I made copies of these and returned the originals to Don Armstrong when he was in charge of Cleatis' estate. There must have been a March 17, 1938 Celeste Courier in her papers...was this when they married? I took a few notes as follows:) Three Generations Grandfather had a farm. Father had a garden. Son had a can opener. The subscription rate posted in the March 17, 1938 Courier for Hunt County residents was a $1.00 for the year. Hunt County voted for the New Farm Program, and the Celeste box tallied 395 votes "yes" and 32 votes "no." It had to do with a cotton referendum and marketing quotas. G. D. Henslee's brother, J. Frank Henslee of Paris, died at the age of seventy-eight. G. K. Cheatham, a brother-in-law of Celeste, also survived. The Celeste advertisers were Norris Drug, First National Bank, J. W. Pyle (Notary Public, Insurance-Real Estate-Loans), Dr. P. S. Pearson (General Practice above Norris Drug Store), J. R. Eastwood, Barber, Sparks and Roach Grocery, G. D. Henslee and Company, J. E. Cannon, M.D. (Norris Drug Store office), W. E. Lewis Grocery, Cheatham's Garage, Pete Hudson (Norge dealer), and E. D. Bickham and Son. First National Bank posted $201,581.42 in assets. Dan Turney was cashier. Directors were S. R. Granberry, J. A. Taylor, and J. W. Ewing. North Celeste Missionary Baptists had Jones Pearce as superintendent and WMS President was Mrs. E. L. Ewing. First Baptist had Jack Barbee as superintendent and WMU President was Mrs. W. W. McMichael. Sam Rayburn announced Democratic Primary, July, 1938, his run for Congress, 4th District. G. D. Henslee had oil ranges in style and size for every need and pocketbook. E. D. Bickham and Son had cabbage at two cents a pound. Sparks and Roach Grocery had quality-service-price. Quaker State Motor Oil was thirty-five cents a quart. It was pure as a mountain stream. W. C. Connatser had the Sinclair and Pure Pennsylvania oils. Phone 10 for service. ------
