IF FIRE should destroy
your property, how muph
would you lose? Or would
your insurance really make
good your loss? Would
your claims be handled
promptly and satisfactor-
ily?
These questions about
your insurance are so vital
and can only be answered
correctly by an agent who
thoroughly knows the de-
tails of the insurance busi-
ness.

Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Gordon, for-
merly of Cleburne, but most recently
of Decatur, where he was local man-
ager of the Barnes & McCauley
Store, last week moved to Clifton to
make their home, Mr. Gordon assum-
ing the management of the Barnes
& McCauley store here, succeeding
Mr. D. M. Walls, who started as man-
ager but left on Wednesday of last
week to see about another position
in south Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon
are welcome citizens to our town, and
it is hoped that they will like the
town and entire citizenship.

Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Parker and ba-
by daughter this week moved to
Farmersville where Mr. Parker was
transferred by the Community Pub-
lic Service Co. from this place. The
move was considered a promotion
with possibly more pay; however, the
many Clifton friends of the Parkers
think it unfair for them to be taken
away from here for any reason. They
were classed among the best folks
that we have ever had and notwith-
standing the fact that the move may-
be the best for them financially, their
many friends here are just selfish
enough to regret their being moved.
Mr. Parker is possibly one of the
most efficient men the company has
ever had and his many years of tin-
tiring and faithful work with the
company here has justly earned for
him the promotion. He not only gets
better pay, it is understood, at his
new location with the same company,
but gets two positions instead of one.
He has the same work as district
man with responsibilities over She

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hyde and chil-
dren returned home the first of the

valley of south Texas, where they

Mrs. A. H. Winnett and daughter,
Ola Mae; Mrs. M. L. Wallace and
sons, Poe Preston and Windle, spent

dorff, respectively, and other rela-
tives and friends.
MAGAZINE CLUB
Mrs. Alphonso Mitchell was hostess
Tuesday afternoon, January 5th at
three o’clock for the members of the
Magazine Club.
During the short business session
presided over by the president, Mrs.
Allison Miller, the following commit-
tees were appointed: Nominating,
Mmes. W. D. Nuckols, G. E. McCaleb,
L. E. Tennison. Study, Mmes. Phil
Gilliam, O. G. Collins, Buster Graves.
Two new books were added to the
club’s circulating library. The meet-
ing was then turned over to the lead-
er for the afternoon, Mrs. O. L.
Stuart, who conducted the members
on a very interesting trip thru parts
of Africa. The following topics were
ably given:
“Three Great Men of Africa”—
Mrs. George Busch.
“African Mines”—Mrs. N. W. Wil-
lett.
“Negro Spirituals”—Mrs. Allison
Miller.
Dainty refreshments were served
to nineteen members. The club will
meet Tuesday, January 19th with
Mrs. Buster Graves as hostess.
SON MADE SECRETARY
Washington, Jan. 1.—James Roos-
evelt will be the first president’s
son to serve his father as a secretary
since the days of Andrew Jackson,
as far as old-timers at the White
House could ascertain today.
Andrew Jackson Donaldson, an
adopted son, filled that position for
“Old Hickory” more than 100 years
ago.
James, the president's eldest son,
said he would not be a full-fledged
secretary. The only vacancy of that
rank is the post held by the late
Louis McHenry Howe, and James ex-
pressed the belief his job would not
be that important.
James will occupy the offices re-
cently vacated by Stephen T. Early,
press secretary, who moved into
Howe’s old quarters.
Miss Mildred Stryker, who just re-
cently finished her business course in
a Fort Worth business college, is now
at home and is employed in the cler-
ical department of the Farmers State
Bank, and her many friends believe
it will be another case of a home-
town girl making good.
Fanners ville district is much small-
er and more compact, his first posi-
