said that clothes make

o a band. Regardless
well the members march,
fell they play their instru-

-the appearance will be

Jand Mothers, an organiza-
bnsisting of mothers of
ys of the band, have' raised
the funds necessary to
the uniforms, but are
Cking some. The citizens
ague should make an effort
raise the balance of the money.
It has been suggested that the
f band give concerts in an effort
f to complete payment of their
uniforms. If this plan is- put
into operation, every one who can
possibly dp so,, should buy as
many tickets as he can. This
will not be a donation, but will
be a show where the purchaser
will get his money’s worth. Could
[ also have amateur night to go
long with the concert, giving
prizes to the most talented.

These band concerts can be
ven soon in the new Teague
ol gymnasium. Work is pro-
_ rapidly on this building
it will be a credit to Teague
Freestone county.

emor James V. Allred has
laimed August 27th as World
Day in Texas, saying that
i world of international
e and threatts of war that it
well for the people to turn
• thoughts to peace. This
is the eighth anniversary of
signing of thft.,Kellog p®ac®,
it. It X h°Ped ^at the P°w*
-that-be' who. are administer-
the affairs of the ; United
.tea Government will keep this
itry out of another war. The
war is gone by eighteen
irs> and we will be paying for
eighty more. However, this
ter does not wish to infer that
is in favor of the country do-
away with all means of de-
because it is not impossi-
for an enemy to invade this
try. The best money Con-
could spend now for nation-
defense is to purchase more
lanps and teach more men
to hkndle them. The next
will be fought principally in
pir and against the civilian
Vtion with gas. Civilians'
FREESTONE COUNTY

TO ATTEND MEETINGS
ing the latter part of August
and through September, under the
auspices of the Texas Agricul-
tural . Association and through the
co-operation of the Department of
Agriculture and A. & M. oollege.
Purpose ctf the meetings is to
further acquaint farmers and
their wives with the national
agricultural program, to discuss
the importance of stranger farm-
organization, to study methods of
community organization and leg-
islation affecting agriculture and
to sell more thoroughly, business
and professional men on the value
of an adequate agricultural pro-
gram to business as well as to
farmers.
The torrid campaign for Repre-
sentative between County Attorney
Bowlen Bond of. Fairfield and J.
P. Stubbs of Wortham, brought out
nearly 100 votes more in the run-*
off primary Saturday than were
cast - in the first primary, . and
gave Bond • a lead of 212 votes
for the nomination.
Ernest O. Thompson carried
the county for Railroad Commis-
sioner over Frank S. Morris by
nearly two to ope. Commissioner
of Agriculture J. E. McDonald
held a slight lead over Geo. B.
Terrell, former Commissioner, but
not the proportionate lead indi-
cated . in the state vote, which in
the case of both Thompson and
McDonald was about two to one.
County Clerk E. -R. Glazener
led the ticket with 2,781, over
his opponent John C. Baggett,
both candidates having ■ served
previous terms as County Clerk.
The lead of Sheriff J. R. Sessions
over W. E. Mainord was 189;
While JC. F. Simpson, former Tax
Collector, led Hugh D. Reed,
Deputy Assessor and Collector,
by a vote of 2,475 to 1,996.
Jacjc Alexander of Teague, who
had the misfortune to have both
legs cut off when he was run
ever by a freight train at Donie
in 1933, polled a lead of 71 over
Mrs. Julia Johnson of Fairfield,
in one of the closest races of the
campaign.
The Commissioners contests in
precincts one, two and three,
showed the closest scores of any,
contenders for political prefer-
ment. L. H. Withrow, present
incumbent of Precinct No. 2, lead-
ing J. T. Sandifer, making his
first race, by only 59 votes;
Commissioner T. R. Bonner pf
Precinct No. 1, Fairfield, leading
A. H. Bass by only 48 votes, while
J. 3, Coburn, former Commission-
er of Precinct No. 3, led Tom
Nesbitt, present incumbent, by
only 31 votes.._____

The time of day and day of
the week of meetings; jthe details
of the fall trades expansion cam-
paign; the genera^ welfare of the
community, and the preliminaries
incident to clearing a way for
new. WPA projects are all sub-
jects to come before the initial
fall meeting of the Teague Bus-
iness Men’s Luncheon Club to be
held at Philips Cafe op Thurs-
day, Sept. 3, at high noo’n. ’•
Furthermore, there is a sent!
ment growing for a' permanent
meeting place. There is appar-
ently no ideal place for the club
to hold its meetings. Some have
the idea this is the most ideal
place .while others are of the
c pinion that the other is best.
But these problems are to be fin-
ally decided ultimately and the
club settle down for the fall pro-
gram. ^ , ' 1 i
.. But, whatever your plans for
the fall, whatever you have - in
mind as a trades expansion cam-
paign, be at the first meeting of

committee have located and class-
ified most of these minerals but
in Freestone county there are
posits of lime and anhydrite
which haven’t been fully located.
Residents of "Freestone county

deposits can render a great-ser-
vice to the State by sending full
information to Chas. W. Walker,
the Texas Planning Board, Aus-
tin, Texas.
