Muddy Field Drops M H S to Seymour in Lopsided Loss
Lat Coach Garrett's mud dogs suffered their first defeat of the season 13 to 0 to Seymour High School. Water holes and rough roads hampered the M. H. S. team, causing fumbles and blocked scoring chances. Seymour struck first on a kickoff miscue, then added a second quarter score. In the second half the locals pressured but slips kept them from scoring. The team gains speed and fierce tackling as they prepare for Unionville Friday.

New System Proposal Would Divide Appanoose County
A petition circulates in Moulton and nearby areas asking the Board of Supervisors and County Attorney Howell to split Appanoose County into three districts each electing one supervisor and maintaining representation. Districts would be Independence and multiple townships in District 1, several in District 2, and Vermillion through Lincoln townships in District 3. The plan mirrors Wayne county’s setup and aims to distribute highway funds more fairly. backers say sign up if your name is not yet on a petition.
