compel him to pay county war
rants issued by the County Com
missioners for officers salaries.

court held in the fifth finding
that there is no presumption in
law that a county official shall
receive a salary and in the sixth
finding it states that such salary
is dependent upon legislative en-

ing that all the county officers
will file mandamus proceedings.

Mayor Oldham to Leave

Is il with very much regret
that the News learns of the con-
templated departure within a
few days of Mayor d. B. Old
ham a n d his most estimable
family for Dallas. Texas, where
Mr.. Oldham has accepted a lu-
crative position with large
mercantile firm. Some six
months ago, or longer, Mr.. Old.
ham severed his connection with
The First National Bank, and
has since been arranging his
personal affairs in order to ac-
cept the above mentioned po-
sition.
Mr.. Oldham came to Clovis in
its infancy and established the
First National Bank, which he
built up to be one of the strong
est financial institutions in this
section of the country. He mas
been identified with all progress
i've movements, which would
serve for the betterment and
up-bujlaing of the city an d
country. We feel safe in saying
without fear of successful con-
tradiction. that he has been the
most public-spirited of all our
citizens, and has spent more
time and money for the advance
ment of the interests of our
town than any man in it. He is,
at present, Mayor of this city,
President o f the Chamber of
Commerce. President # the
Board of Education and Presi-
dent of the Cooperative Com
mercial Clubs Of West Texas
and Eastern New Mexico. AMI
has held many positions of trust
in the past. exemplifying the
confidence and trust that the
people of Clovis have reposed in
him. No citizen has done more
for this town. and likewise none
has received greater honors.
The people of Clovis will join
the News in expressing reg ret
at his departure and will wish
him and his good family the
good fortunes to which they are |
justly entitled.
