J. Westley Clements, a most
highly prized employe of this pa
per for some months past, re-
signed his place in the mechani -
cal department last week and on
Friday, December 1. returned to
Hamilton to resume his work
with the Record; a position he
had previously held for five years.
By returning to Hamilton Mr.
Clements is given an ouportunity
to learn to operate a machine,
which is no doubt the thing for
an ambitious young man to do
since it will make him the more
valuable as a newspaper man.
Mr. Clements declared upon his
word of honor that he did not
love Mr. Peck, the editor of the
Hamilton paper any better than
he does us, even though Jie is al
so a lit subject as a winner in
the coming Fat Stock Show, and
with that wo agree to let him go,
since it was impossible to keep
him longer.
J. Lee Smith of route two, the
noted turkey raiser who took ev
ery prize with his tine turkeys at
the Cotton Palace this year, was
in town Monday attending to
business. Mr. Smith’s oldest
daughter came near dying last
week with a severe attack of ap-
pendecitis. Since the operation
she is on the improve aud if no
further complications come up
the doctors feel sure that she
will recover. Mr. Smith said
his wife requested him to sub-
scribe for the record and Dallas
News—hence his check for $1.75
was forthcoming while lie was
here.
A. P. Con and family are here
this week from Oklahoma the
guests of their nephews, Roy
and Eiwood Lovelady. Mr! Oo^c
moved away from the Cayote
community thirteen years ago
and has a number of old time
friends over this section. He in-
timated that he might come to
Clifton to make his home and get
thoi benefits ohour splendid pub-
lic scnool if he could rent a house
for his family.

Christmas
Christmas will soon be here.
Be prepared. You are better
’able to reflect the spirit of the
season if you are becomingly
dressed. A hand tailored suit,
made out of all wool fabrics, cut
and fitted to your individual
measure, will enhance your ap-
pearance and add force to your
Christmas greeting.
There’s something to it, when
the well dressed man says, Mer-
ry Christmas.
