To the Editor of the Mineola
Monitor:
Dear Sir:
Will you kindly publish the
attached and thereby oblige,
Yours very truly,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
Mineola, Klan, No. 96.
The Ku Klux Klan still lives,
because it was not born to die.
It has been maligned by the
prejudiced and misrepresented
by the ignorant. It has been de-
nounced by the vicious who
naturally seek its destruction.
Some misguided good citizens

following interesting communi-

ral Agent M. H. Vandiver:
Quitman, Texas, Jan. 9, 1922
The New Year is here; shall
we make it a blessing to our-
selves and families? If so we
must dispense of unproductive
toil. I think that labor is a very
close approach to a curse when
a n aii works with no heart in
his work, and no sense of the
worth of it. 1 believe in inven-
tions to lift a portion of the
load which rests on the should-
ers of human labor, but on the
other hand I do not believe in
slack, indolent labor, whether
the man loafs on the job delib-
erately, or lapses into the hab-
it of in dolent and uninterested
toil, the effect upon him is as
bad as it is upon his workman-
ship.,

Publicity in the larger daily papers of Te:;as concerning the
oil prospects in this immediate vicinity is plac ng Mineola,before
uie people of the world as never before. And while all this
publicity, the city is gaining a reputation for being a convention
city.
During this week three conventions of especial interest to
North-East Texas will be held. On next Monday and Tuesday
Uie district agricultural agents will meet here. Then on Jan-
uary 24th, a meeting of the Jim Hogg Highway Association of
Texas will be held and following this on January 30th, comes
the meeting of representatives from the ribbon cane growing
icunties to the North-East Texas Ribbon Care Growers Assoc-
iation. Indications are that the three conventions will be well
attended.
Curtis Handcock and Harry Simmons el th i Automobile Club
Texas have completed the task of logging the Jim Hogg High-
way from Clarksville tc Galveston. They report great interest
through the section of Texas traversed by the highway. Indi-
cations are that practically all the towns along the route will
send delegates to the meeting. T8he object of the organization
is t opush the completion of the highway so thjjt Northern Tour-
ists will have a more direct route to the Gulf after entering Tex-
as at Clarksville or Texarkana.
Dr. A. P. Buchanan of Mineola and J. W, Smart also of
