glimpsed a picture and story of
Michael Mopty, the little French
war orphan the Atheneum Club
adopted. For our own curiosity's
sake, we called Mrs. Oma Shep

now 12 years old and has been
adopted by the club two years. He
writes them practically every

EXCERPTS,
QUOTATIONS
AND COMMENTS
Congress adjourned last week
after a long and hectic session,
the results of their legislation,
time alone will reveal for good or
bad. Comment in our newspapers
will be varied in their opinions-
will probably give us some inter-
esting reading.
Rent controls are a thing of the
past. A bill to repeal nuisiance
taxes failed to pass. This bill
would have relieved tax on tele-
phone, railroad tickets and many
other useful necessities that de-
veloped its name nuisance taxes.
Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, chairman
of the President's Council of Eco-
nomic Advisors, for the past three J
years is resigning effective Nov.
1st. He loosed a devastating blast1
at the government for slipping
back in deficit borrowing as a way
of life, making no preparation for
husbanding funds to support the
economy should a less prosperous
time overtake us.
The Amendment to abolish poll
tax, if adopted, puts in effect a
law enacted by the last legislature
requiring registration of voters.
You will have to register your
party and vote for it in primary
elections. A democrat cannot vote
in a republican primary, neither
can a republican vote in a demo-
cratic primary. An independent
cannot participate in either, but
can vote in general elections. Take
your choice and vote for or
against this amendment.
Turkeys are reported to be plen
tiful this season and the prices
much lower than last year. The
Thanksgiving Holidays have de-
veloped into Turkey for the main
dish for food, football for enter-
tainment. |
This time of year is the sports-
man's paradise, plenty of game is
available according to reports of
the various kinds. Hunting licen-
se sales amount to quite a sum,
available for examination, the ex-
pense of the hunter is a deep,
dark secret, experience though al-
lows me to state that each kill,
is costly.
To receive a nice compliment is
pleasant and somewhat intoxicat-
ing. Do not let it make you drunk
—reason it out.
Fire Destroys
Linden Landmark
Fire almost completely destroy-
ed the old C. H. Nelson home,
built in the late 1850's, about 3
o'clock Monday morning. The 10-
room, twostory structure, adjoin-
ing the downtown section, was
owned by Dr. C. E. Davis and oc-
cupied by four families.
The old house was a landmark
in Linden and one of the oldest
houses in town.
The families all escaped but the
contents were virtually destroyed j
Loss of the house was estimated j
at about $10,000i
No estimate was made of furn- j
ishings and personal belongings.
Paint on adjoining homes was
damaged by flames and heat.

Boosters Club Bon
Fire Thursday Nov. 4
Atlanta Boosters Club met last
week with a large number of men
present and it was decided at that
time for the group to sponsor a
bonfire and pep-meeting for the
local team on the Thursday night
before the Atlanta-De Kalb game
on November 4th. Everyone is in-
vited to this celebration.
The Atlanta Band and the Mar-
oon Jackets will both perform.
President of the Boosters Club,
Dr. Joe D. Nichols, urges every
citizen to come to this first effort
by the new club and those not al-
ready belonging to the club should
join at once. The members also
voted to adopt as a uniform for
the rest of the year: a maroon
shirt and a tie with the words At-
lanta, Texas, on same. The bon-
fire will be held on the railroad
parking lot in front of Grogan's.
Remember the fun will start on
Thursday night, Nov. 3rd at 7:30
Come mt and help beat De Kalb.
It is a sober fact that Leon
Coker was drafted to become a
candidate for election to the State
Board of Education. Without his
knowledge and without any con-
sultation beforehand, a group of
citizens coming from every sec-
tion of the district, and who are
intensely interested in our schools
met in Paris and unanimously
pledged their support to Leon Cok
er for election to this position
after he was presented by repre-
sentatives from Cass, Morris and
Franklin Counties.
Leon Coker is eminently fitted
to be a State Board member. He
is one of the most interested men
in public affairs to be found in
the State. He has Riven of his
time and means without hesitation
in any way for all that is good in
Northeast Texas.
He knows the conditions all over
Northeast Texas, both education-
ally and industrially, and enjoys
the respect, confidence and esteem
of every person who knows him.
' there is honor in this position
we know of no citizen who merits
it to a greater degree, though he
has never, and is not now, seeking
any honors, as he is in no sense
an office seeker. He has no politi-
cal aspirations and will not use
the position as a stepping stone
to greater honors or position in
life.
The work of the State Board
of Education is to deal with the
educational problems in such a
way as to provide the best schools
possible for all the children of all
the people in the State. This calls
for keen business judgment and
should be backed by much ex-
perience. It calls for interest in
children and in the schools set up
for them. It calls for an open mind
without any preconceived preju-
dices of any sort. It calls for a
sense of responsibility to the peo-
ple and a devotion to duty that
will guarantee a man's unceasing
labor in the job that he has un-
dertaken.
It calls for a high sense of
moral and Spiritual values, not
just for a favored few, but for
every citizen of this State of ours.
It calls for a deep recognition on
the part of the Board members of
e place and value of that educat
ed mind in a democratic way
life.
Now, in each and every one of
these particulars, Leon Coker is
by training, experience and daily
labor, highly qualified. He is in-
dorsed by every citizen in his
County and by literally hundreds
of citizens in every County of the
district who have come to know
of him through the study that has
been made by interested educa-
tional leaders in his qualifications.
The good of education in Texas,
md particularly in the Northeast
section of Texas, calls for the elec
tion of Leon Coker on November
8, by an overwhelming vote.
Atlanta Band members will
leave at 0:00 Friday afternoon for
New Boston to attend the Atlanta-
New Boston game Friday night.
Eighty-four members of the band
will march Friday night. The twirl
ing and dancing majorettes will
be featured Friday night along
with Jane Brabham, drum major.
This group will do the Atlanta
Band specialty, "The Memphis
Blues Boogie March." This numb-
er was a feature of the band at
the 1949 Memphis Cotton Carnival
last spring but has never been
used locally for a half time show.
Friday night's show will offer
every local fan a chance to see
this beautiful and intricate num-
ber. The band will form a silver
moon and play "By the Light of
the Silvery Moon," and then play
"Blue Moon" while being formed
Friday evening the Atlanta Rab
bits, followed by a host of suppor-
ters, will invite the New Boston
Lions Den. The Rabbits are in
good shape for this game and are
hoping to bring home a victory.
Last Friday evening the Rab-
bits literally mopped up the field
with the Hooks Hornets to the
tune of 58 to 0. The play was
hampered by a downpour of rain
Harris Teel paced the Rabbits by
accounting for 4 touchdowns; and
Glenn Dodd was the runner up
with two 6 pointers to his credit.
