It has rained so much here recently
that no accurate record ha- been re-
portod for the past week.
The bond election for Clifton is over
and was decided in favor of the major-
ity who voted—which is democratic
and correct.
The old home of Daniel Boone is
said to be falling to pieces, after with-
standing the elements for one hundred
and ninety-two years.
There are located in Bosque County
•three highways. They are the Moiid-
j inn Highway, extending from Winni-
peg, Canada, to the City of Mexico;
■the International Peace Highway, ex-
tending from Quebec, Ontario, to the
City of Mexico, ami the Scenic High-
i way extending from Fort Worth south
| to the Gulf. Work along this road
through Bosque County is rapidly be-
ing completed. It is being straight-
ened in places, the unfinished stretches
j graveled and permanent concrete
I structures placed across streams. The
1 route has been sign posted and the
names of all towns and rivers placed
in conspicious places. The roads lead-
j ing into Clifton are being made better
i all the time. Try them. *

Three of the proposed bond issues for■
the city were voted by big majorities j
last Tuesday and the fourth, and some,
think the main one, the sewer bonds,
^were defeated by only a small major-!
ity of 19 votes. The last named issue
will be voted by our people in the.
near future, some think, and all the,
whole citizenship will agree that it^
would be a great thing for Clifton
or any other town that could afford it.,
Think it over and get ready to vote;
again soon. j

A poor little country newspaper
editor has a hard time getting by
when an election is pulled off. If he
stands for or against anything that
is proposed for the town and com-
munity he is disliked by those who
think differently from his views, and
if he should fail to take a stand on
one side or the other he is branded
as a coward, and is disliked by both
factions. Sometimes just after each
voting day when many are displeased
with the results, as is always the
case, some feel that a new newspaper
should be established to thdr liking.
But when the next election came
around that new paper and that new
editor might act a big fool and stand
for something that a great many good
people would dislike. So life is just
one thing after another, and it looks
like we can not all be pleased with the
same thing at the some time.
