State Pension Organization said they
were unable to complete mailing of
July pension checks last night and

ever, that nearly all of the approx-
imately 40,000 warrants would reach

BOY ELECTROCUTED
IN PLAYING PART
OF HAUPTMANN*
Miss Elsie Sager, who lives out
east of town a few miles, has been
thoroughly convinced that Clifton is
a good place in which to invest her
money. For some time she has owned
the , residence on fifth street, just
south of the A. O. Nelson home, which
was formerly owned by Mrs. J. A.
Jeanes. This house being old, Miss
Sager recently decided to have it
razed, and early this week work was
begun on the erection of a new and
modem residence on the same site;:
Ed Stanford being the building fore-
man and Cameron & Company hav-
ing the contract to furnish the ma-
terial. This means another modem
residence to beautify and enhance the
property value of our town, and BEisw
Elsie is receiving the congratulations
of friends for her progressiveness
and faith in the town and: cammunity.

fixed to it two electric wires. After
following the ritual of an American
electrocution, as described by the-
newspapers, Timothy, who was efli-

his eyes tied with a handkerchief
and was brought to the chair.
To make the play look as real as
possible, Timothy's friends moistened
his legs and at the sign of the

plug which was attached to the wires
into an electric socket. The wave was

Hon. 3. Manley Head of Stephen-

form on main street in the interest of
his candidacy for State Senator to
represent this district. His speech
.seemed to be very interesting to

■so was his argument against the
sales tax for this state seemingly ap-
pealing to all. Mr. Head has a strong
following in this section.

kgainst the sales tax for Texas was
enthusiastically applauded by the
large audience out to hear his open-
