Thursday Literary Club dedicates bench for its centennial
Members of the Nocona Thursday Literary Club are proud to announce the centennial celebration of its founding as an organized women’s club.
Several projects have been prepared to mark this historic occasion.
The club will host a private memorial meeting for members and former members on Oct. 3. At that time the summer-long writing project, sharing the club’s story aligned with the story of Nocona through the decades, will be presented.
After that meeting, around 4:15 p.m., a park bench commemorating the event will be dedicated in Mary Beckman Davis Park and a display of club memorabilia including some club yearbooks from the 1930s and 1940s will be on view at the Nocona Public Library, 10 Cooke St. through the month of October.
Starting on Oct. 4 a selection of historic posters will be on display in the store windows of the generous merchants on Clay Street in downtown Nocona.

County 4-H council hosts rabies clinic
The Montague County 4-H youth council is hosting a rabies clinic from 9 to 11 a.m. on Oct. 5 at Bowie Tractor Supply Company.
Staff from county veterinarian clinics from Bowie and Nocona will be there to give your dog a rabies shot along with the tag. A tent will be set up out front, so be on the lookout for this event. There will be a discounted rate of $14/dog. Dogs must be on a leash.
October also begins the sale of Paper 4-H Clovers for $1/clover. Tractor Supply proudly began their partnership with 4-H in 2010 and have helped raise more than $20 million through these Paper Clover fundraisers. The success of these campaigns has impacted over 80,000 students by providing them with hands-on learning experiences through projects in STEM, agriculture, healthy living, and civic engagement.
All of the funds raised through the two Paper Clover fundraisers directly benefit 4-H and member youngsters work with – 90% of donations directly support 4-H youth in the state it was raised, and the remaining 10% supports national 4-H programming.
Montague 4-H youth participate in this community service to help them understand that working with the public is key to a successful and well-rounded 4-H career. For more information about the Montague County 4-H program call the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension office at 940-894-2831.
