an inspection of areas both north
and south of Wills Point with a
view to making a recommendation
for a small soil erosion project in
this vicinity, his trip covering be-
tween 3,500 and 4,000 acres in
each area.
The Wills Point chamber of
commerce, with the co-operation
of landowners and farmers gener-
ally, has been making an earnest
effort to secure a project here. On
Friday 37 people, principally far-
mers, made another trip to Lin-
dale to visit the soil erosion ser-
vice, the contingent representing
13,800 acres of land in this coun-
ty. The trip was made to secure
information as to the work and
impress those in authority that
they are in earnest about want-
ing similar work done here.

Following is the report of the
grand jury made to Judge G. 0.
Crisp at the conclusion of their
investigations during the recent
term of district court:
We, the grand jury for the
April term, 1935, beg to submit
to your honor the following re-
ports :
We have been in session a total
of ten days. We have examined a
total of 190 witnesses and return-
ed 44 indictments for felonies
and two for misdemeanors.
We recommend that the con-
stables and the justices of the
peace diligently enforce the laws
in misdemeanor violations and file
complaints in the proper court on
same; and we further recommend
that the constables of various pre-
cincts take care of violations with-
in their respective precincts and
not try to enforce the law in some
other precincts, except in cases
where it is imperative that the
neighboring constable must have
help in the enforcement of the
law within their precinct.
We wish to render our sincere
thanks to your honor for your
faithful and continuous services
with us. We also wish to thank
the county attorney for his ear-
nest efforts in assisting us in per-
forming our duties; also the sher-
iff, the riding bailiffs and the
door bailiff.
We also are glad to note that
the criminal docket of the district
court of this county is in good
shape. We find that there are few
cases to carry over and that the
docket is in better shape in that
regard than it has been in years.
We find that numerous in-
stances of voting by unqualified
voters occur in the trustee elec-
tions in the county, and that such
is a source of trouble to the board
of education and county superin-
tendent. We recommend that the
election officials comply with the
law regarding elections. This will
eliminate community trouble and
promote harmony in the school
districts.
We have examined both the
jail and the courthouse and find
that they are in excellent condi-
ion considering the conditions of

W. C. Samford died at the fam-
ily home in Wills Point Friday,
May 31, at 5 p. m. Funeral ser-
vices were held at the Methodist
church Saturday afternoon at 3
o’clock, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. J. E. Buttrill. The church
was well filled with neighbors and
friends for the last sad rites, ma-
ny beautiful floral offerings being
in evidence of love and sympathy.
Walter C. Samford was born in
Chambers county, Ala., Aug. 23,
1830. He joined the Methodist
church at the age of 15 years and
lived a consistent Christian life.
His grandfather, father and un-
cle and two brothers were Meth-
odist preachers. One brother, W.
J. Samford, served as governor
of Alabama. Only one brother, R.
M. Samford, survives out of a
family of 13 children. He was
first married at the age of 22 to
Miss Rosa Lee Herring in Ala-
bama. To this union were born
six 'children, five of whom sur-
vive as follows: Will T. Samford
and Mrs. R. D. Russell, Wills
Point; Mrs. Wm. Thomas, Rusk;
Mrs. Oliver Mallory, Mabank;
Mrs. Jim Miller, Kennefic, Okla.
His second marriage was to Miss
Frances M. Baldwin of Dallas in
1895. His wife and three of the
four children bom to this union
survive: Mrs. A. O. Loughmiller,
Canton; Miss Birdie and Crawford
Samford, who live at home.
Mr. Samford was a resident of
Wills Point for 59 years and dur-
ing all that time took an active
part in community affairs and
church work until his health
broke down. ‘ ‘
