clothes and all fabrics perfectly, and
you will understand why it should
be in your house right away.

the department in much better shape.

AS to the proposed women detec-

employment.
About four years ago he secured a
position as a court bailiff under Sher-
if Mangum. His salary depended on
the number of days he worked, which
was never over two weeks each
month. On other days he would sub

when court was not in session, his
income was practically nothing.
On the day he was stabbed to death
he had virtually secured the position
as a regular bailiff in the court of
Judge Calhoun. 1t would have paid
him 500 monthly. This news was to

when he returned home.

had hopes of making it a productive
truck farm and later acquiring more
land.
