have changed their residence and
gone to live upon the Blackwell ranch
some twenty miles south of Granada

in home of their own, but business
arrangements in connection with the
ranch made it necessary for them to
remove. We are sorry TO lose them
from the list of Lamar citizens.
School opened Monday morning
with good attendance Miss Grif-
fifth, one OF the teachers recently en-
gagged by the school board, had ar
rived here, but received an offer
I which better suited her. and the
board very generously released her.
1t is only fair TO say that the ones.
ton of salary did not cause Miss

is the juniors, came mp Sunday TO

finally perched upon the bats of the
Lamarites, who won the game by a
score of % to 80 Harry Gadeky
and z, A. Emerson played with the
home boys for the first time and both

also the best coachers our boys have
ever had. The clubs play at Grana-
da next Sunday.
Next Saturday the republican
county convention will be held at the
court house On Thursday, in the
various precincts, the primaries will
be held and delegates selected to at
tend the convention. The primary is
a very. important factor in our cleo
ton system and everyone who can
possibly attend should go and cast a
vote for the delegates. This is the
only way of obtaining true expires
sion of the people, and if the mem
bers of a party do their duty, there
will be no opportunity for six or
eight, who have an ak to grind, to
make list of delegates to suit their
own purposes. Attend the primaries.
