nouncement means that he will not
run for reelection in the House, and
that if he loses in the Senatorial
race, he will no longer be member
of either house.
Government officials believe that
Blanton will lose in his race for the
Senate, but even if he wins, they
believe he will not have the time or
the inclination in the Senate to delve
into the personal investigations in
the same way he has as member
of the House.
This inclination on Blanton s part
to ''investigate' any official at any
time who crosses his path has kept
more than one Government official
awake at night during recent years.
This is particularly true since his
famous investigation of District Com.
missioner Frederick A. Fenning. the

Other officials who at one time or
another incurred the wrath of the
Texas Representative are Col. c. O..
Sheriff., former director OF public
buildings and parks; DR.. William A.
White, superintendent of St. Eliza
beth's Hospital, and more recently,
Herbert D. Brown, chief of the
Bureau of Efficiency, with whom
BIanton is now at odds.
At the same time. there are
many officials and clerks who re-
gret BIantons decision and would
dislike to see him out of Con-
gress. because the Texan is as
famous a defender as a prosecutor.
He has been particularly friendly
with policemen and firemen who
believed they were being unfairly
treated. He led the fight for the
restoration of rank to Inspector
Albert J. Headley. and he is now
an ardent friend of Assistant Traf-
fic Director M o. Eldridge, who
was denoted after the traffic light
scandal.

The Over and Mail
A Short Hitory of the Progress
Made in the Methods of
Transporting the Mails
During the Century

The first regular postoffice
IN this county was established
during the Revolutionary war
for the purpose of keeping the
.~aople advised as to the prog
rates were r1gII anu ov11o4.-~>~~-
practically the same down to
the year 1916, the rate for
letter being twenty-five cents
for four hundred and fifty
miles or over. Little progress
was made during this period
in the transportation of the
mails, and the amount of mail
per capita was very small COM
pared with the present. Hors-
es were used almost exclusive
ly on the post routes, though
coastwise vessels usually car
ried the mails between the
larger ports. Many routes We're
covered by mounted horsemen,
who were exposed throughout
the attacks Of bandits and nu :
merous cher dangers, Valuable
mails were never safe in tram
sit and very little of value was
sent in this way. 1t required a
week for the coaches ON the
main routes to cover the dis
lance now traversed by a mail
train in a single night, or mail
plane in two ours.
Tnree things contributed to
raise the service from the prim
tive state to it's present eff
cheney in a single generation
namely: the reduction of post
age rates, the introduction OF
railroads and the invention OF
the postal car or railway post
offices. Later the introduction
of air mail. The safe and swift
transmission of the vast guam
tity of mail may be said tc
show more than any Other
one thing, the superiority Of
modern faculties over those Of
our fathers.

Mayor Proclaims This
Week Clean-Up-Week

= The time of yer is here fo1
cleaning up, shining up, anc
bracing up. The urge ond the
surge of new life is in evidence
everwhere-in seed and leaf
and plant and flower. Nature is
putting off the dull gray of
comatose for the brighter
shaded of spring and summer.
Let us invite nature, at least
in a small degree, ond MAXI our
town a clean, healthful and at
tractive place, free from flies,
filth, pig pens, and decaying
garbage as we ore able to make
it.
A stranger coming into. town
is probably more impressed by
the neatness and attractiveness
of the streets than by the cost
ly buildings. If advertising pays
as most concede, clean streets
are O better advertisement than
filthy ones.
A cleanup truck has been
running already and will con-
tinue to run until the streets
AMI alleys are thoroughly cltan-
ed.
But the most serious prob
lem is how SHALL we keep them
clean. 1t is an impossible task
so long as folks swetp out ond
throw down on the streets all
qinds of litter instead of car
rying it away where it can be
burned.
1t is really not necessary to
build the pig pen in the front
yard as an evidence of sociabil-
ity or to leave all kinds of
woste in front of our business
places to advertise the quality
of our wares.
What we are trying to stress
is qeeping our premises and
luciness fronts clean. May we

section OR front free of waste
and litter and your nelghbor is
likely to do SO too, so powerful

DAVID MEADE
PASSES AWAY

On April Z, 1928 David Meade
departed thins life and passed
ON to his reward in the g.t.ar
beyond. He lived just south
west of Clintwood, about two
miles. He was the son of Jack
son and Nancy Meade of Rus
SILL county. He was born June
l, 1858 and moved to- Dickinson
county obout 1885, bought land
and settled where his home
now stands, and where he died.
HIT married Nancy Baugh of
Russell county and to this I'M
ion was born seven children:
Prof. Marshall T. Meade, Will
liam Meade, Mrs. Polly Haw-
kins, Lucy, Cassie and Alfred
Meade and ont girl who died
quite young.
Shortly after moving to this
county Mr.. Meade was CO. v Z,
ed in a meeting held at Clint
wood by Rev. M. F. Porter and
Joined the Missionary Baptist
church, and was baptized. by
Rev. Porter. He lived a con-
sistent christian life and was o
highly respectful citizen.
Mr.. Meade was believer in
the power of prayer and a short
time after the death of his lit
tie girl a friend was passing the
newly made grove and heard
somtone praying and looking
saw Mr.. Meade on his Bonded
knee beside the grave of his
dear little girl praying. Ht
was buried beside this little
grave.
Mr.. Meade was one of the
original members of he Mis-
s si9na ryyyu Baptist :.lpE church OF
eff his labor and means to the
building of this church. :
When Mr.. Meade moved to
this county several worthy
citizens movtd here with him,
they were Mr.. John Browning,
Mr.. w. Calvin Hughes, E.
Frank Hughes and James O..
Mooney.
Mr.. Meade's life may well be
summed up in the following
lines:
1.-THE best reformer is the man
whose eyes
Are quick to see oil beauty and
all worth,
And by his own discreet, well
ordered life
Alone reprove the erring."
Why weep for them who having
won
The bounds of mans appointed
years at last,
Life's-, blessings all enjoyed
life's labor done,
Serenely to their final rtst have
passed,
While the soft memory Of their
virtues
Linger like twilight hues,
When the sun is set.

chine-made ones have the advantage
of being less likely to pull. and 1t Is, of
course, possible to get them In lighter
weight than those knit by hand. On
the other hand, hand-knit sweaters are
considered extremely smart at present
and many Of the imported sweaters
are of this sort.
To look exactly right this season the
little girls sweater costume must not
be Of too dainty coloring. The colors
may be softened enough to avoid actual
crudeneSs, but they should not be of
the pastel sort, One of the best chill
dren'S outfitters shows sweaters in ver-
tical stripes of green and gray to be
worn with green linen skirts, red and
blue striped sweaters with skirts of
Copenhagen blue linen and others Of
green and orange-enough TO give an
IriShman brain Storm-worn with the
short pleated skirt Of orange linen.
You might think to hear some peo-
pie comment OH fashion that pastel
tones were all the rage this season.
AS result of my own observation I
would say that these rather anemic
tones were not half SO smart now as
they were IL months ago. For the
soft pretty type of afternoon frock they
are worn as they usually are worn in
the Spring. but the pastel colored
street ensemble, I should say. was not
so smart. And for daytime sports wear
I am sure we shall see q growing ten
dency as the season advances for
shades OF more pronounced coloring.
