The Tribune has gained a standing

weekly newspapers of which the pub-
lisher feels a pardonable pride. In
the near future we are going to pub-
lish a story about the establishment
and growth of The Tribune, con-
taining facts to prove that this is
probably the most remarkable weekly
newspaper in Texas! The story will
be a tribute to Corrigan and her
citizens. It will be a true story. The
Tribune is rated as a first-class
newspaper. It is here to stay—it
will never die, at least as long as the
present publisher lives. And even
after his death this paper will no
doubt continue to live, because it Is
being built up In such a manner
that even now It is a valuable busi-
ness. The Tribune has a bona-fide
circulation. It is the only paper ln
the northern half of Polk county.
