Mr. Golbow moved Golbows is in a new service station and new garage and the Addicks Post Office and Schulz Grocery are moved some distance from the present highway. A lady moving to California came through Saturday and stopped asking where the U.

S. Post Office was in Addicks. When she was directed to the building way back off of the highway amidst the dust and turmoil she asked Postmaster Schulz, "What Happened? I'm in a mess moving to California but I believe you are in a bigger mess." She handed packages and letters up to the postmaster. You know the postoffice continued to give service even though the building was up on moving blocks from 4:40 p.m. Friday until about that time Monday afternoon when Skeet's set the building on new blocks.

As patrons drove up Postmaster Schulz would hand the mail out of a window. Because of the postoffice, a shell roadway to the building was constructed. Since Friday they have had no water or gas but the HL Co. did see that they had electricity for lights. Mrs.

Schulz said they usually are open on Sunday too. They have a combination grocery, cafe and a service station. She cried Monday. This being forced to move does make hardships there is a terrible lot of work involved and who hasn't got all they can do without something like this and then, for sentimental reasons, too, tears flow. Mr.

Schulz said moving away from trees and little conveniences you arranged over the years tears you up. To the left of them is lots of construction underway as FM Road 1960 will come directly across the railroad and south. Mrs. Schulz said a Super 10 overpass will be constructed in front of them and there will be a feeder road in front of the post office. Golbows Garage, the other business place of Addicks is now in a new service station said the highway department gave him until August 15th to be out of the old location.

This really rushed them in moving. Henry Speckmaier bought the home which was attached to the garage. Joe Golbow howed where the highway rpperty extends to now and aid they will not let you build nything 12' from that boun- ary. He and Schulz will be on he feeder road to Interstate 0 when all construction is ompleted, he said. Yes, Addicks businesses are moved for a federally ontrolled highway, Interstate O.This progress is enjoyed by he travelers, but painful for he local taxpayers.

The Tigers will open the season September 6 when they play host to the Navasota Rattlers. The Tigers had to fight off a last minute scoring effort last year to defeat the Rattlers 18-13. The Rattlers will have the majority of last years team returning so the Tigers will have to make every minute count in the remaining two weeks of practice if they are to preserve their record of winning their opening game which they have done for several years. The Tigers must find replacements for such stellar performers as Othel Sanford, Bill Schlottman, Don Elder, Charles Cooper, Orval Rhoads and Jerry Gipson, lost by graduation. Sanford, Schlottman and Elder held down key line positions while Cooper, Rhoads and Gipson accounted for 1763 of the 2987 yards total offense the Tigers posted last year.
