Dear friends:
Aint we got fun tho*. Snow all
owfeithe*-place. Wouldn't same of1
this nice, cool weather come in ihan-
dy around next July?
I heard a lot of people talking
about the fun they had on the ice
last week. For Ed Hahn it was
not much fun because ihc accidently
slipped and hurt a hip, with the
result that he had to spend a good
deal of time in bed. Mrs. Hahn
said ;hc was getting better now, how
ever.
For those of you who did not
hear it, I have this suggestion for
the icy streets. Tack sodapop !ids to
your rubber heels with the crinkled
side down to grasp the ice as you
walk.
Mr. and M "S. Harve Stewart
spent several days in Andrews last
week until she was called to the
bedside of her father Ed Rash of
Peacock wtho is very iH,.

amateur radio operators in one of
the daily papers? As you know G.
C. Tarrance of tihis city (?) is a

ham in Andrews thru whom he
sends daily messages to James Ste-
wart on the condition of his grand
father Ed Rash who is very ill. All
telephone and telegraph communica-
tion is out between here and An-
drews.
Buster Trammel lhas returned
home from the hospital as has Win-
nie Shcrrod. Both soem to be con-
valescing nicely.
Oscar Hoy and children of Ver-
non are visiting his uncfe Pat Hoy
and othor relatives ihcrc.
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Mitchell
have recently moved into tihe Ed
Hahn building- Mrs. Mitchell told
me they were awaiting the comple-
tion of a house in Aspermont.
Mrs. John Hoy reports that Mr
Hoy is recovering very well. She
expectvd him home Tuesday but the
bad weather mav dc'ay it until the
last of the week.
The Quilting chd did not meet

or until they can get n regular place
