to assemble at the City Auditorium
for the purpose of hearing a propo-

November the improvements were
noted; in June the prettiest yards
(B, W. D. «.!.,)
were selected.
What we enjoyed most on our No-
vember scoriifg was the many pretty
chrysanthemums; they were prettier
than the June zinnias but we stayed
longest where the ladies showed us
chrysanthemums that they had grown
for the Flower Carnival. (We hope
that every woman in the county will
see the flowers on exhibit at the Car-
nival.) As we looked at the perfect
lowers produced by leaving only one
jud to the stalk we were willing, for
sition from Dr. C. D. Pearce, Chief of
the Manufacturing Department Bu-

Borden Company.
It is very probable that Mr. Page,
General Manager of the Borden Com-
pany will also be in the party.
The big central plant and distrib-
uting center of The Borden's will be
located at Waco; members of the
Waco Chamber of Commerce are
coming to our town with the Borden
officials. This is our chance of a life-
time. Be sure and come out and show
your loyalty.

We enjoyed a discussion of flowers
with Mrs. Nelson—a real flower lover,
we then understood why flowers grow
better for the persons who love them1

the study of flowers and to their cul-

EtyAY ON PANTS
Pans ana-made for men and not for
women. Women are made for men and
not for pants. When a man pants for
a woman and a woman pants for a
man that makes a pair of pants.
Pants are like molasses, they are
thinner in hot weather and thicker in
cold weather. There has been very
much i discussion as to whether pants
is singular or plural. To wear pants
is plural and when you don't wear
pants it is singular. If you want to
make panto last, make the coat first.
mums over six feet tall at Mrs. A. 0
Swenson’s that were grown without
water; she had worked them with a
hoe.
We would like to comment more
on interesting observations made, but
the Christian life. Hie Christian
makes Christ the object of his faith,
the glory and happiness in his life.
That is a happy life, for the Christian
enjoys the grace of God. It is a noble
life, for the Christian serves God.
Mrs. Dahl lived this life. She lived a
Christian life. We can truly say
about her: “For me to live is Christ.”
Our hopes, therefore go beyond this
life and reach into the land that is
better than this. “To die is gain" We
believe that she paw the salvation of
the Lord and departed in peace. That
is our Christian hope. She was faith-
ful unto the end.
She will be remembered down thru
the years to come ss a faithful ser-
vant of Christ, one to whom God en-
trusted many wonderful spiritual
Hon. Arnold Davenport, county at
torney of Wise County, came down
the first af the week from Decatur to
accompany Mrs. Davenport and their
two small children home after their
visit in the home of Mrs. Davenport
parents, Dr. and Mrs. D. A. Carpen-
ter, for a week or more.
Sam M. Ringness, owner of the
Clifton Tailor shop in this city makes
another step forward in the line of
progresaiveness, and this week spent
J. W. Henry, that progressive di-
versifying farmer of the Mosheim
community, decided to help make
the Clifton Fair and Flower Carnival
a better success by bringing in some
of his Big Boll Cotton and is display-
ing it in the Standefer building which
was recently vacated by the White
Swan Cafe. Mr. Henry has a display
of this fine cotton that would make
a creditable showing at a state fair,
and all who come to Clifton this week
should make it a special point to call
by and see this beautiful display of
Mr. Henry’s fine cotton which he has
spent years in developing to the high-
est standard of perfection.

given below: Rented yard showing
