Finley of Guntersville hold a critter Sand Mountain above Big Spring cat, but doesn't have the characteristics One suggestion is that it may be a cross between the two. Another is that it may be a kitten of the "booger" that was seen several times a few years ago in and around Rocky Branch Hollow. The cat was killed by. two bulldogs belonging to Harvey Bonds of Bonds Chapel on Sand Mountain. Two of his sons heard the dogs after something and followed.
The dogs treed it in a hole in the side of a cliff. The boys fastened a steel trap on the end of a pole, set it and poked in into the hole. When the trap sprung on the cat it ran out and the dogs killed it. It weighed pounds, stood 12 inches high and was 21 inches long from nose to tail. The tail was only about two inches long.
Stretched out, the cat was 35 inches long from front toes to back toes. The tail looked like it had grown short, not like it had been cut off. The cat, a female, was the color of a yellow house cat with very much the same markings. "I've seen lots of bob cats," Mr. Chaffin said.
"Around here and in Florida too. But I never saw a yellow one. All I ever saw were dark gray." He said bob cats also have longer tusks than this one, longer claws, and their fur isn't as heavy as this one's fur. It had fur about like that of a house cat. realize this is the most important office one can be elected to in the county.

Our phone operators now dial anywhere Since the adoption of new telephone numbers here last August and the establishment of Gadsden as the toll center for Guntersville telephones in any major city in the United States can be dialed directly by the long distance operator. Paul Jones, Albertville manager of Southern Bell, explains that the new method of long distance calling is known as "operator direct distance dialing" and offers increased speed and efficiency. Too, "operator direct distance dialing" is a major step in the providing eventually of "customer direct distance dialing" throughout the nation. This will some day make it possible for local telephone subscribers to pick up their telephones and dial, long distance to almost any part of the nation. The objective of "customer long distance dialing" is to enable customers to dial paid station-to-station long distance calls anywhere in the United States or Canada, much in the some manner as is now done on local calls.
Under the present plans, operators would continue to handle person-to-person calls, collect calls, calls involving quotation or transfer of charges and most calls from coin telephones. The number of digits to be dialed would be more than for local calls. Long distance calls to points beyond this area will be made by dialing a three digit area code followed by the two letters of the central office name and the five numerals of the telephone number being called. Billing information will be recorded automatically by special equipment. The primary benefit of this new service will be improved service to customers by providing long distance service that is faster and subject to fewer service interruptions.
There are numerous requirements that will be necessary to inaugurate nationwide customer dialing. These include a uniform telephone numbering plan and a great quantity and variety of special equipment. The uniform telephone numbering plan is now being rapidly adopted throughout Alabama. The new name-numeral phone numbers were adopted in allotment for 1958 is enough to take care of about one-fourth of the farmers who filled out registration cards at the 1 recent signup. It is enough for the first 573 cotton agreements and the first 543 corn agreements.
That lacks about 100 farms of covering those that signed the official agreements, and lacks about 1700 of covering those that were issued registration cards. This county was allotted 302 for cotton and $192,379 for corn. The total of $486,681 is not much more than half the 000 that the Soil Bank paid to Marshall County farmers last year. That year 1350 farms participated in the program-about a fourth of those in the county. The original allotment to this county was $506,000.
Later, after farmers in other states didn't take up their allotments, their money was transferred to Alabama and was enough for all who applied, bringing the final figure up to $872,000. There is no possibility of that happening this year as farmers in all states used their full allotments. However, more money could still be made available by congress. The ASC office here is sending notices farmers who received whether not they are included registration don cards telling them in the program. Both years, just about all of those who signed up put in all their cotton and corn allotments.
Almost the only ones who didn't last year were those who couldn't because it was limited to 20 acres of corn and 10 of cotton (or of the farm's allotment.) This year there wasn't any acreage limit but there was a limit of $3,000 payment per person per farm. Just about the only ones who didn't put in all their allotment were about half a dozen who were affected by this limitation. More than 2200 farmers signed up last month and were issued registration cards. They signed agreements in the order in which they had signed up. At the time the government ordered the agreements stopped, 681 had signed for.
cotton and 673 for corn. PUBLICATION ORDER In Cause No. 9342 Gertrude Lavene Jacobs Nelson, Complainant. vs. David Jerome Nelson, Respondent.
In the Circuit Court of Marshall County, in Equity at Guntersville, Alabama. In this cause it appearing, from an affidavit on file, that David Jerome Nelson the respondent is a non-resident of this State and resides at 60 West Middle Pike Road, Manchester, Connecticut. It is therefore ordered that publication be made in The Advertiser-Gleam, a newspaper published in Marshall County, Alabama once a week for four consecutive weeks, requiring David Jerome Nelson, the said respondent, to plead, answer or demur to the allegations of the Bill of Complaint by the 11th day of March, 1958, or in thirty days thereafter a Decree Pro Confesso will be taken against David Jerome Nelson, Respondent. Made and entered this 4th day of February, 1958. J.
M. Brock, Register. Filed in office this 4th day of February, 1958. J. M.
Brock, Register. Guntersville last August. The central office designation assigned to Guntersville is JUstice. The first two letters of the office name plus the numeral following is the office code. Before customer dialing placed into effect, operator long distance dialing will be prevalent throughout the Bell System.
This is a method which enables local long distance operators to dial telephones in distant cities direct. For example, a telephone user in Guntersville desiring to call Chicago gives the Gadsden long telephone number. The operator plugs in on a direct Chicago circuit and dials the Chicago telephone number direct without any help from the Chicago operator.
