Tigers To Meet Kangaroos
Here, Friday Night, 8 o’clock
• • -.>*
Friday night will see the sec-
ond conference football game for
the local Tigers at home under the
night lights. The Weatherford
Kangaroos will be here to take
the hide' ,off the Tigers—if they
can.
Coach Cheatham has been giv-
ing the boys all kinds of workouts
to see that the visiting lads do not
have the better of the mateh.
Since the first game of the confer-
ence last Friday night, the Tigers
have been spending their waking
hours with the thoughts of the
Friday game this week.
In a comparative way, the two
teams will be about evenly match-
ed for this week’s engagement.
The Kangaroos held the strong
Ranger eleven to a close score
while the Tigers were holding the
Newcastle lads to a 12 point mar-
gin. Ranger is making itself a
name in the Class A Oil Belt
League while Newcastle was able
to hold the strong Olney eleven
to 7 point margin.
On a weight basis, the Kanga-
roos will have nothing on the host
boys. Their tonnage seems to be
about the same on both sides of
the line this week.
Boasting nothing like the lum-
bersome Ledbetter of the Bobcat
team, the Kangaroos will have a
tough time getting through the
line that was able to hold then
Young County aggregation all
through the first two stanzas of
the game here last week.
It is believed that Bobby and
Ancil Jones will find their stride
and bring Jacksboro through to
its first victory in five starts this
year.
The lights functioned perfectly
last week. Another sell-out crowd
is expected to crowd int,o the sta-

The purpose of the meeting was
to make our towns and highways
attractive for the better class of
people who are looking for new
homes.
Engineers of the Texas High-
way department, the mayor and
the manager of the Chamber of
Commerce of Mineral Wells, Mrs.
Lake, president of the State Gar-|
den Club, officials from Oklaho-I
ma met with the ladies with Mrs.
Lake presiding.
Some who had been abroad
spoke of how highways there
were very attractive, and of how
trees were made a specialty. The
main topic stressed was making
the entrance or thefront door of
our towns inviting, and that a
practical campaign of painting,
whitewashing, and removing rub-
bish be kept under way.
Some reported choice property
set aside by property owners for
parks. The one close to Jacks-
boro on the Perrin Highway was
donated by Mrs. Alice Morgan in
honor of her father, the late J. R.
Lilly.
Peach orchards in Texas and a
flower for each town was given
worthy mention. By all means,
leave natural views and shrub-
beries, as they withstand the
weather conditions of this section.

County Oil Developments Waiting
For Rain—New Plans
The oil situation* is shaping up
for this week with fewer wells in
operation probably than any oth-
er week in several months.
Connor and Logan of Fort
Worth have been forced to post-
pone the beginning of their well
near the old Avis well because of
a lack of water. It is reported
that it will start about Nov. 1st.
Webb Gregg of Fort Worth is
reported planning to start drill-
ing on his 600 foot test about a
below the Y on the Fort
Worth highway, within the next
few days, 'flic spudder in on the
ground but rigging up operations
have not been completed. This
week will be an interesting one
for local people.
Heavy machinery was being
loaded out Saturday to start the
4.500 footer near the ,old Roxana
oil and gas well in the southwest-
ern part of the county. Surface
pipe was set here several weeks
ago but actual drilling operations
were not started immediately.
Frank W. Bennett Drilling. Co.
is reported nearing the pay zone
in their Epperson No. 1 offset to
the Matlock R-l brought in two
weeks for the best production in
the Bryson field. This offset well
is just across the line from the
Matlock well, located in the north-
west corner of the survey.
Several other good contracts
are reported ready to start with
the beginning of rain.
Most of the wells now being
drilled in Jack County are either,
inside developments or rank-
wildcats.
home in Jacksboro, after
ness of nearly two years.
Mrs. Younger was the only
child of Mr. and Mrs. David and
Ella Davies of Bowie. She was
born there in 1894, graduated
from the Bowie High School, and
j attended Hardin College of Mex-
ico, Mo. She was married to J. R.
I Younger of Bowie in 1917. To
I them were born twin daughters,
Ella Frances and Peggy Jean,
who died in early infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Younger have liv-
ed in Jack County fifteen years,
seven years at Newport where Mr.
Younger was in the banking bus-
iness, and eight years in Jacksbo-
ro 'where he is in the automobile
business.
Mrs. Younger's father was for
many years editor ami proprietor
of “The Bowie Cross Timbers,”
which was succeeded by the Bowie
Blade.
Christian -Science funeral ser-
vices are held today at 2:30 p. m.,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. II. B.
Latham of liowic. Interment will
take place there in the family lot
where her parents and babies are
buried.
Survivors are Mr. Younger and
some cousins* of Dallas and Chi-
cago.
The lives of a host pf friends
have been brightened and made
nobler from association with this
woman. Sin- continued
in the Library Club, of which she
as president; up to the
last. She helped in all of the civic
movements of the town, and was
especially proficient in music and
literature. She was appreciated
for her splendid talents, her
neighborliness and interest in the
best things of life. She had trav-
eled extensively and had proven
to be one of Jacksboro's leading
and beloved citizens.
She had felt so much better this
week, but on lying down to taka
her afternoon rest death claimed
her suddenly. We will remember
her life as one of brightness, grat-
itude and service.
“I can be robbed of many joy-
ful hours,
And still keep smiling for a
lifetime through.
This rainbow shines after life’s
April showers,—
The happiness of having known
you.”
