CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED
J. G. N. Tanner, a prominent
farmer and ranchman of near
Meridian, was in Clifton Tues-
day, and said he had five head of
cattle missing since the big over-
flow of the Bosque River. He
rad heard of one of them sever
al miles below, but had not found
it.
Mat Thomas, of the Mosheim
community, was transacting bus-
iness in Clifton Monday, and
called and renewed his Record
subscription another year. Mr.
Thomas likes Clifton as a trad-
While the Bosque river was up
and the Santa Fe pumping sta-
tion was out of commission, the
city officials furnished water for
the engine by running water in-
to their tank with a fire hose
from the main near by. It is
not bad policy for the city and
railroad officials to work to each
others interest.
Houston Weatherby was
struck in the right eye by a small
piece of iron Hying off while
working on the railroad section,
Wednesday. It was a painful
wound, and he was accompanied
to Temple yesterday, by the
company’s physician, Dr. C. M.
Moore, for treatment in the hos-
pital.
County Superintendent, C. L.
Batson and wife were down from
Meridian yesterday. Mr. Bat-
son has served the people one
year by appointment in a most
satisfactory manner, and now
wants them to vote for him in
in the coming primary.
One of the large Santa Fe en
gines was left in the yards here
last Saturday evening in care of
a watchman, and from some
cause the oil caught fire from
too much flow, and considerable
damage was done to the cab be-
fore the Clifton Fire Company
could extinguish it, notwith-
standing their quick work.
Geo. M. Ammons, who has
been a prominent oitijen of
Bosque county for many years,
and has taughtachool at Cranfills
Gap, Cayote and other places in
the county, but is at present on
his farm a few miles east of Clif-
ton, was in Clifton yesterday
and called and authorized the
Record to announce him as a
candidate for Tax Collector, sub-
ject to the action of the Demo-
cratic Primary, July 25
story of the old Water Mill.
Considerable damage was done
to crops in the Bosque Valleys.
Many cattle, horses, and hogs
have been reported lost.
All the people in Old Clifton
were compelled to move their
families out on higher ground.
The beautiful place of E. S.
Parks, near the Santa Fe pump-
ing station, which was thought
to be well protected by a levy,
was badly damaged, and this
levy precaution seemed to be
of little benefit.
It is hoped that the damage to
the crops is not as bad as first
thought and reported, as the
wheat and oats were at an age to
come out deceivingly, as was the
■corn crop, and if the cotton was
a total loss1 there is time yet for
it to be replanted.
J. M. Fields, a prominent citi
zen of the Fairy community,
sends us a check this week for
$2.75, to pay two years subscrip-
tion to the Record and one for
The Dallas News.
C. E. Wiederaenders reports
the overflow from the river did
considerable damage to his truck
garden, but not as much as
might be expected, and thinks he
will be able to continue to furnish
the people of Clifton with vege
tables which will be good news to
hi* customers who were depend-
ing on him and were under the
impression that the water had
almost totally destroyed the
garden.
This section of the country
was visited almost daily last
week by heavy rains, and for
two days, Friday and Saturday,
the Bosque river was raging and
most of the time out of its banks.
Old settlers say it was higher
than it has been at any time
since 1899, when it was 12 or 18
inches higher than it was at this
time. The water only liked be-
tween one and two feet running
into the windows in the upper
Methodist Church Services.
All the children of the Sunday
School are especially urged to be
present next Sunday morning at
9:45; we have some new features
of the work to be introduced, one
of which will be the “Messenger
Cadet Service.” At the eleven
o’clock hour the subject will be
“The Child’s Relation to the
Kingdom of God.” Parents are
especially urged to be present
Evening service at 7:45. An op-
portunity will be given to those
who wish to, unite with the
church, at the morning hour.
Very truly,
Neal W. Turner. Pastor.

Nothing better
—Oscar J. Rea A Co.
Hon. Jed C. Adams, candidate
for Elector at large on the Bai-
ley ticket, spoke in the Reeder
Hall here last Tuesday night to
a large crowd composed of ladies,
and Bailey and anti-Bailey men.
But, unfortunately to him and
those desiring to hear his speech
finished, the fire broke out when
he was not more than half
through.
When a public speaker comes
to Clifton to make an address he
receives the most courteous
treatment and the best of atten-
tion. People of Clifton are well
raised and have enough respect
for themselves and those who
come to address them to do the
right thing.
