M. T. Hickman Sr., who is
affectionately known to many
friends here as ‘Uncle Tom’, re-
turned last Saturday night
from a visit with his grand
daughter, Mrs. W. E. Boyle, in
Paducah.
He was accompanied by Mrs.
S. L. Anderson and Mrs. Ernest
Sanders of East Columbia and
Mrs. M. T. Hickman Jr. and
Theo Hickman of Corrigan.
This trip was planned for sev-
eral weeks ago but the recent,
gulf storm did considerable
damage to Mrs. Anderson’s
home and caused a postpone-
ment.
Mrs. Boyle will be remember-
ed as the former Miss Avis
Hickman, daughter of Theo.
Hickman.
Paducah is the county seat
of Cottle County and is located
out on the plains some 265
miles North-West of Dallas.
Mr. Hickman stood the trip
fine but reports that tlie pine
trees of East Texas look migh-
ty good after seeing that coun-
try.

Reports reaching the Press
late last night was that Plue
Burden was killed by the south

Antlers Hotel confirmed the re-
port. We did not learn the de-

that he was talking to some-
one near the tracks and when
the train whistled, stepped in-
to its path. He was killed in-
