model throughout and is going to
be one of most complete jobs and
as good a show and show building
as can be found for miles around.
Who will raise Meridian’s first
bale or rather who will gin the first
bale of cotton in Meridian.
Eggs lower, no demand, quality
bad, poultry at a standstill, cream
steady and strong.
From all livestock reports and
crop reports there is no surplus.
Getting back on the supply and
demand basis, don’t believe its
time to sell anything short.
Everything points to a buyer’s
market.
Our stores are starting to get
in fall styles and school days are
right around the corner.
Have you taken in the Dallas
Centennial or the Fort Worth
Frontier Centennial. Put them
on your must list. It will proba-
nas or how ever they pronounce
that Casa Manana this Thursday.
And at Dallas the Doll House of
the old "It" girl is well worth see-
ing.
Cotton doing fine in Bosque.
Every day is trades day at Me-
ridian.
Several people are on the sick
.list in town.
Iredell picnic this week.
Rodeo at Clifton next week.
Our gang with a smile is getting,
alone fine. Going to crate the
next thirty days and then start
getting ready for the turkey sea-
son.
Trade where the Blue truck
calls. Meridian the old town with
new pep. -..
Tirey Appreciates Support.
I take this means of expressing
my appreciation to my friends for
their unselfish devotion and loyalty
fo me in my race for Congress. I
appreciate every one of them just
as much as if I had been elected

show my appreciation in a material
way. Sincerely,
FRANK B. TIREY.

I take this method of thanking
each and every one for their kind-

Bosque County Election Returns
Unofficial Returns of Election Held July 25, 1936:
43RD YEAR, N
-----0 ------
I believe without a doubt that
Meridian had its largest crowd
Saturday night to get the returns
of the Saturday’s election and
like all of Meridian crowds was
wonderfully behaved. Not even
an argument to mar the enjoy-
ment of the crowd’s entertain-
ment.
The election is over and I told
you that all of these candidates
were good sports. The only ques-
tion is to run it off or not to run
it off.
Folks, you don’t realize what a
job and what work a candidate
puts up with and goes through.
Besides the mental strain there is
three years of work for two years’
pay for the winner and just a pat
on the back and “better luck next
time” for the loser.
Can’t really say that I think the
office, and the pay the office pays
are worth the trouble, work, and
mental strain. The loss of friends
and the gain of other friends that
the candidates have to put up with,
bly be years before you have this
opportunity at your door again.
About this time last year the
topic of conversation was the cot-
ton tags and boy, was it a conver-
sation.
We have those ice cold melons
at all times, chilled with ice man’s
ice.
Weeks in The Run-off for
Public Weigher.
I take this method oi thanking
the voters of Precinct No. 1 for the
vote cast for me for Public Weigh-
er in last Saturday’s election,
which put me in the run-off elec-
tion to be held August 22.
I shall make another canvass
for your votes and will endeavor
to see each one of you. In the
■ meantime, will thank you to give
CANDIDATES.
TOTAL
all
my claim for the office your care-
Another first rolling around but ful consideration and will appreci-
merchants report collec-ate the favor very much if you
in other words lose or win,
candidates are still the losers.
After many starts, talk
the
and
beginnings it is now about to be-
come a fact that Shaffer is going
to do something with his pile of
stone.
Understand that the picture
show is going to be closed to re-
tions best in years.
Poultry is down again to-day
so poultry is lower and really no
demand.
We are just waiting for our
hope chest to hatch now and the
next fifteen days tells the story,
whether we make money on our
spring egg deal or lose our shirts.
If it stays dry and hot it will go
over the top but if it rains it’s just
too bad and we take what we can
get and then figure how much we
lost.
Have advance information but
don’t tell anyone that the cotton
crop looks like thirteen hundred
bales, if this means anything to
you. This is private estimation
but have found it to be reliable.
The Circus Boys are on their
way home. Played in Indiana and
Michigan the last two weeks, but
bet old Texas will look good to
them.
Going to take a day off and see
will cast your vote for me in the
election on August, 22, and if elect-
ed, assure you that I will discharge
my duties in an, efficient manner
and to your entire satisfaction.
Respectfully,
DURY WEEKS.
To the People of Bosque County:
I wish to sincerely thank the
people of Bosque County for the
splendid support given me in my
race for re-election to the office of
District Judge, and I assure you I
shall strive to repay you by giving
you the most efficient, courteous,
and honest service of which I am
capable.
Respectfully yours,
0. B. McPHERSON.
Miss Laura Porter, of Dallas,
spent the week-end with her par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Porter.
She was accompanied home by
Miss Jerre Porter who will visit in
Dallas and Ft. Worth for several
old Sally and that bunch of bana- weeks.
TRY THIS
COOKER
n Your Own
Kitchen
. On Our Three Day Free Trial Plan
TOOKING for relief from kitchen heat?
L Then try a NESCO electric cooker!.
See how much cooler and easier it makes
the task of meal preparation. Just phone
us and we’ll send one out for a three-day
free trial—absolutely without obligation
of any kind on your part.
The NESCO cooks with electrical heat-
ing elements that are built into the side-
walls and across the bottom of the cook-
ing well. It is heavily insulated so that
the heat stays inside to cook the food in-
stead of cooking the cook. It may be
used on a cool side porch or anywhere
there is an electrical outlet.
Not a "gadget,” but a practical cooking
appliance in every-day use in thousands
of homes, the NESCO is large enough to
hold a 16-lb. ham, several chickens or a
complete meal for eight people, includ-
ing meat, potatoes and two vegetables.
It roasts, bakes, stews — does everything
an oven can do — without the heat and
discomfort. Call us for a free trial today!
