Last Friday the Platte County Pirates were hosts to the Weston Blue Jays. It was homecoming for the Pirates and surely the old grads were proud of Platte County’s football team as they rolled over the Blue Jays by a score of 28-0.


Mrs. Thomas H. Perry, Jr., worthy matron of Daisy Chapter, and Miss Lorene Cox, district deputy grand matron of the 21st district, left Sunday for St. Louis where they attended the Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in session there the first of the week.
