Monday night and made arrange-
ments for one of the outstanding
successes of 1932, “Oh, Professor”
to be staged on Thursday night,
October 20, in the High School
Auditorium.
The production is something en-
tirely new and different in the way
of entertainment and promises to
be the greatest social evefit of the
season. It takes approximately 100
local people to present this elaborate
event and the costuming is unusual
and spectacular and newspaper re-
ports throughout the entire United
States praise this unusual show.
All signs point to “Oh, Professor”,
being the high spot of entertain-
ment in Nocona and has been the
case all over the entire Country.
No one should miss attending
“Oh, Professor” at the High School
Auditorium, October 20. Watch for
further details in regard to this re-
markable production.

election Saturday.
-------------o-------------
ill
In the election in Montague coun-
ty last Saturday, a majority of 545
votes were cast favoring the issu-
ance of $60,000 in warrants for the
purpose of purchasing right-of-ways
so that the State of Texas and the
National Government may proceed
with the proposed road program, en-
tailing an expenditure of approxi-
mately one million dollars before
next July 1.
Nocona went for the warrants by
a vote of 650 for and 25 against, or
26 to 1. Other towns giving a ma-
jority for the .issue were: Bowie,
Spanish Fort, Ringgold, and Stone-
burg. Other towns defeated the
measure.
Without Nocona’s 625 majority
the election would have lost by 105
votes. With it, however, it carried
by almost two to one, or 1293 to 748.
All boxes were heard from except
New Harp, which it is estimated
polled ten or fifteen votes.

Coach Petty’s Redmen will face
another foe on the home field to-
day when the strong eleven from
Bellevue engage them in another
conference game.
Bellevue in the past has been
rated one of the weaker elevens of
the district, but this year they are
bringing to Nocona a fast and
heavy squad that played Bowie off
their feet last week-end in their
first game of the season. The In-
dians are expecting a real fight with
this squad and have been primed
for it. Long, hard drills have been
the program this week with num-
erous changes in the lineup.
In the game last week Zachary
carried the burden for the Indians
in the ball carrying department, but
was ably assisted by Wall, Pribble,
Knox and Weiss. Hill, Knox, Wil-
liams, and Garrison played a nice
game in the line. Rice has been
used a great deal this week in prac-
tice and will probable see more
action in today's game.
Large Crowd Expected.
A large group of fans are expect-
ed to view the game from the side-
lines today. Last week the opener
saw 300 or mere spectators out to
get a glimpse of the 1932 Indians.

On his way out to Prairie
Mound last Sunday afternoon,
W. H. McKenzie, Baptist pastor
of this place, was held up by
a party of young people from
the White-Priddy settlement
and asked to say the words
which united in marriage, Mr.
M. D. Leonard and Miss Ida
Shelton. This Bro, McKenzie
gladly did and the young people
went cn their way rejoicing.
On his way back to town,
Bro. McKenzie was met by some
young people from town. This
time it was Henry Reynolds who
had won the “Battles” and gain-
ed the heart and hand of one
of Nocona’s fair maidens. In
a few appropriate words the
ceremony was spoken which
binds together the lives of
Henry A. Reynolds and Miss
Anna Lou Battles.
