DR.. Beach returned from Montesano
Wednesday afternoon, after being de-
tanned week on the murder trial of

speech for that part of the county and
we believe Mr.. Ross can produce some
strong arguments for thinking men.

Senator John L. Wilson made an
interesting speech on the issues of the

speakers. Senator Wilson is an enter
tanning speaker and we are always
glad to have him visit Shelton. AL
