Former Resident
Traffic Fatality
Funeral rites were held Mon-
day at Texarkana for James Ed-
ward Burleson of Texarkana, a
former resident of this area. Rev.
K. K. Cooper was the officiant,
and burial was made in Bogata
Cemetery.
Deceased was fatally injured
early Sunday morning at Simms,
when an automobile struck him
as he was crossing Highway 67
near James Bowie High School.
He was pronounced dead upon
arrival at a Naples hospital.
Officers said Burleson had
stopped his car on the highway
near a pond to get water for his
radiator when he was struck by
a car as he attempted to cross the
road.
If you get a bill that you
know has been paid. Prov-
ing it may not be so easy if
you used cash.
Bills that you pay by check

would be a good idea to

the morning.

Larkin Gooch, in charge of the
poultry division, said the broiler
exhibits ‘‘are mostly for and by
the youngsters.”
Gooch said the broiler indus-
try has made remarkable strides
during the past few years and is
still growing.
‘‘We have 135 broiler houses in
Red River County that are pro-
ducing 375.000 broilers every
three months.“he said.
A horse show was also on the
fair’s list of attractions,
included registered horses,
erican saddle horse.*; and Shetland
ponies.
Roping and cutting
were held nightly.
The Red River County Fair,
dormant for many years, was re-
organized in 1956. Its backers
hope eventually to erect perman-
ent buildings to house the ex-
hibits.
There was no admission charge.
The budget was raised by volun-
tary contributions.
Alex Simpson was general
chairman of the fair division and
J. H. Summers general chair-
man of the livestock division.

Augic Vaught, about 28, a crop
duster pilot, died Thursday of in-
juries received when his plane
crashed near Annona. The acci-
dent occurred while Vaught,
whose home was at Blanco, was
spraying a cotton field.
Cause of the accident has not
been determined, the plane being
a total loss. Reports varied as to
the plane’s altitude and speed as
the pilot made a sharp turn at the
end of a field on the Riley Har-
vey f;eni, southwest of Annona.
The right wing and propeller
struck the ground, the plane nos-
ed over but did not burn. Slick
McGuire was workiiv/ as fl ig-
man for the plane while Vaught
was 'lusting the field.
