EX-SERVICE MEN ALL SET
FOR FISHFRY ON BRAZOS
Arrangements Complete For Event
on Banks of River at Mouth of
Deer Creek
Ex-service men
were all set today for their annual fishfry on the Brazos river at the mouth of
Deer Creek Friday at noon. The site is on the H. O. Barganier place,
entrance to which has been arranged on the south side of the highway just west
of the Brazos.
This event, initiated a number of years ago by former members of Company F.
Third Texas infantry, the National Guard outfit that went ouf of Marlin to the
world war, for all ex-service men, has been held heretofore on July 4.
However, due to Independence Day failing on Saturday this year, it was decided
to hold the fishfry on the preceding Friday in order that a larger numbr might
attend.
The event annually attracts numerous former service men from points outside of
Falls county as well as from over the county generally, and this year is
expected to prove no exception in that respect, a number of acceptances from
points out of the county being included in the large number advising that they
will attend
