success.
Get your Chautauqua tickets from
the young ladies who are working
so faithfully selling them.
Clifton does not have the opportu-

qua entertainment often; so let’s
make this one a big success in every
way.

the pet dogs in Fort Worth fiave been
killed on account of the recent rabies

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Helm re-
turned home last Friday from San

camping and fishing.
T. T. Tergerson and son, Conley
Tergerson, of route two. Meridian,
were in Clifton yesterday with a load
of wool for the younger Tergerson.
Our good friend, T. T. made the Rec-
ord a pleasant visit and had his name
put back on the list as a regular
reader for the next twelve months,
which made us happy again.
The citizens of Clifton have been
getting their water from the large
tank on the mountain west o# town
for more than a week. The people
on higher ground now have the same
pressure as those near the pumping
station. The new pump has been in-
stalled which pumps the water di-
rect from the pumping station at the
wells to the large tank on the hill.
There is hardly a city in the entire
State that has a water system as
good as ours, and our artesian water
is the very best as to purity and qual-
ity. It is-our wonderful water system
that has reduced our fire insurance
rates many hundreds of dollars an-
nually.

Craig M. Logan was in from his
ranch last Friday looking after busi-
ness interest. He had just finished
delivering his wool crop for this sea-
son that he was fortun^c enough to
have contracted at fifty cents pel
pound with other wool growers at an
early date, as the pirce is much lower
now, we are told. Mr. Logan said he
had sold products from his sheep this
season to the amount of seven thou-
sand five hundred dollars, and now
had one hundred and twenty-five
more sheep than he started with. Craig
was feeling so good over the nice re-
ceipts of his sheep crpp that he called
and left his check with the Record
for another year's good reading mat-
ter. We wish every reader of the
Record was just as prosperous and
Uypy as our good friend Logan.

that parties remembered seeing a
truck on the church yard early one
evening, but never thought but what
someone was there for business per-
taining to the needs of the church
until the theft was reported.
