INTERESTING NEWS
AT CRANFILLS GAP

drew the best crowd.
Both Clifton and Whitney won their
games last Sunday to cinch the tie
for the first half. Clifton won from
Iredell 11 to 4, while Whitney de-
feated Meridian 4 to 1. Cranfills Gap
defeated Fairy on the same date.
In the game at Clifton, the home
boys hit the ball hard and steady be-
hind the pitching of Rockway, and afr
ter the first few innings the game was
never in doubt. Dewitt of Iredell hit
a terrific drive over the left fielder for
a home run with two on base, ac-
counting for the majority of the vis-
itors’ runs.
Clifton will open the second half at
Cranfills Gap this coming Sunday.

Six-Cent Airmail
Rate Due July 2
Washington, June 20.—A flat air-
mail postage rate of 6 cents an ounce
after July 1 was announced Wednes-
day by the Postoffice Department.
The present rate is 8 cents for the
first ounce and 13 cents for each ad-
ditional ounce.
Officials said the reduction was au-
fhorized by the new airmail law signed
by President Roosevelt last week. Be-
lief was expressed that sufficient ad
oitional new business would result to
make up any loss of revenue due to
the lower price.'

which took place last Friday evening
at the St. Olaf Lutheran Church at
fight o’clock with Rev. Obenhaus of

A distinctively lovely wedding was
that of Miss Marie Christensen to
Mr. Herman Reesing which was sol-
emnized at 7:30 o’clock, Sunday even-
ing, June 10, at the St. Olaf Luther-
an Church. Rev. G. A. Obenhaus read
the sacred service. The altar was
banked with potted plants. The front
pews were roped off with pink and
blue crepe paper and were reserved
for the relatives of the bride and
groom. Ushers were Misses Lucille
and Sylvia Lee Reesing, Jacob Chris
tensen and Jodie Pederson. Prior to
the ceremony Miss Hannah Hoff and
Mr. Ervin Christensen came down the
center aisle and took their places at
the organ, with Mrs. Christine Swen-
son accompanying they sang, “The
Sunshine of your smile. As Mrs.

tle Miss Evelyn Reesing. The couples
separated at the foot of the chancel
and took places at the sides of the
altar. The bridesmaids were arrayed
in modish ankle length gowns in pink
and blue. They carried baskets of cut
flowers. The bride entered leaning on
the arm of her brother, Mr. Emroy
Christensqp and was met at the altar
by the groom attended by the best
man, Mr. Jbdie Reesing. -The bride
was attired in a white satin gown
trimmed with sparkling sequins. Her
long silk illusion veil was gathered
about her head with a wreath of
oVange blossoms. During the ceremony
“Love’s Old Sweet Song” was softly
played by Mrs. Swenson at the organ.
After the marriage ceremony had
been performed, the bridal party
mached out of the church to the
strains of the recessional. A recep-
tion was given at the home of the
groom’s parents immediately follow-
ing the ceremony, to a large group
of guests. The decorations in the din-
ing room achieved the charming color
scheme of blue and white. In the cen-

CONGRESSMAN O. H. CROSS
SENATOR TOM CONNALLY
Representative O. H. Cross and Senator Tom Connally, after remaining
at their post of duty in the U. S. Congress until the session closed last Mon-
day night, left Washington immediately for their homes in Waco and Marlin,
respectively
After a few days rest at their homes, both Senator Connally and Rep-
resentative Cross will enter upon their campaigns for re-election. Each has
a highly commendable record and there is no doubt in the minds of the
majority of the people that each will continue to serve the people of Texas
in the same honorable and efficient manner as they have been doing.
MERIDIAN STARTS PAVING
CLIFTON HOPES FOR SAME
Senator Connally Says
Things Favor PWA
To Clifton *
Encouraging news was received
during the past week in regard to the
Clifton street paving project that has
been hanging fire for some time. Ap-
proximately a year ago a request was
made of the Public Works Adminis-
tration for money to be used in pav-
ing our streets.
Since that time, Mayor Tom Parks
and Jack Tucker have taken the mat-
ter up with Senator Tom Connally. A
letter from the Senator received by
Parks and Tucker leaves the impres-
sion that Clifton’s request is being
favorably considered, and that Sena-
tor Connally is on the job.
Senator Connally’s letter is as fol-
lows:
Mayor Tom C. Parks,
Mr. Jack Tucker,
Dear Sirs:
I have your telegram of the second
instant with respect to the applica-
tion of the City of Clifton for funds
from the Pubjic Works Administration
with which to finance a paving pro-
ject. I have been in touch with the
authorities of the Public Works Ad-
ministration and find that this appli-
cation is making- most satisfactory
progress. I trust action may be taken
thereon within the near future. I
shall keep you advised of develop-
ments here. -■
With best wishes and assurances of
my desire to be of service in any way
possible, I am
Sincerely,
Tom Connally.

Clifton’s Star Routes To
Change Carriers July 1
Beginning with July the first the
two routes out of • Clifton—to Ros-
well and to Cranfills Gap—will change
carriers. P. L. Elder will succeed Will
Pool on the route to Roswell, and
Benny Swenson will take the route
now operated by A. A. Wickman from
Cranfills Gap to Clifton; and it will
be noted that the latter route will be
changed to the extent that the mail
leaves Clifton every morning at eight
o’clock, the driver going to Cranfills
Gap, and return the same day and
making it possible for every citizen
living on the upper and lower roads
to get their mail every day and by
noon instead of as it is now, serving
some of them a day late with the
mail which comes in by rail to Clif-
ton. This change was recommended
by the inspector, he deeming it a much
better service to all the people and
at np additional cost to the govern-
ment.
Work was to be resumed Thursday
on the paving of Meridian’s square.
Alex Anderson was notified during the
week to have a certain number of
CWA workers on hand from this sec-
tion to aid in carrying on the paving.
This is one of the first pieces of work
that CWA men. have done in quite a
while. Direct relief had been the only
manner of aid furnished since the pro-
jects were called off last spring. Clif-
ton is thankful that the needy around
this community are getting work on
the street paving at the county seat,
and glad that Meridian has been for-
tunate enough to put this paving pro-
ject through.
Children’s Playground
Opened Tuesday Night
Formal opening of Clifton’s play-
ground was held Tuesday evening and
was enjoyed equally 1>y children and
grown folks. The mayor, Tom C.
Parks, turned the speech making over
to W. D. Raley.
Mr. Raley gave a short resume of
those responsible for the park: Clif-
ton ministers, the City Council, Mrs.
Lottie Grimland, Civic Society, and
the Lions Club. After Mr. Raley’s
talk the large group present was
served punch and lemonade while the
band under the direction of Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. Kreyer furnished music
for the occasion.
The children were turned loose to
enjoy themselves on the new swings,
slides, bars and various other appa-
ratus constructed on the playground
for their amusement.
The location of the playground
could not be beat; it is in. the center
of Clifton and has sufficient shade
trees to furnish a cool place for the
kids at all hours of the day. A water
fountain is conveniently located. The
children have shown their apprecia-
tion of the grounds by making use
of the apparatus from sun-up to sun-
down. It is hoped they will see fit to
take care of the equipment.

In order that the Cotton Reduction
Contract signers of Clifton, Womack,
Cayote and Norse have a chance to
receive their cotton checks, C. L. Wil-
son, County Agent, has called a meet-
ing at the Clifton City Hall, Saturday
afternoon, June 23, at 2 o’clock at
which time all checks will be deliv-
ered.
The meeting had been scheduled to
be held in Clitfon, Tuesday morning
bdt due to farmers failing to receive
notice cards at the proper time, few
of the contract signers were present
to receive their checks.
This meeting, which will be held
Saturday, supersedes all notices
which have been mailed. Even though
another meeting has been scheduled,
the proper thing to do is come to the
City Hall meeting with 'the other
farmers who received check notices
and obtain the Government benefit
check.
Because one hundred checks did not
arrive with the County checks, some
farmers will not receive checks at
this time; however,-they are expected
within a short period of time.

Presidents’ Widows
Pension Started in 1870
The custom of paying pensions to
widows of United States presidents
did not originate until July 14, 1870,
when the President approved a bill
providing that “the secretary of the
interior be, and is hereby, authorized
to place the name of Mary Lincoln,

The women of the home demonstra-
tion clubs who are bedroom demon-
strators for their respective clubs,
have completed the work of improv-
ing their rooms to make them more
comfortable, sanitary, and attractive.
Besides demonstrating to their
friends what can be done on very lit-
tle expenditure- of money, these
women are competing with each oth-
er in a contest for prizes offered by
the home demonstration council for
the one who has reached the goal with
the wisest spending of money and
labor. The judges, Mrs. L.'A. Dunlap
and Mrs. Jno. E. Robertson of Me-
ridian, are ready to announce the
winners as follows:
1st.,' Miss Minnie Reierson, Merid-
ian Creek H. D. Club.
2nd., Mrs. Dan Pike, Loader Springs
Club.
3rd.., Mrs. E. C. Johle, Womack.
The cost of improvement for all
the women had wide range, from
$1.93 for one to $21.01 for the high-
est. The general attitude of all who
took part is that the best thing that
they have is the nice room whether
they are awarded a prize or not.
A tour of these rooms is being
made Thursday, June 21st, to give the
different demonstrators and their
friends an opportunity of seeing and
cowparing the work.

pay her a pension at the rate of
$3,000 per annum from and after the
passage of this act.” Her pension was
increased to $5,000 a year by the act
of February 2, 1882, and this has re-
mained the rate of pensions for wid-
ows of Presidents, when granted,
since that time.
Prior to the increase, the widow of
President Tyler had received a pen-
sion of $100 a month, but this rate
was reduced on account of the fact
that at his death he was a member
of the Confederate congress.
The pension has not been' granted
to all widows, the exceptions usually
being as in the case of Mrs. Harding,

cured meat and fresh supply of chick-
