LETTER FROM FORMER PASTOR

We are in receipt of a letter from
Rev. w. L. Rowan, a former pastor
of the local Congregational church.
Mr.. Rowan is now in the merchan-
disc and produce business at Bishop,
Cal. His letter is as follows:
Dear Ralph-How goes it? From
every appearance the Courier seems
to be thriving. I am glad to see it
do so. Politics seem to always boil
with you people. We are in wet
and dry campaign and expect to
again go dry 2 to | or worse. We
know that a dry town is better than
a wet town financially, morally and
every other way You people up
there have few things to learn yet
on some matters. One is the pros
perity of a dry town. Bank deposits,
business, everything away ahead of
the wet regime. Well good luck and
best regards to all the staff.
Sincerely yours,
w. l.. Rowan.
