are very anxious to have her back
again.
H. G. Warren was ih Littlefield
hospital last week. He is also bet-
ter at this writing.
There is quite a lot of sickness at
Hodges now. May be its because its
been so warm for this time of the
year.
Mrs. Della Mitchell who has been
in this community for 9 or 10 years,
left last week to make her home in
Elmer, Oklahoma. We surely miss
Mrs. Mitchell and her chidren. They
were .regular in attendanding Sunday
school and church and will be great-
ly missed there as well as just a good
all-around neighbor. We learned to
love her and hope her great success
in her new home.
We understand Bob Pettit and
family are tp move on her place. We
welcome them and hope them lots
of success also. *
Farmers out this way are mostly
done pulling cotton. They are get-
ting everything set for the sand to
