rado where she and Mr. Reid
have been spending the summer
months. They were traveling
through the country in their car
and when they reached Fort
Worth Mr. Reid was told not to
try this route on account of the
heavy rains and mud, and went
another route home, leaving his
wife to travel home on the train.
CLOTHES
SAFETY
Just as wood pulp is made to
look like leather, so is “shoddy”
manipulated to resemble wool,
and jute to seem like linen, and
cotton given the sheen of silk.
If you don’t know fabrics,
you should know the standard
of the manufacturer of the
clothing you buy.
The cloth in every suit we sell
is exactly what it seems to be—
worsted, mohair, flannel, linen,
cotton—without gloss or deceit.
We have a wonderful line of
imported and domestic woolens
for autumn and winter suits,
Tailored ot Your Measure.

In the daily papers of last
Sunday Clifton friends were in-
formed ihat Mr. J. W. Butler
of this city had been elected vice
president of the Texas Bank and
Trust Company of Galveston,
and began his duties with that
institutioif on October the first.
Mr. Butler in 1916-1917was pres-
ident of tne Texas Bankers' As-
sociation, is now vice president
of the State bank section, A-
merican Bankers’ Association,
and has been closely identified
with progressive moves in Tex-
as bankdom since 1895, when he
established the Clifton bank. He
was secretary of the Texas
Bankers’ Association from 1901
to 1906. His new work will be
as head or the Galveston Bank’s
new department of banks and
bankers. It is sincerely hoped
by Clifton friends that Mr. But-
ler’s duties will be such on his
new “job” that he and his esti-
mable family may stil continue
to make Clifton their home.
SCOUT NOTES
The tent show proved more popular
than the Scout meeting. This is to be
regretted, as a bad start means a poor
year’s work.
Next Saturday night the Troop will
consider Us new constitution and by-
laws.
Some Of these by-laws will be rath-
er strict. Every Scout should be pres-
ent to express his opinion and to see
just what is to be expected of him.

J. M. Hickey and brother are
here from Waco. They are just
back from ‘ Stephens county
where they closed a deal for con-
siderable acreage that will be
put in the Comanche Home Oil
Co. No. 2. Mr. Hickey has many
friends in Clifton who are al-
ways glad to see him, and many
of them are taking stock in his
new company on account of the
success of the other company he
promoted here, and they feel
that with him they will get a
i “square deal.”
Having bought the Poulson
restaurant next door to the First
Guaranty State Bank, and being
highly pleased with the splendid
patronage we are receiving from
the public, we shall strive to give
the best possible service at all
times. Remember we get fresh
shipments of oysters twice a
week, Tuesdays and Fridays,
and have them^on hand most
every day. You will find these
oysters of the best quality at all
times, as they are the celebrated
Houma oyster. When you want
service in the restaurant line
