With your permission I will
give you a few dots from the
capital of Burleson county. The
holidays passed off pleasantly
and quietly. There was a mark-
ed absence of fights, altthough

in demand for the moral influ-
ence they exert over the boys.
We had a fine Christmas tree
at the courthouse under the
