A CORRECTION
In giving an account of the
shooting at Tennessee Valley The
Post made an error in stating
that Newt. Lemmon’s wife was
shot; the statement should have
read that it was Newt. Lem-
mon’s sister which was wounded.

Last Thursday evening, at 6
o’clock, at the home of her
mother, Mrs. E. C. Moody, at
Thornton, Texas, Mr. Henry
Chapman and Miss Inez Moody
were united in marriage.
Henry is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Chapman of the Buck
Creek community, and is known
by all in this city and section. He
j is one of Cottle County’s most
\ highly respected young men, and
numbers his friends by his ac-
quaintances.
Miss Inez attended school in
Paducah last year and is
generally beloved by all who
knew her. She is the niece of
J. M. Barron and Mrs. J. W.
Woodley, and a cousin of Mrs.
Oscar Brothers.
The Post joins the many
friends of these popular young
people in wishing for them a
married life filled with happiness
and prosperity.

I wish to solicit your ginning

that every pains posible will be
taken in ginning your cotton to
give you a good turn-out and a

FAIR BOOSTERS HERE
TO THE PUBLIC
Many people are under the im-
pression, through a report that
has been circulated, that I have
sold my gin to the Quanah Cot-
ton Oil Co., and also that I will
have charge of the Buck Creek
gin this year. I have nothing to
do, directly or indirectly, with
the Buck Creek gin, and no one
has an interest in my gin except
myself. I wish to make this
A bunch of Childress Fair
boosters were in our city last
Tuesday, boosting up the fair
that is to be held there in Sep-
tember. Those who were along
were, J. R. Buev, Bert Wilkins,
W. A. Bonds and Jno. W. Jack-
son
The Childress people are pre-
paring to have a bigger and bet-
ter fair than ever this year.
This is a pretty good old world
after all, even if so many people
do run it ‘‘down the country.”
And that reminds us of the fact
that we have never heard one of
these old grouches say that he
wanted to locate another world
on which to live. Have you?
ENTERTAINED
On Wednesday afternoon, Aug-
ust 16, from the hours of 5
till 6, Mrs. T. M. Drummond of
this city entertained the young
people in a most hospitable man-
ner, the occasion being the hon-
oring of Misses Drummond and
Brown.
The afternoon was spent in
playing many games, after which
a light lunch was served. The
young people were then taken
car riding, which was most
highly appreciated. All who were
there report a most pleasent even-
ing, and wish to thank Mrs.
Drummond for the nice time
shown them. The following were
present:
Misses Florence Brown, Zac
Drurlmond, Artie Norman, Lena
Pressley, Grace Alexander, Eva
Wimberly, May Youngblood, In a
Bell McCarley, and Casey Jones,
Cary Alger, H. H. Wilkins, Wil-
son McCarley, Bill Pressley, Wm.
L. Clary and Reginald Hutchins.
HIGH mileage per unit of gasoline reduces the fuel cost
of operating Saxon Roadster to the minimum figure.
Many owners report an average of 30 miles to the gallon
of gas. And the sturdy construction of Saxon “Four”
cuts the cost of mechanical attention to the lowest notch.
Saxon ‘‘Four” will stand up and give unflagging service
shoulder to shoulder with ears costing far more. Another
feature of Saxon Roadster is its light weight. This re-
duces tire wear to the lowest limit. From 3,500 to 5,000
miles on a single set of tires is the average for Saxon
“Four” at $395.
