Our city has ons of the best sewer
systems for its sise in Texas. Let us
•B take Sdrantage of it. We are due
this to ourselves and our neighbors.
The Beeord is showing » good crop
of candidates with this issue of the
paper, but there is plenty of room for
a few more good men, and we shall
not discourage aay oae who has a
political feeling and wants to try out
his kick as a candidate. This paper
will do its beet to give every one who
announces the same good and impar-
tial service daring the campaign, and
then when we go to vote will select
our choice just like other voters.
Jack C. Tucker has moved his va-
riety store from near the Postofficc
to one of John Godager’* buildings
formerly occupied by the Texas Stores
Company furniture stock located be-
tween Nelson A Cowen grocery store
and Carpenter Brothers’ drug store
on main street Mr. Tucker will add
to his stock a line of shelf hardware
and later on may add still another
line of goods—hence he needed more
room than he had at the former
CHAS. M. GANDY ANNOUNCES
FOR RE-ELECTION TO OFFICE
MACK BERTEL80N CANDI-
DATE FOR TAX ASSESSOR
JOHN E. ROBERTSON FOR
COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR
WALLACE DUNCAN CANDI-
DATE FOR TAX ASSESSOR
Political Announcements
County Clerk Chas. M. Gandy this
week announces as a candidate for re-
election to the office of County Clerk
of Bosque county, and was in Clif-
ton Wednesday afternoon visiting
with his many friends, and while here
made the Record a pleasant call and
authorized his name placed in our
political column beginning with this
issue.
* Mr. Gandy feels that with the as-
sistance of Mrs. Gandy who has been
in the office with him most every day
during his few years as Clerk, he has
been able to give the citizens of the
conty efficient service, just what they
an paying for and entitled to, ac-
cording to his way of expressing it;
and says he is highly pleased with
the job and if the people feel that way
about him and his services he would
certainly be thankful to each and
every voter if they would vote to let
him serve them another term.
Mr. Gandy says that every time he
‘can leave the office for a short while
without injuring the service to the
people he will visit over the county
and tell the voters in person how
badly be wants to serve them an-
other two years.
Mack Berlteson who has been our
efficient county surveyor for a num
ber of years, was in Clifton Wednes-
day meeting the voters and telling
them that he was now a candidate for
the office of County Tax Assessor,
Asaei
and ordered his announcement placed
in the Record while here.
Mr. Bertelson feels that with his
knowledge of the tracts of lands over
the county gained by his having done
bo much surveying and helping to ab-
stract properties will enable him to
give the property owners a service
that he could not, had he not gained
this information,
He has lived in Bosque county con-
tinuously since moving here thirty-
six years ago from Hamilton county.
He promises the tax payers the best
service possible should they elect him
as their assessor when they go to
vote in the democratic primary in
July.
Hon. Home* D. Wade of the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce, was s

Elder G. E. McCaleb accompanied

COLLEGE “CATS” WIN TWO
The Clifton College Cats opened
their Junior College schedule on the
local floor last Friday with a 42 to
20 score over Thorp Springs Chris-
tian College. Saturday night the lo-
cals won again on a forfeit after
more than doubling Thorp in points.
Too many fouls left Thorp with- only
four men on the floor, and so the 2
to 0 decision. For the locals, Fanner
did the point scoring setting a com-
manding lead of about 60 points for
the two nights.
The locals are playing only a fair
game yet. Their passing and genera!
handling of the ball needs to be great-
ly improved. Their shooting is not as
true as it should be. These things are
being worked on this week, in prac-
tice games, and when the locals take
the floor Saturday night against Four
C College of Waco a decided improve-
ment should be seen.
Four C. College of Waco sends its
basketball team to Clifton for a
game Saturday evening with the Clif-
ton College team. Four C ia leading
the Commercial League of Waco and
has some real stars in its line-up.
They should give Clifton a good ex-
hibition. The locals are determined
for this game. Nothing will be spared
in an effort to keep defeat off the lo-
cal court. It is hoped that Jackson
will be able to appear at forward for
the Cats in this game, which should
add strength to the team’s attack.
John E. Robertson of Meridian was
here Monday afternoon making it dis-
tinctly understood that he was a can-
didate for the office of Tax Assessor
of Bosque county and called at the
Record office and authorized his name
placed in the political column subject
to the action and will of the voters
as expressed in the democratic pri-
mary next July.
Mr. Robertson, a son of Judge and
Mrs. James M. Robertson of Merid-
ian, was born in Bosque county and
has spent almost his entire life in
Meridian. He has worked for a num-
ber of years with both the tax asses-
sors and tax collectors of the county,
besides has been engaged in the ab-
stract business in the county for
many years which of course makes
him quite familiar with each tract of
land in the county and to a great ex-
tent its value.
Mr. Robertson feels that he is
especially qualified to fill this very im-
portant office to which he aspires, and
if elected promises to give the people
the best service that it is possible for
him to give, and will appreciate the
votes and every consideration that
may be given his candidacy during
the campaign.
Wallace Duncan, a native born cit-
izen of Meridian and having spent
practically his entire life in Bosque
county with the exception of the time
he served in the world war and 1
member of the 90th division, comes
before the citizens and voters of the
county beginning this week as a can-
didate for the office of County Tax
Assessor, and solicits the votes and
good will of every citizen.
Mr. Duncan for many years has
been employed by the Meridian Trib-
une as linotype operator and printer
and says he will not have the oppor-
tunity for some time to get out over
the county and meet with the people
as he would like, but hopes for his
friends to keep him in mind and any
favor given his candidacy will be
highly appreciated.
