NOTHING MAGICAL

Lubbock is past the age OF

period of the history and life Of
young people, when there is
more or less frivolity The same
is true with towns. They most
always pass through a period in
which they Jump at everything,
claim everything but as they
grow older they settle down to

Lubbock. She has passed the
age of frivolous things. She is
settled down 70 a business gait.
Buildings the most substantial
TO be found on the Plains are
being erected sidewalks that
will stand the test. Water
works that are adequate for the
general needs Of cities three
times the size of Lubbock. A
sewer system that would be a
credit to a town several times
the size Of Lubbock. These are
all in course of construction.
