In Linwood softly sleeping,
 Where the flowers gently wave, Lies the one we loved so dearly,
 In his lonely, silent grave. He will never be forgotten,
 Never shall his memory fade. Sweetest thoughts will always finger
 Around the grave where he is laid.
 Gone but not forgotten by his Mother, Father. Brother and Sisters.

RECALLERS WILL
STAGE COMEBACK
AGAINST MAYOR

against Mayor Paine and the four
city commissioners will be filed late
Wednesday, James r. Bickers, at
torney for the recallers announced.
A total Of 4,275 names were added to
the petitions by the committees
working at each polling precinct,
which number, with the approximate
1000 names left on the original pe-
titions will bring the grand total to
5,S75 names, or more than rs per
cent of the total votes cast in the
last city election.
I'VE will file the supplemental pc
titions some time Wednesday,
Bickers said. "They contain total
of 4.G75 names added during Tues
days election. All the names at
tached Tuesday were put on the Pc
titions by voters who had just cast
their ballots in the election and there
can be no question as TO their valid
ity.
I'VE are not Conceding for an in
stant that we have only 1900 valid
signatures on the original petitions
for We know we filed at least 5000
good signatures, but even figuring
only 1900 names, the additional
names which we will file today will
bring the total beyond the required
number"
When the supplemental petitions
are filed with the city clerk he is,
under the law, allowed ten days in
which to examine them and check
against the poll tax and registration
BOOKS and theu must certify his find
ing to the commission if the required
