FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
We are on the verge of a great re-
ligious awakening. The religious con-
troversies of which we have been
reading about in the papers have had
the effect of making people think, and
as the result pf this they have begun
to take renewed interest in the things
pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
Christianity is the most vital factor
in the world, and people cannot be* in-
differenet to its claims very long at a
time. Many-of us have been watching
with keen interest, the approach of
this wave of religious interest, ahd it
is the opinion of many that it is al
most Ijpre. ‘ The harvest is plentious.”
It remains only for the Christian peo-
ple of* Clifton to forget their differ-
ence* in a denominational way and to
bend their energies toward the one
goal of winning souls for the Master.

Preparations are being made to en-
tertain the County Council of the
Parent-Teacher Association, Satur-
day afternoon, under the auspices of
the local P. T. A. The P. T. A. is a
constructive influence in our midst
that merits the support and commen-
dation of every individual, and our
ciy feels proud to be the recipient of
such an organization. At this meet-
ing, no doubt but every local P. T. A.
in the county will have its repreaen-
tatives.
Today the Sales Committee of the
Cranfilis Gap Wool and Mohair
Growers Association sold a clip of
wool aggregating thirty thousand
pounds at the nice figure of thirty-
nine cents per pound. The sale was
made direct to a member of a firm in
Lexington, Ky., but on our own
ground. This price was ten cents per
pound higher than the price offered
for the same wool on the same day
by a local buyer. In this event the as-
sociation netted the growers a clear
profit of $3000.00 by their co-opera-
tive efforts, in pooling their wool. It
may also be said, too, for the Assocta-
tion, that never in our history have
so many big buyers been introduced
to our people. This itself, is worth
much to our town and community. It
seems to be a good start to a big fu-
ture for our wool growers locally.
The association is operating in a
spirit of perfect harmony, and no
doubt will continue to do so. The
growers, by being organized, with
the selling power vested in a commit-
tee, no doubt resisted the temptation
of selling the wool at he twenty-
five cents per pound limit offered for
a long time. There are even fifty
members who are represented in this
pooL Much credit is due to the un-
tiring efforts of our sales committee,
in securing 4hia splendid price. A
feeling of genera) satisfaction seems
to exist over the sale.

CLIFTON WINS THE
CASE IN WASHINGTON
The Supreme Court in Washington
the highest court in the land, has de-
cided that the City of Clifton has the
right to put in Ms own light plant.
About seventeen months ago, when
the City of Clifton started to . put in
its own light plant, Mr. R. O. Bass
obtained an injunction to prevent the
city from doing Iso.
This placed the matter in the courts
starting in Cleburne, then transferred
to Meridian, then Appealed to the
Court of Appeals in Waco, then ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court in Aus-
tin, and finally appealed to the United
States Supreme Court in Washington,
The City won. the case in all courts.
This has been a record case In many
respects and has been watched all
over Texas. It has settled once and
for all that a city has the right to
own and operate its own light plant.
It has also been a record breaker as
to time. It has gone from the lowest
court to the highest court in the land
in lees than eighteen months.
Hon. H. J. Cure ton of Meridian
handled the case, assisted by attorney
Geo. W. Anderson.
