Jacksboro has an exclu-

Fair-the only automobile
dealership to be an exhibitor
is Jacksboro’s own Automo-
tive Autocenter. In addition
to being a new car dealer-
ship, the Autocenter adver-
tises, sells and ships nation-
wide new automobile en-
gines and related compo-
nents. Their exhibit at the
Fair is the display of those
excited about that," says Jim
Holman, General Manager
of Automotive Autocenter.
Holman added, "This is
plus business outside the
local market. Jacksboro is
extremely important to
us...we just want people to
know that we are here to stay
and what we are doing to
stay financially healthy."
The Autocenter is doing just
that...and though not

Kittens Fall
to Aubrey
The 8th Grade Kittens had
a difficult evening in regards
to the several fumbles that
were made by the offense.
However, they did manage to
gain a total of 182 yards. The
stand out play made was a 60
yard run by Michael Pruitt
for a touchdown, followed by
his successful 2 point conver-
sion, for his total yards of 69.
Several other offensive
backs had yardage for the
game being: Frankie White-
32, Stephen Cassle-28, Matt
Hughes-12, Chris Payson-3,
Chris Amburn-2. Hughes
threw the ball 36 yards to
receiver Joey Barbosa, who
made a fine catch. Cassie
then ran the other touch-
down over that made the
Kittens a total of 14 points.
The defensive unit contin-
ues to improve and get
stronger, with line stand out
constitution was drafted in
such a way as to deny flexi-
bility to Texas Government.
Almost any change requires
formal amendment and on
the average 7-10 amend-
ments are propbsed to the
voters every year.
This year the voter will
have the opportunity to sup-
port or oppose 21 proposi-
tions. Several of the propos-
als directly bear upon law
enforcement and are useful
additions or reforms of our
criminal justice system.
Proposition 9-Creates a
super agency to perform
criminal justice functions. It
is a streamlining effort to
eliminate bureaucracy, red
tape, conflicting purposes.
Voters should support the
proposal to allow legislature
to create a central state wide
criminal justice center.
Proposition 10- A crucial,
much needed reform, and an
attempt to recreate an ap-
proved reform struck down
by prior court rulings. This
proposition allows legisla-
ture to pass a law requiring
judges to inform juries about
parole, good time credits and
how they affect imprison-
ment of a convicted criminal.
This is a proposition that
tings, hearings and crime
settlement data.
The proposal specifically
states that no criminal de-
fendant can use the Bill as a
tool to challenge or overturn
his/her conviction. Voters
should support Proposition
13. ***

tional summary of all the 21
proposals may obtain one
