Erath County Will Get
Two New School Bldgs.
Last week the trustees of the
Lingleville Independent school dis-
trict received bids for the erection
of the new school building and
when the final returns were in Mr.
Stephens of Dublin was awarded
the contract, contract price being
$14,485. This will insure that the
work will be started immediately
and that the building will be
finished as quickly as possible.
Several contractors from over the
state were bidders on the Lingle-
ville job.
Saturday the trustees of the
Huckabay school will meet to let
the contract for their new build-
ing. Just how much money this
school has available for building
purposes is not known, but it is
safe to say that the people of that
enterprising community will see
to it that they get the very best
they can possibly build.
With these two new schools be-
ing built over the county a fine ex-
ample will be exemplified before
other schools over the county and
before many years pass by it is
hoped that every school in the
county will have a building large
enough to take care of all the stu-
dents and at the same time have
sufficient funds to operate a good
nine months school. The schools
of the county are certainly entitl-
ed to all the support they can get.
Miss Maggie Barton, who has a
splendid position as stenographer
for a prominent firm in Lubbock,
is visiting friends in this city this

sided in Stephenville and is* well
known here. Her father, J. L. Bar-
ton, bought the V. M. Cox farm
south of town where the family
made their home for several years
before moving west. Their friends
will be glad to know they are do-
ing well in their-western home.
During the absence of Lee Will-
iams, advertising manager at Hig-
ginbotham’s, Ned Davis has the
job in hand. From the prompt
way he handed in his copy and the
well arranged wording the Tri-
bune must congratulate the hand-
some young man. Mr. Williams
will probably have this work hand-
led regularly by Mr! Davis here-
after, especially^ during the hot
summer days that will follow.

was the cause for several subscrib-

are few. If subscribers will notify
this office by phone or post card
when their paper fails to come the
correction will be made at once.
