This highway under their supervision
is being kept in a very good shape,

from time to time. And if work on

Oldest inhabitant, being close to nine-
ty-five years of age, and has a re-
markable memory that dates back to
many an interesting event. As a
young man he entered the service of
the Confederate army as a volunteer,
but-to this good day has never accept-
ed a pension for hia service, modestly
feeling too patriotic to accept any aid
from his State. At the age of 86 Mr.
Olson, while coming to town one af-
ternoon, in crossing Meridian Creek,
was caught in high water, washed
down the stream, was tangled in
barbed wire and suffered several
hours of exposure in cold and rising
water, but recovered without any
lasting injury. Until last year Mr.
Olson was able to make two trips to
town a day, for his mail, and until
jhen, signed his checks without
glasses. We all wish Mr. Olson a

warm reception from the DuWin peo-

getting by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. And because this
road does not parallel with any other
road, and because it will serve a ter-
ritory in need of a railroad, the possi-
bility of a permit is still greater. In
a conference with Mr. R. Q. Lee of
Cisco, president of the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce, and railroad
owner, who because of another en-
gagement came too late to attend the
regular meeting, we were assured of
a warm support.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wells, of the
Apollo Duo, will be remembered as
the leaders of the Apollo Concert
Company, which they piloted for 18
years across this country, Canada and
Australia. Arthur Wells, with his 300
pounds of fine fun and music, and his
charming wife, Alta R. Wells, m their
dup work again this season offer the
very best features from the Old Apol-
lo Concert Company. They will ap-
pear here on Oct. 29 in the evening
at the college auditorium.
Mr. Wells, or "Art,” as he is pop-
ularly known, is an accomplished
musician in many lines. He is an ar-
tist of first rank on the banjo, on the
saxophone .and the bassoon. He is an
inimitable story teller, both in dia-
lect and more serious readings.
Alta R. Wells is a gifted and gra-
cious artist on the piano and saxo-
phone, also featuring vocal work and
pianologues. Her contralto voice it
greatly, enjoyed. She is an accompa-
nist of ability, and her musical at-
tainments added to those of her hus-
band, provide an evening of rare
treats.
There is an air of professionalism
in the program of the Apollo Duo,
which, coupled with the splendid per-
sonalities of these two well-known
artists, makes their program tremen-
dously popular with their hearers.
Clever musical sketches, in which
they both take part, are noted on the
program and their duets on the sax-
ophone are excellent.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Terrell left
last Thursday for Port Arthur to
make their home.

P. T. A. PERFORMANCE A
BRILLIANT SUCCESS
The play, "Miss Fearless and Com-
pany” rendered by the ladies of the
Parent-Teacher Association last Fri-
day evening was a pronounced suc-
«ess from every view-point.
The unusual feature of this enter-
tainment was that most of the char-
acters were ladies who have children
in school.
Whatever these ladies may have
forgotten of school work, one thing
is certain, they have not lost the art
of portraying character to perfection.
There was not a dull moment from
the beginning of the first act to the
close, and at times the applause was
hilarious.
Not only does the Association feel
well repaid by the neat sum of money
realized, but all who attended are
loud in their praise of the histrionic
talent of each individual character.
Mr. and Mrs. D. A. lzel! are the
parents of a fin* ton, born Sunday,
October 18th.
No doubt a man might get fully
as much exercise by wielding a
hoe as he could from swinging a
golf club—but it isn’t half so much
fun to some men.
The man who spends all he
makes may be as hard a worker as
the one who has a growing account
at the bank. It isn t so much what
one makes as what is saved that
counts. Industry is a virtue but so
is Thrift. Have a definite program.
Start an account at our Bank and
profit by your labor.
