To the City Council: I am
glad to give you any informa-

lieve you can collect an occu-
pation tax from “The Son’s

state, that they occupy the
curb around the First Nation-

their main occupation, but
they would appeal it to the
Supreme Court, and you
would no doubt loose. A bet-
ter way to move them is to
offer them a job!

The Grandview Tribune
Grandview, Texas
Dear J ack and Richard:
This is in reply to your
very nice circular letter post-
marked October 24.
Of course we want to have
a part in helping you to buy
the new press and at the same
time pay our subscription to
the paper. This is one of the
cleverest collection schemes
that we have run into in many
a year. Our hats are off to
both of you.
Right here we want to say
that we certainly appreciate
the Tribune and we commend
you folks upon a very nice,
interesting and instructive
newspaper. The format is
pleasing. The display adver-
tisements are well setup; the
local news complete and well
worded.
The “letters from Dad Ed-
wards” are always exceeding-
ly interesting. Ted Gouldy
Gouldy quotes him frequently
in his Sunday morning broad-
casts.
If we had any criticism at
all to offer we might suggest
that you 'editorialize a bit
more; however, if you did, we
might not agree with you and
thereby start an argument.
So keep~her coming “as is.”
Very truly yours.
B. B. INGLE
While Grandview and terri-
tory to the east and south
have had three inches of rain,
the region to the north and
west has had a much less a-
mount. But all farm work
has been suspended, cotton
pickers are thronging the
streets and farmers are rath-
er gloomy. I have talked to
several large cotton farmers
and all say that probably
one half of the crop is still in
the field. Weather is clearing
today, (Wednesday) after a
cool night of 43 degrees.
We regret to learn of the
loss of the fine farm home of
Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Sanders
by fire on Friday last. This
loss occurred during the elec-
trical storm and lightning is
given as the cause of the
blaze. No one was at home at
the time and house and con-
tents were a total loss.
Well, the Zebras have won
the second conference game
by trouncing Midlothian last
Friday. Score 27-6. No game
this week, and next week they
will take on Joshua. Good
luck boys, may you win.
Don’t suppose you missed
wife and I on‘Saturday and
Sunday, but we visited Mrs.
Ed Brown at Baylor hospital
on Saturday and on Sunday
attended the First Baptist
Church in. Dallas. You will
remember the Brown’s a s
being former Grandview citi-
zens, Mr. Brown was the first
engineer at the Gulf Pump
Station.
Saturday, October 29, will
be observed as Cemetery Tag
Day in Grandview. So, when
you are solicited by a volun-
teer worker on tiffs day, dig
deep and make a substantial
contributions to one of the
most worthy of all civic pro-
jects, “a well kept resting
place” for our departed loved
ones and friends.

Everyone was much sur-

football played on not only
muddy, but soggy field last
Friday night. There were
very few fumbles by either
team, despite the mud.
The kickoff got under way

a few plays had been run
when Hill of the Zebras gain-
ed an opening and ran 25
yards for the first score of
the game. Hall’s try for point
