This action was taken after it
had been determined that the
petition had been signed by 174
qualified voters of Grimes Coun-
ty, actually four mere than the
required 170, which is ten per
cent of the 1700 ballots castin
the last general election.
The status of the application
for a petition was clarified when ’
J. A. McDaniel refiled the in-
strument on Sept. 4 as the only
signer. .
In accordance with laws of ’
the State of Texas, the court had
a ten-day leeway in setting the
date; not less than twenty days
and not more than thirty days.
The court also officially ap-
proved the new county budget
reducing J he county tax rate 10
cents per $100 valuation. The
old rate was 90 cents and the
new rate called for in the new
budget is 80 cents. The reduc-
tion was made possible through
the things that had been ac
game with Rosenberg Friday
night.

Election Calls For
Sober Thinking
(By W. R. Millar)
“Let your forbearance be
known unto all men. The Lord
is at hand.” (Philippians 4:6
American Standard Version.)
According to Webster's una-
bridged dictionary the word for-
bearance means abstinence. To
forbear means to abstain.
Drinking of alcoholic bever-
ages has become so common in
America that it has become the
number one health problem of
the country. Christian people
have so neglected to heed the
admonition to "come out from
among them and be ye separate
and touch no unclean—thing;
and I will receive you,'and will
be a Father unto- you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty” (Sec-
ond Corinthians 6:17.18/ that it

accepts' it as "the thing.”
