did not care to make the trip over
land with us--she don't like the jar
ring of the automobile. However, we.
enjoyed the trip and never felt het-

pretty tough now but it is a good car

That car has been over lot of terri

your asphalt paving is about the best
that have seen any place in all of
my travels. l tell you when we hit
the old Carpenter Hill south of town
and looked down and saw Watertown
1t looked good to me- It is my
opinion that Watertown is destined
to make one of the largest and best

Texas and Mexico? Fine! Those

well, what do you know about that?"
Tune yourself to concert pitch--you
intend to be toned to stay; they will

than some folks have; as long as it
makes no difference whether you are

1175 names for registration for the
March primaries up to Tuesday even
ing. l may be able to get couple
hundred more voters to sign the reg

are a few who do not seem to care to

from now on but I viii keep at it as

my brother, August, every day or So.
He is getting along as we'll as could
be expected under the circumstances

(and there were at least a dozen of
them) and myself have called at your
sanctum to ascertain how much you
as editor of the Saturday News would
contribute towards the building of the
new Methodist church. While we
know that you are not Methodist,
leaned toward that church" on your
way home some evening as it is on
your road. OF course we would be
