James Brewer and wife, of
Ballinger, are visiting his father
J, W. Brewer, out in the Bangs
country. They were in the city
Wednesday morning in the Bal-
linger man’s auto car, and to the
Bulletin man the surprising
thing was to find father Brewer
‘seated on the back seat of the
car as if thoroughly enjoying life.
A few months ago a Bulletin
representative met him and asked
him how Jim was getting along
at Ballinger. “Alright” was the
reply, “he is prospering and has
