IF YOU CAN. take time to visit
the livestock exhibits—both junior
and senior—it the fair this week-
end. The folks who have gone to
the trouble of bringing their ani-

preciate your visit. The ladies, too,

RATTLESNAKES have been bad
this year, especially east of Clifton.
Laickily for M. B. Jameson this
pastVeek, he had on heavy pants
and boots when a big rattler struck
him just above the ankle; the
fangs went in so deep that he had
to kick the snake loose from the
boot There is a movement afoot
to ask the county to increase the
bounty on rattlesnakes, especially
since the death of a fine youngster
at Lake Whitney this summer from
a rattler’s deadly bite
FISHING continues excellent at
Lake Whitney; black bass are re-
ported hitting both top and under
water lures, many being caught
with minnows in about 6ix feet of
water. Sand bass still going good,
with crappie reported to be on a
big “biting spree.” The Lake level
continues steady at about 319.20
feet above sea level
MOTORISTS are advised not to
wait until the last month or so on
their car inspection this year, as
the number of car points to be in-
spected have been increased by the
Texas Highway Commission. Wheels
must be removed to see 4bat brakes
are OK. and other checks are to be
made which will take extra time
this year. There are only a rela-
tively few inspection stations in
the county; they will need your
cooperation to get the job done.
So start now. and the first time
your car is at one of the inspection
.stations have it checked.
DRIVERS are reeled by law,
when on the highway, to stop upon
meeting or overtaking a school bus
which has stopped for the purpose
of receiving or discharging child-
ren. After coming to a stop the
driver of the vehicle can proceed
with due caution at a speed which
is prudent and dpes not exceed ten
miles per hour. The law does not
apply within city limits. Many
