have been nearly impossible for
the patrons to have shown a
better spirit during their great in-
convenience. Manager Craddock
says you could count on the fin-
gers of one hand all who have
not been sympathetic with the act
of providence, which could not be
helped. All seemed to know that
everything possible was being
done to restore the lines.
The Texas Electric Service Co
had its share of trouble, although
the company was able to correct
most of it in a comparatively short
time. A crew came from Wichita
Falls Sunday to help put back the
broken connections. This company
has collections both ways on the
highline system, but Manager E
F. Murphy states that, for a little
while the connections were broken
on both sides of Seymour. Mostly,
this ,was from broken arms, and
from burned out connections caus-
ed by the breaking of other elec-
tric lines. The service is going
at full speed now. except that the
company's telephone line has not
yet been put back into service.
The Wichita Valley Ry. Co. had
some trouble directing its trains,
because of telegraph wires being
down, l'n some instances, railroads
took advantage of radio communi-
cations.
The City of Seymour light plant
got off with negligible damage.
Another considerable loss over
the country as a whole was in
the breaking of limbs on trees and
shrubs. About the only nice thing
ot say about this is that it was
nothing like the damage done by
an ice stoim here several years
ago, which wrought such destruc-
tion to trees in the court house
block
and it's going to be the last, and
