4-1! CLUB BOYS WIN
ANOTHER HIST. CONTEST

The Seymour All-Star softball i counties in the Wichita Falls store
team is playing in an invitation
tournament at Wichita Falls, with
pretty fair prospects of emerging
as champions. Monday night our
boys beat Henrietta, 8 to 1, with
13 strikeouts by Red Johnson. Red
and Clifton Rogers each knocked
home runs.
On Wednesday night Johnson
faned 18 batters in sparking his
team to a 9-2 victory over Mun-
day. Red got another homer in
the fifth inning, that scored three
runs. Seymour draws a bye to-
night, and Friday night they play
the winner of Southern Select and
Warren Petroleum.
The victory last night gave the
Seymour All-Stars a Tecord of 8
area, with one boar from each en-
tered. Judging is based upon the
individual boar, number of sows
bred, condition of the boar, method
of feeding and ration fed, type of
equipment such as shed or house,
feeders, water trough, etc., and
records kept on the boar.
Curtis' prize for first place in
this contest is $12.00 in merchan-
dise for furthering his hog pro-
ject. He also won the district Sears
show at Iowa Park and had the
Grand Champion boar at the Texas-
Oklahoma Fair last October.

GRADE SCHOOL TEACHERS
ATTEND RERESHER COURSE
AT CANYON COLLEGE
Several of the Seymour elemen-
tary teachers accompanied by their
principal. Miss McDonald, spent
the past week in Canyon State Col-
lege attending a refresher educa-
tion course, put on by experts for
busy teachers who work at dis-
tances from educational centers.
These courses make it possible for
busy teachers to keep in touch
with approved methods of teaching.
The teachers who took this
course were Mrs. Cornelius, Mrs.
Shawver, Mrs. Crouch, Miss Hail-
ey, Miss McGlamery and Miss Bur-
net. These teachers spent a busy
week observing children placed in
classroom situations and taught bS-
especially skilled teachers. Follow-
ing the class room exercises with
the children, a two-hour conference
was held for the observing teach-
ers in which thq teachers could
get excellent help in clearing up
their more difficult problems of
teaching. The teachers will receive
credit on all work done toward
their Masters Degree.

BABY DIES
The four-months-old daughter of
Mrs. and Mrs. Matt Campbell Jr.,
Elaine Marie, died last week at
the De Luxe tourist camp. The
baby died in her sleep, probably
from heart failure.
Funeral services were held at
the Wesley Harrison Funeral Home
and were conducted by Rev. W.
O. Abshier. Interment wa^ in the
original cemetery at Seymour.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell formerly
lived at Westover, but more re-
cently have been living in Oregon,
where the baby was born.
at the home of her sister. By one
of these queer turns of fate, we
do not yet have complete data on
Mrs. Portwood, but will get it.
The body was brought to Sey-
mour for burial beside the grave
of her husband, who was killed
in an auto accident several months
ago. Cancer was the cause of her
death, and she was critically ill
at the time of her husband's death.

CAPACITY CROWD SEES
LIONS DONKEY BALL
GAME FRIDAY NIGHT
All available seating space, park-
ing space, and most of the stand-
ing room was taken at the donkey
ball game last Friday night to see
two Lions Club teams battle it out.
From reports Saturday the donkeys
were the victors.
Some 900 spectators paid admis-
sions to the game for what is recog-
nized as the largest crowd ever to
attend any kind of softball game
on the local field. The game was
sponsored by the Lions Club to
raise revenue for the youth pro-
gram, also being sponsored by the
Lions.
After all taxes and expenses were
paid the Lions share of the gate
amounted to about $130.00.
FAMILY REUNION
The family of Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Beck enjoyed a reunion at the
Seymour Park on July fOth. All
of the children, together with the
most of their families, were there.
Those in attendance were: Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Beck and Tom Beck,
only brother of J. A., of Seymour;
Mrs. G. A. Moore and family of

also visited with the family in
the afternoon.
Altogether, there were 41. All
enjoyed the beautiful park. A
pienc lunch was served, after which
pictures were taken. Some went
for a swim; and altogether, a great
time was had.

HEALTH SET UP
IN LIMELIGHT
Little did the doctors, nurses and
school people think that the health
program started here last winter
would attract the attention of ed-
ucational interests all over the Un-
ited States. The publicity was be-
gun by Bob Baskin of the Dallas
News; and then another Seymour
boy, R. E. Ford, who is with the
Associated Press, wrote a feature
article when he was here not long j
ago to visit his mother, and that
article has gone all owr the coun-
try.
It would be a long story to tell
all that has happened, but for the
immediate present this article will
deal with a visit to Seymour by
Albert Q. Maisel of Chicago, feat-
ure writer for McCall's Magazine.
He came by plane, and spent a
few hours here last week collect-
ing data for a story that will ap-
pear in McCall's concerning the
health program here in the public
schools.
Mr. Maisel visited with Supt. J.
W. Hamilton and was introduced
to the Lions Club. He also was
at The Banner office, and he made
contact with the local doctors. A
good deal more will be said event-
ually about his visit and the at-
tendant publicity. He stated that
his magazine will have a photog-
rapher here a little later, who will
take pictures to illustrate the story.
BOND DRIVE GOES OVER
The State of Texas, under the
direction of Nathan Adams of Dal-
las, exceeded the amount asked in
the recent Savings Bonds drive.
Not too much, of course, but over
the top.
Baylor County, with O. P. Cald-
well general chairman and Emitt
Golden drive chairman, managed
to get over the wire just in time.
We raised $99,112.50, which was
100:62 per cent of our quota.
Other counties in this area did
better. Archer made her per cent
160.09. Foard, on the other hand,
got up to only 84.45 per cent. Has-
kell’s showing was even worse,
69.50. Jones had 111.84 per cent;
with King county subscribing only
$150. which was 15 per cent of
the quota. Knox County mud
have managed for a low quota, as
her $52,837.50 was said to be 139 -
04 per cent. Throckmorton’s per
cent was 128.88, Wilbarger's was
100.65 and Young County bought
$103,075 in bonds, which was 75.24
per cent of their quota.
YOUTH REVIVAL CLOSES
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
The First Baptist Church of Sey-
mour has held its first youth re-
vival, and the results have been
so overwhelming that it is likely
other similar efforts will be made
in the future.
This church held its regular re-
vival in April of this year, with
one of the best meetings in the
history of the church. Then the
youth revival came on in July,
for only one week, and the results
fully matched the regular meet-
ing.
A tabulation of the visible effects
shows that 25 were received into
the church for baptism, 18 by let-
ter and statement and there were
48 rededications, with one other
dedicating his life for special ser-
vice.
A number of the candidates for
baptism received the ordinance sfT
the close of services Sunday even-
ing. A beautiful sight was when
one family of six all stood in the
water at the same time and were
baptized by the pastor. Rev. J. R.
Balch.
“ELECTROCUTED" MAN
NOW DOING FINE
Last week a story should have
been carried on accident that hap-
pened to Harley Sturgeon, 17, that
almost took his life. (Trouble with
the linotype machine kept the
story from being set in type.)How-
ever, mention this week can be
more favorable, as young Sturgeon
seems to be getting along fine and
will recover, barring complications.
The story last week should have
said that Sturgeon was injured
while working with a REA crew
in setting a light pole, about one
mile west of Bomarton. In plac-
ing the pole in the hole it was
raised up high enough to come
into contact with the high line of
the Texas Electric Service Co. A
heavy charge of electricity came
down the copper wire on the pole
and went into the body of Harley,
whose hands were on the pole. He
was burned badly in a number of
places, and it was about a week
before the doctors began to feel
confident that the boy would make
it. He is a patient in the Baylor
County Hospital.
The injured man is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Sturgeon, who
have lived here for several years.
He has been working with the
REA for about four months. He
has a brother. Hollis, who has been
with the B-K Electric for four or
five years.
Sgt. Josh Tipps
Reburied Here
Probably the last military fun-
eral for those killed in World War
II was held Wednesday over the
body of Private Josh W. <Pete>
Tipps, who was killed on July 25,
1943. over Hamburg. Germany.
He was with the U. S. Air Corps,
and had gone to Germany in May
of 1943.
Services were conducted by Rev.
E. L. Yeats, at the Wesley Harri-
son Funeral Home, with interment
in the family lot in the W. O. W.
cemetery.
Private Tipps was born in Sey-
mour, being the son of Joshua and
Laura Tipps. whose bodies are bur-
ied here. Pete attended school at
this place, but graduated from the
Panhandle High School. He was
born in September of 1917. He
joined the army Air Corps in 1939.
His only brother. O. E. Tipps. is
living at Seymour. Pete was a
grandson of Mr. ar.d Mrs. O. Y.
Watson, and he had lived part of
the time in the Watson home. He
was a member of the First Metho-
dist Church of Seymour.
OIL TEST GOES DOWN AT
RECORD SPEED. A DRY HOLE
The Wichita Times a few days
ago reported on location of the
S. F. Hutchinson No. 2 H. N.
Brown, 165 feet from north and
1,155 feet from west lines of sec-
tion 49, Block 45. H&TC survey,
for a l,550-foo‘ wildcat 3 miles
southwest of Bomarton, in Baylor
County.
Drilling began on time, last Sat-
urday, and yesterday afternoon a
report on the well came to The
Banner, that it had been com-
pleted and was a dry hole. That's
finding out about it quick.
The Times also carried the fol-
lowing report recently:
C. J. Bohner staked a trio of
3100-foot rotary tests on his B
lease, an 80-acre tract on the
Fayette County school lands, three
miles northwest of Westover, in
Baylor County.
Old Se tilers Gather
For Fiftv-third
%
Annual Reunion
July 28th has dawned bright and
clear, and not so hot; and the long-
anticipated Reunion and Rodeo is
on in full blast. There is not so
much that can be said about it yet,
but a few advance items can be
mentioned.
Thursday morning registration of
old settlers began at the lovely
Seymour Park, where lunch was
to be served a little later. The
Banner has been able to secure In-
formation concerning some of the
registration, although the main
part of that will have to be given
next week. A list of the old set
tiers will be carried in the paper.
The only program at the park
has consisted of interviews with
the old timers over the loud speak-
er. with J Donnell Dickson and
Clyde Whiteside in charge. How-
ever, the speakers had keen com-
petition in the meetings among the
old settlers, who wanted to talk
with each other more than any-
thing else. Probably 400 or 500
gathered for this event.
At this date too much detail is
not possible concerning the old,
settlers. However, the oldest reg-
istration so far seems to be W. H.
Swain of Robbins, Calif., who is
here on a visit with his son, W.
I J. Swain of Seymour. He lived
j here al an early day. 1. Knight
j of Route 4, Wichita Falls, is an-
other old timer coming back. He
I came here in 1883
One of the oldest old settlers in
point of age is Mrs. G. S Plants,
86. who came here in 1890. D.
A. Chapman, Pink Haggard and
Will Henson came in 1882.
We are certain to miss some of
the real old timers, but will try
to pick up the missing items next
week. The oldest settler in Bay-
lor County in point of residence is
Loo Howe, who came here in the
late summer of 1878. He was fol-
lowed in October by Ira Cocker-
i ell. and Mrs. Cockerell came in
1880, the year the county was or—
| ganized. Mrs. W. T. Finn came in
1879. when she was four years old.
| Mrs. Finn is still one of the sales-
j ladies at Perkins-Timberlake.
Mrs. Jo A. P. Dickson and her
brother. Al Donnell, came in 1879.
The Donnell residence was built
the same year and still stands, a-
cross the street from the Wichita
Valley depot. Mrs. Lem Bellows
nee Bert Browning, is among the
1879 settlers, with Mrs. J T. Live-
ly and her brother. Dr. R. C. Lew-
is, right along about then. Felix
Propps and his sister. Mrs. Bud
Jamison, of Gilliland, were among
the '79'ers, and they were here
for the Reunion. Jack Propp= was
born here in 1884. Fr. Moon
came in 1879. Vr Z. Harvey was
born here 'r. 1 Y<9, the first white
child ‘o be born in the county.
Mrs. W. T. Britton, daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. George Ray.
came in 1880, and there were only
seven houses in the town at that
time.
As for the rodeo, everything is
pointing now to the mammoth par-
ade at 6:30 Thursday evening. It
will be at the same hour on Fri-
day and Saturday evenings.
From the registration of contest-
ants at the Rodeo, it seems there
will be about 300 of these.
The advance sale of tickets has
been the best in the history of
! the show, and every indication is
! pointing to an event that is un-
! excelled in its class.
WEATHER
It rained a half inch and better
at Seymour Saturday afternoon. In
most parts of the county the fall
was no more, and in many cases
less. At one place in the Mary's
Creek community 2 inches fell.
But the moisture has brought a
period of cooler weather. Cotton
has been doing fine, but will need
more rain to mature the fruit.
WORTHY PATRON HONORED
The Wichita Falls Record News !
carried a headed article in Tues-1
day's paper concerning a special
meeting of the Order of the East- ,
ern Star at Seymour. The names
were given of ten Wichita Falls
women and one man who came'
over for the occasion.
The event was put on in honor |
of E. T Goss, who has been Wor- '
thy Patron of the Eastern Star
chapter here for the past 23 years, i
A special program was carried ;
out, and an award was made to j
the honorec in appreciation of the !
excellent services he has been to '
the organization.
A. J. Ballerstedt has returned
from following the wheat harvest I
with his truck, and says he did.
not come back with any money. (
There was too much wet weather, I
the wheat was not too good, and |
there were too many trucks. ,
MRS. MAGGIE DAVENPORT
Mrs. Maggie Davenport, 76, died
at 12:50 p. m. Saturday, In the
Baylor County Hospital. Death
followed an illness of about five)
weeks.
Funeral services were held at i
8 30 a. m. Sunday, at the Mahan
Funeral Home, with Rev. E. L.
Yeats in charge.
Interment was in the Masonic!
cemetery beside the grave of her
husband, J. W. Davenport, who
died 21 years ago.
The following children survive: j
Mrs. T. J. Bolger of Seymour, B
C. Davenport of Petrolia, A. M I
Davenport of Wichita Falls and I
R. J. Davenport of Pinon, N. M.
Two sisters are living: Mrs. C.
W. Barnes and Miss Gertie Hog-
gard of Lindsay, Okla.
It has seemed impossible to as- j
semble the data for this week's\
paper for a suitable account of the
life of Mrs. Davenport, and this
will be given in next issue She
was one af the county’s pioneers,
and was well beloved and respect-
ed by the entire people of this com-
munity.
