ful than words can express for the
vote given me, placing me in the run-
ofT. I wish to assure everyone that I
a have the kindest regards for those
supporting either of the other five
candidates for the office of sheriff in
the first primary. I recognize the right
way of "every person to support whomso-
ever they may choose in a political
race. I shall, of course, be glad and
deeply appreciative if those who sup-
ported others in this race will give me
their support in the run-off primary
to be held Saturday, August 22nd.
Anyhow, I ask that they investigate
carefully my qualifications for the of-
fice of sheriff in any way they may
choose. I have resided in this section
practically all of my life; therefore,
it will be an easy matter to ascertain
whatever information you may desire
concerning my life and qualifications
as a peace officer.
Again extending thanks for the
support given me in the first primary
and asking the influence and vote of
everyone who feels kindly towards my
candidacy to give me their support
and vote in the run-off.
Sincerely yours,
ltc DAVE MONTGOMERY.

HOLBROOK-BRONSTAD
Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Walton made
announcement this week of the mar-
riage of their daughter, Mrs. Louise
Walton Holbrook to Mr. Clyde Bron-
stad. The wedding ceremony was sol-
emnized in the Lutheran church at
Waco on Sunday, July 19.
The young couple spent their honey-
moon in Galveston, and in traveling
through the coast country. They are
now at home in Cranfllls Gap, where
Mr. Bronstad is successfully engaged
in the grocery business. At present
they are occupying apartments in the
Meeks home, but Mr. Bronstad plans
to build a beautiful new home in the
near future.
Mrs. Bronstad, the former Miss
Louise Walton of Hamilton, is a mem-
ber of the faculty of the' Cranfills Gap
public school, one of the best insti-
tutions in this section of the state.
She entered the school last year as a
teacher and was re-elected. She is
highly educated, being a graduate of
the North Texas State Teachers Col-
lege and well trained for her work,
and is univeraslly popular in Cran-
fills Gap and surrounding country.
She is gracious in manner, and is at-
tractively accomplished and is a
charming addition to Cranfills Gap
society circles.
The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
G. O. Bronstad, one of the represent-
ative families of long time residence
in Cranfills Gap. He is successful in
business and is highly esteemed by a
legion of friends to whom his new
happiness is of utmost importance.
Attesting to the popularity of Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Bronstad, Mrs. Bin-
ous Tindall entertained in her attrac-
tive home on Monday afternoon, July
27, with an elaborately planned gift
shower. The hostess was assisted in
her courtesy by Mrs. Cora Nelson Har-
ris, of Clifton, who entertained the
guests with a cleverly arranged pro-
gram of music during the reception
hours when some one-hundred friends
called and added to the prized pos-'
sessions of the delighted bride numer-
ous beautiful and useful gifts for out-
fitting her home for housekeeping. A
bevy of lovely young girls served ice
cream and date loaf wafers to the
guests.
Among the guests were a group
from Hamilton including Mrs. Aubrey
Walton, sister of the bride; Mrs. E. B.
Moore, Mrs. C. E. Horton and Mrs.
