j Nice Vacation Trip
Mrs. C. E. Johnson returned

trip of about two weeks and was
accompanied by her daughter,
Mrs. Jarrell Davis of Wichita Falls
and her husband and their daugh-j
ter. Elisa. The trip was made in
Mrs. Johnson's new car. and this
shiny new car came out of the
round somewhat the worse for
wear. At Las Vegas. Nevada, the
car was parked on the curb, in ac- j
cordance with traffic regulations, j
when it was hit on the side by an-,
other car. And that car was in col- j
lision with a third one, which had
run into it. After a few hours in a
body shop, the doors could be!
closed, and the trip could be made J
home. There was insurance to!
cover the damage.
Leaving Seymour, the vacation- j
ists turn south to Abilene, where
members of the family were visit-'
ed. From there they Went on to El!
Paso, and went from there into
Juarez. Then on to Tucson and
Phoenix and to the ill-fated Las
Vegas. Afterwards Boulder City j
and the Hoover Dam were visited, j
which are only 20 miles from Las
Vegas. Then down to Flagstaff,
and on for a 150 mile circle which
led back to that place. On this
route the Grand Canyon can be
seen in its greatest grandeur.
From Gallup to Albuquerque to
Lubbock and on home. It was a
trip covering about 3,000 miles,
and gave the opportunity of seeing
a great many interesting things
and places. Everywhere the cli-
mate was cool, and it had even
rained in Arizona.

LETTER FROM GILLILANND
Dear Sirs:
Please find check for another
year's subscription for the Ban-
ner. We've had two inches of rain,
I which will keep the cotton coming
along for a while. If we get a
rain in August it will make cotton.
It won t be long till cool nights
an won't need rain.
Our peopple need a cotton crop.
The wheat was prettty short, and
we need something to use for
money. The heavy rain in the West
makes it look like the drouth was
breaking. I have just looked at
the 30-day weather map, and it
shows plenty of rain in most
places. I think it will catch us.
Hope so at least.
I enjoyed the Old Settlers meet-
ing very much and hope to see sev-
eral more. The old ones keep drop-
ping off till I don't know too many
now. This is my 76th year in Bay-
lor and Knox Counties, That's a
life time for most people. In the
old days we didn't have any
money, but we had plenty of time.
Could go anywhere we wanted to.
Now it is a grand rush. We don't
have time to take a nap after din-
ner.
Wishing you all the good things
that come to people here. I am
your friend,
Felix Propps.
