$50 at the Texas Steer" play tonight.
The overture will be played at s:l5.

hurry up our lsggard theatre goers,

Good roads and needed bridges are
things which Delta county must have.
Must, because they are needed. The
county itself is obliged to keep pace
with its own developement-with the
progress being forced upon it by grow

Not to do SO would be to make of itself
its own stumbling block and bar to it's
own progress.
