then all we will have TO wait on will

CPEAKING OF impressions made
~ by the Valley. Major James G..
Hall, who has recently been
transferred from the canal zone 20
! Fort Brown. says he has found the
/ spot he has been looking for all these
years and finds 1t right here in the
Valley.
He declares that when he retires
here is where he will build his home
and spend his declining years. Folks
bv the name OF that borne by the
major often show signs of superior
intelligence, and there are lots OF
people In the United States. who can
be persuaded as the major has, al
most of his " accord.
IN OUR recent soiourn to that
state below Missouri. we passed
~ through Sherman. Texas. and
before we realized that we headed
into the town where the mob had
burned the courthouse, we were
driving past the ruins.
Ruined Is right. There was only
me right corner or n fErSt iloor
left and masons were busy laying
bricks for a new structure.
And now We wonder If the lone
eagle. which for many years has
been making its flight north and
south and resting on the top of the
sherman court house will like the
new building well enough to stop
and take its rest. The eagle story
oft az Sherman has become an an
ma event in the newspaper world.
