VILLAGE VOICES
Village Jife in East Texas has
contributed something fine,
.clean and strong to the life of
m
If
HV
tiie jotate and the Nation. Today
the high tempo of modern life
lias passed by some of these
quiet little places along the
highways and on the peaceful
back roads. Stop and let the
village voices call to you. They
can tell some of the most inter-
esting chapters in the history of
tiie State and of some of its great
personalities.
Blossom Prairie gave America
a Vice President. Peachtree
Village sent a great industrial-
ist forth to the world of busi-
ness. Myrtle Springs has sent
strong sons into the great mar-
ket places. Elysian Fields and
Jacobia and Rosebud have made
their mark in the halls of fame.
Read the biographies of the
great in Texas annals and you
will find in many of them the
well-springs of character and
training back in some small vil-
lage where there was love and
truth and faith and mothers
and fathers who taught honor,
self reliance, resourcefulness, in
typical American homes.
Here we find the practical
school of economics of the for-

general store, home-spun philor

BiS’-
To the Voters of Titus and Morris
Counties:
I shall never forget the loyal sup-
port of my many friends in both
Titus and Morris counties in my
race for Representative.
I have tried hard to serve my
Commissioner’s Precinct well for
the past six years. Your vote of
nearly three to one in my favor
proves that I shall always remem-
ber the faith and confidence you
have placed in me.
I am proud that you, my friends
in both counties, helped me to run
a clean race, and I want to thank
each one of you again for your
splendid support.
Respectfully yours,
G. C. LUNSFORD.

I clearing and grubbing of right-of-

laborers, according to Herbert Tuck,
Mt. Livingston teacher. Commis-

jnd the automobile have
brought village life closer to the
outside world, there still re-
mains much of the detached and
quiet neighborhood life. Per-
haps in yonder humble, unpaint-
ed cottage some barefoot boy or
girl is dreaming dreams of con-
quest and achievement that will
make the world pay homage to
this country place.
Let us be thankful for the lit-
tle communities that help to
mould our State and National
ifudacter. Let us hope, as we
build more gfaf^ly cities, that
the village may
the earth. For 'here, far from
the seething crowds, sheltered
from the storm and strife of
fierce competition of busier
marts, there is a shrine of com-
munity life to which we owe a
debt of gratitude.—Hubert M.
Harrison.
