ideals of the conununity,
Aa are the school and the school
house, so ivill be the home, the city,
State and the Nation. For every
community the motto should be; “For
our schools, health, comfort and
beauty."

MR. E. M. LONG WITH CITY DRUG
COMPANY.
Mr. E. M. Long, who for the past
several years was connected with the
Hico Milling Co., and previous! to
that was a successful merchant in the
county, has taken an interest in the
City Drug Co., and can now be found
at that place serving customers in
their drag wa)>is. The drug business
is « new line to Mr. Long, but he be;
ing a versatils citizen, is fast adapting
himself to his surroundings aud now
seems as much at heme as if he had
grown there. With his iiddition to the
business, it is expected that the con
cern will grow even faster than «
has in the past.
