NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
During the past, as Clifton has been
(without an attorney most of the time,
the banks have done much of the deed
writing and other work which should
properly have been performed by an
attorney. We feel that this gratis
work has always been appreciated by
the public.
We realize that the banks have nev-
er been able to render as competent
service in this line as a competent
attorney could have rendered, and
since Mr- Archie C. Price, who comes
to Clifton well recommended by the
Waco bar, is thoroughly competent to
handle this work in a satisfactory
manner at a reasonable cost, we there-
fore recommend him to you as a com-
petent person to handle this character
of work, as well as any other legal
matters which you may have.

I MR. AND MRS. BETTIS HAVE
TAUGHT EIGHTY-TWO YEARS
The following news item appeared
in the Waco News-Tribune one day
last week.
Clifton, Feb. 23.—Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Bettis, of Clifton, are pioneer
teachers of this section of the state.
The two together have taught a total
of 82 years, Mr. Bettis having taught
46 years and Mrs. Bettis 36. As an
evidence that this teaching has been
in a high order is the fact that nearly
all of it has been done in three ad-
joining counties—Bosque, Hill and
Johnson. Mr. Bettis began his work
at Alvarado, in Johnson county, and
taught in and around that place for
nineteen years.
It was while teaching there he met
and married Mrs. Bettis, who was
Miss Ora Lee Sansome, primary teach-
er in the same school.
After leaving Johnson county, Mr.
Bettis’ work, with the exception of one
year at Granbury, has been spent as
superintendent of schools at Clifton.
Morgan and Bium. He resigned the
superintendency of Blum two years
ago and retired from active service,
but still devotes much of his time to
reading and studying school problems
and keeps fully abreast of the edu-
cational times.
Mrs. Bettis taught most of the time
in schools with Mr. Bettis, but at dif-
ferent times has been superintendent
of schools at Morgan, Blum and Os-
ceola. She is still active in the ser-
vice, teaching eleven months out of
the year. During the regular term
she is teacher of English in Clifton
high school and in the summer teaches
