The musical comedy presented
Thursday evening at the school audi-
torium by George Cason under the
auspices of Circle D of the Methodist
church, proved delightful entertain,
ment to all in attendance. It was a
clever presentaton with a splendid
cast and chorus groups. Each person
taking part filled his or her role well.
Many fine comments have been
made on the splendid chorus work as
it was exceptionally good. The groups

much to the evening’s entertainment.
Mr. Cason proved a most capable di-

MAVABOTA. TEXAS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1932
BANNING SCHOOL HELD IN
ANDERSON, ONE OF BEST IN STATE
ed from Pianter*-
that the Planters-
ville F*«d Star* wax entered Wednes-
day hight and robbed of about $10.00
worth of cigar* and cigarettes and $20
in cash. An attempt wa* made to
rob the.*** pump* but the robbers
being unsuccessful went on their way.
They evidently headed toward Stone-
ham as th* lock on th* gas pump at
Frank West’* etore was broken and
seven gallon* of gas taken.
Entrance was made into the Feed
Store by prizing open the front doors.
Cigarettes and cigars were scattered
about the floor as the robbers made
their getaway.
Another robbery was reported from
Plantersville today. The report stat-
ed that Mrs. T. J. Tucker’s store was
entered last night. The persons enter-
ing the store did so by prizing the
rear doors open. The cash register
was broken into but no money was
found. The knob was knocked off of
the safe but the door was found clos-
ed this morning and as finger print
experts are to examine the door, the
safe was not looked into to see what
was taken.
Mrs. Tucker states that nothing is
missing from the store that
knows of.
District Judge S. W. Dean of Nava,
sota to whom decision has been left
in the Leon county election contest,
, 'stated today that he has been prepar-
ed to make the decision on the nomi-
nation of the Leon county sheriff sin-
ce the early part of the week but is
now awaiting the action of the Su-
preme Court. Abb Seale who has con-
tested the election, was in the city to-
day conferring with Judge Dean on
the case.
The State Supreme Court had un-
der advisement today a request of Les
Thomason for an order that District
Jurge S. W. Dean be required to dis-
miss as moot an election contest over
the Democratic nomination for sheriff
in Leon country.
Thomason was declared the nomi-
nee by 25 votes. As there is no. other
party ticket in the county, the nomina-
tion is equivalent to election, the Su-
preme court was told.
Seale claimed that 1558 poll taxes in
the county were paid for after Jan.
31, the final statute day. It was also
asserted that with 2700 qualified white |
voters that there ■ were 3467 ballots
cast.
It developed in statements to the
court that the late payment of poll
taxes was due to acceptance of checks
later honored by banks and that many
persons who were first declared dis-
qualified exhibited their checks to
show they were tendered before Jan.
31
The recent decision of the court in
the contest filed by Gov. Ross S. Ster-
ling against the nomination of Mrs.
Ferguson was cited as authority tor
declaring the Leon county contest
moot.

Mrs. Jesse Garvin, postmistress,
asks that eevryone listen for the post-
man’s whistle as he m*k«s bis rounds
each day. Parcel post packages can
not be left on the front porch where
they can easily be stolen and as the
front door is locked at many homes
and persons ( are not at- home
when deliveries are made, th* post-
man will not leave the package. In-
stead he will leave a notice in the mail
box and if the package Is not called
for that day he will deliver -it the
next day.
If persons will make It a point to
listen for th* whistle each morning
there will be no necessity of the post-
man making a second delivery or the
person th whom the package is sent,
calling for it at the office.

Fort Worth. Oct. 14 (UP) — Death
of Dusty, German police dog, was
avenged today.
His attacker, E. M. Langford, was
fined $10 in a justice of peace court
here after a jury found him guilty on
a charge of killing a dog with intent
to injure its owner.
Dusty came to an untimely
Sept. 24 shortly after a raid on Lang-
ford's chickens. Testimony revealed he
was killed in the yard of his owner,
Earl B. Taylor.
Prosecuting attorneys divided pros-
pective jurors in two classes, dog lov-
ers and,dog haters. C. W- Hukill was
not accepted for jury duty because he
admitted he got up at nights to throw
stones at hounds, that howled him
into wakefulness.
Judge Walter Prichard ruled no
witness should defame Dusty's Chirac
ter, for there Aras none present to de-
fend the dog’s reputation. Attorneys,
also questioned defense witnesses
closely as to whether Langford’s
chicken was dead, cold dead, or stiff
dead when found.
Lou Don Sewell, 12, testified that
Longford came on the Taylor lawn
"with a shotgun in one hand and a
chicken in the other", and told him
to "get away from that dog or I'll ■
kill you too.”
After the jury returned its verdict,
attorneys for Langford announced
they would appeal to county court.
