"Sigin' Skule"
is the title of an entertainment which will be presented by home-talent players
at the Stranger school house Friday night. Mrs. G. P. Reeves is directing. The
program is given in celebration of the building of a stage in the school
building for use in school and community.
"This is going ti be good," said T. F. (Sport) Brothers, "who was in Marlin
Saturday and incidentally gathering material for a "stunt." "Some of our folks
can certainly sing -- and dance, too. It is free and everyone is invited."
S. J. Gilbert and J. B. Walling of Waco, highway patrolman, stopped a few
minutes here. "At this time there are forty-one officers patroling the
highways," said Mr. Walling. "Naturally it is quite difficult to keep up with
everything on the thouswnads of miles of busy highways. However, we find the
people as a rule very considerate of the rights and safety of others and our
work is not difficult. Additional officers will go on duty soon."
Mr. Walling called attention to a new law which came into effect August 22,
in which drivers of all trucks on one-ton capacity and more must have a truck
driver's license. "This means ALL drivers" he emphasized, "whether the truck is
used for hire or not."
"How about advertising a bale of cotton for sale?" said Albert Tomlinson
Friday. "I sold all my peaches and grapes by advertising in the Democrat --
maybe if I advertised my cotton I can sell it, too."
