COMMISSIONERS COURT AP-
POINTS ELECTION OFFICERS
At the session of the commission-
ers court which adjourned last Sat-
urday, Eugene I»ng was appointed
to fill a vacancy in the office of
public weigher in Precinct No. 7.
The appointment holds good until
the next general election.
The question of building Parker
county’s portion of Highway No. 10.
which traverses the southeastern
pari of the county was before the
court. This highway starts at Fort
Worth and runs through the comer
of the county to Granbury and then
on west to Van Horn on the Mexi-
can border. There is about live
miles of the highway in Parker coun-
ty and the court passed an Order
to build this piece of road provided
the highway department would hear
all the cost.
The returns of Ihe election held in
school district No. 69, hel.d in Feb-
ruary were canvassed. The question
voted on was whether the district
would levy a special tax of 50 cents
on the 8100.00 to supplement the
, state school funds. The election car-
ried on a vqte of 10 for and 6
against.
The election officers for the en-
suing two years were appointed as
follows, the first named under each
precinct, to be the presiding officer:

cannot hide from Him, nor is ‘any-

What preparation shall we make?
First ’we must, examine and know

We must realize our sinfulness,
feel the need of a Savior from sin,
and repent. We must confess our
sins to God, beleiving that if- we
confess. He is faithful to forgive.
And we piust accept and confess
Jesus as our Savior; and then, hav-.
