A special nine-week short ses-
sion lor the benefit of educa-
tion-minded veterans return-
ing too late for the spring se-
mester in January will open at
the Southwest Texas State
College Monday, April 1.
Short session classes, by
meeting daily instead of three
times a week, will be able to
carry a full semester’s credit.
Courses will lie offered in his-
tory, agriculture, mathematics,
English, and bookkeeping.
The nine-week session was
inaugurated in the fall semes-
ter with a large response from
returning veterans and others.
Among those enrolling last
semester was Henry C. Giese
from West Point, Fayette
County.
Abraham Lincoln was writ-
ing st raighl-froiu-th c-shouldcr
when he penned this letter to
a ne’er-do-well relative:
’When I came into ( harle-
tou day before yesterday, i
learned that you are anxious
to sell the land you have and
move to .Missouri. I have been
thinking of this ever since and
cannot but think such a no-
tion is utterly foolish.
“What can you do in Mis-
souri better than here? is, the
land any richer.' Can you
there, any mun than heiv,
raise com and wheat ami oat.
without work? Uhl anybody
there, any more than here, do
your work for ymi. n y ou in-
tend to go to work, there a no
better place than right where
you are; if you do not intend
to go to work, you can not get

Back during the depression,

an insistent letter from a cred-

people and events and it goes
over because it is sincere.
Ty took this observer for a
drive one afternoon that end-
ed at Brownsville. Returning,
we came over the militarv
highway, which used to be
traveled by Robert E. Lee. My
host pointed out an old cannon
which he said marked the spot
where the last battle of the
Civil War was fought. Of
course, the Texans won it!

A city detective of Houston
had not Wen to church in
years and when at last his wife
prevailed on him to attend and
the collection plate was pass-

flashed his badge!
A commissioners’ court once
passed the following resolu-

we build a new jail; second,
that we build the new jail out
of the material from the old
jail and. third, that the old jail
be used until the new jail is
