Let's Be Friendly
Does that boy of yours know anything about dealing with a
bank? How about the girls? And the wife, too? If not, they
should learn.
Why not bring in the whole family and let's get acquainted?
The day is coming when those children of yours will be doing
business with a bank. Why not bring them in now? We will be
glad to meet them all and to show them around. We've got a
good bank and want the confidence and friendship of every one.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Stone first said that Silver used the
gun, and recently repudiated this
statement, admitting that he shot
Wilson. Silver has declared from the
j start that it was Stone.
It was noticeable that when here
| Friday Mrs. Silver calmly stated that
previous to the tragedy Stone had
borne a good reputation.

SILVER GRANTED REPRIEVE
Governor Moody Wauls lime to Ex-
amine Record.
BIRTHDAY NOV 7?
YOU CAN VOTE ON 6.
What part can be played in the
presidential election by thousands
who will become 21 years of age
on November 7, is a question asked
and answered in a story sent out un-
der a Washington, D. C., date line.
The answer is simple, but one that
probably few will ever think of, con-
siting only of the statement, obvi-
ously true, that a person whose twen-
ty- first birthday falls on Nov. 7,
really becomes of age on November
6, this being the last day of the
twenty-first year, and the next day
is the first one of the twenty-second
year—that is, from the standpoint
of law as interpreted by one of the
big boys of the profession—and ho
ought to know.

Webb-Carlton.
On Thursday evening, September
20, at 8:30 o'clock, Alfred C. Webb
and Miss Cynthia Ann Carlton were
united in marriage. The ceremony
was performed in the home of Elder
and Mrs. John T. Lauderdale, with
Elder Lauderdale as the officiating
minister.
These are very popular young peo
pie from the Gladys community, anc

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 20.—With
J. R. (Bob) Silver only seven hours
from the electric chair in the Hunts-
ville prison, Governor Moody late
Thursday afternoon announced a re-
prieve of one week in order that he
could read the 500-page record of the
case and the Pardon Board's recom-
mendation. He said that he had look-
ed at neither so far.
The Governor left at 6 o'clock
Thursday morning for San Antonio
to attend the funeral of George D.
Armistead, and did not return to
Austin until 4 o'clock in the after-
noon. In the mean time there were
numerous telephone calls and tale-
grams inquiring concerning the Gov
ernor's decision.
"I did not make up my mind to
grant a stay of execution until on
my way back from San Antonio," he
said. The Governor exhibited the
voluminous record of the case, six
inches thick, which bundle also con-
tains petitions, letters and messages
bearing on the case.
Maclin Little Help.
Silver was sentenced to die shortly
after midnight tonight for participa
t;ng in the robbery and killing of
Roscoe Wilson, treasurer of the Ma-
jestic Theater in Fort Worth nearly
two years ago. A co-defendant, W.
A. Stone, is serving a 99-year terpi
at Huntsville. Both men were tried
on a charge of robbery with firearms.
After announcing the respite Thurs-
day afternoon Moody added that the
information given him by A. C. Mac-
lin, Fort Worth patrolman, did not
throw much light on the case, as far
as helping him to a decision is con-
cerned.
"He was not an eyewitness," the
Governor said. "He told me of a
statement Silver is said to have made
to him, to the effect that Silver fired
the shot, but this was not made part
of the testimony, and in addition the
officer's statements as to identifying
the two after he saw them on the
street, was conflicting.
Warden Asks Order.
"There is widespread interest in the
case and I want to give it careful
consideration. The record will show
Silver's activities in Missouri, Indiana
and in other places, and I want to
read this."
Duringthe Governor's absence on
Thursday the warden in Huntsville
telephoned to learn if there were any
orders. He was informeed that there
were none except the court order for
the execution, that Moody had not
yet announced any decision. Prepa-
rations for the execution went ahead,
Silver probably learning of the re-
prieve six hours before the time set
for his death. This is the second de-
lay allowed the prisoner, the first re-
prieve having been from September
3 to September 21. The Governor
still has to decide whether to com-
mute Silver's sentence to a life term.
Friday afternoon the Governor con-
ferred with Mrs. Mary Louise Sil-
ver, mother of Bob, for nearly two
hours, followed by another confer-
ance with Maclin, who arrived from
Fort Worth while the Governor was
talking with Mrs. Silver.
Who Fired Shot?
Several times the Governor has ex-
pressed a desire to learn which man
ired the shot that killed Wilson.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Hoover, two miles west of town, was
the scene of one of the most charm-
ing parties of the autumn season
last Friday, when their daughter,Miss
Mary, and Mrs. Mickey Guinn wero
hostesses to a group of their friends
Methodist Revival.
The revival which has been in pro-
gress all this week at the Meahodist
church is being well attended and
much interest is being manifested.
The seimons delivered by Rev. Ed
Morgan are brimfull of old fashion-
ed religion, and are striking respon-
sive chords among his hearers. Peo-
ple are coming every night from a
distance of twelve to fifteen miles.
Rev. Harry Rankin of Walnut
Ridge, Ark., is conducting the sing-
ing and is singing his way into the
hearts of the people, and the choir
under his direction is certainly mak-
ing "a joyful noise unto the Lord."
Of special interest are the young
people's* meetings which are being
with an enjoyable bridge party. .. ., . . , . . . . ...

Three Divorce from Same Man.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—Mrs. Jose-
phine Hiltwein feels that three di
vorces from the same man are about
as many as one woman ought to have.
She made that clear Wednesday after
Judge Gemmill indicated that he
would grant her petition for divorce
from Edward Hiltwein, thrice her
husband.
The couple's first divorce was in
1922, after a year of married life.
The second marriage in 1923 was of-
ficially terminated in 1927. April 10
of that year was the date, and on
April 11 the Hiltweins remarried.
DALLAS, Sept. 20.—Charges were
filed against two Dallas youths on
Thursday in connection with an al-
leged attack upon a 13-year-old Oak
Cliff High School girl Wednesday
night.
Van Lindsey was charged with
criminal assault, while a charge of
attempted criminal assault was filed
against Oscar Choat, alias Jack Sum-
mers. The charges were filed after
Assistant District Attorney Richard
Shults had talked to the girl Thurs-
day.
The girl said the two boys picked
her up in their automobile late Wed-
nesday afternoon when she was re-
turning from school. Over her pro-
test, she said, the boys drove into
the country, where one of them mis-
treated her. The second boy attempt-
ed to attack her, she said, but became
alarmed when she fainted.
After the alleged attack the girl
was brought back to the city and
pushed from the automobile in front
of her home.

New Feed Store for Saint Jo.
J. W. Howell has leased the ware-
house near the railroad between
Howell and Boggess streets, and will
soon open up a new feed store in the
building.
He is also installing a mill and will
be prepared to grind your corn. He
will handle all kinds of feed and buy
and sell all kinds of grain.
Some of the A1 Smith henchmen
in Texas are saying that Hoover en-
dorses fraud and corruption because
he endorses the Coolidge administra-
tion, during which a number of polit-
ical scandals and frauds have come
to light. Of course no honest man
will make such a claim. It might be
as truthfully claimed of Smith that
he endorses corruption, because he is
a member of and warmly endorses
Tammany, the most corrupt political
organization on the face of the earth.

Have you protected yourself and your family with an ac-

NEW POULTRY BUILDING STATE FAIR. OF TEXAS
Dallas—(Special)—Last year the Ppultry Department of the State Fair
of Texas had to refuse nearly a thousand entries of really good birds because
the exhibitors had not entered them in time to secure space in the Poultry
Building.
This impelled the Directors of the State Fair to provide a new building
large enough to accommodate all the entries of high-class poultry that might
be offered. The building is completed and ready for the opening of the Fair.
October 6.
It is located near the Grand Av>nue gate, not a stone's throw from the
east end of the massive Manufacturers' and Automotive Trades Building and
just a step off of the main avenue which leads from the front gates of the
grounds to the Grandstand.
** Superintendent Walter Burton states thai the poultry exhibits at the
coming Slate Fair will be of higher quality than those of any other poultry
show in America. The premium list is now ready for distribution, h« states.

Notice Taxpayers.
Through a misunderstanding as to
dates the tax notice running in the
Tribune the last three or four issues
gives the wrong date for city taxes
to become delinquent. It said Octo-
ber 31, when it should have said Sep-
tember 30. When the notice was giv-
en to the editor with instruction to
publish it, he understood the date of
delinquency to be October 31, but it
seems that he misunderstood it or an
orror was made by the one who gave
it to him. It cannot be definitely de-
termined now who made the error,
but it is certain that all unpaid city
taxes will be delinquent and subject
to penalty after September 30.
