Washington home; Spottsylvania,
the Confederate cemetery, and in
each state through which they
passed, the party paused to in-
spect the Capitol buildings.
The return trip was by a differ-
ent route, visiting historic spots
such as Atlanta, Ga., where they
drove down Peach Tree Street
(Gone with the Wind) and saw
the Cyclorama depicting the Bat-
tle of Atlanta, Hoganville, Ga., and
the mammoth rubber plant, Warm
Springs, the center of tlje Polio

Plaintiff’s Petition filed in said
Court on the 27th day of April A.
D. 1954, this cause, numbered
53,754-C on the docket of said
court and styled Ivy Richardson
Plaintiff, vs. Lewis Richardson
Defendant.
A brief statement of the nature
of this suit is as follows to-wit:
After alleging jurisdiction plain-
tiff further alleges that she and
defendant were married on or
about February 6, 1926 and con-
tinued to live together as husband
and wife until on or about Nov-
ember 25, 1950, when by reason
of cruel, harsh and tyrannical
treatment on the part of the de-
fendant toward this plaintiff with-
out cause or provocation was of
such a nature as to render their
further living together insupport-
able; that there were several chil-
dren born of this union and that
three of said children are still
minors; and that there is no com-
munity property.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays that
defendant be cited to appear and
answer herein, and that upon trial
hereof she have judgment for
divorce, custody of minor children;
that a proper and suitable provis-
ion be made for the support of
said minor children; and for such
other and further relief, in law or
in equity, to which she may show
herself justly entitled.
If this citation is not served
within ninety days after the date
of issuance, it shall be returned
unserved.

cess shall promptly execute the

covered with a lace cloth over
gold damask and was centered
with a gorgeous arrangement of
yellow Peace roses in a crystal
bowl.
Other floral arrangements in
the reception suite included radi-
ance roses in brass containers.
Color schemes in the other rooms
of the home were pointed up with
artistically arranged spiring
flowers.
In the receiving line were Rev.
and Mrs. Iwig, their son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Open House Sunday
Presbyterian Manse
Open house was held Sunday
from 3:30 to 5:30 p. m. by Rev.
and Mrs. Jesse A. Iwig in the
newly decorated manse of the
First Presbyterian Church, located
at 508 South Waggoner Street.
The colors, gold and maroon
were featured in the reception
saw both white and pink dog-
wood in bloom. The flowering hem-
lock, crabapple, wistaria trees and
mountain laurel were breath-tak-
ing, Mrs. Gillum said, in their
beauty and fragrance.
They left historic monuments
behind in touring ^the highly spe-
cialized industrial cities of North
Carolina. Sightseeing along the
way included one of the largest
paper mills in the world in Can-
ton, N. C„ the Enks Village, a ray-
on fabric mill, Asheville, and the
Biltmore Mansion and its fabulous
grounds were no less imposing to
these touring Texas Baptists who
were interested in seeing the fa-
mous Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly
camp grounds.
The tobacco processing plants
and markets, places where famous
name-brand cigarettes are made,
and the factories which turn out
equally as popular brands of cot-
ton goods such as the Dan River
ginghams, vied for attention as the
party visited Statesville, N. C.,
where Mrs. Gillum’s father, a Con-
federate veteran of the Civil War
took part in the battle in which
Gen. Stonewall Jackson's army
captured the city. A Confederate
Memorial and Library claimed at-
tention at Danville.
Entering Virginia the party was
surprised to see preparation for
harvest of wheat and oats, weeks Johnston, and little son, Raymond,
earlier than in Texas. They saw
tobacco being planted and saw
many huge tobacco factories. In
to of Lookout Mountain which of-
fers a marvelous view of the city,
the valleys below and the moun-
tains in the distance. The exqui-
site Hanging Gardens, romantic
Lovers Leap from where parts of
seven states may be seen on a
clear day and the Fairy Land Cav-
ern in Lookout Mountain were fit-
ting preparations for a day of
sightseeing on the Civil War bat-
tlefields, Chickamaugua, Chattan-
ooga, Missionary Ridge and the fa-
mour Orchard Knob as well as the
National Military Park.

Mountain region by way of the na-

A visit in the congressional halls
In the nation’s capitol during a
McCarthy investigation session, a
tour of the senate chamber and
seeing the spots where the Puerto
Rican’s blasted holes in the sena-
torial fixtures were mere side-
lights of a recent trip made by a
group of Electra folks to Washing-
ton, D. C. The McCarthy quiz was
a quiet and comparatively orderly
•assembly the day Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard Gillum of Electra and
their son and daughter-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Kent Gillum of Hous-
ton were there. When John Stall-
ing, a secretary in the office of the
13th District Congressman Frank
Ikard personally conducted the
group through the legislative halls
the damage done by the bullets of
the Puerto Ricans had been re-
paired but he showed his fellow-
Texans where and how it happen-
ed.
The party rode the underground
trolley connecting the capitol and
the senate offices. They ate in
the senate cafeteria and were per-
sonally conducted through the
Pentagon building by Col. Robert
Jarrell whose sister in Wichita
Falls is a friend of Mrs. Leonard
Gillum. Congressman Ikard, a for-
mer schoolmate of Mrs. Gillum,
Senator Lyndon Johnson and his
co-worker Walter Jenkins, a nat-
ive of Jolly, Clay County, gave the
party every courtesy possible, pro-
viding tickets to enable them to
attend a session of the 83rd Cong-
ress and to attend the McCarthy
hearing.
A visit to the tomb of the Un-
known Soldier, Mount Vernon, the
home of George Washington, Lin-
coln’s monument and all of the
historic spots on the agenda of the
tourists to the nation’s capitol ad-
ded to the pleasant memories as
well as the volume of pictures
secured by the younger Gillums.
One of Mrs. Leonard Gillum’s com-
ments in regard to Washington was
relative to cleanliness of the city
and the granduer of its marbled
halls and gilded splendor, as well
as the beauty of the flowers and
stately trees. The restoration pro-
ject in Williamsburg, Va., Was an-
other highlight.
But all of this is getting ahead
of the travel story as related by
Mrs. Gillum who kept a "log" on
the tour which began at Houston
on April 23 and ended when the
older couple parked their car in
the garage at their home on West
Roosevelt Avenue on May 9.
The first sightseeting stop after
leaving Houston and driving
through the deep south on a lov-
ely spring day was at the Bclling-
rath Gardens in Mobile, Ala. The
party missed the peak of the sea-
son for the Azalea Trail and the
azalea blossoms in the famous
gardens, but they saw many other
beautiful and unusual flowers,
shrubs and trees.
Kent Gillum took along his mo-
tion picture equipment and at Bir-
mingham, Ala, they spent two
hours at night on the 26th Street
Viaduct waiting to get a shot at
the huge tanks of molten metal
from the furnaces being dumped
into the water, in the valley below.
They visited the huge monument,
"God of the Forge” on top of the
mound of iron ore of Red Moun-
tain from which it was cast. The>
pig-iron industry was especially
interesting to the oil field people.
The highway leading to Birming-
ham, the ore capitol of the South,
was lined with roses. One of the
highlights of their stay in that vic-
inity was a visit to Vesta Via, a
replica of the temple of the Greek
Goddess Vesta in Rome, Italy.
