E. (Haden) Sadler of Marlow, recalls some early day events in Fannin county. Sadler, who is 98 years of age, says he moved from the Dodd City area some 52 years ago and adds "the whole population has changed since He said he and his father, J.

W. Sadler, had been readers of the Bonham News for more than 100 years, starting when they lived west of Lannius where they farmed. His grandfather first settled about two miles west of Lannius and engaged in farming for many years. Sadler said he helped his dad haul many loads of cotton, corn, oats, and hay from their farm to market in Bonham, adding "it took good mules to get the wagons over the mud and bad roads." He attended school in Bonham when W. Pettis was superintendent and Miss Brown was the eighth grade teacher and Miss Cloes ninth grade teacher.

Some of his schoolmates he said were Marvin Hampton, Joe Bailey, Earnest Sparger, Ray Peeler, Tom Moore, Charlie Oldham, Arlin Hilbing, Grace Oldham, Joe Nunn and Mick Potts. "I have lived longer than all of my folks, except Uncle Sam McGree, who lived to be 98, so it looks like he and I will be in a tie at the present." Sadler said he recalled seeing two Negro men hanged "not far from the site of your new hospital. I think they claimed there were 20,000 people there. Web Riding was the sheriff and he had to pull the trigger. The men were named Berk and Massie.

Massie made a talk, but Berk said nothing." It's time for the Kueckelhan Rodeo again. The first performance is scheduled Wednesday night and the final show is set Saturday night.

The city street department has been giving the county a helping hand during the morning as it patched some breaks in the pavement of the parking area.

The "Do Not Enter" signs had been put up by the police department shortly after midnight as some folks start parking in the area before 5 o'clock each morning. Cathy is on vacation this week, but we wouldn't call it that. She's going to be helping her husband bale hay. David Norris is still trying tofigure out iust what he did to make that dog he thought was a good friend of his snap at him the other afternoon.
