the sharp thrusts with His
head bent low.
He knew deepest sorrow and pain
and grief,
He knew long endurance without
relief,
He took all the bitter from death’s
deep cup,
He kept not a blood-drop but gave
all up.
“Before you” and for you, He won
the fight
To bring you to glory and realms of
light.”
We want you to know Doctor that
we are corrstantly thinking about
you and the children join in with us
praying for Doctor Sneed. We are
sending our love and best wishes to
both, you and Mrs. Sneed. Mrs.
Sn£ed will hear from us again in just
a couple of days; however in the
meantime be brave and remember:
“Speak thou to Him for He heareth,
And spirit with spirit will meet
Nearer than He than breathing
Nearer than hands and feet.”
And now may His Grace and Love
be unto you both, peace that surpas-
sed all understanding.
Always yours for old times sake.
Rev. and Mrs. Jurrens.

(By Glenn L. Fickel)
“CJsrist is pre-eminent in all the
world” stated President Clarence A.
Sutton in the inspiring address he
gave at the Tehuacana Christian En-
deavor meeting Sunday evening.
Jesus is sufficient for all contacts;
the one thing that never changes,
the need of the highest and best, may
be found in Christ by testing Him
and finding that He is pre-eminent,
sufficient, and the highest .and best.
“God, as revealed by the Old Testa-
ment, is the Christ of the New Testa-
ment, acting as God,” was forcefully
brought out by Dr. Sutton. To Him
should be given our highest tribute,
our choicest love and our best
service.
To Miss Mabel Fowler goes the
praise for an interesting and inspir-
ing meeting and the success thereof
could in a small way, be measured by
the devotion of those who prayed so
'earnestly in the pre-prayer service
for the Lord’s guidancej The meet-
ing opened with two songs, a prayer
by Odell Osteen, a new ministerial
student, and the reading of the scrip-
ture by Miss Pauline Shivers.
The society was favored with a
piano solo by Lamar Cooper, another
new ministerial student of Westmin-
ster College, he played “The Old Rug-
ged Cross,” in a beautiful variation,
which lifted the thoughts of those
present to higher planes of life. -The
solo was followed by the address by
Dr. Sutton. The business session of
the meeting, under the leadership of
president Cleo Fowler, was conducted
in fine form, and the committee
lected by her to make nominations
for the officers of the society for the
next six months is as follows: Miss
