sured at Alamo Sir Fite presented the
banner won by Crockett Star Lodge
for having paid a dollar for each Of

magnificent leadership of DR.. Thomas
is doing great work. They have
purchased lot upon which they are
building fine hall

of fertile land which will yield at
least two bales of cotton. They will
apply the proceeds to the payment on
the hall. The mmebers take turns in
working the land.
Upon the fourth Sunday in Septem-
ber,they will stage a big rally, each
member donating at least one dollar.

day in Alamo
Team work is the secret of their
wonderful success. Dr. Thomas has
the esteem and confidence of all the
people in his section.
