finding the car still intact and in

In regard to Brady’s courtesy
and accommodation to tourists, in
the providing of convenient rail
travel, when road travel is not so
convenient, the Brownwood editor
Monday editorialized thus:
"As a matter of fact, we are not
all here even now, our family’s
car having been abandoned in Bra-
dy last night because it is not a
sistant guardian. She has been
both a Camp Fire Girl and a
guardian.

Friends of Mrs. Bill Byrom will]
be glad to know that Mrs. Byrom |
seemed to be doing well after an
operation last Tuesday in a Brown-

Everyone reported a good time
at the ‘Valentine entertainment at
the school auditorium. Twenty:
three tables of games furnished
entertainment after the supper and
program had been concluded. The
liberal pounding stocked the girls

of the term, and the supper and
sale of eggs brought about thirty
dollars, which will help to com-
plete our equipment.
The girls of the economics class,
and everyone interested, wish to
express their thanks especially to
Mr. Sam Woods of Brady, who sent
them a cake pan, and to the mem-
bers of the Piggly-Wiggly of Bra-

will be very useful and the gift

CARD OF THANKS
Our hearts go out in deepest
gratitude to neighbors and friends
for their kindly ministrations to
our beloved husband and father in
his last illness. Also for the words
of comfort and consolation at his
passing, and for the beautiful flor-
al tokens, we thank you, and ask
that God’s blessings richly reward
you. MRS. M. S. LEE,
