Aftei the Kingsville Brahmas
beat massive Cleburne. I just
couldn t imagine Breckenridge be-
ing any better than that giant Cle-
burne team. So 1 picked Kingsville
to knmk off Breckenridge 24 to

I felt sure til my prediction un'il
the tans' bus upon which I rode
to the game came in sight ol
Breckenridge But as I saw Breck-
enridge as the bus approached the
town and then drove through it.
I became vaguely uneasy. By the
time I had gotten out of the bus
entered the Buckaroo.' 'stadium,
and climbed to the press Ikjn. I
had deep down aching ieeiing that
Kingsville was going to get tile

Even Or Above
That Of 1958
Breckenridge and Stephens coun-
ty enter Ihe new year with a
good vear in general recorded,
and prospects for a belter year in
1959.
This was the oicture thai gie'-
out. of inquiries in a number of kev
points And ihis. despite the fart
that a drop was shown in some key
indicators during 1958.
Retail trade was as good or b«-t.
ter in 1958 than in 1959, with excep-
tions so few that the general avci-
age leaves the picture as good. <<r
belter, than in 1957
Report on the oil industrv i- that
billing activities in the cointv
show a drop in 1958. but sheer
I drilling was held to be one reason
for a better prospect next year.
It was added that there is not as
much surplus crude and there i. a
; .stronger market. Activities in
1959 depend upon the President';
plan lo curb imports, imports being
'he main factor in Ihe drop in drill-
ing activities lasi year.
Another drop in a key indicator
is that of bank deposits, but even
there the outlook brightens. He.
posits dropped because of the re-
moval of lunds ol the Milton Daniel
estate that of Chemical Pro-
cess. but disreparding these two
factors Ihe trend has lieen upward
which make for a better 1959 on
that score The prediction in hank-
ing circles as "another promising
y ear."
In the basic cattle Industry the
local situation is bright. This is
based upon pasture conditions that,
are the best in many years, and
wilh prices better. Cnusual heavy
rainfall has changed the drouth
period years trom little grass or
dust to good cover. Rainfall of ap-
proximately 31 inches during 195S
was approximately ten inches
