LONDON LOCALS (By G. LEWIS) Hard times is still the talk, and I dare say it is Truthful Talk, too, but when we compare Kimble County and the Hill Country with other sections, we find we are very favorably sit uated. Take for illustration the five Northwestern States, Mon tana, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, where the Jumbo grass hopper has swooped down from no one knows where—not even the scientist can tell where they originated. But they have cov ered that vast territory and lit erally cleaned it of its vegeta tion. It is estimated that an area of 46,875 square miles is literally swept by this pest. Nothing green is left in their path. The comparison leaves Old Kimble and the surrounding ter ritory sitting on top of the world, so to speak. Let’s quit talking Hard Times and rejoice that everything is as well with us as it is. We have an abund ance to eat, plenty for our live stock to eat, we have good health, the finest climate and the most wonderful scenery to be found anywhere ;let us raise our hearts in Thankful Praise to Him who Ruleth Well. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. French Cummins will be glad to know that they are again at home after quite a stay at the Brady Sanitarium, where French underwent an operation for appendicitis. He is doing well , will soon be back on the JOD. I had the pleasure of seeing a picture of our old neighbor, J. A Harris, who usually spend his vacation with friends at London. He and his wife are spending this summer fishing in Wisconsin, and having a grand time. This writer received a most pleasant message last week from Mrs. Jodie Smitherman, formal ly Miss Hazel Emma Herbst. The message was sent by letter to Mrs. T. A. Chandler, a sister of Mrs. Smitherman, and the mes sage read thus: “Tell Mr. Lewis that I am the mother of a new born babe, and my happiness is complete.” Yes, the happiness of a true woman is complete when she looks on the face and form of her first born babe. May God bless Hazel Emma and her new born babe, may His hand rest kindly upon her husband and may that home ever be a happy home. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Brewer and little Monk were guests at the Jones ranch a few days last week. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Jones brought them home Saturday. Mr. R. D. Rothmann and sis ter, Miss Lorie, returned home Saturday from Baylor Universi ty, where they have attended school this summer. They ath speak highly of Baylor and ex pressed satisfaction with their summer work. A. D. made high grades in all his subjects. Mrs. Ellis Brown was in town Saturday. _ Mr. O. D. Price has been do ing some cabinet work for the school property this week. Vaccination of livestock for prevention of charbon is just about completed. Mr. C. Weaver and Mr. W. L. Rothmann have been very busy for two weeks or more at this work. Mr. Richardson of Cleburne, who married a London girl, Miss Eliza Nelson, was in town Satur day. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Thiers of Roosevelt were visiting relatives and friends here Saturday. They brought Mrs. Thiers’ sister, Miss Melba Watton, home. Meba says she had a real nice time while on her vacation. T. B. Pearl and A. S. Adams made a trip to Roosevelt Friday to attend the bedside of their uncle, Pumpkin Adams, who is quite ill. A good rain just now is one of our strongest desires.
