Dated thi, 19th day of Dec-ember,
A. D. 1932
When President Hoover congratu-
lated the president-elect on his op-
portunity for service to the American
people he did a courteous thing. It
revealed the love that is in his great
heart for us all. Probably no presi-
dent ever took the oath with such
brilliant prospects as will Franklin
Roosevelt in March 4. 1933. He comes
in with a united congre-s to support
him. The Democratic party is to be
congratulated that it lias no rene-
gades to contend with. Tliey are at
present united. The Republican par-
ty is infected with revolters. who,
elected as Republicans repudiate par-
ty rules and regulations and disrupt
party organiaztion. They should be
dumped from party councils. I am a
party man, my father was and so
was my grandfather, but I am sport
enough to accept the verdict of the
people and so Franklin Roosevelt is
my president and I wish him great
success in the many difficult prob-
lems which will confront him. His
life will not be easy. He may have
friction with his party. I hope- not.
Hut I hear that those who feel that
a change in administration will bring
quickly a change in economic condi-
tions will be disappointed. Such
changes do not occur rapidly.
In our state government we
confronted with similar problem, and I
I am hoping that the incoming ad-
, ministration will act wisely and ac-
jiccmplish much which will produce
“'valuable relief to our people. In our

Santa Claus busted into our home
Tuesday night with a big cedar
Christmas tree. Did not recognize him
at first for he had shaved off his
whiskers and the round belly that
used to quiver like a bowl of jelly
had disappeared. He gave me the usu-
al lodge sign and it brought recog-
nition. Went over to the "quarters"
the other day and bought a few ne-
cessities from Vem and Mary Ellen
and it sure is a pleasant place to
trade in for they are very courteous
and prices are just right thank you.
One time the late Thomas Mar-
shall said “all this country need, is
a good five cent cigar." We have
them now at five cents and two for
five and the latter may be purchas'd
at College-port's Palacios Pharmacy,
but if one hangs- around a little time
Hugo will give them away in bunch-
es of ten so anxious is he to close out
his stock of twofers. I had some and
they are not so snooty as one might
expect. With such necessities as
cigars at two for five and beer at
five cents the stein, things ought to
slip back into the normal we enjoyed
before the war.
Saturday. Dec. 31 is the last day
of the year and on that day will be
t held the annual New Year s Comnui-
! nity dinner. It will be held, no mat-
ter what the weather, for certain
folk will be there and enjoy a boun-
teous repast, smoke some twofers and
exchange chatter. Better bring your
sack of digestibles and keep the day
by holding up the torch of remem-
brance. Fine time for Monty to bring
his fine family down to the town at
the end of the road. The entire
county court should be present and
see for an hour, what it means to
live at the end of the road. I want
them to know what it means to look
across a short span of water at Pa-
lacios, a mile distant and realize
that to reach it they must drive 32.6
miles. A Kansas woman reader writes
me a Christmas letter and says “1
think it would have been most en-
joyable to have attended the Christ-
mas party you wrote up in the Trib-
une. The community does splendid
things. But. what has happened to]
cause you to say that the viaduct is
two years in the distance? I have
been feeling so sure that progress
was nearer than just around the cor-
