Last Sunday afternoon we drove
past the F. J. Dalby residence and
Mr. Dalby was sitting on the porch
with half of a large water melon
in his lap, and he was really work-
ing it over. We asked him if he
needed any help, and he said he
was getting along alright.
Mr. Dalby says the hardest
thing for him to do is to sit ar-
ound and not work. He has been
used to a life of work and activity,
and says it gets awful dull with
not a thing to eirtploy his timc^

Mrs. J. D, Gholson
Is Honored With
Gift Shower
v
You know you can snoop around
and find out tilings about people
that they would not have to get
out on them.
The other day we were talking
to a fellow, and when he found
out" where we were from, he
wanted to know 'if we knew Her-_
man Shadlc? We admitted that
we did.
Then he told us about a time a
number of years ago when Shadle
and two other fellows were work-
ing on a house. i hey were seal-
ing two rooms over head wit J) s'hi;p
lap. The rooms were the same
size. Herman went to work on one
room and the other two fellows on
the other. When Shadle finished
and walked into the room where
the other .fellows were they still
needed to put on two boards to he
finished.
Are you the type of person who
like to 'be accomodating, and help
others, when it will not cost you
any, if much more effort?
Well, we will give you a tip.
You can help us a lot, and it will
cost you no extra effort either.
When you have news to report,
just start a bit earlier, and get it
to vis on Tuesday. I hat will help
us to get out a better paper, with
much more regularity.
Remember, get your items of
•news in on Monday or 1 uesday.
We will appreciate it a lot.
Mrs. J. f). Gholson, a recent
bride, who is the former Mildred
West, was complimented with a
gift tea hosted by Mrs. Harold
Kenady, Mrs. Lee Gardner, Mrs.
Clarence Mays, Mrs. Garrett
Mec,ht, Mrs. Jack Chambless, Mm
Jack Ro.bbills, and Miss VcrdaRac
Graham at Hotel Stonewall Aug-
ust 19, 4 to 6 p- m-
Guests were greeted by Mrs
Chambl&s and Mrs Kenady, who
in turn presented the honoree The
gifts were then displayed by Mrs.
Heeht and Miss Grah.am.
The room was decorated with
garden bouquets of ze'nnias, mari-
golds, and bachelor buttons.. Cake
and punch from a cyrstal service
was served by Mrs. Robbins and
M is. Mays. Favors and napkins
read ''Mildred and J. D. the per-
fect match.'
Mrs. Gardner registered a large
number of guests in the bride's
hook.
Well, the J'ports scribes, who
have had nothing much to wtite
about the past few months can go
to work again# Football season
is here again.
Prospects are that Aspermont
will have a ibetter than average
team this year.
We are still strong for a clean
uj; campaign for Aspermont. No-
thing may be do"e about the city
wide clean up (it looks that way
to us) but at least we can each
individually clean up our premises
and have them look presentable.
Did you ever notice when pass-
ing through a strange town, how
you are impressed with one that is
clean and neat? It makes you
thi"k that town is occupied by nice
clean, progressive people.
But when you enter a town and
the streets arc dirty and filthy,
the vacant lots covered with weeds
nothing painted, you just want to
Step on the gas and get away. You
have no desire to even meet the
people. You just get the idea if
you did approach one of its cit.iz.ens
he would meet you with a frown.

For Sheriff, Assessor - Collector
Warren W. brazier
Arthur E. Brown^
And remember, the thing for
ui t ) do is to VOTE.
Saturday is the day to vote m
the second democratic primary.
There is only one. county race,
rhat for Sheriff, and Assessor and
Collector of Taxes. Out of a five
man ticket in the first primary,
Warren W. Fa/.icr led the ticket,
followed by Arthur E. Brown.
Also are three, state and district
races.
Every qualified voter m Stone-
wall County should go vote. is
a duty - it is :> privilege.
Brooks Fllison says every time
he thinks about voting the Rcjmfc.
jlican ticket this fall, he thinks w#
all the jack rabbits he had to eat
hack under the Hoovct acinnnistra-
Wc hear pct'ple now days re-
ferring to different ones as a New
Dealer, and the reflection is that
such a person is tlve same as a
traitor. What we want to know is
since when has it become such all
awful thing to be a New Dealer?
We cast three ballots for the
New Deal or FDR, and the only
reason we missed one is that we
were not old enough to vote the
first time FDR ran
Where are all these anti New
Dealers in Texas coming from any
way, and where do they get tlve
idea that because a man still likes
the things inaugurated b\ Franklin
I). Roosevelt, the greatest president
our nation ever had, that he is
a near traitor to the cause?
We surely didn't like all the
things that were done under the
head of the New Deal, but where
\iouhl our nation have been today
had we remaind under the Old
Republican Deal? We would
have long been trampled under the
Nazi heel, that: is where we would
be.
We have hern informed that the
Peacock and Alexandei Construc-
tion Company has been building a
ix w red barn at the Peacock ranch
but that operations have been halt-
ed due to hot weather.
