COMMERCIAL CLUB
GIVES LUNCHEON
The Commercial Club luncheon
Tuesday was a nice affair and a
success in every way beyond the
expectations of any, and much
confidence was manifested in the
future of the cluh. Over 60 mem
bers of the club were present, to
enjoy the luncheon. Music for
the occasion was furnished by
W. M Erwin and his daughters,
Misses Ruth, Mabel and Helen.
Flowers were furnished by
Mesdames Cummings, Stephens,
Fields, Bruce and Mitchell, while
Mesdames Mitchell and Froman
Grant, were in charge of the dec
orations Mesdames Milburn,
Grant. Burks, Duffy, Fields,Gib
son, Richey and {Miss Annabeth
Rennie, assisted by Messrs E. P.
Duffy and Hardee Russell were
in charge of arranging and wait-
ing on the table
President L J. Milburn acted
as toast master, Mr. W. R. Bell
was the first speaker who told
of the success of a club in a Miss
ouri town about the size of Pauls
Valley that had 700 members.
Judge B. W. Patterson was
next who gave a history of some
Texas commercial |clubs, why
some of them failed and others
succeed, he also spoke forcefully
of the great detriment to com-
munities of factions and person-
ally jealousies in communities.
Congressman J. B Thompson
was the third and last speaker,
and delivered a splendid discourse
on co-operation and applied the
principles of the work of com-
mercial clubs
It is not an exclusive Pauls Val
ley club, if it were it would fail,
and those who have that idea
should get it out of their heads. It
is a club for every foot of trade
territory to Pauls Valley and that
means the county. There are al
ready several farmers who are
members of the club and there
will be more of them.
Road building and better farm
ing are just as much objects of
the club as it is building a larger
city, in order to make larger and
better markets forjfarm produtts
and everything else.
A paid secretary will be em-
ployed as soon as the right man
can be found.

GUARANTY ABSTRACT CG, SOLE
W. R. Bell who has been in the
loan business here since the first
of the vear, has bought the Gear
,anty Abstract Co., and takes po-
session today. It turns out that
Mr. Bell was making the loan
business a side issue until he
could establish himself in his
real business, abstracting, and
he will now drop the farm loan
business.
He had contemplated putting
in an abstract office, but conclud
ed that there is not room here
for three abstract offices, found
: that the Guaranty Abstract Com
j pany could be bought, and he
purchased it.
| Mr. Bell is an experienced and
! expert abstractor, for years be-
| fore coming to Pauls Valley he
had charge of the abstract office
and business of the Walton Trust
Co Mr. Bell is a fine business
man and during his short resi-
dence and business career here,
has made a mcst favorable im-
pression in this community, and
there is no doubt but that he will
make a success.
Mrs. Hampton who sold the
Abstract Co., to Mr.Bell, besides
being personally pleasant and
agreeable, is a fine business worn
an, and during her several years
residence here has made many
friends who hope that she will
continue to live in Pauls Valley.
NEW COUNTY SUPERINTEN-
DENT IS IN CHAR6E
Miss Pearl Bradfield retires
from office to day, as county su-
perintendent. She is the first and
only county superintendent up to
this day, she was elected at the
beginning of statehood and twice
since re elected, serving little
over seven years.She took charge
of the school system of the coun
ty seven years ago when there
were no school houses, no school
districts laid off, and not even a
school trustee in the county, and
what the immense task of organ
izing school districts, building
school houses and electing and
appointing school trustees were,
no one knows or will even know
i but her, yet she accomplished it
in a way that stands as a testi
;mony to her executive ability
j She not only made a most con-
■ scientious officer, but one of the
! best superintendents in the state
1 and she leaves a record to which
jshe and the people can point ,
'with pride.
| Prof. W. Cromwell, who was!
nominated and elected last year
to succeed Miss Bradfield, as-
sumes the duties of the office to-
day, and those duties fall into
most worthy hands. Prof. Crom

YOUR COMPETENT HELP
Every bottle or box of medicine made in our drug store is made by a competent pharma-
$
-cist. This is worth everything to our patrons.
No one who has not had years of experience in the peparation and
compounding of medicines and who has not been properly licensed
by our State Board Pharmacy, is allowed to perform the responsible
duty of preparing medicine for the sick, in our store in Pauls Valley
*
This fact should be worth a greit deal to our patrons, for no one should ever be allowed to
compound medicine who is not fully competent. A person not capable, or one who has not
thoroughly fitted himself for this very important work, should never be allowed to fill a pre-
scription or prepare medicine of any kind; the risk is too great. It is surely as important, in
fact, more important, that your medicine be made by properly qualified persons, than it is to
have your disease treated by a competent physician, or your house built by competent labor.
We belive in a Square deal for the aick a* well a* the healthy.
