duction.

There has never been u time when
our people have not appreciated the
necessity for better roads and deplor-
ed the existence of bad road* The
difficulty has been in the indisposition

socialist emblem, carried by Miss
Evans, the flag bearers spoke in such
eloquence for their nation and were
so proficient In the drill it brought
forth unstinted applause of the au-
dience. When the drill ended Unci*

Business School Will Open
Friday, Sept 15th
DRAUGHON’S PRACTICAL BUSINESS COLLEGE
DUBLIN, TEXAS.
DAY SCHOOL and NIGHT SCHOOL
If you have decided to secure a practical training, N 0 W is the time to
begin. Good intentions mean nothing if they are not backed up by decisive
action. The student who is weak in ambition and who is not willing to work
for success is not worthy of it and will never attain it.
DRAUGHON’S DAY SCHOOL will be in session every school day in the week
from 8:30 a. m. until 4 p. m. with intermission for lunch
DRAUGHON’S NIGHT SCHOOL will be in session, (Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday) from 7 to 9:15. Students may begin any school night.
Business College hours should at least approximate business office hours
in order to fit the student for that steady, earnest, punctual work that is ex-
pected and demanded in the business world. All young people who are inter
ested and wish information should call at headquarters in Overton Drug Store,
where enrollments will be received.
Do Not Delay Your Entrance
While you may begin later, there is a decided advantage in
along with those who form the first classes.
