The Telephone Situation
After investigating fully the amount
of damage to the telephone system,
Mr. R. A. Whitcomb states it will cost
$1000 to put it into workable condition,
nearly all wires and most of the posts
being down, every phone is out of
commission as well as all long dist-
ance service. Mr. Whitcomb states
further that the present owners of
the Company have definitely decided
that they will not rebuild. They are
willing to give up their franchise and
sell for cash all telephone materials
now owned by the company for $500
to either an individual or a stock com-
pany or they will let this same amount
of material go for $750 worth of stock
in a community stock company, pro-
vided there is at least $1000 additional
capital added. B. A. Whitcomb owns
one-half interest in the present com-
pany. teh remaining interest is owned
by the heirs of the O. M. Whitcomb
estate. This telephone system gave
service to Riviera, to Raffins Bay, to
Vattman and to Riviera Reach and it
is an aboslute necessity that tele-
phone service be supplied to this sec-
tion and it is suggested that several
representatives from all these places
meet at the Riviera Community Hall
on Friday night January 8th to dis-
cuss what will be the best way to se-
cure a* telephone system.
Community Club Meeting
The next meeting of the community
club will be Friday nights January 8.
People from nil over the tract are
urged to be present so that the tele-
phone situation may be thoroughly un-
derstood. An interesting program Is
provided.
Lloyd Gardner Is Dead
Lloyd Gardner died at the hospital
in Kingsville on December 31 at 1 p.
m., and was buried at the Riviera
cemetery at 10 a. m. January 1. The
services at the Methodist church and
at the cemetery were conducted by
Rev. Ruchanan of Kingsville, who
based his words of consolation on
those portions of Scripture that prove
there is a resurrection of the dead
and that we shall know each other in
heaven. Lloyd was the oldest child of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gardner. He was
born in Wolf City, Texas, and was
29 years old. He came from there to
Riviera with his parents on January
1, 1913, and has lived here since that
time. The relatives from out of town
who came to attend the funeral were
Lenis and Stewart Gardner, Mr, Good-
man of Wolf City and Mr. and Mrs.
P. C. Cornelius of Kingsville. All busi-
ness houses were closed Friday morn-
ing and there were no New Year’s
celebrations of any kind this week, the
hearts of the Riviera people were too
sad and too full of sympathy for the
relatives of Lloyd Gardner.

Quick Way to Stop
Night Coughing
New Method In
Remarkably Effective
No need to put up with that distress-
ing, weakening, sleep-robbing night
cough another night. For there is a
simple but very effective treatment
which, usually with a single dose, stop ;
all irritation and lets you sleep soundly
the whole night through.
This treatment is based on the pre-
scription known as Dr. King's New
Discovery for Coughs. You take just
one teaspoonful at night before retir-
ing and hold it in your throat for 15 or
20 seconds lx-forc sw allowing it. The
prescription has a double action. It not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but it quickly removes the
phlegm and congestion which are the
direct cause of night coughing. So the
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
all night undisturbed.
Dr. King’s New Discovery is for
coughs.chest colds,sore throat, hoarse-
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc.
Fine for children as well as grown-
ups—no harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon-
ful. At all good druggists. Ask for
