to Stephenvllle.
Mrs. Reagan also announced that
it was not necessary to have old
drivers' licenses renewed unless the
individual is planning a trip out
of the state. In that oaae ft would
be advisable to have your license
renewed. Issuing of new drivers'
licenses and renewing old ones has
been in charge of the two highway
patrolmen who visit Stephenvllle on
each Wednesday*afternoon between
the hours of 3 and 4. They may be
located at the sheriff's offiee on the

Three oolor license tags advertis-

These plates will be sold at coat,
which Is twenty-five cents each, to
any Dublin citizen.
"We feel that every car owner in
Dublin should do his part and help
advertise Dublin as the logical mar-
ket to farm produce. These color-
ful and attractive signs continuous-
ly call attention to our little city,
and it is noteworthy that several
surrounding cities have bought sim-
ilar plates since ours were received,"
Cowan stated.
The tags may be purchased from

QUESTION OF CHANGE IN DIVISION OF
LATERAL ROAD MONEY RECEIVED
FAVORABLY BY FARMERS
OF ALL OF COUNTY
Emmett Moon, well-known Erath
county man and Stephenvllle citi-
zen, was recommended for the post-
maatership at Stephenvllle last week
by Congressman Clyde L. Garrett
L. W. Phillips is the out-going post-
master.
Mr. Moon is known over the en-
tire county by many friends who
were glad to know that he is get-
ting this Important office. He re-
sided in Dublin while the CCC camp
was here and has served as county
school superintendent in 1934, He
has a iso taught in many of the ru-
ral schools of the county. A recom-
mendation from the Congressman
is tantamount to an appointment
Just when Moon will take over
the duties of the office is not known
but it is generally believed that as
quickly as Senate confirmation is
secured on Moon's endorsement by
Garrett and other details in connec-
tion with the change of this kind
are worked out that the tenure of
Phillip* will cease Ordinarily three
or four weeks are required for these
regulations to be concluded.
