The statement that "there's nothing so dead as yesterday's newspaper" fails to hold true at the end of each year. The galaxy of events occurring in Dallas during a twelve-months' period not only gives a birdseye view of every-day human drama in the marking, but also goes to make up what, in future years, may be entered in the "History of the South's Greatest Metropolis--Dallas."
