1*1.ANS FOR OPENING FIRST
NATIONAL HANK INDEu WAY
HARTLETT PLANNING FOR [SENIOR CLASS PLAY
8 III ANNUAL STAG PARTY WAS WELL PRESENTED
The possibility of opening The
First National Bank, which recently
closed it$ doors, appear more en-
couraging day by day. Following a
meeting of representative citizen,
this week, for the purpose of perfect-
ing plans for a complete reorgani-
zation, resulted in committees being
named and other obstacles threshed
out. All depositors of this bank
are'being asked to sign up, whlcn
permits a portion'of their deposit*
to be placed in stock, the remainder
to be used as a checking account.
This plan seems to meet with tiie
i approval of almost everybody and
j the majority have signed up. Many
depositors'are out of town and they
are being solicited by mail, which
will take time.
As the matter now stands, it looks
very encouraging and in all proba-
bility, the bank will open in (Vie
course of time. It is, of vital inter-
est to this section that this bank
opened at the earliest possible date,
and this paper is hoping that there
will be a complete reorganization by

THORNDALE, Milam Co., Dec, 22
—The hunting party, consisting of
Myrl Allcorn, Henry
Gamble, have returned fr.m > -r
ing trip in Mexico. They crossed
over at Eagle Pass and bagged
three deer, one bear and one badger.
Gamble shot a panther kitten and
went to get it, but was attacked by
the mother panther. He did not see
her coming. She sprang upon him,
knocking him down. Regaining his
feet, he fired at close range, but
failed to hit the enraged beast. For-
tunately Eeitz shot from a distance
and brought her down. Gamble sus-
tained a cut on the arm from the
claws and was bitten on the should-
er.
LEAPS BRIDGE
JONAH, Dec. 22.—Deputy Sheriff
"Shorty" Jackson of Florence, ran
his Ford Coupe off a ten-foot bridge
over a small stream at Jonah, car-
rying with him" the heavy timber
used as temporary bannister Sat-
urday evening. His car was badly
damaged, but he escaped with mi-
nor injuries. This is the fourth eat-
that has left the bridge at the same
point withiri the last four months,
no one being hurt seriously. It Is
believed that when the state high-
way department takes the road over
the dangerous curve will be straight-
ened.
