Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

The Road to the City
The most creditable play that lias
been given in Riviera in many months
was the drama, “The Road to the
City,” put on by the Baffins Bay peo-
ple Friday night. The play itself was
good and every part well acted. There
was a good attendance considering the
very cold weather and very bad roads.
Had ^conditions been more favorable
there would have been a crowded
house. These people have proven their
ability to entertain and if they will
give another play soon when the
weather is favorable they will need
“standing room only" signs. The pro-
ceeds arc to he used toward a fund to
buy a set of encyclopdia for tho Baf-
j fins Bay school.
Mr. and Mrs. Denham have with
them for the holidays their daughters,
I,ula from San Antonio, Florence from
Arizona and Mr. and Mrs Vanelli of

Just how to light tiie Community
Hall has been a considerable problem.
It has been lighted until this week
with gasoline lamps and lanterns.
Carl Riskoh connoted it up with his
plant last week and furnished lights
for the play Friday night. While the
lights are not very bright they will be
much more satisfactory than the
lamps were.
Every Family Should Purchase a
Memorial Coin
The Farmers State Bank received
this week fifty Confederate Memorial
coins. These coins can he handled
only through the batiks and each town
in the South is alloted a number to
sell. Riviera’s quota being fifty coins
or $25.00. They are fifty cent pieces
and sell for $1.00, the extra fifty cents
to go to the Memorial Fund. The coins
are of special design, authorized by
Congress, are worth fifty cents as
legal tender and have the added value
of being the only coin of this type Is-
sued and backed by the government
as real money. It Is a beautiful coin
with an especial appeal to the South-
erner for on its face are the images
of Lee and Jackson In uniform, on
horseback; over them are the words,
“In God We Trust.” Around these
words ure thirteen stars representing
the thirteen states of the Confederacy.
On the opposite side is an eagle, sym-1
hoi of American liberty, rising from |
the summit of Stone Mountain. Below
is tin- inscription, "Memorial to the
Valor of the Soldier of the South,"
and underneath this is the word
"Liberty.” As a gracious gesture in ac-
knowledgment of the valor and Integ-
rity of tiie Southern soldiers, ‘The
North” lias agreed to furnish one half
of the cost of the Monument and "The
South” will furnish the other half.
There is only one other monument in
the world carved from a mountain ol
stone, the famous Lion of Lucerne, in
Switzerland and it is a pigmy in size
compared with the gigantic monument
being carved on the side of Stone
Mountain in Georgia. Texas should
bo one of the first states to take up
its allotment and Mr. Fimble is anx-
ious to have Riviera’s quota sold by
January 1. Every person should own
one for they will increase in value
as the years go by, every Southerner
should buy one if for no other reason
than to show our appreciation of the
gracious tribute of the United States j
government in authorizing the coin- i
ing of tliis testimonial to the valor oi I
our Southern heroes

and cupped Ids hand behind bis enr.
“What did he say?” he inquired.
"He fined you $10,” explained the

"For what?"
"For contempt of this court,” said
the clerk.
The lawyer shot a poisonous look
toward the bench and reached a band
Into bis pocket.
