their entertainment was thoroughly

After the wedding, the little bride
presented the bride-to-be many gifts,
with the following rhyme:
“You are so very near to us,
You are so very dear to us,
That all we ask, your whole life
through,
Is happiness, Florene, for you.”
When the many dainty and useful
presents had been admired by the

TO OUR CUSTOMERS:
After thirteen years of continuous
service it seems imperative that we
take a vacation, hence we are asking
you for a two weeks leave of absence.
The only way we can have a vacation
at this time is to close the bakery,
which we regret to do, but we feel
that we can come back and serve you
more efficiently after taking some
needed rest and outdoor life.
Accordingly we will close our bak-
ery Saturday night, Aug. 22nd and re-
open Monday, Sept. 7th, at which time
we shall be glad to cater to your needs
in our usual prompt way. We appre-
ciate your past business and solicit
it in the future.

New York, Aug. 16.—A family po-
litical feud of fifty-two years was
settled Sunday when Col. Roscoe S.
Conklin, cousin of the famed Senator,
and Mrs. Helen Walker Homan,
grandniece of James G. Blaine, joined
forces in the Progessive R epublican
Committee for Roosevelt. It was Conk-
lin’s fierce opposition which cost
Blaine the Presidency in 1884.

Mrs. Claude Goodall of Waco was

Standefer, and with a number of

The Record feels very grateful to
the many people who are kind enough
to mail in and deliver in person many
items of news each week for publi-
cation. Patrons of the paper are get-
ting better about doing this very
thoughtful and much appreciated act
all the time, and we want them to
know it is a big help and has much
to do with making the paper more
readable and interesting. There are
still a number of people in the com-
munity who seemingly forget to men-l
tion their guests, and quite often for
that reason it is impossible to get
such news unless the item is turned in.

ing back to it as the only hope and
help in the midst of desperate times.
The churches of our community are

have. Go to them, work in them, give

EXTRA GOOD JERSEY COW
Five years old, calf born Wednesday
of this week. Better than five gallon
milker at best. Good disposition and
milks easy. Will sell reasonable if sold
this week.—Robert L. Baldridge.
This is my last opportunity before
the balloting to erpress again my
deep and sincere appreciation for the
confidence displayed in me by the cit-
izens of this district evidenced in the
first prifnary.
I led the ticket in Johnson County,
my old home, where I spent most of
the years of my youth; I received 71
per cent of the votes in Somervell
County, my present home and that of
my family; my opponent received ap-
proximately 56 per cent of the votes
in Bosque County, where I was sec-
ond, and where he and his family have
resided always and from which he
says he was drafted.
I am running on my own merits and
not upon the demerits of anyone. I am
proud of my family, but if I am
elected as your representative, I and
no one else will serve you.
I stand for a constructive program,
having in mind the common welfare,
first of the people in my district, then
of our state in its entirety.
I have no alliance that could'in any
sense entangle or embarrass me in
the future and shall view all measures
from unbiased vantage point
I solicit your support and votes in
Saturday’s primary and renew my
assurance of appreciation of confidence
shown, and trust that as your repre-
sentative in the legislature, I shall
justify it to the fullest extent.
Sincerely,
ltc JACK LANGDON.
