At a local church the Sunday school
superintendent asked the assembly
what season it was, expecting to be

informed all that it was Leap Year.
A leport from J. B. Ruthland, as-
sistant state supervisor of vocational
Vacation, was received by John R.
Spivey, vocational agriculture 'teacher
i Bonham High School, Wednesday.
This report, which is the result of a
recent visit here by Mr. Ruthland,
is very complimentary of the work
being done here, stating 'that the boys
here are doing above the average
grade of work for the state and that
some of the boys are doing exception-
ally well.
As Adrian Castile was returning to
his home east of town Tuesday night
after having been to Bonham for the
weekly drill of the Texas National
Guard, two men with a pistol stopped
him in Biois d’ Arc bottom, forced him
to take off his coat and shoes and
robbed him of $28.00. He was told
not to look back (he did not) and
came on back to town as fast as fast
as shoeless feet would carry him. Of-
ficers later found his coat and shoes
but the men and the money were gone.

mouth, have sour stomach, my

Black-Draught it relieves me and
I feel like a new person. I don’t
