Track, Field League Events
Go to East Delta School
Literary Events
To Be Held at
Cooper, East Delta
Due to several changes this
week, all track and field events
in the Interscholastic League meet
will be held at East Delta Friday,
March 31.
The junior track and field events
will be held Friday morning un-
der the direction of Harry Ward
of Klondike and the high school
events will be held in the after-
noon directed by R. C. Mills, also
of Klondike.
A number of other events
originally scheduled to be held at
West Delta and other schools over
the county will be held at East
Delta and Cooper. High school
Winter is finally over, or at
least so the calendar states as
Tuesday marked the first day of
spring and the last waning hours
of winter. If the groundhog saw
his shadow on Feb. 2 as many pre-
dicted he did and we were in for
six more weeks of bad weather,
which was about half right, the
groundhog was pretty accurate as
far as the last cold snap of the
winter went
* * *
At least in Minnesota, the
groundhog really hit it on the nose
for on the first day of spring
there, they recorded five inches
of snow. The unusually mild win-
ter Delta county and the rest of
^Texas went through has at least
^Kielped the consumer in the price
of milk. Dairymen state that they
should have just a bare minimum
of milk at the present time but
instead have a full surplus. This
accounts for the lowering of re-
tail milk prices from one to three
cents.

The Soil Conservation District
has finally completed all of its
material for a handbook and it is
being typed now to turn over to
the State Committee for checking.
The Delta county District hopes
that they will be able to raise
enough money to have a sufficient
number of the books printed to
put them in the hands of all school
children through the school libra-
ries and make them available to
everyone in the county.

The National Guardsmen in the
county are anxiously awaiting
their checks from the State Office
for the first pay period of the
Guard. The Delta National Bank
has laid in a supply of over $4,-
000 in silver dollars to covert the
checks when they arrive. The
armory will be moved from Paris
as soon as it is released from
Washington.

Oil activity is evidently on the
move again in Delta county as
reports have been drifting in that
leasing is being done west of
Cooper in the Underwood Farm
vicinity. This is the second area
in the county where leasing is be-
ing done, the first being near
Horton.

Improvement Program Is
Planned for Country Club
Directors of the Delta County
Club are calling a special meet-
ing tonight at eight p.m. for the
purpose of considering an im-
provement program for the club.
Quentin Miller is president of
the organization with H. R. Ches-
nut secretary-treasurer. Directors
are H. H. Pratt, O. G. Janes, L.
M. Hendley, Jack Silman and T.
B. Cumming.
Five improvements have been
recommended by the board of di-
rectors to be voted on by the
stockholders at the meeting. The
improvements are a clubhouse to
accommodate bathers, fishermen,
golfers and social gatherings; com-
plete bathing beach at lake site;
plan and improve picnic area; in-
stall watering system for golf
greens, and erect a boat house.
Estimated cost of these improve-
ments will be $6,000 with the club
house costing $3,000; bathing
beach, $200; picnic area, $300:
watering system, $2,000, and boat
house, $500.
Definite Decisions Promised
In a letter to stockholders, the
president stated that the entire
improvement program will be
openly discussed. A proxy has
been sent to all stockholders for
voting on the improvement ques-
tions.
At a recent meeting of the stock-
holders of the club an amendment
of the by-laws was passed per-
mitting all lapsed stock to be re-
instated by the payment of one
month’s dues and the continuance
of paying the monthly dues of
$2.40.
A second amendment was pass-
ed permitting the holders of more
than one share of stock to trans-
fer their stock either by sale or
gift to any person of their choice
before April 1. If this was not
done, the stock would lapse and
would become non-transferable
after that time.
The Delta County Club was re-
organized a little more than three
years ago and a 12 acre lake was
built and stocked with fish. The
old nine hole golf course was laid
out in a different fashion and other
improvements made.

jset for the county this year.
A lot of money has been col-
lected but not turned in, Mr. Bur-
! row stated. He said that he felt
j sure that everyone would make
} their quota this year without any
I trouble as a lot of the communi-
i ties had already passed their pre-
i scribed quotas.
i Tabulations showed that the
following amounts had been turn-
ed in by the block chairmen:
Cooper, South Block, $52; Post

Three Accidents
Hospitalize Two,
One Under Bond
Three accidents put two per-
sons in the hospital and put a
third man under $750 bond dur-
ing this weekend.
The first accident happened
Sunday morning when two youths,
Clarence Rowe and Joe D. May-
nard, smashed into the rear of
a Plymouth about three a.m. oc-
cupied by several Negroes. The
car, owned by Maynard, was be-
ing driven by Rowe. While no
charges have been filed, officers
are investigating the accident.
The car driven by Rowe ploughed
into the Plymouth, which the
Negroes stated was moving about
15 miles per hour. A wrecker
spent nearly half an hour getting
the two vehicles apart to tow
them into town.
Maynard suffered several lacer-
ations to his neck and throat and
lost the majority of his teeth.
Neither Rowe or any of the Neg-
roes suffered serious injuries.
The second accident oceured
Friday evening when a local man
ran into three cars. He hit two
on West Dallas Avenue, damaging
one severely and was stopped
after bending a fender and wheel
on a car belonging to Sheriff
Houston Brantley.
He was charged with driving
while intoxicated and with de-
fective brakes.
The third accident oecured Mon-
day night about eight o’clock
when Clyde W. Landers, Jr. was
severely injured when his motor-
cycle ran into a bridge abutment
on the Cooper-Commerce highway
about two miles from town.
As there was no actual witness
to the accident, it was reported
that the youth laid in the creek-
bed for some thirty minutes be-
fore he was found and brought
to Cooper for treatment.
He suffered a severe leg injury
thgt required many stitches to
close. He was reported as not
having regained consciousness
Thursday.
Federal Insurance
Being Offered to
Delta Farmers
Federal insurance on cotton
against production risks beyond
the control of the farmer is be-
ing offered Delta county farmers
this year, according to Dudley R.
Scott, county PMA administrative
officer.
‘‘Federal all-risk Crop Insurance
protection on cotton against the
production risks which man can-
not control is strictly a non-
profit program designed to give
cotton growers basic protection of
their business enterprise at the
lowest possible cost,” Mr. Scott
said.
He points out further, that the
need for this type of protection
is as old as farming itself—and
that wherever men invest their
money and effort in the produc-
tion of farm crops there is always
thepossibility that due to some
cause over which they have no
control, crop failure will strike
and there will be no crop to
harvest.
PROGRAM EXPANDS
*Crop insurance protection on
cotton is made available in Delta
county for 1950 as a part of the
orderly expansion of the program
to cotton farmers all over the cot-
ton belt. Delta county is fortunate
in being selected as one of the ten

Fire Destroys Home
Tuesday Afternoon
A fire of undetermined origin
completely destroyed the home of
Mrs. Della Williams on North-
east Second Street Tuesday after-
noon at 4:45.
The house was so far from a
fire plug that firemen did not lay
any hose to the house. Water
was pumped from the truck’s tanks
to the house but because so many
people went to the fire, firemen
reported that they were unable to
get the tanks filled on the trucks
as quickly as they should have,
because the streets were blocked
by traffic.

Delta History Closely Connected With Lamar, Hopkins Counties
Mrs. Robert Singleton
Rt. 1, Cooper, Texas
The early history of Delta coun-
ty is closely connected to the ad-
joining counties of Hopkins and
Lamar, as the area between North
and South Sulphur Rivers was
divided between those two coun-
ties until 1870.
Before. 1840, the Red River Dis-
trict extended from Red River to
the Nacogdoches District, which
included part of the present coun-
ty of Hopkins. In 1840, the Texas
Legislature passed a law dividing
the Red River District into three
counties east of the Fannin coun-
ty line, previously established:
The two new counties were Bowie,
east of Red River county, and
Lamar, west of Red River county.
The southern boundary line of
Lamar county was finally settled
in 1842, so that all of what is
Delta county and part of present
day Hopkins county lay in Lamar
county. In March of 1846, the
Texas Legislature created a new
county from the southern part of
Lamar county and the northern
part of the Nacogdoches District.
The site for the county seat was
located near the center of this
area and was named Tarrant in
honor of General Tarrant. Eld-
ridge Hopkins gave the land for
the county seat, and the new
county was named “Hopkins.”
According to “Loose Leaves,” a
history of Delta county, written
by Mrs. James Patteson, the
boundary line between Hopkins
and Lamar counties “started at
the point where the southwest
corner of Lamar, the southeast
i corner of Fannin, the northeast
corner of Hunt, and the north-
west corner of Hopkins all met
which is about a mile north of
the present town of Yowell, and
then the boundary line continues
almost due cast, passing about
three miles north of the present
city of Cooper — until it reached
North Sulphur in the Cervantes
survey.”
From 1836 to 1860 the number
of families from other states ar-
riving in Lamar county were 477
and in Hopkins county 465. In
the 1850 census report a total of
2,469 white people and 154 slaves
| lived in Hopkins county, and in
Lamar county in 1850 there were
2,893 white people and 1,085
slaves.
My great-grandfather, Nathan
Foster Rogers, and two of his
daughters with their families had
settled near Tarrant prior to 1850.
They were from Kentucky, and
letters from N. F. Rogers to an-
other daughter and her husband
gave some interesting facts about
Hopkins county which included
south Delta county. One of his
grandsons, Capt. Samuel Waugh
Smith, was elected sheriff of Hop-
kins county in 1853, when there
were only 500 votes cast in the
election.
In June of 1849 N. F. Rogers
wrote: “Prospects in our state are
good, altho the gold fever has
turned the world upside down.
Our crops are backward on ac-
count of a cold frost and raining
at planting time. Wheat crop is
light. Cattle, hogs, horses and
sheep do well here. Come to the
land of milk and honey. Short
winters and not very hot sum-
mers. Vegetation grows here al-
most without work. There is
health here.”
In a letter written in 1853 by
N. F. Rogers, he says: "The land
here is good for grass, wheat,
barley, oats and rye. Salt has to
be given to the cattle in this sec-
tion of Texas, as the salt dews
from the Gulf do not reach this
far north. Regarding the timber,
where I live there is red oak,
willow oaK, eim, ash, pecan, hick-
ory, honey locust and cherry with
some walnut, cedar and bodark
(bois d’ arc).
“Mills are getting tolerable
plenty. They are horse, wind, in-
cline and water mills, but water
mills will not be plenty, as the
streams get too low in the sum-
mer. Come to Texas. You would
not have to work so hard to make
money.
“The land varies much. Some
of it is rich, light loam and some
of a black, waxy quality that
does not bear a drought, but in a
tolerable season produces well.
The land in these parts will bring
a bale of cotton to an acre, and
from 25 to 40 bushels of corn.
Apple trees flourish and peaches
are fine. All kinds of vegetables
have a fine flavor.
“We can raise hogs with more
ease than any other stock. We
need to take care of small pigs
until they are weaned, then the
grass and roots are sufficient for
them until the falling of the mast.
“We have a good market for
bacon, which seldom sells for less
than 12 cents or 14 cents per
pound or on foot, $4.50 to $5 per
head. Cows are $12 to $14 per
head. They have raised some
! since they arc being drove off lo
‘Californey’. Sheep are from $2.25
to $2 per head. A good mule is
worth $80 and a good horse one
hundred dollars. Corn is 50 cents
a bushel and wheat $1. Land
can be got from one to two dollars
per acre in the natural state. Im-
proved land is higher.
“The climate here is good, and
I can say for one, there is no
state of our Union of better health
than Texas. The latitude we live
in is 33V<i degrees north. We are
50 miles from Red River and one
hundred miles from Jefferson our
steamboat point at present. When
the railroad is completed, Gal-
veston will be our market city.
This road nor^h from Galveston
comes through by us. It will be
completed to Red River in four
years.
“The Gospel is preached and
sinners are turning to the love of
God in Christ Jesus. I have great
reason to thank my God that the
Lord of Glory is in Texas. He
will be praised in our land of
plenty."
Nathan Foster Rogers
While Tarrant was the county
seat of Hopkins county it was
often hard for the people living
north of South Sulphur to attend
court and Uunsuct business ul Tar-
rant, but on September 23, 1868,
a military order moved the records
of Hopkins county from Tarrant
to Sulphur Springs where there
was a military post, and this made
it worse for the people north of
Sulphur River. In 1870 a bill was
introduced in the Texas Legisla-
ture by Dr. E. P. Beeton, member
from Hopkins county, creating a
new county out of the area be-
tween North and South Sulphur
Rivers, This became a law on
July 29, 1870, and this county was
named Delta because of its shape.
The county was soon organized
and a site for the county seat was
selected by a vote of the people.
It was named Cooper.
On how many farms in Delta
county now can one find the fifth
generation of the same family
living?
In one instance, on a farm about
four miles northeast of Cooper,
the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Russell Edwards represents the
ily Coatna afterg
fifth generation of the Russell
family to live on the same place
where her great-great-grandpar-
ents settled when the land was
in Hopkins county, and this farm
has continued in possession of
from tuberculosis each year than
from all other communicable dis-
eases combined.
He stated that over one and
one-half million people have been
x-rayed in this present survey for
1950 in an effort to get positive
control of the disease. But that
this was only the first phase but
most important of the program.
Mr. Gauss said that there was
a positive cure for tuberculosis
and all it takes is an x-ray to
find it out. Don’t say if there
has never been a case of tuber-
culosis in my family that you
won’t get it. Tuberculosis is not
hereditery but it can be gotten
although there has never been a
case in the family. A person
breathes in the germs and a case
is started. No one is immune,
but some races are far more sus-
ceptible than others.
TB Is Adult Disease
“TB is an adult disease,” Mr.
Gauss continued. He said that
the usual procedure was to go to
the group where the cases are
most likely. Only if a child is in
constant contact with the disease
is he likely to get it.
There will be no diagnosis by
the State Health Department,
after the x-ray is made in about
two or three weeks the x-rayed
person will get a card stating that
the lungs are normal. If there is
a sign of tuberculosis the person
will get a letter stating that find-
ings have been sent to your fam-
ily physician and for you to please
contact him for further informa-
tion.
No Fee Necessary
There is no fee necessary for
this service. The machine has al-
ready been paid for by taxes and
is offered to the taxpayers for
them to take advantage of some-
thing they have already paid for.
As the x-ray unit will take care
of some 1,500 persons daily, five
ladies will fill out the card and
answer questions concerning this
x-raying. There will be two host-
esses to ask men to remove then •
coats and the ladies to remove
their jewelry.
It will not be necessary to re-
move any clothing for the pictures
as the persons reading the pictures
are trained to find the spots on
the lungs if they are there. Every
person over 15 years of age can
have the picture made as there-
is no top age limit,

ber of Commerce.
