Sol Williams and wife stopped off
here today en route to South Texas
points from Salt Lake City. Mr.
Williams, since leaving Wichita Falls
in the spring,. 4has been handling a
real estajte proposition at Salt Lake.

A. P. Cole, formerly manager for
the Republic SupplyCompany here
is in town. Mr. Col$ is now located

and he says that the oil fields of that
state are very quiet.
Geo. Ancel and family-are in Wichi-
ta Falls today They went the Ford
route this morning.
perfect silence.
A doctor can use a word a yard
long without him or anybody else
knowing what it means; but if the ed-
itor uses one he has to spell it. If
the doctor goes to see another man’s
wife he charges for the visit; but if
the editor goes to see another man’s
wife he gets a charge of buckshot.
“When a doctor'gets drunk it is a
case of being overdone by the ’heat
and. if he die's it is from heart trouble;
when the editor gets drunk it is a
case of too much booze and if he dies
it’s the jim-jams. Any old college
can make a doctor: an editor is born.”
