Molay. Some failed to appreci-
ate the joke, but the Rntarians
were raising money for a good

justified. The “Bloomer Girls”

PATTONVILLE WEIGHER
WILL BE ELECTED
A new interpolation of a
recent law by the Attorney
General permits more than one
public weigher to lie elected in u
justice precinct, and the men
who were candidates for those
offices at Pattonville, Petty,
Howland and Paris will enter the
second primary, according to
information given The Times by
J. R. Hutchison Jr., a member
of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Lamar County.
At Pattonville three men had
entered the race for weigher at
that place, but did not tile their
names for a place on the ticket
w lien the law passed by the
legislature two years ago was
interpreted to mean that not
more than one weigher could be
elected in a justice precinct,
These men- announced in The
Times previous to that date; we
suppose their names wiil appear
on the ticket for the run-off to be
held Saturday week, and we are
replacing their names in our
announcement column.
Avery Wins Last Game
Quite a bit of excitement was
aroused Tuesday morning when
Mr. and Mrs. John R. West-
brook, Jr., awoke and discovered
that their small son, Vernon,
was not in the house. He had
been sick ail day Monday and
Mr. Westbrook had remained by
ins bed side until twelve o’clock
that night. When Mr. West-
brook awoke he started a search
for him. A bout eight o'clock the
boy was found at the home of
T. G. Mauldin, only a short dis-
tance from the Westbrook home.
Mr. Mauldin reports that tie
came to his home about two
o’clock that morning, very badly
frightened, and wanted to stay
until daylight. He told Mr.
Mauldin that his patents were
away from home and he was
afraid to stay by himself, and
Mr. Mauldin put him to bed.
It is supposed the hoy got up
while asleep and after getting
out of his home became frighten-
ed. _
