 Need For Auditorium.- Eyeryhcdy should encourage the building of Masonic temple | in Prattyille. With an auditorium to seat l 1000 people it will have far-reaching I meaning. The Progress believes that such an auditorium will bring about a greater l spirit of co-operation.-Prattvi1le Progress. | As To Beautifying The HIgIrwayss--.It | would appear to the Huntsville Star that the state highway commission should reject all 1 proposals for highway advertising, at least l until such contracts are authorized or per mitted by the law-making body of Alabama.
