You will prove by your presence
that you. as a citizen Of Lubbock,
are Interested in all that pertains
20 the welfare Of Lubbock.
During the past few weeks the
Society Columns have been almost
void Of the usual parties and social
affairs. We attribute this fact 70
the season Of Lent, which began on
Ash Wednesday and closes on Easter
Sunday.
In speaking Of Lent, perchance
some wonder what the exact mean
ing Of the word is The word IL
Anglo Saxon and means "the sea-
son Of spring" This annual fast
Of forty days, as commemoration
Of Christs fast Of forty days, de-
scribed in Mathew 4 and 2, and as
a preparation for Easter. the abb
staining Of amusements, and eating
Of hearty food, is enjoined by Greek,
Roman Catholic, English and Luth-
eran churches.
