."I b4ve a very bad cold," is a
remark heard on every hand.
Who it] thunder ever heard of
artyoife having a good cold.
They *re all bad hut some are
"bidder" than others.
A number of valuable dogs
have recently been poisoned in
this vicinity, among others we
mention those of Judge Ledbet
ter and Judge Stribling (lost
two), Mr. J. L. Tharp and Millie
Jones, colored.
All of these persons try very
faithfully to raise garden truck
fof sale or home consumption,
al$o farm products. Fences' are
not as good as they might be.
Several persons residing near
them keep hogs, and they, the
hogs, have to rustle for a liv ing.
Now a hog Is noted fof his love
of in easy life and consequently
happiness, but no hog ever was
happy unless he was in some
kind of deviltry, and they
would have deviled the life out
of the dog owners had the dogs
not protected them. Not one of
the hogowners has lost a dog by-
poison. Header, draw your own
conclusion.

suggested by some of their

chased the deer around so much
and shot at them until they got
so gentle they wouldn't even
run from them at all. The
remedy is, boys, when they get
real gentle, that way, that is

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Concerning the controversy
about the drum beating, 1 am
not a very old man and have no
trouble at all sleeping, yet I
have seen the time when I
would cheerfully commit divers
unsavory atrocities, utilizing
various dreaded implements
not excluding firearms of cor
pulent calibers upon the person
of any individual guilty of
beating on anything, much less
a drum, within four or five
miles of my place of respite. To
say that I can appreciate the
feeling of the complaintant is an
understatement. And while -I
am not fortunate enough to be
personally acquainted with the
gentleman, I might, if I may,
surmize that his progeny is
either safely married and set
tied down or he has forgotten
some of the things we used to
do when we'd have been much
better off somewhere beating*
on a drum or something. They
could have been lighting the
proverbial brown paper bag on
your front porch. Yes, kids are
inconvient and frequently in
fringe upon our rights to a
night's sleep, but remember if
you needed help from one of
these kids, all you would have
todoisask.
Our appreciation is tendered
herewith to the Witch Doctor's
Association for their initiative
and inventiveness in furnishing
these kids with something to
do. Kids are usually going to do
something. It is indeed a tri
hute to the Witch 'Doctors that
they could conceive of an idea
that would both appeal to these
and not have anything to do
with spending money. 1 never
can; neither can the U. S.
Congress.
Why don't we all kiss and
make up?
Sincerely,
M. K. Manly

Texas Almanac
To Have New
Features
"The People of Texas," a
study of the many nationalities
and ethnic groups tha# h^ve
combined to make up the
state's population, is one of
many new features in the 704
pages or the 1974-75 Texas
Almanac, published by A. H.
Belo Corporation, publishers of
The Dallas Morning News.
The article is by R. Hender-
son Shuffler, executive director
ot the University of Texas
Institute of Texan Cultures at
San Antonio.
"Texans have always come in
assorted sizes, shapes and
colors, with a wide variety of
mother tongues and hereditary
customs and traditions," Shuf-
fler writes. He has capsuled
this variety of cultures in the
special Almanac feature.
The new edition also contains
a comprehensive history of the
livestock feeding industry in
Texas, which now leads the
nation in numbers of cattle
fattened in feedlots. The article
was written by Sam A. Tho-
mas, Jr.. manager of agricul-
tural development for South-
western Public Service Com-
pany of Amarillo.
Two reports are of special
interest to ecologists. One is a
list of endangered plants and
anim lis in the state, prepared
by the Texas Organization for
Endangered Species. The other
is a list of state agencies
responsible for pollution con-
trol.
Among many other features
not found in the previous
edition are:
A list i.f leading Texas com-
mercial banks, ranked by total
deposits, prepared by the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank.
A history of paper making in
Texas, by Bob Bowman, public
relations director of Southland
Paper Mills which built the
Souths first mill for the manu-
facture of newsprint from
southern pine.
A history of Texas Public
Lands, written by Commis-
sioner Hob Armstrong and the
stall'of the General Land Offlce
of Texas.
Election results, listings of
county, municipal and state
officials, amendments to the
Texas Constitution, appointive
boards and commissions, offi-
cials of state and regional civic
and trade organizations and
many oth<-r listings are expect-
ed to make this edition widely
used as a reference for offices,
schools, public agencies and
homes.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER90,197S
The Dallas Morning News,
points out that this is the 47th
edition of the Texas Almanac
that has been published since
1857.
"We believe this edition will
maintain the high standards
that have characterized pre-
vious issues and have caused
this to be known as the 'Ency-
clopedia of Texas'," Dealey
More than $100 billion in
graranteed loans helped vet-
erans build or purchase 8.5
million homes since the Veter-
ans Administration's GI loan
program was initiated in 1944.

irnally caused Itching-
Question:
Will you have
enough natural gas
for your home this winter?
Let's lay this question
to rest once and for all.
Lone Star Gas Com-
pany has enough natural gas re-
serves under contract to adequately
supply our residential, commercial
and other higher priority customers
for many winters.
To be sure we have enough for
these consumers, we will make some
extensive curtailments of service to
our large volume customers during
extreme cold weather this winter. In
fact, our contracts with large volume
customers anticipate the need to
curtail up to 100% of their needs
during these cold periods This
allows us to assure service to resi-
dential, commercial and other higher
priority customers.
Answer:
lies!
We're taking major
steps to make sure
you have gas for
the future. New gas we're buying
costs more than four times the price
we paid just a few years ago. This is
an astonishing amount of money!
But it's the price all of us must pay
for a continuing supply of natural
gas energy.
This winter, and in the future,
natural gas from Lone Star will con-
tinue to be your best method of
home heating, water heating and
cooking.. .just as it has been for
more than 40 years. But we all must
remember to help conserve this pre-
cious energy fuel.
