Belton Regrets
Losing Vining as
Baptist Minister
Belton, Jan. 21.—The members of
the First Baptist church of this city,
through a committee consisting of Dr.
J. M. Frazier, J. R. Donnell and R.
M. Butler, have formally expressed
their regrets over the resignation of
Rev. B. W. Vining, who for the past
16 months has been pastor of the First
Baptist church here.
The following concerning his leav-
ing was given out by the committee:
"During the 16 months of the pas-
torate of Rev. Mr. Vining he has done
a notable work in the church, the
community and the denomination at
large In this section. Under his lead-
ership the church has been greatly
blessed. He has preached the gospel
simply, clearly and effectively, and
through his ministry many new mem-
bers have been added to our number.
He has systematized and stimulated
all the organizations of the church.
We would especially express our grati-
tude for the fact that he lias led us
In the determination to build a new
hottso of worship, for which plans al-
ready have b en made and a lot se-
lected, which will fill a long-felt need.
"Brother Vining has taken a promi-
nent part in the social and civic life
of our city, standing always on the
side of right and progress. And not
only In our own church, but through
out this district, his Influence has been
felt in the strengthening of all forms
of denominational activity.
"In his departure we suffer a dis-
tinct loss: but in giving liim up Tor a
larger field of service, we wish to ex
press our deep Interest and abiding
affection for him and his family, and
wherever his lot may be cast we pray
God's richest blessings upon iilm and
his work."

Baylor College
To Debate C.I. A.
Early in Spring
Belton, Jan. 21.—Baylor college will
have at least one inter-colleglate de-
bate this year and probably will com-
bat for forensic honors with two oth-
er institutions. Yesterday a contract
was closed with the College of Indus-
trial Arts at Denton whereby the Bel-
ton institution will meet the North
Texas college In debate in the early
spring. Miss Ruth Beth Watts of that
school was here yesterday and closed
the contract with representatives of
Baylor college.
An effort is being made to have a
triangular debate with the College of
Industrial Arts and Baylor college
participating and Professor Vann,
head of the English department of
Baylor, will go to Ft. Worth Monday
to take up negotiations witli Texas
Woman's college with reference to
getting that institution to go in on the
contract.

assessment of poll taxes of the wives
of husbands making their renditions
and cited the law as passed by the
fourth called session of the thirty-
sixth legislature to Mr. Gilmer.
Mr. Gilmer further said, with refer-
ence to the matter:
"It is not a matter that I can pass
unnoticed, and have instructed the
deputies to look closely after poll tax,
explaining carefully to those who ob-
ject to rendering for the wife, report-
ing all who refuse to render for wife,
I wish that this was an optional mat-
ter, those only rendering who wish to
vote, but it is not, and I can't change
it. Also I am asking that you give the
deputies your rendition when they call
on you for It. The assessing of the
county Is quite an item, and you can
help us so much by giving your rendi-
tion when called on. In case you
might be away from home when the
assessor calls, I suggest that you talk
over your tax values with your wife
so that she can render in your ab-
sence."

Wives Will Have
To Pay Poll Taxes
Same as Husbands
Belton, Jan. 21.—There has been
considerable complaint on the part of
taxpayers of the county over«(h > hus-
band being compelled to render the
poll taxes of his wife in making his
other tax renditions, according to Tax
Collector W. A. Gilmer.
In instructing his deputies to In-
clude the poll taxes of the wives in
their tax renditions, Mr. Gilmer said
he is only complying with th elaw, and
recently had a letter from the comp-
troller's department at Austin wrilcli
informed him that the attorney gen-
eral's department of the state had
ruled that it was the duty of the tax
assessors of the state to Include the
Jake Miller for
Public Weigher
Of Precinct 1
i
Belton, Jan. 21.—The Telegram is I
authorized to announce Jake Miller
for the office of public weigher pre-
cinct NO. 1, subject to the action of
the democratic primaries July 22.
Mr. Miller needs no introduction to
the voters of the precinct, as he is the
son of the late Win, Miller and has
spent most of his life on a farm in
the Three Forks community. Mr.
Miller for the past several years has
been a progressive farmer near Three
Forks until recently when he rented
out his farm and moved his family to
Belton to take advantage of the city
schools.
He is honest and capable and If
elected will make a good officer. Give
his claims due consideration.
