some ten pounds) while others
carried cans, buckets, and boxes
ind paraded from there to the
parsonage, broke in the back
door and left the pounds. The
Preacher and wife were absent
but when they returned so much
pounding was such a shock that
they received quite a jar. We
are glad to say that every pound,
pint and ounce is a token of love
from the giver and we welcome
them in our midst.—Contributed

Sarah T. Hughes
For Representative
Sarah T. Hughes candidate for
State Representative, Place No.
3, spoke in Carrollton, Saturday,
August 16th. She declared the
most vital issue in the campaign
was the necessity of taking the
extravagance out of government.
‘The cost of government,” she
said “has increased forty times
during the last 35 years until in
1928 the Legislature appropriat-
ed the stupendous sum of $84,-
000,000 00 to run the State gov-
ernment. The rapid increase in
the cost of government means a
corresponding increase in the
burden of taxation on the people
and if taxes continue to increase
during the next 25 years as they
have in the past 25 years it will
mean nothing more nor less than
governmental suicide.
Mrs. Hughes has carried on a
vigorous campaign in every part
of the county, always empha-
sizing the necessity for economy
in government, a redistribution
of taxes to relieve the farmer
and small home owner and re-
form in criminal proceedure to
speed up trials.
With regard to race track
gambling and prohibition, issues
raised by her opponent, Mrs.
Hughes has stated, "there are
laws on our statute books, which
prohibit race track gambling
and which should insure prohi-
bition. I favor the strict enforce-
ment of these laws.”
Mrs. Hughes also stated she
wished to thank the people of
Carrollton for the splendid vote
she received in the first primary.
Out of a field of five Mrs. Hughes
led, beating her nearest oppo*
uent by 20 votes.

Prices Reduced on Cheirotets
Detroit. Mich., Aug. 21-
Price reductions of $40 on all
sport models in the Chevrolet
Six passenger car line were an-
nounced here today by H. J.
Klingler, vice-president and
general sales manager of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
The models affected are the
Sport Roadster, which is now
priced at $515; the Sport Cou-
pe, reduced to $615; the Club
Sedan, now $685. All models for-
merly were priced $40 higher.
This latest move of the com-
pany brings the price range of
the Chevrolet Six to less than
the range of the four cylinder
Chevrolet at the time of the
changeover at the close of 1928.
At that time the four was priced
from $495 to $715, while the
niue different passenger models
in the six cylinder line today
range from $495 to only $685,
following this latest reduction.
The move of the company
comes directly after the an-
nouncement that wire wheels
may now lie had as optional
equipment without extra cost
on any Chevrolet Six passenger
car.
