Briefly Told

The Marlin Rotary Club will meet at the Hilton Hotel at 12:10 p.m. Friday.

J. Lee Harlan and family are now occupying their new recently completed on Chilton street.

There are 1,750 bales of old cotton on storage in the Marlin compress, some of which has been held two years.

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Patterson have returned from a trip to Galveston and other South Texas points, visiting several florists on their trip.

Eugene Fowler Graves, Jr., of Lorena is a candidate for the degree of bachelor of business administration at August commencement exercises of the University of Texas.

Louis Le Sassier, Jr., injured in an automobile accident several weeks ago, was moved to his Wednesday afternoon from a Marlin hospital where he has been under treatment.

Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Ingrum have as their guests their daughters, Mrs. D. L. Landrum and two children, Lawrence and Sue Ann, of Navasota, and Mrs. J. B. Laws and daughter, Marjrorie (sic), of Lufkin; also Mr. F. E. Sternberger and children, Ann and Robert, of Palestine.

A. Eckert, of Perry, who was in Marlin today said that no one knows what cotton is going to do.  Because it is low today does not mean it will stay low.  I've seen it change too often.  July and August forecasts are not worth much in determining what the crop or the price is going to be in the fall."

Due to his plane being disabled, Reg Robbins, once holder of the refueling flight record and more recentllly (sic) attempting a flight to Tokyo, advised friends he was unable to accept an invitation to come to Marlin from Fort Wordh Wednesday extended by Capt. W. K. Gray and J. J. Price of Lake Charles, La., who is visiting here.
