people OF Waxahachie and Ellis
county in having as the champion of

My best wishes go out to every citi-
zen of the county, and the hope is
expressed that the present owners
may continue in charge to assist in
the building up and solidifying of
the finest community of people that
inhabit any similar area on the
globe.
Congratulations again to you and
to the people whom you serve.
Very truly yours,
