The large cables, carrying many wires, have been laid as far as Cooper’s Store and are expected to continue along Shanty Town Circle, along New Home Circle and part way along Leedman Circle.

The Telephone Co. has recei¬ ved 63 applications for tele¬ phone service in this commun¬ ity, they are scattered over a large area. It is understood these open lines will go part way up Cole City Road and part way on New Home Circle; around New Camp Circle and the length of Tinker Road. Lewis McBryar Home Appeared to Explode Burst Into Flames Brick chimneys and badly charred beams are all that is left of the Lewis McBryar home which, before last Saturday afternoon, was a lovely home located just south of the Tren¬ ton Baptist Church. Prom all reports it appears that the whole house seemed to explode and then burst into flames. For some time Mrs. McBryar had been waiting to have some redecorating done in her home and it was just being completed. A big new window had been made over a new cabinet sink 'in the kitchen and an air venti¬ lator had been added over the stove to remove cooking odors. (Tile was being laid on the floors. Paint was being scraped on the woodwork in the front of the house in preparation for fresh paint. Saturday morning it was cool (and a heater had been lighted to take off the chill. J. B. Mc¬ Bryar, Fred Mahan and J. W. Forshee were going about their work in the front of the house and Mrs. McBryar was working tin the kitchen when the ex¬ plosion occured. Mrfe. McBryar Iran through the house to the (front porch where she collapsed. She was taken to a neighbors land when the men returned the fire was too hot to save anything. Sherman Moore called the Trenton Fire Department but the house was a roaring inferno when they arrived. They did keep the back wall of the house and the trees and shrubbery wet down to save the two build¬ ings in the rear of the home. Mr. and Mrs. McBryar have made no plans for the future. They had a very smalll amount of insurance and will wait for this to be settled first. For the present they are living around with their children. DECORATION There will be a working and a decoration at the Miller Ceme tery in Cloverdale next Satur¬ day, May 23. The group plans to get started about 7:30.

S. Highway No. 11 from the public square in the City of Trenton to the Tennes¬ see State Line have been signed. The representatives of the State Highway Department who have been working on this project say that, to the best of their knowledge, this is the first Prim ary Federal-Aid Road Project in the State on which all necessary Tight of way deeds have been obtained by negotiations with the property owners and with¬ out resort to condemnation pro¬ ceedings. The successful con¬ clusion of this phase of the pro¬ ject is due to the fine co¬ operation of all the people along this highway, and to a lot of hard work on the part of Mr. J. L. Hufstetler and John Norwick, (representing the State Highway Department: Mr. Sam Reed. Resident Engineer, who will S upervise' the construction work; Col. D. E. Morrison, who acted as County Negotiator; County Ordinary, A. W. Peck; County Treasurer, James V. Jenkins; Mayor of Trenton, Charles T. Sims, and Maddox Trenton Little League Baseball Team Season .. Cubs and Giants Win In last Saturdays little league action the Braves beat the Cubs e-5 and the Giants downed the Tigers 9-8. Tuesday afternoon saw two other close games as the Braves and Giants battled to a 9-9 tie and the Cubs nosed out the Tigers 3-2. Pitcher Willard Dickerson with a home run and single in 3 trips to the plate and Terry Sims with a double and 2 singles in 3 trips led the Braves attack in their win over the Cubs. First sacifer Joe Geddie hit a triple and 2 singles for a perfect 3 for 3 also. Third baseman Gary Gaddis hit 2 singles in 3 at bats and Bart Brannon socked a homer to the lead, the Cubs batting. The Giants scored 9 big runs in the 2nd inning and then stopped a Tiger rally to win 9-8. 1939 Class Reunion, May 23 The Dade County High School Class of 1939 will have a Class Reunion at the Cloudland Can¬ yon State Park on Saturday night, May 23, at 6 o’clock. This will be a picnic to which all members of this class, and their families, and their former teachers are invited. The Class will be glad to see old friends if they would like to drop by.

Tributes must also be paid to the fine work done by the three men who acted as Appraisers on this Project, Mr. Jiles O. Gass, Mr. G. V. Green, and Mr. C. L. Ivey. According to these officials, all right of way deeds and other required documents are now on their way to Atlanta, and there does not appear to be any reas¬ on why this Project cannot be included in the Projects which will be advertised for bids dur¬ ing the month of June, and very probably a contract will be let so that construction can get under way in July. This particular stretch of our Highway has been in deplorable condition for a long time, and has caused a good deal of un¬ favorable comment on the part of visitors and tourists, as well as the local people. It is a great thing for- our county to see this project moving along so well, and we know this will be a bit of welcome news to all our people. The county officials have asked that we express to all of the people their sincere appreciation for the fine co¬ operation they have received in getting right of way deeds and easements. Terry Allen with a double and a triple and Raymond Emanuel with a round tripper led the Giants at bat. Charles Page hit a home run and single in 3 trips for the losers. In Tuesdays action the Cubs got into the win column with a 3-2 win over the Tigers. This game was a pitchers battle all the way as Cub pitcher Bart Brannon allowed only 1 hit and Tiger pitcher Albert Wheeler just gave up 3. Center fielder Lloyd Troxtel drove in the win¬ ning run with a single. Both the Giants and Braves made 4 errors each in their 9-9 tie game. It will be finished at a later date. The schedule for this Satur¬ day is the Giants vs. the Tigers and Cubs vs. Braves. The first game starts at 2 p. m. The Planning Committee for the Reunion is Miss Wilma Pace, Mrs. Virginia Page, Mrs. Clara Frazier Geddie, John Slaton and McClellan Gearrin. HOMECOMING There will be a Homecoming at the House of Prayer, Church of God in Trenton, on Sunday, May 24.
