Letters to Editor
El Paso, Tex.
Editor:
It just came to my mind that
Dr. J. P. Brown has lived in O'
Neill and has faithfully served
the people for very nearly 25
years. Thought you might like
tc write it up for your paper.
I think it would be nice if the
town of O’Neill could plan some
thing special in honor of such a
good doctor, but I have no sug
gestions to make along that line.
Yours truly,
CECIL SPRY
