Who received only 50 votes
out of 4000 cast showed up on
the street the next morning with

fpANKS CLOSED
It is with a feeling of regret
that we said goodbye to Dr Carl
Dubuy Wednesday morning His
unselfish and patient services with
Boy Scouts of Tulia will be felt
when the citizenry of tomorrow
takes over the reigns of government
The troop committee was
fortunate in securing the services
Rpf E C Tootle Goodman as his
successor Goodman young and
enthusiastic will be a most de
filrable replacement The same cooperation

one living through the depression
will have any fear of brim

Advantage
The unfortunate fact that Tulia
has no Chamber of Commerce is
a fortunate one in one respect It
J v has not added to our disappointment
Many of the chambers of
commerce are complaining that
the new census does not give them
the population to which they are
entitled This is expecting a little
too much of any census enumerator
to find as many persons in
jriown as the chambers have
claimed

GLEANED
A few bits of humor fell beneath

Tha reply came Sorry I
scarcely know you Then
there is the story of the drunk
who got in the cab and told the
driver to take him around the
block 100 times At the end of
the 66tH lap he leaned up front
and urged Make it snappy buddy

youve heard the one about
