weekly papers, but to the Dallas
News and Star-Telegram, and other
large city papers as well.)

Most editors print the news as
soon as it happens, but W. W
Barksdale, Jr. of the Clarksville
(Tenn) Star, might well advertise
that his paper prints it before it
happens, as witness this letter which
he published in a recent issue o ’
his paper under the head of "Editor
Beats Stork to the Draw—Maybe":
1 am told that your paper, The
Star, last week announced that twin
sons were born at my house.
This news was interesting, but
surprising to my wife and me.
Naturally we try to keep up with
the goings on around our house
and are at a loss to understand how
an event of such personal import-
ance could have escaped our at-
tention.
Pepped up by the representation
in your paper we have hung out
the welcome sign. But we would
like to know the names of the
youngsters and any other informa-
tion about them that might be in
your possession.

County. Is Better Off
Financially
According to the recent quarterly
report of L. C. Massie, County
Treasurer, from Jan. I to March 3 I,
1936, a balance of $22,227,98 is
shown to the credit of the county
in all funds. A year ago the treas-
urer s report showed an overdraft
of $8,816.80. In other words the
county is $31,044.78 better off this
year than a year ago.

ing Presbyterian minister, has ac-
cepted a call to the First Presby-
terian Church in Mineral Wells. He
conducted his first services there
Sunday. He will move his family
from Fort Worth in the near future
and will make his home in the
