Live in Arlington
Burlesoin friends were glad
to receive a Christmas letter
from Jack and Ruth Hagler
and their children, Sonny and'
Angie, former Burleson resi-
dents, but who now reside in
Arlington.
Sonny, ahnoeti fifteen, a
freshman at Lamar School in
Arlington, a good student, and
is beginning to discover that
little girls are pretty and ex-
citing. *.
Angie, now a teenager, is
also a good student at Nichols
Junior High School ,plays oboe
in the school band but is more
interested in playing the piano.
Jack was promoted to divi-
sion aMUMger this year with
The fellers seemed special
happy to git to the country
stere Saturday nite, and I don't
think it was all because most
of efti had family around the
house that they’d enjoyed about
as long as they could.. I figger
some of em was glad of the
. chanct to git ooh of the kit-
chen where they been stuffing
all week. Then to, Ed Doolittle
1 - was showing off the new chain
fer his pocket watch, and Bug
Hookum was sporting a hand
painted necktie with ,his check-
■ ered flannel shirt and they
weren't no doubt in the world
.. about them two items being
Christmas gifts.
Ed was tickled with his new
chain. He said his daughter that
. lives in the city found it at a
anteek sale, but it is brand new.
Bug said his old lady give him
the necktie that was made by
young, people in the church.
Bug said he was practicing
wearing the tie so he oouidh't
choke so bad when he had to
wear it to church so other
wimmen could see his old lady
was supporting the church
young people. Actual, Ed and
Bug and the rest of the fellers
held up real good through
Christmas, and they all was
thankful to enjoy another
Christmas season and be ready
to see another year come in.
Thinking about the Now
Year, Ed told the f oilers he was
mixed up about the sale of gold
being legal agin at the end of
December. Ed said back when
? we had gold money he kept a $6
gold piece in a sock under his
mattress, and he figured as
long as he had that piece his
Pa had give him he wouldn’t
- bo broke. Under this new deal,
Ed allowed, w got to use paper
to buy gold, and the gold ain’t
good for nothing. You can’t
spend it, and it won’t draw no
interest in the bank, Ed spid.
The only thing you can sell it
fer more"paper than you paid
fer it ’

When Tony Camall first
caane to town to work for Doc
Quince in the drug store, it
♦^ok only five minutes for
them to reach a verbal agree-
ment on a working contract.
Doc said, “I’ll give you $3
a day.”
Tony thought about that for
a while,./smiled, and then said:
“I’ll take $8 a day.”
That was the beginning of a

Tony took another $3.00 a day

The jury down at the couht.y
courthouse had just filed out
to deliberate.
The young defendant was
charged with larceny. He had
been convicted twice before on
felony charges. He knew a
third conviction would be verjf
rough.
The spectators all filed out
of their section for a breath of
air. The young defendant got
np i ___________
table and walked dazedly thru
the little gate into the people’s
section and sat down. He looked
worried sick. He seemed to
know this time he was headed
for prison for a long stay. Un-
consciously he lit a cigarette.
An old man, one of the court-
house regulars, as a spectator
came in. He was very much up
on all the courthouse rules, hut
had not been present for any
part of this particular case and
didn’t realise the boy's predic-
ament. He walked over and laid
a grandfatherly hand on his
Aouldor.

arette out, son. You could get
