Siillivcn said "I remember Denton when It hud no Court House; 1 remember when the first one was built which was b.icr replaced by the present structure. Denton has continued its through the years I have krowu it, and I know It will continue to develop." CJavk nnd Sullivan born in Denton in 1870. "We would like to sec tralllc laws enforced," said a Denton woman Thursday. "There Is an ordinance which prohibits parking of driverless cars away from the curb, but not infrequently have I come out of a store in a hurry to drive away liom the curb where I have properly parked, to find the way.

blocked by a car or truck and no one around I could ask to move the machine. This is done, I must say, more frequently by out of town trucks, bread trucks, produce vans and the like. Recently after waiting for some time for a truck to move, out of the way I went in search of the driver-, and after Inquiries I found him calmly eating his lunch in a cafe. 'I thought cars parked there were there for all day, and I could find no other parking was his only excuse." What effect win if" change of the moon have 01. 'h? weather?

"Oh, gee, I hope my.wife docs not find this out," ssld a well known young lawyer of Denton, as he pull- rd a letter from' his pocket, saying "I've just carried thnt letter for two to mull it." "You fellows talk a let about the importance of terracing." said a well to do tenant farmer. "We tenants who have the "ood of our country nt heart endorse what you have to say but wo are ir. a predicament about the matter. According to our way of thinking it is the duty of the land lord to build the terraces. Then it is the duty of the tenant to keep the terraces up.

We know that the land needs the terraces but many if not most land lords cither do not care or think that they can force the tenant to build the terraces. It is the land lord's duty to build the terrace. Then if the tenant does not keep them up-he should lose his farm. In my case if I had terraces I v.xuld keep them up and try to them better every year. I have been on the farm where I am for several year? and unless something is done about terracing I will have to move in a few years because the soi! will be so washed that it will not pay for the labor in cultivating.

Wish you fellows would talk to tne land lords and get them to thlr.Mng about what some rea! terracing means to them. "A rain would be very popular with us folks over cart of Denton." said Eli Gairmon of Salt Branch community. "Howcv? am going to have ripe c'ickle bu.s right away even If it lias not ra.n"d."
