iliar to the many spectators and
officials here who attended one or
more of the trials in the 29th Dis-
trict Court in Stephenville.
Although the number voting
was very light, taxpayers of the
Oak Dale Consolidated Common
School District Saturday express-
ed their approval by unanimous
ballot for a 62,250 bond issue, to
be used as the district’s part in fi-
nancing a 17*0.00 community can*,
ter building, which also will be
used for school purposes. The vote
was 24 to 0, for the bond issue.
Miller Williams was in charge
of the election. The proposed
building, to be of wood, will be 40
by 70 feet. Labor necessary for
construction will be obtained from
the Oak Dale community as far
as possible.
The bond issue will cause no in-
crease in school taxes in that dis-
trict, which has a 90c rate on the
$100 valuation, part of which will
be used to retire the bond issue.
WPA _ assistance will be asked in
financing the remaining $4,760 of
the proposed $7,000 structure.
Chandler A Chandler, in charge
of legal preliminaries, states that
Clairette taxpayers will vote on a
$4,000 bond itsue next Tuesday,
December 20, to help finance a
$18,000 gymnasium, which also is
to be used as a community center
on the Clairette school ground by
both the school and the communi-
ty. Clairette, free of debt, will
not raise the tax rate, which is
75c on the $100 valuation, hut will
use part of this to retire the bond
issue, if it carries at next Tues-
dav’s election.
Morgan Mill, Duffau and Oak
Dale now have all favored bond
issue at recent elections. Each is
seeking WPA aid to finance about
70 per cent of the total cost of
construction. Clairette will do like-
wise. if the proposition carries
Tuesday. Laborers in the respec-
tive communities voting these
bonds will receive several months
of work, if WPA aid is obtained.

/. Monroe Savage
Are Held Saturday
Funeral services for James Mon-
roe Savage, 84, member of one of
Erath county’s pioneer families,
who died at 4 o’clock Saturday
morning, December 10, at the home
of his brother, Tom Savage, in
Rocky Point community, were held
here Saturday afternoon at 4:00
o’clock at West Epd cemetery,
where burial was made.
Rev. Claude Bays of Lingleville,
Baptist minister and friend of the
family, and Rev. O. L. Savage of
Austin, nephew of Mr. Savage,
conducted the rites at the grave-
side. Pallbearers were Jim Perry,
Will I. Martin, Luther and Ira
Helms, and Robert Hook.
Trewitt Funeral Home directed
arrangements throughout the ser-
i vice which was attended by a large
number of friends and relatives of
the family. Friends assisted with
the floral offering.
James Monroe Savage was born
March 15, 1864, in Missouri. He
was the oldest son of the late John
Savage and Letty Harriet Carmack
Savage who moved from Missouri
to Texas when he' was a small
child. His parents settled first in
Grayson county, later moving to
Erath conuty, settling on a farm
on the South Bosque river about
two miles north of Stephenville.
The Indians in this section were
friendly at the time he and his
parents came to Erath county and
often came to their home where
they carried on friendly conversa-
tions with his mother. Later these
same Indians went on the warpath
committing many depredations in
the county, but never harmed his
family.
He was married 22 yeart ago in
Arkansas, but eight years ago his
health failed and he came back
to Texas to make his home with
his brother, with whom he was
living at the time of his death. For
the past two months he had been
seriously ill and was tenderly nur-
sed and cared for by his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Will Savage, who with
her husband had been staying at
the Tom Savage home to help take
care of their brother in his ill-
ness. Mr. Savage united with the
Baptist church early in life, his
membership Tor several years hav-
ing been with the Rocky Point
church.
He is survived by his wife and
stepson, Thurman Savage of Ar-
kansas; two brothers, Tom and
Will Savage of Rocky Point, and
one sister, Mrs. Dave Hurley of
Comanche. *
His father died January 11,
1872, and his mother died in 1908.
Both were buried at West End
cemetery.

REA Members Are
Warned Against
Paying Strangers
Geo. L. Martin, president of the
Erath County Rural Electric Co-
Operative Association, warns far-
mers who are members of the as-
sociation concerning the payment
of advance fees for wiring their
houses for this service.
Martin warns that members are
not required to pay more than 20
per cent of the cost of wiring un-
til after the lines have been built.
He also states that members should
be certain those representing
themselves as being connected with
the REA really are connected with
it. In some places, Martin said,
men traveling through the country
where these power lines are to be
built are collecting money mem-
bers believe they are paying the
REA employees, when actually
some of these persons are not in
any way connected with It.
No such cases have been reported
yet in Erath county, the president
stated, but the warning is issued
now in order to prevent any of the
members of the association in this
county from loss to those who
might seek money under false pre-
tenses in this manner.

Ellis County Dancing:
Day before yesterday I received
a telegram to come to Avelon, El-
lis county, and witness and partic-
ipate in a square dance contest.
E. O. Rogers is the county recrea-
tional chairman, and if I am any
judge!, he is master of the situa-
tion. I got there just before the
contest began and made myself
known to Mr. Rogers. He said:
“Come on. I want to introduce you
to three thousand people and I
want you to say a few words. I
did. My speeeh had exactly three
sentences. I received an ovation.
After and during the content
Mr. Rogers reminded the crowd
that while the judges were reach-
ing their decision that they would
see the Mayor of Stephenville
dance in a square dance set. Let
m« tell you they put your mayor
in the spot light.
I’ll tell you. too, there is a blind
man in that county who is one of
the wonders of the world. He call-
ed and danced two sets with me.
After the diversion was given, Mr.
Rogers said: "We are going to call
the best set to the stage and this
Stephenville Mayor will take place
one in the set and we will actually
warm him. They called “The Texas
Star” and it just happened that I
went through three sets without a
bobble.
Maybe you think your mayor
didn’t have a good time. But I will
tell you that in that mignifleient
recreation hall this mayor had the j
time of his life.
They are all coming to see us
some time and what a time we
will have.
Yours affectionallv — Henry
Clark, Mayor of Stephenville.

of. her husband in tho Acrea ceme-
tery which is located within a few

Paralee Carter, daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carter,
