Election Scandal
Bond Bounces Back
The forfeited bond of Jimmie
Johnston, who was convicted of
altering ballots in the 1936 elec-
tion scandal, was returned today
without execution to the Criminal
District Clerk's office.
Sheriff A. B. Carter reported
that he could find no property
subject to execution against the
signers, W. P. McGlothlin, Joe B.
Wills, J. T. Steadham and L. S.
Lane.
Mr. McGlothlin, a former jailer,
told Deputy Sheriff W. W. Over-
ton that he had disposed of all
his property. ’The $3000 bond
freed Johnston after he was given
a three-year sentence by a Crim-
inal District Court jury on Jan.
12, 1937.

MEN LOVE PEW
GIRLS WITH PEP
If you are peppy and full of fun, men will
invite you to dances and parties,
BUT if you are cross, listless and tired,
men won t be interested. Men don't like
“quet” girls. When they go to parties they
want girls along who are full of pep.
. So in case you need a good general system
tonic, remember for 3 generations one
woman has told another how to go “smiling
thru’ with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. helps build up more physical
resistance and thus aids in giving you more
pep and lessens distress from female func-
