Two very nretty girls met on

"What is it?" said his friend.
Ho pointed to the scene:
"Women doin&men's work!"
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hooper
of Nienda, Jones County, re-
cently celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary on the
farm where they have lived for
the last forty years.
The following item is taken
from the Longview Daily
Times, Longview Washington,
and Alto people will be glad to
know, that Wells Wright is
making good after starting
from the bottom ladder of life.
He is the son of Mrs. M. L.
Wright of this city. The Times
says:
This is the story of Wright
Wells.
It is r.ot an unusual story, nor j
a startling one—it is an in-]
t : . ting story though—a story
; f youth that is industrious and
nbitious.
The important thing*? about
it are these: That Wright work-
ed his way through two years
of high school, made good
grades, saved money, likes
Longview, and is well liked by
his employers and companions.
Wright came here from Alto,
Texas; a tow:n of 1100 popula-
tion. in August of 1927. He
was 16 then, and prior to his
decision to come to the new city
of Longview had never been
60 miles away from his home
town. Two brothers, twins,
were already working here, one
of them in the kitchen at Hotel
Monticello. The brother had to
quit his job on account of bad
health, and Wright got it.
In January of 1928 he start-
ed to school, and during the re-
mainder of the year, and the
pisuing school year of 1928-
1929 Worked part time at the
hotel (from 5 till 9 in the
evening) receiving his room
and board and a monthly sal
ary besides.
When school let out early
this month, Wright was put on
a regular shift as "relief man."
Each of several employes in
4he kitchen, such as the dish-
washer, the man who scrubs
pots and pans, and others,
takes one day off during the
week. Wright fills in for six of
them, and then has the seventh
day for himself. Out of his sal-
ary, he has been able to save a
portion each month, and re
cently sent $25 home to his
mother.
Asked about his grades at
, school, he was somewhat
apologetic: "They were only
fair," he said; but further
questioning revealed that they
were considerably above the
average. He carried five sub-
jects instead of the usual four,
and during one semester this
year received an "A" two
"B's" and two "C's." C is con-
sidered an average grade; B is
considered very good; and A
is superior.
He plans to continue
ucation, and year after
his "plan- work out,"
tends to start work at
