DELIGHTFUL HOMECOMING.
Mrs. Dan Day, formerly Of this city,
but for several years a resident Of
Chaplin, Texas, arrived ia Mexico
Tuesday to make an extended visit to
relatives and friends. Mrs. Days
daughter, Mrs. Louis Doss, Of St.
Louis, accompanied her mother to
Mexico beautiful. A large delegation
Of relatives met the two ladies at
Union Station and there was much
rejoicing. All took automobiles to
the coy and happy home Of Misses
Sallie and Matte Carter, In Southwest
Mexico, where a big feast was reeled
of. Mrs. Day is a sister Of the Misses
Carter. This feast was just the be-
ginning Of the homecoming Jubilee.
Many such delightful social functions
will be enjoyed and Mrs. Days stay in
Mexico promises to be one sweet
dream. She and Mrs. Doss are Just
as welcome to this city as are the
flowers in May, ., JOY

We again called to see our friend,
Maj. Tom Barnett, Tuesday at his

sleeps and eats fairly well. He doesn't
look bad, but is weak. Hope this

send him a jug Of Cottonwood Springs
