At the Court House

At the Court House
 The Board of Supervisors met in regular monthly session this week and transacted routine business such as auditing demands, etc. The Clerk was authorized to re-advertise the bond issue for the Clifton schools. The voting place for the primary election was also decided upon, the lobby of the court house to be used for this purpose. Although not centrally located for the majority of the voters it was the best that could be done under the circum- stances, there being no other build ing vacant in the business part of town at this time.
 Marriage licenses were issued this week to the following: Tiburcio Maran to Maura Carrillo, Manuel Lamas to Matilde Alderete, George Hill to Luvina Sliger, Othe Johnson to George Sturgeon, Teodore Serna to Modesto Medina, Francisco Alonzo to Rosa Arm endariz.
 One new suit was filed in the Su- perior court this week entitled The American Soda Fountain Co. vs. J. L. T. Walters, of Duncan. The plaintiff is seeking to recover $500 which is claimed to be due them on a $1700 fountain they installed in the defendants drug store at Dun- can.

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form.
 Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good.
 To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oi1-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and building tonic, free from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

To Start Surveys

To Start Surveys
 At the regular meeting of the Town Council on Monday evening of this week the appointment of town en- gineer was made, A. J. Kerr secur ing the position at salary of $175 per month. MT. Kerr will start preliminary surveys at once for the contemplated improvements in the town which will include a sewer system, rev bridges, pavements, etc. The surveys will be made for the pur- pose of approXimating the cost of the improvements and give the Coun- cil line on what the actual expendi- lures will be for the work. As yet no action has been taken by the Council to provide funds for the carrying on of the construction work but it is thought that way will be found out of the difficulty and that before long the plans will be carried out. Among other things done at the meeting was the donation of $50 toward the Labor Day Celebration and the authorizing of the appoint ment of 25 extra deputies to keep order on that day.
