LAST WEEK .... Bill Camp¬
bell of Hooker Community com¬
pleted a small livestock water
pond that serves well as ex¬
ample. Certainly one more farm
pond is no great news in a
county which already has so
many ponds, but Mr. Campbell’s
is a good example of good land
and water use. He has most of
his open land in pasture-and
this fall will plant the rest-and
several head of nice cattle. But
Jright down the middle of his
‘fine pasture was an old ditch
which was producing almost
nothing. Putting a small pond
in the old ditch took very little
lof his pastureland, will provide
ample water for his growing
herd, and will hold a certain
amount of water after every
rain that would otherwise run
away. As I said, this is a pretty
good example of what the Soil
Conservation Service and the’
Soil Conservation Districts are
trying to do: to make every acre|
produce what it is suited for in
such a way that it is not destroy
ed, whether it be crops, grass,
trees, or as in this case, water.

J. Carrell up at Magby Gap and

work. I understand there
be more funds available
this fall in case you want to do
any of this type work.

Celebrity Stops On
Overnight Visit Here
Sal Maglie, said to be one
of the most outstanding curve
ball pitchers in modern base¬

sports fans here in town last
Wednesday when he stopped
at the El Rancho Courts.
By the time it was
known that the great “bar¬
ber” was within autograph
distance, it was too late to go
calling.
Maglie registered in from
the St. Louis Cardinals Ball

is currently scouting for that
organization. He was accom-

young man and left early

Dyer Suffers Fatal
Heart Attack After
Discovery of Theft
A single • carton of cigarettes
was believed to have been re¬
sponsible Saturday for a heart
attack and the subsequent
death of Wiliam A. Dyer, Piney
merchant.
According to Sheriff Blevins,
the deceased’s family is of the
opinion that the attack was
brought on by the discovery of
the theft of a carton of cigar¬
ettes from the Dyer Store. Ted
Whited, 24, and Edgar Elrod, 20,
are being bound over to the
grand jury on a charge of theft.
Whited, who was released on
probation from Rock Springs
Prison early Saturday morning,
enjoyed only a few hours of
freedom before going behind
bars again.
Dyer, who was said to be al¬
most blind, purchased the gro¬
cery from L. A. Mitchell several
years ago and was able to carry
on his business by touching
items in stock. It was in this
manner that he was able
determine the disappearance of
the cigarettes f o 1 lo w i n g the
youths’ visit to the store.
It was reported that Elrod
been in and out of the
several times that day and
Whited had been in twice.
theft occured between 2 p.
and 4 p. m. Saturday
Following Mr. Dyer’s
he was taken to a
where he died shortly after¬
wards.
