This week we have more miscellaneous items from an old copy of the Shelby County, Texas, newspaper. The information appears in the 29 April 1936 issue of the Center Daily News, published in Center, Texas. (Surnames are capitalized for emphasis. Some punctuation may be changed for clarity.)

in Shelby County.)
Notices in the newspaper pertain to a variety of topics. For example, a brief item states: “Traffic is permitted on Highway No. 8 from Center to the detour at the Joe CHRISTIAN farm near Tenaha, although the road is not officially opened for use....”

Two “Card of Thanks” appeared in this issue. One was from Mr. Calvin HUGHES and children for friends’ “kindnessess to us in the “illness and death of our wife and mother....” The other was from Mr. and Mrs. J. C. HURST for all the kindness and sympathy extended to them “during and since the illness and death of our son, J. C. Junior....”
