DURANT ELIGIBLE
FOR new POSTOFFICE
DISPATCH REPORTS
SUM OF $4,000 Is APPROVED
FOR THIS PLACE

Durant is numbered among the
towns in Mississippi on the eligi-
BILE list for new postoffices and a
congressional committee has APP
proved the sum of $4,000 for this
place, according to a Washington
dispatch.
The same sum was also approx
ed for Leland and Shelby who
are also located in the third con-
gressional district.
After the committee recon-
mendations have been made to
and approved by Congress the
places where postoffices will be
built will be selected.
1t is probable that at least one
postoffice will be built in the
third congressional district. The
slection will be made from the
three towns named, all three of
which are second-class offices.
This city has long felt the need
of a new postoffice building and
it is to be hoped that every voter
in this town will contact Con-
gresham Wilmington and try to
secure the new p~ostoffice for Du-
rant.

and classification.
The time has now arrived when
we can cease our wishing and go
into action for very shortly a bill
will be presented to Congress for
the appropriation of % million
dollars for public buildings.
When this bill is passed, and it
is said to be a certainty that it
will, the towns getting the post
offices will be selected from the
eligible list.
Durant, Leland and Shelby, all
in the third congressional dis
trict, are on the approved list
and $4,000 is the amount listed
for each place.
It's up to rs to see that Du-
rant is n of the towns selected.
Let's all show our congressman,
the Hon. Will M. Wilmington,
that Durant really needs and
wants a postoffice bad enough
to work to get it. Let's start
NOW!
49, =,
There's nothing in the world
that will perk up a woman's
feelings like a new hat. It's a
cure-ali, as we've said many
times, for anything that ais you.
A new hat combined with a box
of rouge or a new lipstick is a
combination irresistible to any
man. lHow many Of them would
want to resist anywayD
But the point is this: If a new
head dress or a new shade of
paint does so much for the fe-
male Of the species, why would
MT q few coats Of paint and a
little head dress be a good thing
for a town?
We're fully convinced that a
few coats of paint on a few
buildings in the city of Durant
would help the feelings and dis
positions of everybody that comes
into the town, not Eve consider
ing all of us who stay here all
the time.
It's a sad but true fact that
old implanted buildings in need
of repair give a drab dead APP
pearance to any town.
We hate to admit it but Du-
rant doesn't give as favorable an
appearance as it could to the
public.
Let's get gay and giddy with
color! Let's paint Durant (not
red) but some color that will
make people sit up and take
notice.
After all we do have to get
ready for the new p~ostoffice
we're going to get!
5000 people r a lot of people
and that is just the number ex-
pected to attend the annual mule
and colt show at Lexington to.
morrow in Wilson's Grove.
A showing of fine livestock,
music, free barbecue and comic
stunts are only a few of the fea-
lures to be offered on this all
day program. Everybody is urg.
ed to come and see what growing
livestock at home can do for the
financial status and well-being OF
our farmers. 1t will be vel
worth attending.
Who says there aren't any
cavemen in Durants Little Roy
Williams assisted by his play
mates has dug an extensive cave
in his back yard, large enough
to accommodate several small
people. Needless to say they have
too much fun playing pirates anc
the like.
We'd like an invitation to hell
divide the spoils but we haven
been able to figure out how wee
make the entrance.
