THINGS HAPPEN
IN ALBANY
MORE NEW HOMES
More ex-G.l.'s are beginning the
erection of modern homes in Al-
bany. These men, who have built,
and who arc beginning homes, are
to be commended. Their foresight!
and determination is keeping old
Albany growing.
Mart Clarke is beginning his new
home out on the old Hrockenridge
load near J. C. Miler's home.
Hill Jones is starting a new home
on the lot he recently bought Just
south of the Louis Green place.
lluck Wheeler and R. C. Daniell
have recently completed homes on
the old Breckenridge road.
Jack Moberley has added to the
new homes in Albany, having com-
pleted his house recently.
RETURN FROM CALIFORNIA
Cecil Dye and his brother Eddie
Dye, the latter of Breckenridge,
came in Friday from a week's va-
cation trip to California by air.
They made the trip, nearly 1,400
miles, in eight hours in Eddie's new
Bonanza plane and their gas ex-
pense W'as well below (25.00 for
the trip. Cecil says they had a
very nice trip.
They left Albany at fi:!?0 in the
morning, and arrived in California
shortly after dinner. Of course
they gained a couple of hours on
the sun on the trip.
The boys at Taylor Air l'ort
flew out to the Caldwell ranch ear-
ly Sunday morning for a short
mass flight. They are planning
other trips in the near future.
GOING TO ST. LOUIS
Rev. H. M. Weldon, pastor of
the First) Baptist church, is running
an ad in the News' well-read class-
ified section this week. He's going
to St. Louis, Mo., Monday, and
wants someone to go with him on
a share expenses basis.
He ran an ad in a daily paper
for someone to make the trip with
him and didn't get an answer, so he
is trying the News, and we'll bet
we get him some company for the
trip.

Baptists Improving
Church Interior
The First Baptist church of Al-
bany is having some improvements
made on the church auditorium
that will greatly improve its ap-
pearance.
The floor has been sanded and
finished and wain-coating is being
put around the walls. The walls
and woodwork are receiving coats
of paint and varnish.
All this is in preparation to puti-
ting new upholsteied seats in the
auditorium. These seats will add
greatly to the comfort of the con-
gregation.
The choir i being elevated and
a new pulpit platform i.s being
put in.
The church hopes soon to receive
the new Hammond electric organ,
which is a gift of Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Caldwell. The organ, order-
ed last January, is expected before
the first of the year.
The Baptist church, which closed
its year Augusti 31, had a very ex-
cellent report to make at the an-
nual meeting of the Cisco Baptist
Association which met in Ranger
Sept. 10. The pastor reported the
addition of 131 members during
the past year, 61 by baptism and
70 by letter.
Financially the church raised
$ IS, 410.00 for all causes last year.
Of this sum $4,202.00 wen to out-
side can es, missions, benevolences
and Christian education and other
work. For local purposes $14,-

Mrs. Bratton Dies
At Moran
Mrs. Fletcher Bratton, the for-
mer Ktoile Bankston, passed away
at Moran just before midnight
I'uesday following an illness of
two months.
Funeral is being held from the
Moran Church of Christ thi af
tin noon at 3:00 o'clock, and inter-
ment will he made in the Moran
I cemetery under direction of Taylor
Furniture Co., funeral directors.

late J. W. Bankston, pioneer resi-

there and received a degree from
The Albany Cubs, coached by A.
P. Speck, playing an Abilene jun-
ior high school eleven here last
Thursday night, brought out more
thun 300 pay customers who en-
joyed a very good game by these
youngsters. The Cubs, outweigh-
ed but not out-fought, lost 13-0.
Coach Speck unveiled a fast
moving and hard tackling team,
weighing from 07 to 150 pounds.
Abilene received, placing the
ball on Albany's 45 after a very
nice return by Bell. From there
the visitors marched over for the
fir.-t score in 12 plays, which net-
ted them five first downs. Fdgar
and Coker stood out in the line
trying to stop the heavier Abilene
backs.
Albany received, taking the ball
on the Albany 38, and it looked
like Speck had found the right
combination with Riley, Allman,
Morrison and Viertel getting down
to business as ball carriers. Riley
made 2, Allman 6, and then Mor-
rison galloped 30 yards for a very
fine gain and a first down.
Viertel went through for 9 and
it looked like the Cubs were on
their way, playing from the visit-
or's 25. Then it happened. Four
plays failed to gain; in fact lost a
yard. The ball went over.
Abilene gained 8 in three tries
and kicked, and Albany held the
ball until the half, playing deep in
Abilotie's territory, but couldn't
score
attack with some hard line bucks.
The Cubs received to get the
second half going. A badly bounc-
ng ball w;is against the Cubs,
citing them hack on their 13 yard
line. Allman skirted end for 17,
and then Viertel made a booming
13 yard gain to get the ball out,
but there the Coyotes stiffened
and held.
Taking the ball on their 10, Ab-
ilene . tarted another goal march
with Youngblood and Bell mixing
up the runs, and scored late in the
third quarter. The extra point was
carnc d off tackle.
The Abilene hoys held the ball
most of the fourth quarter, but
the Cubs put up another stand deep
in their territory to take the ball,
and were bringing it out as the
game ended.
Abilene made 120 yard- rush-
ing, 25 by a pass, and netted 12
first downs. The Cubs made 134
