We were grieved to hear about the death of one of our former residents Thursday, John Choate, now of Ft. Worth. Mr. Choate suffered a heart attack that morning. We offer our sincere sympathy to Mrs. Choate and the family. Funeral services were held Saturday morning at ten o'clock, with Brother C. N. Jones, pastor of Vanderbilt Baptist Church, officiating. J. R. White accompanied Brother Jones to Ft. Worth. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Manning and children visited relatives and friends in Magnolia and DeQueen, Arkansas during the weekend of eight and ninth. Congratulations Cobras, on your win last Friday night. You played a good game. One thing marred the exercises however when a small child fell through the stands to the ground below, but I believe the child was only slightly hurt and scared. I still say the back of the stadium seats need to be closed in, which would keep out the cold north wind and keep little ones from falling through. Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Rankin recently were the parents of Mrs. Rankin, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Magee of Hillsboro, Mr. and Mrs. George Trader and Kathy and Steven Crum of Corpus Christi.
