ability for any publisher to meet
the weekly payroll and the expens-
es incident to the publishing busi-
ness. Another thing many have not
thought of in this connection is
that the year ’87 waa one of the
most trying times ever experienced
in this section of Texas. The ex-
treme dry weather in1 1886-87 re-
duced the yield of alt crops to al-
most nothing, necessitating help
from the Federal government for
the relief of many families who
were < placed in dire financial cir-
cumstances. Of course, there have
been other years during this forty-
year period that have been almost
us bad, but in all those trying times
the Granbury News has continued
steadfastly to be published regu-
larly.
It is only natural that during
this space of time Mr. Gaston has
incurred the ill-wili of a few of the
people in his home town and coun-
ty. No one person can satisfy
TRIBUNE GETS ACQUAINTED
WITH DUBLIN CLIENTELE
(By Sue Belle Hollingsworth)-
Last Saturday found the Tribune
reporter in Dublin enjoying one of
the most pleasant days this scribe
has had in a long timet the moat of
the time being spent in mixing with
the big Saturday crowd there, see’
ing a number of old friends and
meeting many nqw ones during the
day.
Though Dublin is only a few min-
utes’ drive from Stephenville, yet
it is not often this particular re-
porter gets to spend a nice, long
day with the good people of that
city.
Having only a slight acquaint-
ance with the Tribune subscribers
FORTY YEARS YOUNG
Frank Gaston, veteran editor of
the Granbury News, closed forty
years of continuous service with
his newspaper two weeks ago. It
was in the fall of 1887 that he as-
sumed the publication of the News
and during this long period of time
he has missed seeing the paper on
the press but six times and on five
of those six he helped to prepare
the copy and assisted otherwise in
getting ready for the press. This
is, indeed, a record that Mr.(Gh*ston
might well feel proud of. More so
than ever perhaps when it is re-
membered that forty years ago the
newspaper business in this section
of Texas was not so well establish-
ed and it required real business
everybody, but very likely most of f jown jn that part of the cqunty it
the complaints that have been
lodged against Editor Gaston grew
out of a misinterpretation of the
policy of the paper or something
that was published therein. A pe-
culiar and fine thing about the
policy of Mr. Gaston is that he
never allows his personal feelings
to interfere with his duty in sup-
plying Granbury and Hood county
with a good, clean weekly news-
paper. It is our opinion that Gran-
bury has never' really appreciated
the work of Mr. Gaston in the full-
est sense, for it seems that the ad-
vertising columns have shown a
low percentage fit different times.
Yet, Frank Gaston is reputed to be
one of the most substantial busi-
ness men of Hood county. This is
conclusive evidence of his business
ability.
The Tribune is glad to extend to
Frank Gaston its warmest con-
gratulations and wishes for him a
full measure of success in the com-
ing years. His paper is something
he can well point to with pride, be-
cause it is clean, newsy, well print-
ed and always representative of
Granbury and Hood county.
Knape, route three; S. Dixon from
Bunyan, on route four, and W. B.
Thompson, another citizen of the
Bunyan community, who gave the
one, noticeably improving as the
weeks go by.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowden, Mrs. Alice
Winters and “Doc” and President
Joe Little of the Farmers National
Bank, and Myrt Robbins, who is
running a most profitable and up-
to-date Chevrolet sales business,
complete the list of those seen and
talked to during the day.
Everybody was in a pleasant hu-
mor, everybody was cordial and
nice and numbers of Invitations
extended us to come back
personnel of the school out there. alfaini which this reporter sincere-
ly Dopes to do in the near future.
After dispensing invitations to
the people over there to come to
the big Erath County Fall Fair to
be held in Stephenville from the
19th to 22d of October, inclusive,
the reporter bid Dublin goodbye
and turned toward Stephenville and
'home—which, after our strenuous
day’s work surely looked good to
this weary reporter.

“While visiting a friend in an-

dance given by a school for deaf

tive-looking young woman I smil-

wiggled my fingers. She smiles,
nodded and we - danced for some
time in absolute silence until a
young fellow came up and touched
her on the arm. ‘Time to go home,
isn’t it. Sis?’ he said. ‘Yes,* she
answered, ‘just as soon as I get

and if possible, learn what they are
interested in most. .
It has ever been the intention of
the Tribune to give its readers the
best it has to offer in the way of
news, especially local news.
Starting out with a feeling of
great anticipation for the day’s ad-'
ventures, this editor of the local
columns on the Stephenville Tri-
bune felt it a most favorable omen
that the first person met was
Postmaster Hallmark, a former
good citizen of Stephenville, whose
cherry greeting and hearty wel-
come seemed to start the day off
just right.
Q visit to the office of the Dublin
Progress where Editor Sullenberger
and son were busy as the proverb-
ial bee, hut who took time to wel-
come the visitor and spend a few
minutes of their precious time chat-
ting about newspapers and editorial
work in general, and your reporter
was out in the .crowd. ,
Coming in from every direction,
they were soon crowding the streets
and filling the stores where-busy
clerks hurried to wait on as many
of them as possible. Every house
in town seemed to be doing a rush-
ing business.
Farmers in that section say an-
other week will see all the cotton
gathered. The cotton crop has been
somewhat short this year but feed
crops of all kinds and corn in
plenty have been harvested for the
coming winter and spring.
Among the first farmers met
were B. F. Salyer and A. J. Bird,
who live out near Edna Hill school
house. They are on route one out
of Dublin. L. C. Fowler was an-
other good farmer from the Edna
Hill community. A. A. Whitfield
and W. 11. Johnson, of Dublin route
one, and H. S. White from route
one near Shiloh school house were
also among those transacting busi-
ness -m -'Dublin that day. ATnong
those from route 6 were W. H.
Hightower and M. E. Stephens, one
of the Tribune’s subscribers and’
staunch friends for the past five or
six years, who lives in the Lone
Oak community about half way be-
tween Stephenville and Dublin. Will
B. Read, of the Cottonwood com-
munity, on route 6 was also in the
city Saturday and says the school
out there'will begin soon with'Miss
Hazel Snead, of Dublin, as principal
and Miss Roberts, of Lingleville,
assistant. Mr. Read is well known
in Stephenville where he used to
visit friends frequently. Others
from route six were C. I. DeWitt,
who has lived in the county for
twelve years; B. C. Sheffield and W.
M. Carpenter, who says he likes the
Tribune and expects to take it
agnin some day. J. H. Stroud, route
six, is also a former subscriber to
the Tribune who says he’s "coming
hack.” W. H. Hightower, from
route six and M. D. Brumbalough
who hns lived in the county near
Harbin for the past two years hav-
ing moved there from the plains,
complete the list of good farmers
wo met from out in that direction.
Mr. Brumbalough says the Harbin
school is due to open soon with B.
E. Oliver, principal, and one as-
sistant, whose name he could not
recall. Mr. Brumbalough is con-
templating buying a small farm
near Stephenville in the near future
in order thnt his children may have
the advantages offered by the
splendid public school system of
the city.
From out on route eight were D.
P. Prater from near Shiloh. J. W.
Montgomery from the Purves com-
munity, W. M. Sanderfer also from
that community, who reports the
opening of the Purves school about
October 1st, with Professor Clen-
denin, of Alexander, superintend-
ent. E. G. Abies, who lives out on
route eight, but who-is sub-carrier
for route four, was also in the city
in the afternoon. W. E. Wooley
and Jim Gentry were among those
noted from route aeven, J. Ji.
as follows: Professor Hammonds,
principal, Glenn Caudle and sister,
Miss Gay Caudle, of Stephenville,
and Miss Barbee, of Edna Hill, as-
sistants. The school will open the
10th of October.
J. W.’ Leatherwood, another good
Tribune subscriber from Lingleville
who does quite a lot of trading in
Dublin, was there Saturday. He re-
ports the opening of the Lingleville
school on October first. Professor
Emmett Moon is superintendent,
Collin Jones, principal, with four
assistants.
C. W. y[eems, who at one time
worked with the Stephenville Pro-
duce Co. then under the manage^
ment of Cress and Smith, but who
has been employed at Dublin for
several years is leaving the county
soon to make his home at Sweet-
water.
R. C. Christian from out near
Topaz on the Lingleville road, route
two, was in town that afternoon.
A. L. Robbins, a Tarleton gradu-
ate in ’23, is now buying cotton -in
Dublin.
Forney Dawkins, a Tarleton
graduate and his wife who was
Mi^s Mary Nell Rea, also a gradu-
ate of John Tarleton College, have
been spending the past few weeks
near Dublin with his parents. They
left Monday for O’Brien, Texas,
where Forney goes to assume his
duties as superintendent of the city
schools.
Leonard Hancock, who keeps a
fine herd of dairy cows, was also in
the city Saturday.
Then there was Lee Pipes, who
spoke ft good word for the Tribune
and its hard wording stuff which
greatly cheered and heartened us
on our way. He says the Stephen-
ville Tribune is a splendid weekly
newspaper/in<l a decidedly growing
