Of all the lovely inland roads in
Palo Pinto County, none is more
picturesque, nor more scenic, than
the Santo road. I his road winds
and twists over, and down the
mourttain, showing one deep can-
yons, and valleys, and distant
scenes of beautiful country. It is
really breath taking, I he main
highway is being improved, and a
detour is made by the John Boyd
farm. As one winds down the
mountain south of the Boyd farm
the view is awe-inspiring and thrill-
ing. There's a charm to a quiet
country road, far from the busy
highway, where the songs of the
birds break the stillness, where
i n s p c t s drone like a minia-
ture orchestra, and where green
lizards blink at one from moss
covered rocks.

For a Sunday drive hie south
fro r^Palo Pinto. You’ll see beauty
enough in one afternoon to make
up for a week's journey through
many states. The trip will be
worth while if you don’t go any
farther than Mrs. J. E. Daves’ lovely
rose garden on Ward Mountain,
was a thing of beauty when 1 be-
held it a few weeks ago.

Allen Disharoon of Strawn was
just about the first fisherman to
catch his limit of fish in the beauti-
ful Strawn Lake May 1. By ten
o'clock he had come to town with
five handsome bass. Walter Cara-
way and his pretty wife went out
to fish at an early hour, but luck
was against them. They had sev-
eral nibbles, lost two fish, and final-
ly Mrs. Caraway lost her pole, and
they came home in disgust. Crit
Abernathy was the only local fish-
erman we heard about who was
out bright and early May 1. He
caught one of the largest fish, a
five pound bass, that has been
caught in Mineral Wells Lake this
season. R. F. Jones caught a simi-
lar fish weighing five pounds and
ten ounces.

•um Kingdom Lake
L A Proctor of the State Fish
Hatckery, Cisco, passed through
Palo Pinto Thursday, May 2, with
42.000 more bass, advanced fry,
for the big Possum Kingdom Lake.
This was the second load in a
week’s time. Twenty five thous-
and of this load were Calico bass
or black crappie. On Friday he
took 50,000 more bass to the lake.
Some day this huge lake will be
a fisherman’s paradise, and just as
sure as “mighty oaks from little
acrons grow," big fish from these
tiny ones will grow, and when the
lake is filled, fishermen will not
have to wait to enjoy their favorite
sport as there will be plenty oj fish
to catch.
All species will later be deliver-
ed, and it will be interesting to keep
track of the number of fish taken
to the lake by the hatchery. Just
remember that at present 163,000
have been delivered! 71,000 the
first load, 42,000 the second and
50.000 the third.
