| On this day in history: |
1887 - The Sulphur Springs Leather Manufacturing Company was advertising "Sensible Colars" for horses that would adjust itself to the neck of any horse or mule. They were located on the north side of Main Street. 1965 - O.C. Eppars delivered the first bale of cotton ginned in Hopkins County for the year. Eppars farmed two miles south of Brashear and had delivered 2000 pounds of cotton that resulted in a 540 pound bale and 800 pounds of seed. Lawrence France ginned the cotton at the France Gin and Mr. S. T. Garrison, chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, presented Mr. Eppars with a $75. prize. And, the SSISD faced a "snag" in their integration plan, but Tom P. Linam, superintendent, stated that he felt it was just a matter of formality and could be resolved quickly. 1977 - The best estimates of the population of Sulphur Springs, as made by Texas Power and Light Company, revealed that 12,863 people lived in the city. The city had only 10,642 people when the national census was recorded in 1970. |
