to spend $l20, 900 in its develop.
ment, innocently and in good

The McKinneys have appealed
with full confidence of success
before the Court of Appeals.
They claim that nothing but fif.
teen years adverse possession can

A Better Clay City

The time has come when the
women of Clay City feel the need
of better town, better people,
a cleaner town and the improve.
ment of all the existing condi-
tiops.
On Wednesday, June Goth, at
2: 30 PM, twenty of the ladies
met at the home of Mrs. L. q.
White to discuss the problems of
the town and to complete the
organization of a Civic League.
A short time ago this movement
was started and some were lit.
tie afraid but when they began
to think of their town and of its
needs no one wanted to drop
out but continue the fight for
improvement.
The first hour of this meeting
was taken up explaining the or
ganlzation and the great work of
such a movement, followed by
the election of officers and com.
mittees and IA round table dis.
cussion. Many questions were
asked and many things brought
up for examination then and
later to be investigated.
With a mem bership of twenty
charter members, each charter
mepb Der become a membership
committee and it is hoped that
the next meeting will see the
number doubled. Every citizen
of ClayCity eventually will be
one of these willing workers do
ing his or her bit to make a bet
ter town. These ladies realize
that it is thru organized bodies
great work can be done and .hey
ask the cooperation of the City
Council and the people in their
efforts.
Too much can not be said
about the interest shown at this
meeting and time will show what
these ladies are doing for the
betterment of their town and for
the young boys and girls.

For Representative.

Attorney Clarence Miller, of
Irvine, will have no opposition in
the primary for the Republican
nomination for Representative
from this district, composed of
Powell and EstilI. Neither will
he have any opponent in the
Democratic ranks since any Dem
ocrat failed to register as can
didate in time to get on the pri.
mary ballot.
Mr.. Miller is a splendid man
for the place and the fact that
his party in his home county
made the track clear for him to
get the nomination is good evi.
dence of how he stands within
his party. And the further fact
that as. it is Estill's time to name
the Democratic nominee and it
has failed to put up any against
HIM, only shows how he is held
by the opposing party.
At any rate We are looking for
ward to Mr.. Miller as a most
worthy successor to K. b. Nc
Clone, the gentleman from Pow
ell who so ably represented the
district during two sessions of the
Legislature when temptations to
ordinary men were so great that
many of them were absorbed by
certain interests. But not SO
with McGlone, he maintained a
clear record.
