BOBBY^ PLUMMER CITED
Some interested TCU fan ha3
sent to this office a page taken
from The Skiff, official TCU pub-
lication, in which prominent men-
tion is made of Bobby Plummer of
Seymour, who is left tackle on the
Frog football team. He is the son
of Mr, and Mrs, C. B. Plummer,
and has lived in Seymour all of his
life. Also, he was a star player on
the famous Panther team of a few
years back. He was named all-j
state tackle In his senior year here,
and was all-district for two years.
Plummer had many offers from
colleges to play on their teams, but
chose TCU, largely because his
brother, Don, was a member of the
Frogs team. He is now a Junior,
with one more year of eligibility.
After that Bobby would like to
take a fling at pro ball, and after-
wards to become a high school
coach. He Is majoring in physical
education and minoring in biology.
The Skiff article, which was illus-
trated with a two-column picture
of the tackle, gave a description
of the busy schedule of Plummer.
This includes a little visit once in
a while to Miss Mary Engbroc,
brown-eyed junior from Houston;
and they are to he married next
June. Friends here are much in-
terested in Bobby Plummer and his
career, and will he watching for
whatever of further success that
may come to him—or which he
goes after.

SALES BARN SALE
| About 600 cattle were sold Friday
at the auction barn, west of the
Brazos bridge. It was a fine day,
and a good crowd was present,
j Also, the market was active, and
< the sale was a brisk one.
George Shawver says that 60 per
I cent of the offerings were of Stock-
er feeder cattle, and the market for
these was steady to higher. The
purchase of this kind of cattle was
stimulated by the prospect of early
grazing on some of the wheat
fields, together with winter grass
in the pastures.
I Good and choice fat calves and
yearlings sold from $10 to $23, iyuj
were up about $1.00 from the week
before. The common and medium
varieties sold from $12 to $18, and
were steady to strong. Canner and
cutter cows brought from $9.00 to
$13, with better fat cows bringing
$14 to $15.90. This was 50 to 75
cents above the previous week.
Good and choice steer calves and
light yearlings brought from $22 to
$22.50, and were about $1.00 up.
Plain and medium steer calves and
yearlings sold from $16 to $21.50,
which was an advance of about $1
from the week before.
Introduction
Among the visitors to Seymour
Monday were two of the rather
recent newcomers to this place.
They were Mrs. Jimmy Henson and
Mrs. Jerry Henson, who came here
with their husbands from New Mex-
ico. The former was accompanied
by her son, Jay, who is 2 years old.
The Henson men are with the
Claude Cowan Ranch, and live at
ranch headquarters at Fulda, 10
miles northeast of Seymour. Four
nice homes are at the headquarters,
including the beautiful home of
Mr. and Mrs. Cowan, who comes
back on occasional visits to their
Baylor County ranch. Mrs. Cowan
is the former Irene Baker, daugh-
ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Baker. The Cowans live now in
their palatial home in one of the
suburbs of Phoenix. Just now they
are at Raton, where they have an-
other ranch. Joe Cade, manager
of the ranch here, lives with his
wife in the home that was built
for Claude Cowan Jr., and his wife;
and the Henson men and their |
wives live in the other two homes
at headquarters. Jimmy and fam-.
ily have been here for two years
and four months, with Jerry nnd
wife having come last June. These j
are two families of mighty nice
people; and they have a warm wel-
come as citizens of Baylor County.

BRAZOS ON RAMPAGE
The Brazos river was on one of
Its record rises after the rains of
ias$ week, and it covered the en-
tire bed at Seymour, extending to
the extreme west end of the
bridge. The salt cedars on the
west side of the river bed were
mostly covered, but they stood upj
all right, and are ready now for a
drouth.
The cattle sales barn is located
just west of the bridge, and
George Shawver had a good oppor-
tunity to observe the rise. On
Wednesday night the river lacked
about four feet of getting as high
as It did on the last big rise, and
It rose at least another foot by
noon of *he next day. Then it be-
gan dropping in a hurry, and was
back in the regular bed by Friday
noon. Water got up In Bill Dam-
ron's feed barn when the other
rise came, but this time only the
loading pit on the east side was
inundated.
T. F. Glover was discussing the
rise Saturday morning, and said
part of his land, together with
some of Vein Teague's place and
part of J. T. Jarvis’ was covered
with water. Tom says he had a
35-acre field that stood about three
feet In water. This was drained
when the river went down, al-
though water was still standing
in spots. Glover said he would he
very well satisfied if we didn’t
have any more rain for 60 days.
Tom quoted the last big rise In the
river to have been about the same
time of year in 1955, which was the
big daddy of them all. That rise
covered the Rat country seven
milea south of town, even more
than this time.
