Santa Claus has brought Spain a
revolution which bids fair to over-
throw the government.
While you are having your Christ-

Account of Death of
Mrs. Clayton Copied
Next week the Record will be maib
ed Wednesday. Those having news
items and advertisements will please
bear this in mind and get copy in
early.
At this season reports of people
burn ng to death become numerous.
Every one should take extra pre-
caution to prevent a tragedy of this
kind coming to his home.
The oil derrick is up and plainly vis-
ible from town on the hill to the north-
west. It’s where we can all get a
good v.ew when the oil goes over the
top.
The truck and bus men are organ-
izing to fight back at the railroads.
We do not blame them. They have a
good th.ng and, of course, want to
keep it. But to our mind the argu-
ment is against them.
It looks like the motor busses and
trucks are digging their own graves
by their selfishness. If the big busses
and trucks want to continue to oper-
ate on public high va n: thov Lad bet-
ter be more cons derate of their fei-
lowman.

If you will read the large advertise-
ment of the Lone Star Gas Co., whi*h
appears in this paper, you will have
a better knowledge of what the com-
pany is doing to serve its patrons and
be in better posit on to appreciate that
service. The company spent two
million dollars last summer in order
to be able to render the best possible
serevice this winter. Read the adver-
tisement. It will be t.me well spent.
The effort to have the tabernacle
taken care of and converted into a
eomumnity building that would make
it much more profitable than it is as
it is now has borne fruit. A joint
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce,
School Board and Trustees of the
Tabernalce was held Friday night.
The purpose that brought this meet-
ing about can be accomplished at very
small outlay and there should be no
letup until it is put over.
The Record reproduces below the ac-
count of the death and burial of Mrs.
Pegmelia Clayton from the Foard
County News:
Mrs. Permelia Clayton, 88, died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Laura
Giddings, here Sunday afternoon at
5:45 o'clock. Mrs. Clayton had been
seriously ill for the past three weeks
and had been an invalid during the
greater part of the eight years that
she had lived in Crowell.
Miss Permelia McWhorter, her
maiden name, was bom in Casey
County Kentucky, near Middleburg, on
April, 1842. She married G. B.
Clayton in 1869 and to this union one
child was born, who is the only close
relative of the deceased now living.
Miss Mary Clayton Gidd.ngs, a grand-
daughter, of this city also survives,
along’ with a step-son. J. M. Clayton,
of South Txeas. G. B. Clayton died
in Collin county 27 years ago.
Mrs. Clayton was the youngest of
eleven children and was the last of this
number to die. During the Civil War
she had one brother fighting for the
South and one for the North, although
the family as a whole was in sym-
pathy with the South. In one battle
the brothers were with forces figthing
each other.
For the past 32 years Mrs. Clayton
had resided in Texas, coming to Col-
lin County from Kentcky 32 years
ago. She moved to the home where
she died in 1922. She joined the
Christian Church in 1927.
Grandma Clayton, as she was com-
monly known, was loved by all who
knew her. Her kindness, sweetness
of character and her kindly interest
in others will forever endear her in
the memory of her many friends. In
spite of her condition during the last
years of her life she maintained an
optimistic attitude and was ever
thoughtful and mindful of the com-
fort of others.
She was pei’fectly resigned to death
and her passing was a peaceful and
beautiful one. Her desire to pass
away at sundown was practically ful-
filled. ,
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Christian
Church with Rev. A1 B. Selson, pastor
of the Quanah Christian Church, of-
ficiating, assisted by Rev. C. V. Allen.
Special musical numbers were ren-
dered by a duet emposed of C. V. Al-
len and Joe Ward, and a quartet com-
posed of Mrs. Jim Cook, John Rasor,
C. V. Allen and Joe Ward. Mrs. John
E. Long acted as accompanist.
Pall bearers were: J. E. Harwell,
J. J.^Wright, Frank Crews, John Long,
Guy Ketchersid and John McAnear.
Flower girls were: Misses Frankie
Kirkpatrick, Annie Mae and Lucille
Ellis, Gussie Rich, Frances Cook, and
Winnie Thomson.
Nnterment was made in the Crow-
ell cemetery.
Oklahoma University
Gets Second Skeleton
The second skeleton of a large pre-
historic fish was taken up from the
banks of Haw branch, four miles east
of Celina, late Saturday evening and
started on its way to Oklahoma State
University at Norman Sunday morn-
ing.
This skeleton was found by Homer
Merritt, a former student of the Ok-
lahoma State University, and is the
second to be found by him, the first
having been found a short distance
from where the latter discovered.
This skeleton is about twelve feet
long and is the third to be found in
this community within the last few
weeks, the first being found on the
farm of Roy Williams in the Maple
community.
The last skeleton taken up is that of
the same genus as the other two,
though it has not yet been determined
whether it is the same species or not,
as much rock had to be taken up with
the skeleton and the species will not
be determined until this rock is re-
moved.
Dr. J. W Stovall, special instructor
in vertebrae pallentology in the Ok-
lahoma State University, and his as-
sistant, Mr. L. I. Price, came down
and took the skeleton back to Norman.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Willard of Dallas,
were at the home of their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Willard.

CELINA COUPLE TO WED
Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Marsh of this
city have issued invitations to the
marriage of their daughter, Miss
Gladys, to Mr. Allie Weldon Lewis,
which is to take place at the residence
of the bride’s parents Tuesday, Dec.
23.
It is hard to head off the thieves this
winter, it seems. Recently about a
ton of coal was stloen from the Shain
school house’s coal bin. The thieves
kicked a panel out of the school house
door, entered and secured the key
from its hiding place, unlocked the
coal h n and hauled off the coal. We
have heard of people “loading” wood
for thieves with the result that an ex-
plosion would take place when the
wood was put on the fire. If this
stealing is persisted in, some might
find to their sorrow that coal can
be loaded, too.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kirkland and four
children of Bagwell, Mo„ visited at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Stone, recently.
Many papers ’in this section are
violatnig a law in publishing adver-
tisements of drawings, given for the
purpose of determining the winner of
money or merchandise. The penalty is
heavy and those guilty are taking a
long chance. Then it is unfair to
those communities that observe the
law. Nothing awarded by lot or
chance is mailable, no matter whether
you pay anyth ng for the chance or
not.—Celina Record.
All newspaper publishers know this
is a violation of the postal laws, but
take long chances and hope they are
not caugj t. The News turns down
advertising every week because of this
regulation, ond those papers running
such advert sing will be called to ac-
count sooner or later.
Pure, Fresh Milk
is one of the finest of foods, and
especially should children have a
generous supply. That’s the kind
we handle and are waiting for the
word to deliver it to your door

A little thoughtfulness on the
part of my patrons in putting out
bottles daily will save me much
annoyance. Please do that and I
shall thank you.
